Chapter 608 Sydney Didn't Ask Julien to StaySydney closed her eyes and put her arms around Julien's neck.She had just been washing the teacups and had foam on her fingers.As she wrapped her arms around Julien's neck, the foam from her fingertips turned into drops of water and dripped down to Julien's back through his collar.The droplets were cold, and Julien's body was startled, but soon he relaxed again.And his kisses became more passionate, as if he was punishing her for the sudden chilly she gave him.Sydney couldn't breathe from his fervent kisses, and her face flushed. Finally, she pinched his waist and he felt the pain. Then he released her.Sydney finally broke free. She immediately got out of Julien's arms and stepped aside. She was panting slightly with her hands propped on the kitchen table.The flush on her face had not gone, and her eyes were slightly reddened. She looked very attractive.When Julien looked at Sydney, his eyes darkened. He swallowed and said
Chapter 609 Drive Her OutSure enough, after beeping the horn, Julien drove into the traffic.It was not until Sydney could not tell which one his car was that she let go of the railing and went back to the living room.The moment she stepped into the living room, the phone she was holding rang.She thought it was Julien calling, so she raised the phone to look at it, but found that the call was from the property management company in the Twinriver District.Sydney frowned suspiciously.Why was the property management company calling her at this time?Sydney pursed her red lips and answered the phone, "Hello?""Hello, Ms. Raines, sorry to disturb you at this hour," the person on the other end of the phone said.Sydney walked to the sofa and sat down. "It's okay. What's the matter?""Well, your sister came over tonight and asked me for the key, so I'm reporting it to you," the staff member answered.As soon as Sydney heard this, her face darkened. "Madeline went to the Twinri
Chapter 610 Luke's CallMadeline lashed out for a while, but the staff from the property management company did not come back, instead some passers-by cast glances at her and whispered to each other.Madeline felt humiliated. She hurriedly got up from the ground, grabbed her suitcase, and headed for the parking lot with her head down.Getting into her car, Madeline took out her cell phone and called Sydney. Her face twisted with anger.Sydney was at her apartment in Shallow Bay. She had just come out of the shower and was about to blow dry her hair.Just as Sydney got to the blow dryer, her phone rang.Sydney thought it was Julien telling her that he had arrived home. She hurriedly put down the hair dryer and went to her bed to answer the phone.However, it turned out not to be Julien but was an unfamiliar number. Sydney's bright eyes immediately dimmed.'It's not Julien.'Sydney pursed her lips and answered the phone, "Hello, Sydney is speaking.""Sydney, how could you let t
Chapter 611 Back to How They Used to Be"Given her personality, this is something that she would do. " Sydney scoffed.Luke gave her a word of advice out of concern. "Syd, the main reason Madeline returned is for Skylight Corporation. Since she failed to get her hands on the company, she won't give up. You have to be careful so that you don't fall for her schemes. ""Don't worry, Luke. I know what to do. " Sydney accepted his heartfelt concern with a smile.He nodded. "That's great. Give me a call if you need any help. " "Alright. " The smile on her face widened."I'm hanging up, " said Luke."Hold on! " Sydney interrupted.Upon hearing that, Luke brought the phone back to his ear. "Anything else? "She bit her lip as she mumbled, "Luke, do you still hold a grudge against me? ""Hold a grudge against you? " he asked in puzzlement. "About what? ""Because I rejected your feelings." Sydney lowered her eyes, a guilty look on her face.Although rejecting someone's feelings was
Chapter 612 Luke's WarningJulien entered the apartment, walked to the table, put the breakfast bag on the table, and then laid out the breakfast.After that, he turned to look at Sydney and beckoned to her. "Come and eat breakfast.""You can eat now. I'm going to fix my hair." Sydney pointed at her hair.When she changed her clothes just now, she messed up her hair. She hadn't fixed it yet.She had to fix it before she came out to meet other people. Otherwise, she would feel embarrassed."Then hurry up." Julien nodded his head.Sydney said okay and headed to her room.A few minutes later, she finished fixing her hair and came out.Julien was already sitting at the table waiting for her, and when he saw her coming, he pulled out a chair beside him and indicated her to sit there.Sydney didn't refuse him. She went over and sat down."Try the congee cooked by Erika." Julien handed her a spoon.Sydney looked at him in surprise. "Erika cooked it?""Mm." Julien nodded his head.
Chapter 613 Ask Madeline to ApologizeFor a moment, Madeline was speechless and looked very embarrassed. Sydney no longer paid attention to her and was about to press the close button. After all, she hadn't arrived at her floor yet. "Hey, what are you doing?" However, Madeline suddenly shouted and hurriedly pressed the open button from outside the elevator. Sydney frowned. "I want to go to the top floor. What do you think I am doing? Since you won't come in, of course I'll close the door. I can't waste my time because of you!" "Who said I wouldn't come in?" Madeline glared at Sydney and walked into the elevator in high heels. Sydney took a step aside and distanced herself from Madeline, indicating she didn't want to get too close to Madeline. When Madeline saw Sydney avoid herself as garbage, she was so angry that she was about to say something. At this moment, Sydney turned her head over. "Madeline, don't go anywhere after work in the afternoon. Stay in the office. I'll take y
Chapter 614 The Surprised SeanShe knew why the chairman hated Madeline so much.She heard it from Luke. Six years ago, when Skylight Corporation was on the verge of bankruptcy, Madeline and her mother didn't stick together with their former chairman. On the contrary, they stole the earnings of his shares and left. Disheartened by it, the former chairman committed suicide by jumping off the building.In a sense, Madeline and her mother indirectly caused his death. Now that the company was revitalized, Madeline came back to snatch Sydney's shares. Sydney had every reason to hate her.While Sean was lost in thought, the elevator arrived.Sydney got on it first.Outside the building, she saw in the near distance the man leaning against his Maybach.With his head low, he was typing on the screen of his phone.Soon, Sydney felt the vibration of her phone.She knew that he had sent her a text message.Next to her, Sean saw Julien and said to Sydney in surprise, "Ms. Raines, what br
Chapter 615 I Won't Leave You"Use this." Julien saw that she was embarrassed. He hurriedly took out the handkerchief he had just put in his suit pocket and handed it to her.Sydney took it and gave him a forced smile, "Thank you. I'll return a new one later."Julien wanted to say "no need", but he then thought that if she returned a new handkerchief to him, he could take it as a gift, so he nodded. "Okay."If she could make it herself, he would prefer a handkerchief made by her.Sydney didn't know what the man was thinking. After unfolding the handkerchief, she squatted and began to wipe the tombstone slowly.She wiped the picture on the tombstone very carefully and gently, afraid that if she wiped it hard, the remaining image on the picture would be damaged.Seeing this, Julien asked, "Are there any other photos in the house? If not, I'll have this photo restored and reprinted.""Yes. I can make a copy of the photos left by my mother and come over to replace it," Sydney said
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
