Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth

Aurelia caught a hint of gossip lingering in the air. And even though she wasn’t a fan of gossip, the relaxed atmosphere in the office piqued her curiosity for some reason.

Unconsciously, she shifted her position on the couch and made space for Maria and Jessica, the other receptionist.

Maria and Jessica didn’t hesitate to take their seats either, one on each side of Aurelia.

“Ms. Simmons, don’t you have a bit of crisis awareness? Right now, Leslie’s the most popular programmer in the industry.

“He’s handsome, and he’s in charge of developing new products too. And do you know

what’s the most crucial?”

“Hmm… Not losing hair?” Aurelia seriously replied.

Maria and Jessica were left speechless at her response.

Aurelia’s expression turned solemn. “Is there someone who has a crush on Leslie?”

Maria nodded. “Of course! Don’t you know how sought after he is? Girls from all over the building are lining up for him.”

Jessica chimed in, “Do you know which group of people added me on WhatsApp the most on my first day at work?” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Aurelia shook her head.

“It was all girls asking if I could introduce them to Mr. Synder. We gained five pounds this month from all the snacks they’d kept sending us. They wouldn’t stop even when we refused. I don’t know how to deal with them,” Jessica said.

“Yeah, we really can’t afford to gain any more weight. How about finding a way to let everyone know that you two are married?” Maria suggested.

“So, you want me to intervene because you’ve gained weight from all the snacks being sent?”

Both Maria and Jessica nodded in distress.

Aurelia couldn’t help but chuckle, struggling to hold back her laughter.

Then, Maria gently nudged her and said, “Why are you laughing? Even though Mr.

Synder isn’t into other women, Ms. Whitlock is an exception. She’s the only woman by Mr. Synder’s side, and she treats him with great care.”

Jessica nodded. “Yeah, she’s only been back for a week, but she’s already glued to Mr. Synder. There’s no way she doesn’t have some sort of ulterior motive.”

Aurelia slightly furrowed her brows and recalled the hostile glare Cynthia had given her.

It had indeed been full of animosity.

Maria observed Aurelia’s silence and assumed that she didn’t believe her. So, she decided

to be frank.

She said, “Ms. Simmons, we’re really rooting for you and Mr. Synder. And don’t underestimate Ms. Whitlock. She’s attractive, well–educated, successful in her career,

and she’s right by Mr. Synder’s side.

“She could easily influence Mr. Synder’s future. And if you don’t act fast, Mr. Synder might fall under her sway.”

“Do you… have faith in us?” Aurelia pointed to herself in disbelief, surprised that they

had confidence in her and Leslie.

Aurelia had thought that the high–level white–collar workers in this building wouldn’t pay attention to someone like her. After all, she was just a regular worker.

“Of course! You won’t believe it, but when we first got here, Mr. Synder’s face was as expressionless as a cartoon character. Although he looked good, he had no emotions. He was like a mannequin, and we had to be careful whenever we talked to him,” Maria explained.

“But ever since we found out about you, he’s been changing every day. The office’s atmosphere went from dull and lifeless to lively,” Maria remarked.

“We were ready to quit on our first day, but when we saw Mr. Synder defending the lunchbox you made him, we changed our minds,” Jessica chimed in.

Aurelia listened to them, surprised. “He defended the lunchbox I made?”

“Yeah, that blue box. He takes it out every day when everyone’s having takeout. It’s really childish.” Maria chuckled. “But it’s also because of this that we think this place is actually pretty good. It’s easygoing. We sit for six hours a day, smile, and make ten grand a

month.”

“Wait a minute!” Aurelia suddenly interrupted loudly.

“Do you also think Mr. Synder is childish?” Maria laughed.

“No way. You guys get paid ten grand a month to just sit here?” Aurelia was stunned. Was this for real?

“Yeah. Isn’t that normal?” Maria asked.

Aurelia was left speechless.

Was it even considered normal? Her base salary at Young was only four thousand, and the rest of her earnings came from her tireless efforts of hustling for performance. bonuses.
