When Aure and Leslie stepped into the elevator, there weren’t many people inside. However, as they


    went down a floor, the elevator suddenly filled up with several people.


    Among the group of people, some women spotted Leslie and promptly positioned themselves next to


    him, causing Aurelia to squeeze herself into the corner.


    “Hey, Mr. Synder. Leaving work early today? No overtime?”


    “Yeah.” Leslie politely nodded and kept his distance.


    “Mr. Synder, are you free for dinner? We’re thinking of grabbing a bite together.”


    “I’m busy,” Leslie replied. He was straightforward about it and didn’t bothering up with an excuse.


    He had just said that he wasn’t working overtime, yet he instantly switched up and said he was busy.


    Meanwhile, Aurelia silently stood in the corner.


    She felt that Jessica and Maria’s concerns were totally unnecessary. After all, Leslie seemed immune


    to the charms of attractive women.


    But Aurelia had underestimated Leslie’s charm.


    After the elevator descended two more floors, several more attractive officedies stepped in.


    Aurelia couldn’t help but feel a sense of inferiority as she observed them.


    These white–cor workers were unlike any she had encountered before. Their beauty wasn’t just


    surface–level. Rather, it emanated from within and was coupled with


    confidence.


    They effortlessly talked about professional topics and could freelyugh. And even when they noticed a


    man that they liked, they’d approach him with unwavering confidence and without any pretense or


    nervousness.


    “Hey, Mr. Synder, it’s rare to see you clocking out early. We have a gatheringter, wanna join?”


    “No, I’ve got something to do,” Leslie politely replied.


    “Maybe next time then.” The woman smiled and turned to chat with her colleagues, asionally


    ncing at Leslie without making any overt moves.


    Yet, there would always be a few people who’d push the boundaries.

    One such woman pretended to lose her bnce and ended up falling into Leslie’s embrace. And


    despite her high heels, she barely reached Leslie’s chest. So, this allowed him to easily peek down her


    plunging neckline.


    “Mr. Synder, sorry for the inconvenience, it’s too crowded,” the woman said as her hands continued to


    touch Leslie.


    Upon observing this, Aurelia finally grasped Jessica and Maria’s frustration.


    With everyone bustling around, they couldn’t afford to lose theirposure. And if even someone as


    indifferent as Leslie couldn’t fend them off, how could Jessica and Maria handle it?


    Then, Aurelia’s eyes widened when she saw the woman’s fair–skinned hand about to


    reach Leslie’s shoulder.


    Immediately, she covered her mouth and loudly coughed, causing everyone to look at her as if she was


    contagious.


    After all, it was an elevator, and enclosed spaces were easily contaminated.


    But Amelia was quick to apologize and said, “Sorry, I caught a viral cold recently.”


    Instantly, everyone quickly shifted away to the other side, pushing the woman in front of Leslie aside as


    well.


    Leslie then moved to Aurelia’s side and asked, “Are you okay?”


    Aurelia shook her head. “I’m fine.”


    After regaining her bnce, the woman angrily straightened her clothes and shot Aurelia a hostile


    nce. “Mr. Synder, who’s this…”


    “Oh, I forgot to introduce myself.” Aurelia smiled and reached out her hand. “I’m Mr. Synder’s wife,


    Aurelia. Miss, are you alright? You seem a bit wobbly in those high heels. It’s an elevator, not a rocking


    bus.”


    “You…” The woman was seething in anger, but she was speechless upon hearing what Aurelia had just


    said.


    Just then, the elevator doors opened, and a few more people stepped in.


    During peak hours, the elevator would stop at almost every floor, bing slow and crowded.


    In her attempt to avoid the iing crowd, Aurelia identally bumped into Leslie’s embrace and was


    instantly embarrassed.


    Just a moment ago, she had mocked the woman for treating the elevator like a bus. But now, she was


    the one in Leslie’s embrace!


    So, Aurelia kept her head down, afraid to make a move. She was worried that Leslie might misinterpret


    her intentions.


    Just then, the woman Aurelia had mocked earlier menacingly red at her, intensifying her


    embarrassment.
