Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth

Chapter 46 Kimberly chuckled, “I doubt it. | mean, | haven't exactly saved Mrs. Lynch’s life or her daughter’s. What's there to envy?”

Acolleague said, “Mrs. Lynch isn’t even part of One Technology. Even if Mr. Lynch had a say, he’s still just a manager. You know how the boss of One Technology is. Ultimately, it’s his call for all the collaborations.”

Kimberly smiled and stopped talking further, but everyone in the office had heard those words clearly.

Those who had previously mocked Kimberly for her adeptness at charming wealthy men suddenly changed their tune, eagerly seeking to gain favor with the prospective deputy

director.

Kimberly grinned at Aurelia. However, Aurelia remained focused on her work, refusing to even acknowledge Kimberly's presence.

Kimberly was clueless about lan. It seemed improbable for him to have gifted her such expensive clothing-

Seeing that she had failed to impress Jason, Kimberly shifted her focus, fearing that her position in the office would be compromised.

However, Aurelia was unfazed by it all.

Noticing Aurelia’s indifference, Kimberly felt a twinge of dissatisfaction. In her point of view, Aurelia should envy her, especially considering the outfit that she was currently dressed in. After all, with her monthly salary, Aurelia couldn’t even afford the pair of shoes Kimberly was wearing.

At the thought of shoes, Kimberly's eyes honed in on Aurelia’s weathered footwear. An arrogant smile spread across her face. She then elegantly took a seat, subtly showing off the expensive designer heels under her dress.

“Kimberly, are those Christian Louboutin heels?” someone asked.

“For us ladies, owning a pair of Louboutin heels is a necessity. These are only six thousand dollars. You should all get yourselves a pair too. Otherwise, you won't be able to keep up with the trend,” she boasted.

Kimberly lifted her feet, showing off her expensive lambskin high-heeled shoes.

“Are you interested? I’m quite familiar with the store’s sales associate and can help reserve a pair for you. We can have afternoon tea and take photos together. It'll look great,” Kimberly said enthusiastically.

“I'd like that!” “Me too!” A few colleagues expressed their interest as they stood up excitedly, and even Millie raised her hand to join them.

Aurelia was taken aback by the sight. Millie, who had previously disliked Kimberly's showiness the most, was now actually planning to purchase a pair of heels that cost six thousand dollars.

Chapter 46 1272 It seemed like she would be stretching her budget thin this month.

Aurelia discreetly signaled to Millie, hoping to convey her concern. However, either Millie didn’t catch on to the signal, or she deliberately chose to ignore it.

Aurelia was perplexed. Suddenly, Kimberly appeared before her.

“Aurelia, would you also like a pair? Look at your heels. They're quite worn out.”

“No, thank you. My shoes are just fine.”

Aurelia glanced at her own high heels. It was a classic pair of black heels. The pointed style accentuated her feet gracefully.

However, the pointed tips were a little scuffed, making them appear a bit worn.

However, she didn’t feel ashamed because they were a gift from her parents after she had completed her internship. It had cost them almost a thousand dollars for the shoes. Although it wasn’t from a luxury brand like Kimberly’s, it was still a pair of heels from a mid-luxury brand.

William and Ava had only ever worn unbranded shoes, which cost less than 100 dollars for a pair. Their decision to buy Aurelia an expensive pair of high heels was a clear display of their affection for her.

To Aurelia, it wasn’t just a pair of shoes. They symbolized her parents’ love for her. While the shoes would get old and worn, the love behind them remained timeless. Hence, Aurelia didn’t see the need to purchase a new pair of exorbitantly priced shoes.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

If they had the means, splurging on luxury items wouldn't be an issue. However, most of her colleagues came from average families. It seemed unreasonable to her for them to buy shoes or bags worth more than their monthly salary, solely for the sake of taking good photos.

Although Aurelia couldn’t comprehend it, she refrained from meddling in other people’s lives. She simply smiled in response to avoid dampening anyone's spirits.

However, Kimberly wasn’t about to let Aurelia off so easily and seized the opportunity to make a pointed comment.

“Aurelia, you’ve been wearing those heels for three years. We get it,” Kimberly stated. Her tone carried many implications, attracting the attention of their colleagues.

They recalled Aurelia’s three-year relationship with Seth. Those high heels must have been a gift from Seth.

Despite being married, it seemed that she still couldn't bear to part with the items from her past relationship. After all, Aurelia wasn’t an exception to sentimentality.
