Leslie looked at his colleagues in confusion. “What bed?”


    “The bruise is only showing up now, so it should be…” The colleague chuckled,


    It was a joke, but he couldn’t explicitly say it because, after all, Leslie was his boss.


    Following his colleague’s gaze, Leslie rubbed his forehead. “It was Aure who bumped


    into me.”


    He thought his exnation was clear, but his colleague’sughter became even more cryptic.


    “Is Mrs. Snyder okay?”


    “She went to the hospital,” Leslie said.


    Everyone spat their coffee out in surprise and looked at Leslie in shock.


    Was Leslie really that intense?


    Leslie looked at them, still puzzled. “What’s going on?”

    Daniel then put down his coffee and approached him, saying, “Mr. Synder, this is something better


    discussed in private. Let’s not talk about it anymore.”


    But Leslie sat down and said, “Exin it to me.”


    Daniel sighed and whispered, “You don’t need to bring up your private affairs with Ms. Simmons, right?”


    “Who said it was…” Leslie suddenly realized that his words had been misinterpreted.


    “Mr. Synder, it’s just human nature to go overboard sometimes. Besides, look at Ms. Simmons‘ face.


    She’s so beautiful and lovely.


    “Any man would feel protective, right? Well, except for me. And her figure, so perfectly shaped. Who


    wouldn’t be tempted? Of course, except for me.”


    “Except for you? Seems like you’ve got it all figured out.” Leslie raised an eyebrow.


    “No, Mr. Synder. What I meant was, it’s normal for you to feel that way about Ms. Simmons,” Daniel


    hurriedly exined.


    “I don’t feel that way about anyone,” Leslie said meaningfully.


    “Maybe… your love runs deep.” Daniel analyzed.


    “Get back to work.” Leslie dismissed the notion of love.


    “Okay.” Daniel quickly left.


    After that, Leslie leaned back in his chair and took a moment to rx with his eyes closed.


    Just then, Cynthia’s voice came from the office. “Why’s everyone in such a good mood today?”


    “It’s all because of Mr. Synder… He showed up with a big bump on his forehead.” A


    perceptive colleague immediately redirected the conversation to Leslie again, pointing to the noticeable


    bump on his forehead.


    Upon noticing this, Cynthia immediately approached Leslie and reached out to touch his forehead.


    However, Leslie quickly dodged her and said, “Let’s get back to work.” He kept it brief to save Cynthia


    from embarrassment and put an end to the joking.


    Cynthia’s hand hung in the air for a moment before she awkwardly withdrew it. Then, she sat down to


    work.


    Recently, Jason had taken his annual leave to apany his wife who had just given birth. So,


    Cynthia had volunteered to temporarily handle his responsibilities.


    After all, she didn’t want Leslie to see her as someone who couldn’t bnce professional and personal


    matters.


    Shortly after, Jessica from the reception knocked on the door and entered the room. “Ms. Whitlock, I’ve


    arranged the interviewees in the meeting room. Here are their resumés.”


    “Okay.” Cynthia took a look at the stack of resumés.


    Then, she frowned slightly and called out to Jessica, “Jessica, how did you screen these applicants?


    Ourpany doesn’t hire female employees.”


    “But I checked the online job postings, and it didn’t mention any gender restrictions,” Jessica replied,


    puzzled.


    “That’s impossible. Don’t go thinking that you can change the information just because you got hired,”


    Cynthia said, displeased.
