Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth

Chapter 10

Aurelia opened the door slightly, extending a hand to push out a copy of the agreement without stepping out from her room.

“Sorry about your coat. My wet hair got on it. I’ll wash and return it tomorrow.”

“And the clothes you left on the sofa should be done in the washing machine. Dry them yourself.”

“Oh, if you have any secrets you find hard to share, I’ve organized events for hospitals before so I know many doctors. I can introduce you.

Leslie hesitated. A hidden secret? Did he seem like the kind of person involved in such matters?

Just as he was about to inquire, Aurelia’s bedroom door had already closed.

Well, should he bother explaining to her what a hidden secret meant?

Leslie turned towards the laundry room on the balcony, opened the washing machine, and found it filled with clothes Daniel had bought to create chaos.

Displeased, Leslie took out the clothes, preparing to throw them away, and a pair of underwear fell out.

Leslie finally understood what Aurelia meant by a hidden secret.

It seemed Daniel was asking to be fired.

Leslie angrily threw all the clothes into the trash bin.

On his way back to the room, he passed the guest bathroom.

Earlier, Aurelia mentioned the shower in the guest bathroom was broken, and he always felt she was just making excuses.

Leslie, almost involuntarily, entered the guest bathroom, turned on the shower, and found not drop of water coming from the overhead.

After inspection, he realized there was a problem with the water pipe. Such an issue couldn’t be intentional, so Aurelia didn’t lie to him.

Which of her statements were true, and which were false?

At 6:00 am, Aurelia reflexively woke up to her alarm. She stretched and quietly headed to the kitchen after a quick wash–up.

Aurelia habitually opened the fridge to minimize her presence and avoid encounters with Leslie.

However, she was puzzled by its sparse contents–just a few eggs and half a bag of toast.
