Chapter 996 The Flamboyant LukeSydney took the agenda. When she was about to read it, there was a knock on the door.While opening the folder of the agenda, she spoke, "Please come in."The door was pushed open. An assistant stood at the door, one hand holding a blue folder and the other holding the doorknob. The assistant said, "Ms. Raines, Mr. Chase has come, and he wants to meet you.""Huh? Luke has come here?" Sydney became confused.‘Why does Luke come now?’"Ms. Raines..." Sean, who was standing opposite Sydney’s desk, suddenly got flustered.Hearing Sean call her, Sydney looked at her. Sydney knew why Sean became flustered and signaled her to calm down. "Sean, don't be nervous. Don't worry. I know what you plan to say. Go to my lounge and have a rest," Sydney uttered while pointing at her lounge opposite.Sean squeezed her hands and immediately gave a thankful smile. Then she turned around and walked quickly into the lounge.At the sight of Sean’s back, Sydney sighed s
Chapter 997 Do It MyselfSydney pressed her glabella, slightly closed her eyes, and said, "I naturally thought of this, so I don't want to mortgage this building.""That's good." Luke nodded and got worried again. "Then what are you going to mortgage?"Sydney opened her eyes and answered slowly, "The Raines family's villa."Luke was slightly stunned. "You're going to...""Yeah." Sydney nodded."But that villa was left behind by your mom. Can you bear to do so?" Luke looked at her.Sydney tucked her hair behind her ear. "Honestly, at first I couldn't, but now I think it's okay. That villa was indeed left behind by my mom and was filled with the memories of my formative years, but some disgusting guys also lived there."As she said that, her eyes narrowed with a hint of hatred.Luke captured it and understood what Sydney meant, sighing with pity, "Madeline and Kaylie.""Yes." Sydney gripped the pen. "That villa was originally the coziest home for me and my parents, but in the e
Chapter 998 Julien Is UnhappyZach knew that every time Julien made a puzzling move, it was for Sydney.However, Zach always forgot that and foolishly asked Julien the reason.As a result, Zach had to watch Julien display affection.Zach couldn't stand it.'It seems that in the future, I should remember not to ask such questions, or I will suffer mental damage.'After all, I'm still single. What if they make me too depressed to find a girlfriend?'Then, when the time comes, I will be miserable.'Thinking of this, Zach rubbed his cheeks, suppressed his anger, managed to maintain his usual smile, and asked, "Mr. Flint, how should we deal with that old guy?"Julien opened the door and walked out. It was a vast parking lot.Julien's eyes locked on to a car not far away. He walked over with long legs while saying, "Continue to lock him up. He'll be useful later.""OK," Zach respectfully answered.Julien pulled open the door and got into the car. Zach hurried around the front of
Chapter 999 Someone Is PeepingWhen Julien was lost in thought, Zach drove the car and asked suddenly, "Mr. Flint, it has been three days since it happened. Has Ms. Raines come up with a solution?"Julien frowned.'Has she come up with a solution?'I guess that she has come up with a solution.'After all, during the past three days, I haven't seen any anxiety or worries on her face. I'm sure that it isn't because she is good at acting.'It's quite possible that she has come up with a solution, so she's able to get along with me as usual. Otherwise, she would have given herself away, and I would have noticed it.'Thus, she has come up with a solution.'But is the solution really workable?'Seeing that Julien kept silent, Zach didn't feel surprised. He turned the steering wheel and added, "I guess that Ms. Raines hasn't come up with a solution. As far as I know, the components are crucial to Skylight Corporation. If they fail to find them back, the result will be extraordinarily
Chapter 1000 Where Is Sean?When Sydney heard that Luke wanted to go to see who was in the lounge, her expression changed immediately. She raised her voice to refuse. "No!"In the lounge, Sean stood behind the door anxiously. She clutched the doorknob tightly with both hands and was ready to resist.Thus, if Luke came here and pushed the door, Sean would be able to press the door and stop him from coming in.At the same time, Sean prayed that Sydney would stop Luke successfully.After Sydney refused Luke, Luke's gaze became more suspicious. "Syd, you don't want me to see who is inside. Is it because you have hidden your lover inside?"Sydney felt ridiculous. "My lover? Don't talk nonsense! Am I that kind of person?""Then why do you not allow me to have a look?" Luke rolled his eyes."It's none of your business. Anyway, you can't go there." Sydney blocked him with open arms.He crossed his arms over his chest. "You look nervous. Is Julien inside? No, it's illogical. He's your
Chapter 1001 Julien's Idea"..." After hearing the secretaries and assistants’ answer, Luke was silent.Then he understood.The person who was hidden by Sydney in the lounge and was watching him there was Sean.No wonder Sydney had stopped him from going to the lounge. She didn't want him to see Sean."Mr. Chase? Mr. Chase?" The secretaries and assistants in the office called out to Luke as they saw him standing in the doorway, in a trance.Luke's eyes blinked. He snapped back to his senses. "What's wrong?"The secretaries and assistants replied, "Nothing. We saw you wandering off, so we were worried about you.""I'm fine." Luke rubbed his brow. "All right. Go on with your work."Then he exited the office and closed the door behind him. He leaned against the office door and looked upward at the ceiling. He was deep in thought.He knew why Sean was hiding in the lounge.He had told her he didn't want to see her again, and he guessed that was why she had gone into hiding when
Chapter 1002 Waiting for Dalin at the DoorJulien wanted to make Luke aware that he knew Sydney had gone to dinner with Luke.Julien didn't want Luke to be secretly happy about having dinner with Sydney behind his back.Zach had worked with Julien for years, so Zach could tell what Julien was thinking from the look in his eyes.The corners of Zach's mouth twitched.'Does Mr. Flint really need to do this?'He just said he didn't mind Ms. Raines having dinner with Mr. Chase as he was a generous man. But now he's about to remind Mr. Chase that he's Ms. Raines' boyfriend. He was lying.'Seeing the look in Zach's eyes in the rearview mirror, Julien frowned and demanded, "What does that look in your eyes mean?"Zach realized that Julien had seen right through him. He immediately let out an awkward cough and explained, "Nothing, Mr. Flint, I wasn't looking at you. I was thinking about something else.""Huh." Julien snorted, "You think I'd believe that?"Zach lowered his head at once and fell
Chapter 1003 They Finally Met"That's where he comes in handy," Julien commented on Hunter.Zach pushed his glasses up. "Mr. Cohen will probably get cross if he knows that you belittle him.""Am I afraid of him?" Julien narrowed his eyes.Zach quickly waved his hand. "No, no, no. Mr. Flint, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean that.""If not, shut up," Julien ordered with a frown.Zach shrugged his shoulders, performed an act of zipping his mouth, and stopped talking.In the suite, Neil moved swiftly to the audio-visual room. Without knocking on the door, he pushed it open and entered.The audio-visual room was dark. Only the screen was shining where a musical was playing.It was a black-and-white musical movie filmed in the last century, and its frightening sound came from the acoustics, making the entire audio-visual room a scary place.Dallin, in a long traditional suit, sat on the single sofa right opposite the screen and watched the musical. He shook his head and fingers
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
