Chapter 1055 Change of State MindAlthough Hunter couldn't see, he could imagine Sydney's cheerful smile on the other end of the phone. "I accept your congratulations. You have my word. When I get promoted, I'll return and back you up."He thumped his chest with a resounding thud.Sydney could hear it clearly through the phone, and her heart trembled along with it.'Is this guy trying to break his sternum?'"Thank you for your kindness," Sydney hurried to say, hoping to stop Hunter from pounding his chest like that.Hunter stopped as expected and turned toward his assistant, who was standing by. "We don't need such politeness between friends. Well, the connection is bad. When I come back, how about we get together for a meal?""Sure!" Sydney agreed readily.The call ended, and Sydney put down the phone.She looked at the screen with a smile and shook her head.Across from her, Sean asked, "Was it Mr. Cohen?""Yeah," Sydney nodded, saying, "He learned about the rumor online a
Chapter 1056 A Contradiction of the HeartLuke's gaze had been fixed on Sean as she left. Even after she had disappeared outside the door, he remained entranced, not looking away.Sydney patted him on the shoulder, bringing him back to his senses.He turned his head back and touched the shoulder she had patted. "What's wrong?""I was going to ask you the same thing," Sydney replied, crossing her arms and looking in the direction of the door before fixing her gaze on him. "You were staring at Sean for so long. I called out to you twice, and you didn't even respond.""Who said I was staring at her? I was just thinking about something," Luke retorted, somewhat agitated.Sydney rolled her eyes. "Fine, fine. You weren't. But let me tell you something. When you come here in the future, you can't be so mean to her. Sean is my secretary now, and it's inappropriate for you to act like this."As Sean's current boss, Sydney had to protect her.She couldn't let Luke bully her secretary."
Chapter 1057 Why Don't You Solve ItOutside the office, Sean, who was supposed to be busy working, was actually standing at the door, attentively listening to every sound within the office.Luke's words had pierced her heart like a knife, causing her eyes to instantly redden and well up with tears.It turned out he was so reluctant to see her.She couldn't believe she was such an eyesore in his mind.Sean tilted her head slightly, took a deep breath, covered her mouth and nose, and left for the Secretaries' Office.The assistant, who had just delivered the coffee, was surprised to see Sean hurrying in with her head down and teary eyes. Concerned, she quickly asked, "What's wrong?""It's nothing," Sean replied as she returned to her desk, shaking her head at the assistant. She wiped her eyes and forced a smile."But you cried." The assistant frowned.Sean took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes. "Thank you for your concern, but I'm really fine. It was just that a sad thought c
Chapter 1058 Two Childish MenSydney possessed great intelligence, making it impossible for her to overlook this matter.Julien shared the same level of intellect.However, by some stroke of fate, neither Sydney nor Julien had any intention of stepping forward to clear the air.They didn't even attempt to suppress the frenzy online that had ensued.The only plausible explanation that came to mind was that these two individuals must be plotting something.Why else would they prolong a situation like this?Julien couldn't just sit by.He loved Sydney so much that he would never see her subject to cyber abuse. Yet, he had done nothing.There were definitely underlying issues at play.Ruminating on the situation, Luke speculated that his mother had foreseen this and prevented him from stepping forward to clarify. Instead, she had instructed him to ask Sydney about it, so as not to disrupt Sydney's plans."Other plans..." Sydney murmured to herself.Luke nodded quickly and remar
Chapter 1059 You Lied to Me AgainJulien didn't forget to lift his chin with a proud expression toward Luke after Sydney finished speaking.Although he didn't say a word, his feelings were already written all over his face. 'Look, how well Leaf knows me!'Luke read Julien's face. Luke's mouth twitched a few times, and he trembled with anger.'This bastard!'The two people's small movements, naturally, were seen by Sydney.But Sydney just pretended that she didn't know it.Anyway, these two men were childish as hell whenever they got together.'Let them be.'As long as they won't fight.'"Forget it." Luke waved his hand resignedly. "Even if you lie to me, I won't be angry with you."The implication was that he didn't blame Sydney for lying to him.Sydney smiled, "Thank you, Luke."Luke waved his hand again, indicating that thanks were not necessary.Then Julien said, "Leaf, I didn't expect you to trust me so much. I'm very happy."Sydney didn't ask Julien if he believed i
Chapter 1060 Sydney's QuestioningJulien's eyes flickered for a moment, and he didn't say anything.Sydney was even more silent.The meeting room was quiet all of a sudden, and a pin drop could be heard.After a while, Luke jumped up in anger. "Well, it looks like I was really right. The person behind the trouble is your suitor. I feel that Syd suffered from all this aggression and scolding because of you, Julien. This is the second time, right? Greta and now another one. Will there be a third one next time? Huh?"He questioned loudly.Julien wrinkled his brows for a moment and then stood up. "This matter was indeed caused by me. I will give an explanation to Leaf.""Hmph, what's the use of it?" Luke sneered disdainfully. "You have so many suitors. After you handle this one, there will certainly be a new one. Why should Syd suffer all the time? If I had known such things would happen, I would never have agreed to Syd's getting back together with you. You are the bane of her life
Chapter 1061 What Will You Do?"You mean Erin?" asked Julien, raising an eyebrow.'What does it have to do with Mr. McDaniel's granddaughter?'What is Sydney up to?'"So Mr. McDaniel's granddaughter is called Erin." Sydney smiled faintly, "Quite a cute name. You still haven't answered me. What is your impression of Miss McDaniel?""I've almost forgotten her." Julien thought for a moment. All that came to mind was a childish and vague face."What?" That answer made Sydney freeze.Originally, she thought that since Julien respected Mr. McDaniel so much, he must have a deep impression of Mr. McDaniel's family.Julien's answer surprised her.Moreover, Sydney could see that Julien was not lying."How can you have forgotten her? Isn't she Mr. McDaniel's granddaughter? You must know each other well. You two are childhood sweethearts, right?" Sydney pursed her lips and looked at Julien.Julien frowned, reached out, and flicked her forehead. "I learned from Mr. McDaniel, not his gran
Chapter 1062 I Won't Even Give You the ChanceLuke said what Sydney meant, so she shut her mouth and acquiesced.Julien's hands were clenched again, his knuckles crackling.Julien stared at Sydney, saying clearly and firmly, "I'm not going to let you break up with me, and I'm not even going to give you that chance."He'd loved her for over a decade. He'd once lost her and then almost risked his life to regain her.How could Julien allow Sydney to break up with him?He wouldn't even let her think about it.Sydney saw Julien's meaning in his eyes, her heart trembling. Finally, she said, "So, you are planning to choose me rather than your teacher, right?"In front of Luke, Julien held Sydney in his arms, his big hand pressed against the back of her head. He said with a devout expression, "Yes."Although Sydney expected this, hearing Julien say this, she was surprised for a while.She gently retreated from Julien's arms, tilted her head to look at him, and replied, "Are you sure?
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
