Chapter 156 At that moment, Daniel, the production director, was heading over to Aurelia, with a box of hazelnut cookies in his hand. “My sister brought these back from overseas,” he said. “I know you're a big fan of hazelnut cookies, so | thought I'd bring you some.” “Thank you,” Aurelia responded with a smile, reaching into her bag to pull out a box of nuts. “Interestingly, | know you like these tea—flavored nuts. | got you a box when | saw them yesterday.” Daniel laughed, “Manager Aurelia, you know me so well.” Aurelia pumped her fist in an encouraging gesture. “Your production team is up next. Go get ‘em, Daniel.” “Let's do this together.” Daniel said, leaving with a smile.

Watching his retreating figure, Darcy asked in a low voice, “Boss, did you know Daniel was bringing you cookies?” “I didn’t, but | genuinely did prepare those nuts for him,” Aurelia answered with a laugh.

Aurelia loved hiding secrets in her designs.

But these secrets couldn't be hidden from the factory, and Daniel was arguably the most important person in the company, save for the CEO. He held all her little secrets, and it was important to maintain a good relationship with him.

Evelyn, watching from a distance, gave a light smile and commented teasingly, “When | first started working here, | heard that Manager Aurelia was very popular in men and had a knack for managing relationships with male colleagues. It seems the rumors were true.” A surge of jealousy was ignited within Leopold.

He hadn't expected Aurelia to be such a social butterfly! “Stop involving yourself in baseless gossip. It's beneath you,” he said coldly, causing Evelyn's face to pale slightly.

She had meant to chastise Aurelia, but ended up being reprimanded herself.

“l understand,” she said, deflated.

When it was the Design Department's turn to compete, Aurelia stood up, “Good luck everyone in the Design Department.

Remember, friendship first, competition second.” She didn’t single out her own team for encouragement. As a mid-level manager, she had to show a broader perspective.

Evelyn also walked over to cheer for the team. How could she let Aurelia do it alone? Aurelia’s team had the advantage of height, and in the end, they emerged victorious, becoming the representatives of the Design Department.

After the competition, Aurelia and Darcy handed out water and towels, providing excellent support.

Avery stole glances at Leopold, who was not too far away.

Before the competition, he had been secretly observing Leopold.

His eyes kept straying towards his sister, especially when male colleagues were talking to her.

Something was definitely off! Unaware of her brother's suspicions, Aurelia led him to a shady spot and handed him some fruit. “Eat more While Avery was eating fruit and browsing Twitter, Aurelia chatted with Darcy and Gary.

Not too far away, Leopold clenched his jaw, his eyes icy.

Had she forgotten about him completely? After the break, the semi-finals began.

Darcy replaced Gary on the field.

Aurelia took a sip of her juice, reaching into her bag to offer a bag of potato chips to the person next to her. “Gary, have some chips.” When there was no response, she looked up to find Gary gone and Leopold in his place.

“Leo... Mr. Leopold!” she stammered, startled.

Leopold watched her reaction, taking in her fear. Was she feeling guilty? Aurelia swallowed hard, picking up the dropped chips.

“Mr. Leopold, weren't you sitting over there? Why did you come here?” Leopold had reached the end of his patience. He needed to show her that he couldn't be ignored any longer, his anger still burning.
