Aurelia nodded upon hearing the staff’s explanation.
She found it quite reasonable that Leslie won the first prize in a lucky draw.
For some reason, she saw him as an exceptionally talented and chosen individual.
“Scan my code.” Aurelia took out her phone to pay.
“I’ve already paid,” Leslie said.
“No, I can’t let you pay so much,” Aurelia hurriedly tried to transfer the money back to him.
Leslie blocked her phone with his hand. “I can afford this.”
“Then, thank you.”
Aurelia hadn’t received her salary this month yet, and the money in her account was all spent on her
mother’s surgery.
The remaining funds were just enough to cover for her living expenses, and buying clothes would leave
her with nothing for the next month.
Perhaps she could add some extra money to their budget for the coming month. She couldn’t just take
advantage of Leslie.
While Aurelia was lost in thought, the staff took the opportunity to discreetly cut off all the price tags.
The actual price was strategically covered.

The dress Aurelia wore was the store’s flagship product, featuring a skirt adorned with shimmering
white petals that took a month for their embroiderer to craft. The flower buds were embellished with
pearls of the same color, creating a radiant effect as you walked.
Others wouldn’t be able to purchase it, and it was even impossible to steal it.
The boss actually sold it off at such a low price and paid for it himself.
The staff handed the bag to Aurelia enviously.
“Miss, Sir, welcome to visit again.”
“Thank you.”
Aurelia took the bag, noticing a blue orchid printed on the black lace bag.
She felt like she had seen this orchid somewhere before.
“Mr. Synder, about this orchid …” Aurelia pointed to the bag.
“It’s almost time. We still need to buy shoes.” Leslie glanced at the orchid and smoothly changed the
topic.
“Oh, okay.”
Aurelia didn’t ask further questions and followed Leslie wearing the disposable slippers.
However, after Leslie had walked a few steps, he turned around and took the bag from her hands.

Aurelia was momentarily stunned and realized he was a much better person than she had imagined.
At the shoe counter, she chose a pair of black high heels because they were resistant to dirt.
Leslie directly handed her a pair of nude-colored high heels.
Seeing the black high heels, he thought of the high heels Seth had given Aurelia, which were now
hidden in her bag.
Although Seth was a scum, he was Aurelia’s first love, and they had been together for more than three
years. Those feelings wouldn’t just suddenly disappear.
Leslie didn’t know why he felt uncomfortable.
“This pair.”
“But…” Aurelia tried to argue, and Leslie’s intense gaze landed on her.
“What?”
“Okay.”
Aurelia put on the high heels, which were comfortable and matched her outfit. Even the staff praised
her repeatedly.
“Miss, you have fair skin, so the nude color looks great on you.”
“Thank you. How much are these shoes?” Aurelia couldn’t let Leslie spend more money.
“It’s not expensive. Just eighty …” Sensing Leslie’s gaze, the staff immediately changed the price to
eighty from eight hundred.
Aurelia was surprised. “Is it your shop’s anniversary, too?”
“That’s right,” the staff said while they chuckled.

“Please give me the receipt, then.”
“Of course. Please wait,” the staff said.
Aurelia hurried to Leslie and smiled. “Mr. Synder, you are such a lucky star. When you’re here, it’s
either a big discount or a shop’s anniversary. With just a touch of your luck, I hope everything will go
well for me later.”
“It’s just a discount. What’s there to be so happy about?” Leslie asked in confusion.
“You don’t get it. I’ve never come across such good things. I just have to live like that. Besides, the
world moves on. I can’t just go through life in tears all the time. You and your mom helped enough. No
matter what happens next, I’ll be fine.” She smiled.
He frowned. He had never met a woman like Aurelia.
She puts her emotions aside and tries her best to not worry others.
He had seen women who demanded the world’s attention just because they were upset.
Some even thought it was only right that men should spoil them.
Aurelia, on the other hand, gave him a different feeling.
“Mr. Synder, what’s wrong?” she asked, wondering why he was staring at her.
“Nothing. Let’s go.” Leslie turned around, resuming his usual indifferent expression.
Aurelia nodded and followed him back to the office.
As they entered the building, he paused.
