“Are you new?” Lyra looked at the front desk lady in disdain. The lady shook her head. “Of course, not.” “If you’re not, then why are you stopping me? Don’t you know who I am?” Lyra pointed at herself. She was Julien’s fiancée and the future wife of Flint Corporation President. How dare this front desk lady stop her? Faced with Lyra’s questioning, the front desk lady was placed in a difficult position. She tried her best to maintain her smile and said apologetically, “Ms.Madden, I know who you are, but I really can’t let you up. This is the direct order from President Flint.” “Julien ordered this?” Lyra was stunned and clenched her fists. She then asked in a cold voice, “What did he say?” “President Flint ordered that Ms.Madden has to come with an appointment from now on. Without an appointment, you cannot head upstairs. If you don’t believe me, you can contact President Flint yourself.” After saying that, the front desk lady bowed and walked toward the elevator, nota
Instead of answering, Julien asked, "Are you at the Flint Corporation now?" "I'm at the lobby." Lyra nodded. Julien rubbed his eyebrows. "I see. Just wait for me there. We can talk when I come back from the meeting." After speaking, he hung up the phone directly. Lyra stomped her foot, visibly enraged. This was the first time Julien hung up on her. When Julien returned to the conference room, everyone who was initially whispering instantly shut themselves up and said nothing. Julie's eyes darkened, and when he noted the mockery in Sydney's eyes, he realized that these people were most likely talking about him. He pursed his lips and said, "Let's carry on." The meeting lasted for more than an hour before it finally came to an end. The crowd then began to disperse. Sydney remained until she was the last to walk out, as usual. When she reached the floor, Julien stopped her. "Wait a minute." "President Flint, are you calling me?" Sydney asked. Julien handed a docu
Lyra's heart sank. She suddenly noticed that she had overreacted, and it aroused Julien's suspicion. She clenched her fist and quickly adjusted herself. She then shook her head and replied, "No, I'm not afraid. Just worried." "What are you worried about?" Julien looked at her.Lyra made a melancholic expression. "I'm worried that the doctor might lock me up. Based on some TV series that I've watched, the doctors will always lock people with dissociative personality disorders up in an institute. Julien, will I also end up like that? Will you lock me up?" She tugged on Julien's sleeve. Julien's doubts vanished in an instant. He touched her head gently. "No. All the TV series are fake. The psychiatrist will help you." "Really?" Lyra looked at him with some worry left in her eyes. Julien nodded. "Really. Don't worry." "Since you say that, then I don't have anything to worry about anymore. Julien, I need to use the washroom." Lyra let go of Julien's sleeve and smiled reassuring
It was surprising that the Trison Corporation decided to look for the necklace when Sydney just got hold of it. Moreover, the statement specifically looked for a girl with a special necklace. In other words, the Maddens wanted to look for the girl and not the necklace. "Find out why the Maddens want to look for a girl with the special necklace," Julian said with his hand on the armrest. The Maddens were looking for Sydney. Just that the Maddens did not know it yet. "Yes." Zach nodded. Julien lowered his head and took out his phone. After a short moment of hesitation, he made a call. Skylight Corporation. Sydney was in the middle of making edits on a difficult document. Just as she finally got an idea, her phone rang and interrupted her train of thoughts. Sydney picked up the phone and placed it next to her ear without looking at the caller ID. "Yes?" Julien was silent when he heard the impatience in Sydney's voice. She did not even like picking up his call? "If y
Sophie answered Sydney, "President Dayton and Director Williams aren’t here yet." "Okay." Sydney nodded. After a short while, the door of the conference room opened and Stephen Dayton walked in with Director Williams. Sydney met Stephen's eyes. "President Dayton, you’re late." Stephen nonchalantly pulled a chair and sat down. "Something came up. You’re not angry with me, are you?" Sydney smiled. "Of course, not." She knew that Stephen was late on purpose. He wanted to show his authority to her. Sydney decided to just let him be for now since the news she was going to announce would probably get him upset later. "Since everyone is here, then we’ll start the meeting now. The last time…" Before Sydney could finish her sentence, Stephen interrupted her. "Today is the day Flint Corporation announced their final decision on the main cooperation partner. Tell us about the results." "Exactly, Vice President Raines. Tell us, did you get it?" another senior director on Stephe
Julien narrowed his eyes. As expected…"Do you know how Brandon Madden found out that his eldest daughter might still be alive?" Julien asked Zach. Zach pushed on his glasses. "Yes. Mrs. Madden visited the Downtown Jewelry Shop and the manager mentioned that a girl came by with a mother-daughter necklace. Mrs. Madden made the assumption that the girl could be her eldest daughter." So, that was what happened. Sydney told him before that she went to the Downtown Jewelry Shop to ask about the necklace. Mrs. Madden had long been wearing jewelry from the Downtown Jewelry Shop. Due to her status, the manager of the shop would always personally attend to her. When the manager saw a similar necklace on Mrs. Madden, she told her about Sydney, who came to the shop and asked about the necklace as well. However, the manager did not tell Mrs. Madden who the girl was and naturally did not mention Sydney's name. Therefore, Mrs. Madden did not know that the one who had her daughter's neck
When Hunter saw that Sydney took the flowers, he let out a breath of relief. He then laughed nonchalantly and said, “Other girls can never compare to you. Since we’re partners now, I have to put in some effort to maintain our relationship. Flowers are a must.” Sydney smiled. “You do know how to sweet talk. The flowers are beautiful, thank you.”She looked at the white roses in her arms. Hunter pulled a chair and sat down. “I’m glad you like them.” “What are you ordering?” Sydney put down the flowers and handed him the menu. Hunter took the menu and ordered a Blue Mountain Coffee. Sydney ordered a glass of milk. Very quickly, the waiter delivered their drinks. Hunter looked at the milk in Sydney’s hands and thought about her pregnancy. He hesitated before asking, “How are you?” “Huh?” Sydney looked at him. “What are you talking about?” “Your pregnancy. I heard that the initial period is the hardest. Are you having a hard time?” Hunter asked. Sydney could tell that
When Sydney heard his questioning, her face hardened and she stared at him coldly. “President Flint, what does this have to do with you? Who are you to me? Why do you care?” “She’s right, Julien. You care too much.” Hunter looked at Julien with a half-smile. Julien pursed his lips. “Hunter, don’t you know that she has a boyfriend?” “I know.” Hunter shrugged. Julien narrowed his eyes. “You know and you still…” “Who said that we must be dating when we hang out?” Hunter shrugged and looked at Lyra condescendingly. “Oh right. You said it.” “I said it, but Mr. Cohen admitted it as well.” Lyra tightened her arms around Julien’s. Hunter smiled. “I admit it, but a date can have many types. Who said that Sydney and I must be dating like you both are? Can’t we just be on a date to discuss some matters?” Lyra choked on her words. “What about the flowers? Why would you have flowers if you’re just here to discuss some matters?” “What’s wrong with the flowers? They aren’t red roses
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
