Chapter 16 No Transaction History

If they hadn’t broken up, Aurelia would have been playing both sides of the fence.

If that was really the case, then Aurelia truly exemplified the saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” She would be incredibly good at hiding her true self!

“It’s still uncertain at this point.” Matthew didn’t want to blame Aurelia unjustly.

“Rest assured, Mr. Quigley, I’m going to check it out right now!” assured Gordon.

“All right.”

Aurelia had been busy since nine in the morning until lunch break when David ordered takeout.

It was pasta with salad..

In the shop, apart from David, there was usually one other shop assistant.

The boy, who had just turned eighteen, was named Chad. He claimed to dislike studying and, upon graduating from high school, came directly to David’s place. However, it seemed that people from all over the world frequented the shop, and he was able to effortlessly switch between Uprian, Granatanolan, and Friyxian. He likely had a natural gift for languages.

David paid him a monthly salary of three thousand and five hundred, which covered meals but not accommodation. There were also bonuses for perfect attendance and commissions.

At a young age, he enjoyed live streaming. Handsome and eloquent, he often promoted products during his broadcasts, gaining considerable popularity.

Yesterday, a large item was sold, earning him a commission of a full fifty thousand.

It must be said that the live streaming industry was truly in its golden age.

“Aurelia, I’d like to treat you to barbecue tonight!” Chad proposed, all the while devouring his meal as he made plans with Aurelia.

Being of an older age, he couldn’t stand the frivolity of those young men. “She spent the entire day restoring an antique painting, leaving her utterly exhausted. She isn’t going to have a barbecue for dinner. You
