“Does your home happen to be in the same direction as Mr. Quigley’s? Are they both in Juset District? If so, Mr. Quigley, perhaps you can give Angela a
Aurelia blinked.
She knew that Matthew owned many properties, and it seemed that Juset District was located near Quigley Group.
However, her residence was not on the way to Starry Sea Mansion.
“It’s out of my way. I live in Starry Sea Mansion.” Without any hesitation or need for an excuse, Matthew flatly refused.
Timothy was stunned.
Angela’s smile froze.
The others acted as if they hadn’t heard their conversation.
“Tll just take a taxi,” Angela said, clutching the limited–edition bag in her hand tightly.
Timothy also felt a bit awkward. “Let me take you there. I have an apartment in Juset District. You can stay there today.”
“Apologies for the inconvenience, Mr. Jagger,” Angela responded. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
After Matthew got into Aurelia’s small car, a few people were taken aback once again.
“What brand is that small car? Is it a new limited edition model?” Levi asked, furrowing his brows. How could I not recognize it?
Angela recognized the brand. That car had been advertised on her show before. “A domestically produced new energy vehicle.” To what extent had he and Aurelia reached for them to ride in that sort of car?
“That’s Mr. Quigley’s secretary’s car, isn’t it?” Rainier spoke up.
His e
eyes sparkled with intensity. It seemed that Aurelia came from a humble background, feigning innocence and showing no desire to climb the social ladder. That was probably why Matthew was taking care
Timothy clicked his tongue. “I almost thought it was another limited edition.”
On the ride back, Matthew, who had a few drinks, was somewhat tipsy.
Her car was somewhat small. She didn’t notice it when she was alone, but when Matthew got in, the car seemed even more cramped.
“If you’re tired, you can take a nap first. I’ll wake you up when we get home,” Aurelia said, glancing at the weary Matthew.
Matthew lifted his eyelids to glance at her. “All right.”
Perhaps it was the relaxed and peaceful atmosphere in the car, coupled with the non– threatening demeanor of the woman beside him, that allowed him to let their guard down. There was no overpowering scent of perfume in the car, just a
Aurelia played some more soothing music. Matthew, who originally had insomnia, unknowingly fell asleep.
Throughout the journey to Starry Sea Mansion, Matthew was very sleepy.
When he parked the car, Matthew opened his eyes.
There was still a hint of sleepiness lingering in his eyes.
“Awake already? We’re home.” Aurelia was somewhat surprised. She had initially thought he might need to sleep a little longer.
First. Matthew gave a nod of agreement, then glanced at his wristwatch. “Let’s go. Time to head home.”
When the words “going home” slipped out, Matthew’s hand, which was about to push open the car door, paused for a moment.
He glanced back at Aurelia, who was just about to get out of the car.
When Aurelia saw him looking at her, she asked, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing. Let’s go.” Matthew got out of the car.
The two had a noticeable height difference. Under the moonlight, Matthew’s silhouette completely enveloped Aurelia.
Aurelia gazed at the overlapping shadows on the ground, blinking.
“Let me carry the bag.” Matthew took the bag from Aurelia’s hands.
The money she had just won was all in cash, carried in a handbag from the club, filled to the brim with several million in cash.
The weight was not light when it was lifted.
For Aurelia, that weight was nothing. Just as she was about to speak, the bag was taken away by Matthew.
“Thank you,” she said.
The two entered Starry Sea Mansion, where the lights were brightly lit, left on from their previous visit.
It was already half past one in the morning.
Aurelia was feeling somewhat drowsy. Normally, she wouldn’t stay up past eleven each night..
Somewhat dazed, she walked toward the upper floor.
Matthew watched from the side as Aurelia entered the house, looking drowsy and ready to fall asleep at any moment, his thin lips curling slightly.

Even though Aurelia was young, her daily routine was as regimented as an elder’s.
Finished
Earlier at the club, she had discreetly yawned when no one was looking. On the drive back, she had to be completely focused, but at that moment, she was utterly drained of energy.
“Just leave the money on the couch, all right? I’ll collect it when I wake up tomorrow morning.” Aurelia remembered the most important thing, which was
Thinking about the first substantial sum of money she had ever carned in her life, which surprisingly came from a game of cards, she couldn’t help but want to laugh. Then, with a beamin
Of course, there was another possibility, which was to enter the casino.
However, it was easy to get sucked into places like the casino once entered.
What Aurelia did earlier was unintentional, unlike the deliberate choice to go to the casino.
A few million is enough to make her this happy? Matthew’s gaze fell on her smiling eyes. “Should I often take you to win their money in the future?”
Aurelia decisively shook her head. “No, let’s not. Winning once is enough. One shouldn’t be too greedy.”
She desired money, but she believed in earning it through her own skills and hard work.
Matthew was somewhat surprised. “You don’t want more money?”
“This money, earned through the expenditure of luck, one must not be too greedy for,” she replied.
Matthew fell silent for a few seconds. “That makes sense.”
Following that, the two individuals ascended the stairs and returned to their respective rooms.
After they took a bath, it was already past two o’clock.
Aurelia fell straight into a dreamland as soon as she lay down on the bed.
When she woke up the next day, she didn’t even hear the alarm clock.
Surprisingly, she slept until eight o’clock.
Fortunately, they started work at nine.
She hastily tidied up before rushing downstairs and saw Matthew.
He was carrying something in his hand, which appeared to be breakfast.
Matthew saw Aurelia, who was in a hurry to leave, and began to speak. “Have breakfast before heading to
work.”
“There’s no time left. I’ll go ahead. Tate too much last night, so I’m not very hungry even though I just woke up. Aurelia said that as she made her way t
With long strides Mathew walked over and handed her a small har “Inside are sandwiches and milk Far

when you have the time.”
Aurelia didn’t refuse. She accepted it and said, “All right, thank you!”
She had just started working for a couple of days. She absolutely couldn’t afford to be late.
Finished
After Aurelia left in a flurry, Matthew glanced at the bag of money placed not far away. She hadn’t even spared it a glance when she left in the morning.
He grinned and returned to the dining table.
The breakfast delivered from the Quigley residence was always diverse. Ever since he started living with Aurelia, he had unknowingly grown accustomed
He glanced at the message Timothy had just sent on the phone, asking for information.
Timothy: just asked your assistant, Gordon. You don’t have any other secretaries, so is Aurelia your mistress?
Matthew: No, she isn’t.
Timothy: She’s just a casual fling then? Last night, Rainier took an interest in her and asked me about the nature of your relationship with her.
Rainier? Matthew’s thin lips pressed together coldly.
A chill emanated from him in waves.
Matthew: Tell him not to harbor illusions about people he shouldn’t be thinking about,
Timothy: Such possessiveness. It doesn’t seem like there’s no relationship at all, does it? You can’t possibly be serious about making her your girlfriend,
