Chapter 82
Leopold shot her an elusive glance, his eyes becoming unfathomably deep.
This twist was somewhat unexpected to him.
This woman always had a way of catching him off guard!
He gave Kevin a subtle nod, and Kevin spoke, "Building camaraderie among colleagues is not a bad
thing, and the company does not oppose interdepartmental relationships. However, such violations that
disrupt the entire company over a minor misunderstanding should be strictly avoided in the future. The
Design Department will decide how to handle this."
As he spoke, Aurelia's phone buzzed. It was a message from Leopold, [Meet me in my office after the
meeting.]
She stole a glance at him. His strikingly handsome face remained impassive, icy and indifferent.
Was she going to be interrogated after the meeting?
Once the meeting was over and everyone had left, she approached him.
"Mr. Leopold, is there something you need?"
Leopold leaned back in his executive chair, his slender fingers tapping lightly on the desk, like a judge
pondering over a case.
"You're quite daring, planning on marketing even before the new design is out."
Aurelia pursed her lips. She knew this hurdle was yet to be crossed. Fooling the big boss was not going
to be easy.
"What if I told you I was set up? Would you believe me?"
Leopold took a sip of his coffee and replied in a deep voice, "Who set you up?"
"Who else could it be?" Aurelia plopped down on the couch, venting her frustration, "On Friday, Evelyn Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
purposely leaked false news, saying she was inviting the marketing team to a resort for the weekend.
Without good marketing, even the best designs won't sell. In my hurry, I decided to bond with the
marketing team as well."
"So, your solution was to form an alliance with the marketing department?"
Leopold raised an eyebrow. Who would come up with such an outlandish idea?
Aurelia gave an awkward smile, but didn't respond.
This was something she had come up with on the spot.
On Saturday, when she saw Evelyn at Muse Club, she knew something was amiss.
Evelyn should have been at Moonlight Lake Resort.
She quickly sent Darcy to investigate and found out they never went, nor did they invite the marketing
team.
She immediately realized she had been tricked, but since the invitation to the marketing team had
already been sent, it couldn't be canceled. She had to quickly change it to a birthday confession party.
"Mr. Leopold, Evelyn set this trap from the start. You're not going to ignore this kind of backstabbing
and unfair competition, are you?"
Leopold's cold eyes gleamed under the light, full of mockery, "If someone sets a trap, and you walk
right into it, it only proves you're a fool."
Damn it!
Aurelia cursed inwardly. He was clearly shielding Evelyn!
"Are you going to turn a blind eye?"
"I only care about the results," Leopold spoke coldly, his expression inscrutable.
In Aurelia's eyes, he was clearly favoring Evelyn. The scales had obviously tipped in her favor.
"Boss, if you mix personal feelings with work, how will you win the respect of your employees?"
Leopold's brows knitted together, and his face turned grave. A chill seemed to emanate from him.
"Who gave you the right to question me?"
Aurelia was infuriated. No wonder Evelyn was so fearless. She had Leopold's favor!
Evelyn was his first love, and had all his affection. How could she compete with that without making a
fool of herself?
"Since you only care about the results and not the process, if I win, you better accept it!"
Leopold stood up from his chair and walked over to her, "Stop trying to outwit me with words, we still
have a matter to settle."
She flinched slightly, "What?"
He looked down at her, a sharp glint in his eyes, "On Friday, you suddenly requested an increase in the
budget, were you planning to use that money to gain favor?"
She was a stingy, calculating, and audacious miser, and her schemes were becoming more and more
blatant, even targeting him now.
Aurelia's heart skipped a beat. Damn, he had found out!
But so what?
