Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth

Aurelia entered the kitchen and organized the raw food materials in the refrigerator by category.

After putting on an apron, she prepared to pan-fry some steaks.

However, something was still on her mind.

She wondered how Millie’s blind date was going.

Aurelia tried calling her but she was unable to reach her.

So, she sent Millie a few messages instead.

“Millie, why can’t | reach you on your phone?”

“Millie, please call me back when you see this.”

She knew that Millie had a habit of sleeping in during the holidays. So she assumed that Millie was planning to sleep in the whole day

Setting her phone aside, Aurelia started cooking.

She washed some vegetables and cherry tomatoes for some salad. She planned to have them chill in the fridge while she pan- fried the steaks.

Sweating profusely, she went to switch on the electric standing fan. But it was gone. Instead, a cool breeze wafted in through the opened kitchen door. She was confused and perplexed.

She walked over to the kitchen door and noticed the electric standing fan was running, blowing in cool air from the air conditioning toward the kitchen.

The angle of the fan had to be positioned intentionally.

The only person who could have done it was Leslie.

The heat dissipated from Aurelia’s body.

She couldn't help but glance at the study.

Perhaps living with Leslie wouldn't be as challenging as she thought.

Maybe they could live more harmoniously together in the future?

Future?

Aurelia was startled by this thought and quickly shook her head.

Leslie only married her for Linda’s sake. There was no real future between them. She turned around and continued cooking.

In the study, Leslie called up his subordinate who would be lending him their car. “You don’t have anything strange in your car, do you?” he asked.

“Nope,” the subordinate said.

“Take everything out of your car tomorrow. Especially clear out your music player, remove all the songs,” Leslie said in a low voice.

“Hehe. Boss, the songs are good, right?” The subordinate laughed sheepishly. The employees of One Technology were Leslie’s confidants from overseas. Though they worked for him, they share a close relationship.

“I'm taking two days’ worth off your bonus,” Leslie said.

“But, boss...” The subordinate was on the verge of tears.

Satisfied, Leslie hung up the phone.

Just then, a new email came in from his computer.

It should be Daniel's investigation report on Young Advertising that he asked. As he was about to open it, he heard a scream from the kitchen.

“Ahr”

Leslie immediately rushed into the kitchen.

As Aurelia tried to put a piece of steak into a pan, the stove erupted accompanied by a loud explosion. Oil splattered everywhere. She screamed while quickly covering the pan with a lid.

However, the lid was thrown off, and flames shot out from the gaps.

She couldn't dodge in time.

Fortunately, he was saved by Leslie, who pulled her from behind.

away

She fell heavily into Leslie's arms, causing her to panic.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Leslie used a spatula to shut the lid back and it managed to extinguish the fire.

“It's okay,” he said calmly.

“Sorry.” Aurelia quickly explained, “I didn’t mean to. I’ve never made steak before, so | probably forgot to dry the water on the surface. Maybe that’s why it caught fire.

“If the pan was damaged, I'll buy you a new one.” As someone who loved eating beef, she felt a bit embarrassed about making such a mistake.

Both her parents didn’t like steak, so she never cooked it at home. She only ever had it with Millie a few times at restaurants. She thought it would be similar to stir-fried beef, but she ended up making a fool of herself. “It's okay to not know this sort of thing. No one’s blaming you.” Leslie said, his voice not containing a hint of admonition.

“um?”
