Chapter 831

The meeting lasted around one and a half hours. Leaders of the city, officials overseeing key industries, and executives of the finance industry were gathered in the meeting room.After the meeting ended, Christopher stood around the hall chatting with some people."Mr. Jackson, do you want to join us for lunch?"Christopher saw Sydney approaching him from a distance, and said, "You guys go ahead first."After a while, Sydney stood before Christopher with a bag in her arms.Christopher surveyed her from head to toe."Why do you look so listless? Did you not rest well?"He noticed her looking distracted during the meeting.Sydney shot him a weak smile. "I slept a little later last night. Mr. Jackson, I learned a lot from what you shared at the meeting just now."At the very least, he didn't just spout politically correct clichés.Many leaders seem to say much, but in fact say nothing at all. They are usually unable to articulate themselves without a script.Christopher was a

Sydney smiled politely."I wouldn't say 'pressured', but I do feel a little nervous."Sydney had the experience of having dinner with leaders of major companies and even of the city.Christopher somehow felt different from them all.She could tell at one glance what kind of people the rest of them were, and even see through their preferences and such.However, she couldn't figure Christopher Jackson out. Each time she looked into his eyes, she would feel slightly nervous, as though he was capable of melting her into a puddle anytime.Having lived through half her life, Sydney wasn't a naive young lady who thought that Christopher had feelings for her. Yet, in the depths of her heart, she could sense something wrong with the look in his eyes."Why do you feel nervous? Do you think I'll be fierce to you, or raise some unreasonable request?" Christopher asked. He spoke calmly and politely, with a graceful poise befitting of a true gentleman.Sydney said, "Mr. Jackson, I naturall

Christopher nodded. "Go ahead."Sydney walked out of the private room with her phone in hand, and received the call. She said with slight frustration, "What is it again?""You left your necklace behind at my place. Where are you? I'll send it to you." Geoffrey's tender voice sounded through the phone.Sydney's grip tightened over her phone. After a long pause, she finally said, "What exactly must I do for you to let me go?"Geoffrey had been threatening her as of late.When he previously forced her into bed with him, he had filmed the entire process.Sydney was initially resistant, but as time went by, she became numb to it and eventually gave up resisting him.Geoffrey cut out the part of the video where she didn't resist him, and just that clip alone made it seem as though Sydney went along with it willingly. Then, he threatened to show the Spencers the video.Geoffrey was a madman who wasn't afraid of sacrificing himself for the sake of getting what he wanted.Sydney, on th

The lunch went on pretty smoothly, despite Sydney's nerves at the start.Christopher, on the other hand, remained rather open-minded.Sydney slowly got infected by his mood; they started chatting about many things, ranging from finance-related issues to personal preferences. They even shared anecdotes about interesting and strange things they encountered.The two of them got along pretty well.Many times during their conversation, Sydney was tickled pink by Christopher.Each time Sydney laughed, Christopher would look at her with a tender and deep look in his eyes. Yet, he always managed to compose himself right before Sydney noticed it.They continued chatting long after their meal was over.The clock struck two in the afternoon before they realized it.Sydney glanced at her watch. "Mr. Jackson, we've been here for so long. I'm sorry for holding you back from your appointments."Christopher smiled. "Not at all. Am I holding you back from anything?"Sydney smiled politely. "O

Sydney's mind went blank.Her eyes widened in shock as she stared at the man's face right before her.His eyes were shut, as if he was enjoying the moment.Sydney's body stiffened, and she couldn't move an inch. She didn't even have the energy to push him away.Somehow, she found her entire body soft and limp. Suddenly, she felt a strong force push her against the wall.Christopher started kissing her harder.His large hands pressed against her shoulders, and slowly roamed downwards. He wrapped an arm around her waist, holding his other arm against her back while slowly inching downward.Sydney's knees went weak, and she almost lost her balance. She was pinned to the wall, allowing him to drag her along for the ride.He hugged her tight in his arms, stopping her from collapsing on the floor.As the kiss deepened to the point of almost losing control, Sydney's mind buzzed as she felt all energy being sucked out of her. She felt as though she was no longer herself.Just then, s

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jackson. Perhaps I wasn't thinking right. I just thought that…"She didn't know what to say. She just felt as though she were in a fantasy."There's no need to apologize. I should be the one doing that instead," Christopher said with a sigh. "I thought there was something between us, but I might have made a mistake. I was a fool.""No," Sydney exclaimed.A glint flashed past the depths of Christopher's eyes, but a look of despondence overtook him. "No? Do you mean that we…"Sydney spoke too soon, realizing that she might have fallen into his trap. He was a scheming man, after all."Mr. Jackson, I meant that it's very normal for people to overthink things. It has nothing to do with you being foolish."Her instincts warned her against getting too close to this man."Mr. Jackson, I have something to attend to and need to go. See you."Sydney then turned to leave."Is that goodbye?" Christopher asked, looking at her retreating figure. "Or do you really mean that w

"Really? Quick, call her," Rebecca urged gladly.Sydney's brows furrowed as she said, "Theo, are you really going to call Rose right now? She's very busy."The solemn look on his mother's face made it seem as though the sky would fall on their heads if he really called Rosalie.Instead of saying something, Theodore let Rebecca go and pulled out his phone from his pocket. He left the scene, and walked toward the door of the villa.Sydney hurried out after him and saw him scrolling through his contacts.Sydney said, "Theo, are you really going to call Rose?"If he called her out of the blue, all her efforts would go down the drain.Things would go back to what they were in the past, with the two of them entangled with each other and in pain."Are you afraid of me calling Rose?" Theo said. "No, that's not what I meant," Sydney explained. "I just don't want to see you hurting.""It's none of your business. It's my own business whether I'm hurting or not. I'm an adult, not a chil

Chapter 838

The moment Aurora walked in, everyone's gaze landed on her.Shock registered on Sydney's face when she saw the familiar-looking face. Wesley looked as shocked as Sydney was.However, they both knew that Aurora merely looked like Rosalie, and wasn't really Rosalie.Rebecca was taking a nap on the couch.Theodore walked over, bent forward, and said, "Grandma, Rose is here."The mention of Rosalie's nickname made Rebecca immediately look up, only to see an achingly familiar face.Rebecca was stunned for a moment, then a look of doubt flashed past her eyes. She could sense that something was off.Everyone quieted down.Did Rebecca suddenly become alert? "Grandma, didn't you ask to see Rose? Look, Rose is here," Theodore spoke up again."Oh, Rose. You're all grown up," Rebecca said as she stretched a hand out. "Let me look at you."Aurora felt a little nervous as she glanced at Theodore. Theodore nodded back at her, and shot her a reassuring look.Aurora mustered up the courage

Aurora stood up. "Mr. Spencer, your grandmother has gone to rest.""I'll make a move too," Theodore said as he approached her. "Thank you so much for today. Apologies if I held you back from your plans."Aurora said with a smile, "I didn't have much on today, anyway. I'm glad I was able to help you."Theodore said, "Let me send you back."Aurora didn't want to trouble him any further, but she also wanted to spend time alone with him, so she nodded. "Alright, thank you."The two of them were about to leave when a voice stopped them."Theo. Ms. Payne."Sydney approached them.Theodore stopped in his tracks, and turned around. Sydney stopped right in front of them and shot them a smile, her gaze landing on Aurora."Hello, Ms. Payne. It's my first time meeting you today."Aurora greeted politely, "Hello, Mrs. Harper. You're so beautiful and young."She meant her words, having been blown away by Sydney's beauty the moment she saw her. Sydney looked to be only slightly over 30 yea

A black car drove steadily on the road.Theodore sat on the driver's seat, his hands firmly on the steering wheel as he kept his eyes on the road ahead.Aurora sat in the front passenger seat, her seat belt buckled in. Her hands gripped uneasily over the belt as her heart raced.She felt very nervous being in the same car as Theodore.It was perhaps nerves from liking the man that made her so tense. She was worried over even the slightest movement that might make her look awkward and embarrass herself before him.The silence in the air started feeling awkward. Aurora finally spoke up, breaking the silence."Your mother is really beautiful and your father is handsome, too. They look like a match made in heaven."Theodore said indifferently, "They just look like it."Aurora found Theodore's words strange.Did his parents not have a good relationship, too? Why did she get strange vibes from his entire family?She opened her mouth, wanting to ask further, but Theodore beat her to
