Chapter 1010 Two Childish MenThat was true.Sydney dismissed her suspicion of Luke, withdrew her gaze, and turned to look at the waiter. "Excuse me, since we do not have to pay the bill, then who paid for us? Or has there been a mistake in your system to show our unpaid bill as paid?”The waiter replied with a smile, "Ms. Raines, please rest assured that there is nothing wrong with our system. Your bill has indeed been paid by Mr. Flint, your boyfriend.""Julien?"Sydney and Luke said in unison.Luke stood up in surprise.The waiter nodded. "Yes, it was paid by Mr. Flint, and he also asked me to relay a message to Mr. Chase.""To me?" Luke pointed to his nose.Sydney also turned her head and looked at him, wondering what Julien had to say to Luke."Yes, Mr. Chase, it's you." The waiter smiled and nodded.Luke's mouth twitched slightly. "Okay, what did that guy ask you to tell me?"The waiter adjusted the tie around his neck and then replied with a serious face, "Mr. Flint
Chapter 1011 Sydney's WorryAfter all, she viewed Luke not only as her friend, but also as her elder brother.Moreover, Luke came to her rescue this time.So, Julien shouldn't have treated Luke that way.Sydney admitted that she should be to blame, too. She knew that Julien got jealous easily, but she didn't tell him in advance that she would have a meal with Luke so that Julien could be prepared.The reason why Julien said those words to Luke was largely that he had no idea of her eating with Luke. Thus, when he learned about it by chance, he became jealous.‘Well, I must learn from this experience and be careful later. I’d better tell Julien wherever I will go in the future. Otherwise, he will get jealous and do something unreasonable again.’Thinking of this, Sydney shook her head helplessly and then sent Julien the message....Julien had returned to Flint Corporation. As soon as he sat down, his phone dinged.He tugged on his tie wearily. After he completely loosened his
Chapter 1012 A Sudden ChangeMoreover, he would rather hope that Sydney could be happy than wish that she could break up.‘It is Julien, not I, who can bring Sydney happiness.‘Even if I hate Julien a lot, I still want to put in a good word for him.‘Well, I am such a great and selfless man.’Luke thought bitterly to himself, but he had to deliberately praise himself.Only in this way could he slightly alleviate his bitterness and helplessness.Sydney didn't know what Luke was thinking about. After listening to his guess and his analysis of Julien, she considered it possible.Julien’s emotions were not stable.He was detached sometimes while he got angry easily sometimes.Perhaps she overthought it.At the thought of it, Sydney felt relieved and smiled at Luke. "Thank you for your comfort. I feel less worried now.""That's good." Luke nodded and then added, "It's best if there's nothing between you and Julien. If something wrong happens, don't hide it and blame yourself. As
Chapter 1013 The Harsh TruthSydney came here for help. Even if Chaim showed contempt, she had to put up with it.Otherwise, if they offended Chaim and thus he refused to give them a loan, they wouldn't get anything.Skylight really needed the money now.Luke got the meaning in Sydney's eyes and he immediately calmed down. He took a deep breath and nodded to Sydney that he wouldn't be impulsive.Then Sydney let go of his sleeve. She smiled at Chaim, "Mr. Houston, is it something that is related to borrowing money from the bank?""No and yes." Chaim shook his head and then nodded meaningfully.Sydney frowned in confusion, "What do you mean?"Chaim took a sip of wine and answered, "Ms. Raines, you want a loan of two hundred million dollars."He held up two fingers and continued, "That's a lot of money. Even though this is the head office, we need to transfer funds from several branches to get the money you need. And most importantly, Ms. Raines, you want a fixed term loan, not a
Chapter 1014 Sydney's RealizationChaim remembered when he was young...Then he looked at Sydney, and his expression became gentle. At that moment, he did not look like a businessman but a kind elder."Ms. Sydney, don't feel bad. This is a realistic problem. It's hard for a person to succeed without connections or background. I hope you can understand that," Chaim said.Sydney understood what Chaim was saying, but she couldn't accept it.It made her efforts look like a joke.She worked so hard, but others only saw that her boyfriend was Julien. They couldn't see her efforts.And her hard work means nothing in the face of power."Syd," Luke got worried when he saw Sydney's clenched lips and pale face.And he felt guilty.He blamed himself for not being as powerful as Julien or having expanded the family business as Julien had done. He hadn't made the family business bigger.Otherwise, when Sydney was in trouble, he could have helped her out. But now he couldn't do anything for her."I'm
Chapter 1015 Luke's AdviceSydney agreed with Chaim very much and nodded nonstop."I'm reluctant to be looked down upon by others and to hear that others say that I'm good for nothing and rely on Julien for everything, but..."She supported her forehead and smiled bitterly. "But I just find that I have relied on Julien all the time and that I have accomplished few things by myself. It's ironic.""Don't say that." Luke patted her shoulder. He didn't want to see her doubt herself and become decadent.Chaim ate some food and then said, "Ms. Raines, you'd better not split hairs.""What?" She put down her hand from her forehead and looked up at Chaim. "Mr. Houston, what do you mean?"Chaim raised his hand and interrupted her. "How long have you run Skylight Corporation?"She didn't know why he suddenly asked her this question, but she still replied without hesitation, "Almost six months."Then he asked, "Have you ever learned management before you took over Skylight Corporation?"
Chapter 1016 Change Her MindThe business world was harsh but tolerant.If one struggled in business alone and didn't have any backers, they would be eaten up by those covetous predators in business sooner or later.Luke's tone was serious. Sydney bit her lip and looked at him.After a while, she asked with uncertainty, "Do you really think that I should rely on him?""My opinion is unimportant." He shrugged. "Now that Julien can be your backer, why do you refuse? I know the reason. You think that it will show your incompetence if you can't deal with things alone, and you will be inferior to Julien in the relationship. Thus, you're reluctant to accept his help."She fell silent.'Luke is right. It's the main reason why I'm reluctant to rely on Julien.'In my opinion, I can only rely on myself in the world. Others can help me temporarily but can't help me forever.'If I get used to relying on Julien, what can I do when I break up with him or when he feels annoyed because I ask
Chapter 1017 Sydney Has Figured It OutSydney's pupils suddenly contracted, and she couldn't help clenching the goblet. Luke's words made her aware of the consequences of her assertive behavior. Sydney had always thought of relying on herself and not on others, so she had never thought about what Julien’s feelings would be. Now she finally realized that her thoughts and actions were really unfair to Julien. It was true that she couldn’t solve many problems just by herself, and she needed to turn to others for help. This time, she asked Mr. Houston for help. Who would she turn to next time? If Luke hadn’t said these words, the person she would turn to would still not be Julien when the next time something happened. ‘Julien can endure it once or twice, but can he endure this kind of matter many times?’ Sydney asked in her heart. Every time she ignored him and asked others for help, it did make him think too much. After all, she would also feel bad if Julien told someone e
Chapter 1200 A Great Pair of Teacher and StudentThat was for sure.But those students wouldn't be Sydney.Sydney would always be special to Julien.He would always be a gentleman to Sydney.Even now that he was acting as Sydney's teacher, he was gentle and patient with her.Sydney had feared that Julien would lose patience and think her stupid when she couldn't understand what he was saying.She knew Julien was never a patient man.So she had been nervous. She was afraid that Julien would give up on her if she couldn't understand what he was talking about.She would be embarrassed in that situation. And she needed to find herself a new teacher.However, it turned out that Sydney was overly concerned.Julien was very patient with her. When Sydney didn't understand him, he didn't become impatient or think she was stupid. He patiently explained to her until she understood it. He was so patient with her. Nothing made him agitated.Gradually, Sydney learned that he wouldn't be
Chapter 1199 Teacher and StudentSydney's face and tone were both serious.Julien knew that if he was still unwilling to do as he was told, she would definitely do what she had said.Sydney was such a person.Even though their current relationship was close, she was not willing to take much advantage of him."Alas." Julien shook his head resignedly, pulling over her office chair and sitting down. "Is it okay now?"Sydney nodded in satisfaction. "Yes."With that, she also sat down on another chair that was slightly worse and then added, "Julien, don't think that I'm stubborn and unwilling to accept your goodness to me. I know that you want to do more for me, and you also want to let me sit more comfortably. I'm touched, and I accept it too, but if I really accept all of your kindness, especially when you're already helping me, it will only make me more and more greedy. "In the end, I will take all of your goodness to me as a matter of course, and over time, I will even forget t
Chapter 1198 Julien Was Going to Teach SydneySydney's eyes reveal a look of surprise.Julien noticed it, but deliberately teased her, "Why? Can't I come up?""Why not?" Sydney walked up to him and took his hand, smiling. "You're more popular at Skylight than I am. Even if I forbid letting you in, the staff will let you in. What can I do about that?""Nothing." Julien shook his head honestly."That's it!" Sydney pulled him inside. "I didn't think you'd be here this early, though. You usually get here around almost six. It's only a little after five now."So when Sydney saw him, she was surprised."I finished things, so I came over early. Are you done with your work?" Julien followed Sydney. He asked as he glanced at her desk.Sydney's desk was piled high with papers. Julien frowned at the sight. He liked to keep things neat and organized. "You've had a busy day, haven't you?"Otherwise, Sydney's desk wouldn't be this cluttered.Sydney didn't release Julien's hand until she le
Chapter 1197 It Was Good to LeaveYuri was one of Luke's best friends, so he knew very well what kind of person Yuri was.Such a slowcoach did something so quickly. It was conceivable that Luke was very important in Yuri's heart.Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken Luke's request so seriously.So how could Luke not be surprised and happy?As for Sydney, she didn't know Yuri. Nor did she know what kind of person he was.Now, after hearing Luke's words, she realized that Yuri was a person who worked very slowly.However, it was such an inefficient person who did her a favor so quickly. Sydney felt very touched."Maybe it was because you approached him that he did it so quickly, and of course, it was also possible that after being the boss all these years, he became much more efficient." Sydney guessed with a smile.Luke rubbed his chin and nodded. "It makes sense, but whatever the reason, it's good that Yuri got things done quickly.""Yeah, I called you mainly because I wanted yo
Chapter 1196 Strange LukeYet Sean was panicking at the moment.Why?Of course, because she didn't want her lie to be exposed.It was not like she was really leaving the country, so how could she possibly let Sydney see her off? Her lie would be exposed if Sydney went there. Sean held the cell phone with both hands and hurriedly explained, "Because I bought a ticket for an 11 PM flight. It's late, so I don't want to let you go back and forth. It's too troublesome. Besides, if you go to see me off so late at night, Mr. Flint will definitely not feel at ease."That was true.Sydney rubbed her chin. "But why did you choose such a late flight?"Sean continued to lie. "To catch up on my sleep on the plane so that when I get abroad, I can immediately go to work.""I see. Alright, then I won't see you off, but send me a message to let me know you board the plane smoothly. Otherwise, I won't be relieved," Sydney said.Knowing that Sydney had given up on the idea of going to see her
Chapter 1195 Reason for ResignationSydney sighed, "It wasn't the HR department that told me. Gianna went there for something and overheard it by accident, so she told me.""I see." Sean understood.'I can't believe Gianna said it. 'I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. 'It looked like God didn't want her to hide it from Ms. Raines either. Otherwise, how would Gianna have happened to show up at the HR department at that time?'"So it's true that you are quitting?" Sydney asked, pursing her lips.Sean nodded. "Yes."Sydney's heart sank after she got a definite answer from Sean, the person in question. "Why? There has to be a reason, right? I don't believe you have considered resignation for a long time. Gianna and I didn't hear about you quitting or feel you had the intention before you took a leave of absence and suddenly offered to resign. I never want to believe that nothing has happened to you. At the very beginning, Gianna and I guessed that you had a problem with
Chapter 1194 Sean Had Decided to Gave Birth to the BabyLuke wanted to ask, 'Can't you see I'm not happy?'The words were on his tongue, but he couldn't say them.Upset, Luke took a packet of cigarettes out of his pocket, pulled one out of it, and put it in his mouth. He then took out his lighter and was about to light the cigarette.However, just as the flame neared the cigarette, he suddenly paused. He glanced at the bed on which Sean was drinking the medicine, not paying attention to him. Then he put the lighter away and put the cigarette back in the packet.'I’m not going to smoke it. It's not a good cigarette. I'm going to change cigarettes next time. I didn't quit smoking for that woman.' Luke compressed his lips and thought to himself.Just then, Sean's cell phone rang, which broke the silence of the room.Sean finished her medicine. Her mouth was full of bitterness. She put the bowl back on the bedside table and hurriedly picked up a glass of water and took a sip of wate
Chapter 1193Gianna trusted Luke, so she didn't tell Sydney that Luke also knew Sean had been pregnant.She didn't feel the need to tell Sydney. "Mr. Chase will keep Sean's secret anyway."Convinced of this idea, Gianna had no worries at all. She looked at Sydney and asked, "Ms. Raines, do you think Sean quit the job because the miscarriage hurt her health?""I don't know, but it's possible." Sydney responded, giving a worried look.Sydney didn't have many female friends. Sean and Sharon were her only friends.Sharon followed Cayden to Jackal City. They had very little contact after that.Sydney called Sharon a couple of times, but the phone was never answered. Sydney guessed that Sharon must be busy or Cayden had assigned Sharon some tasks, so Sharon could not answer her calls.Last time when Sydney contacted Sharon, Sharon told her that Cayden didn't trust her and that he wouldn't allow her to follow him around as his bodyguard.Syndey hadn't talked to Sharon in a long time,
Chapter 1192 Sean Wants to Resign"Okay, I'll do it right away." The secretary nodded in response and picked up the file. "Then Ms. Raines, I'll take my leave."Sydney waved her hand. "Go ahead. Thank you.""You're welcome," Gianna smiled faintly and turned to head for the door.But after taking a few steps, she suddenly thought of something, stopped, and turned around. "By the way, Ms. Raines, there's something I don't know if I should say or not.""Just say it." Sydney lifted her chin slightly, signaling Gianna to continue.Seeing this, Gianna no longer hesitated. Standing upright, she said, "Here is the thing. This morning I went to HR Department. Secretarial Department recently needs to recruit a new assistant, so I went over there to ask if there were any suitable candidates.""Well, I know about this." Sydney nodded. "Go on."She knew that what her secretary wanted to say couldn't be this matter.Sure enough, Gianna took a breath and continued, "Then I heard them talking
