Aurelia sent a cheerful emoji, [How about I cook for you this weekend? I’m staying at my cousin’s place
so it’s not very convenient. Can I buy the ingredients and cook at your place?]
Arnold replied with a smiling emoji, [Sounds good.]
Then, he sent her some pictures he took of her from their trip to Provence.
He seemed to have a knack for capturing every perfect moment. In his lens, she was always stunning.
After lunch, Aurelia called a meeting with her colleagues to assign tasks.
The Design Department was divided into seven product design groups, each led by a senior designer
and staffed with several designers and assistant designers.
Only four people were willing to follow Aurelia.
In other people’s eyes, Evelyn was the obvious choice for director. They saw Aurelia as cannon fodder,
doomed to fail.
No one was foolish enough to risk their career.

handled by Jenny and Darcy, home gifts will go to Lily, and watches and men’s items will be Gary’s
responsibility. We’re understaffed and have a heavy workload. Let’s give it our all.”
“Alright.” The four of them were both excited and nervous. This was the first time they were leading a
project.
Aurelia naturally wanted to encourage them. “You’ve all been with the company for over three years,
longer than me even. We should have confidence. We’re no worse than those senior designers. This is
a rare challenge. As long as we give it our all, we have a chance at success.”
The four clenched their fists, nodding vigorously. “Alright, we’ll give it our all!”
That evening, when Aurelia returned home, she found Laura cooking and quickly joined in.
She wanted to learn several dishes and a soup before the weekend.
Laura thought she was doing it to please Leopold and was delighted.
“You know what they say, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. If the young master falls in
love with your cooking, he’ll never want to leave you.”
Aurelia knew Laura had misunderstood, but she didn’t correct her, just gave a small smile.
Under Laura’s guidance, she made a pot of beef and carrot stew and fried pork chop.
Just as they were about to eat, the door opened and Leopold’s tall figure appeared.
Aurelia touched her forehead, wasn’t the big boss supposed to be having a private meeting with
someone today?
Hadn’t he been coming to the house a bit too often lately?
He wasn’t really keeping tabs on her, was he?
Laura laughed and said, “Young master, you’re just in time for dinner. You haven’t eaten yet have you?
Today’s meal was made by Ms. Aurelia. She learned to cook especially for you.”

Aurelia broke out in a cold sweat.
Great, the misunderstanding had deepened.
She quickly waved her hands, “No, Mr. Leopold, I was just learning for fun, it has nothing to do with
you.
Please don’t misunderstand”
Laura gave her a knowing look, “Look at this girl, getting all shy”
Laura thought that Aurelia was too reserved, and she needed more help.
A sharp glint passed through Leopold’s eyes.
He reached out and ruffled her hair, “Enough talk, let’s eat.”
Any explanation would be seen as a cover–up. He could see right through her little tricks.
Aurelia stuck out her tongue and closed her mouth, focusing on her meal.
Leopold tried a piece of the beef and found it to his liking. The fried pork chop was also tasty, crispy on
the outside and tender on the inside.
He usually only ate with temperance, but today he had much more food.
Laura smiled so much her eyes were barely open. She whispered to Aurelia, “The young master really
likes your cooking. He ate it all.”
*Im glad he likes it Aurelia stuck out her tongue, hoping the big boss wouldn’t misunderstand and think
she had some sort of expectation!
After dinner, Laura brought out a fruit platter.
“Young master, why don’t you stay a while longer and help Ms. Aurelia with prenatal education. It’s
important for the father to be involved. The baby can sense the parents‘ emotions”
Aurelia felt like she was in the eye of a storm. Today, she was particularly sensitive to the term
“prenatal education.”
