Chapter 13

Aurelia skillfully avoided Jason’s touch with a smile.

Luckily, once the dishes arrived, a natural distance was created between them.

Aurelia attempted to find an entry point, “Mr. Lynch, I…”

Jason ate his food and interrupted her, “This dish is excellent, Ms. Simmons. Give it a try.”

“This one is good too.”

Jason continued eating, paying no attention to Aurelia.

Aurelia immediately grasped Jason’s intention.

He had no intention of discussing work and was deliberately making things difficult.

Her expression tightened for a moment, but she quickly adjusted herself.

Taking a sip of juice, she said, “Mr. Lynch, if you like it, and if it’s not enough, I can ask the waiter to bring more for you.”

Jason hesitated, casting a brief look at Aurelia after her words.

Aurelia refrained from further words and instead smiled as she picked up a dish for Jason, explaining each course as if her sole purpose was to have dinner with him.

Leslie, sitting at a nearby table, caught her cheerful demeanor.

Leslie didn’t pay much attention when he received a message from Aurelia.

However, as he prepared to leave, curiosity got the better of him about how Aurelia would handle Jason, given Jason’s infamous tactics.

Despite Leslie’s internal fluctuation of emotions, he wondered if she had forgotten about their marriage.

She went to such lengths to ingratiate herself with a stranger, all to take a shortcut. It seemed. crude.

Leslie, gripping the porcelain cup, emitted a soft creaking sound.

His assistant, Daniel, glanced at him and whispered, “This woman is quite bold. She can be so enthusiastic with a stranger. It seems Jason is in for a treat tonight.”

Leslie’s teacup landed on the table with a thud, startling Daniel.

“Mr. Synder, is there something wrong with the tea?”

“It’s terrible. Let’s go.”

Leslie stood up. His lowered lashes hid his unreadable emotions.

Daniel found the situation inexplicable. Did he say something wrong?

Jason, at the other table, had finished his dinner with Aurelia.

Thinking that Jason would have no reason to interrupt her, Aurelia said, “Mr. Lynch, can we now discuss the details of our collaboration?”

Jason stared at Aurelia’s natural face. It was without heavy makeup, and it exuded a delicate charm.

However, her tone was anything but charming. It was direct and firm. Unlike Kimberly, she remained composed.
