"What?” Sydney was stunned.
What did she do wrong?
The old lady laughed. "It’s normal for couples to fight, but don't take it too seriously. I think this guy is really sincere with his apology! He even bought you breakfast, so just forgive him. Nowadays, not a lot of guys will try to make their girlfriends happy. You have to value him or you might regret it for the rest of your life."
"No, I..."
The elevator reached with a ding.
The old lady patted Sydney’s shoulder and interrupted her. "Girl, think about what I said just now.”
After saying that, she looked toward Julien. "Boy, don’t make your girlfriend angry next time. Fate brought you both together, so you must value her."
"I'll remember your words, thank you.” Julien nodded in gratitude.
He did not value Sydney in the past, but he would put her first in the future.
When the old lady heard that, she took the old man's arm and walked out of the elevator happily.
They were still a few floors away from Sydney's car and stayed in the elevator.
She gripped her hair and said in irritation, “ What just happened? Julien Flint, why are you so cheeky? The old lady mistook us as a couple, and you admit it?"
Julien pressed the closed button of the elevator. "I just didn't want them to feel awkward.”
"What?" Sydney glared at him. "You have your ulterior motives!”
Julien raised his eyebrow and acquiesced.
Sydney rubbed her eyebrows and calmed down. "I'll let you off this time, but Julien Flint, if you do this again, I will not let you off so easily!"
She gave him a cold glance.
Julien felt a sharp pain in his heart and lowered his eyes to cover the sadness within. "Alright. Breakfast..."
"No!" Sydney said with indifference and walked out of the elevator. She headed to her car without looking at Julien again.
Julien followed her with breakfast.
Sydney heard footsteps behind her, but she did not bother. She took out her car keys from her bag, opened the car door, and left.
Julien remained where he was as he looked at her driving away. He pursed his lips.
Not far away from them, Zach saw the entire scene and shook his head with a sigh.
President Flint still had a long way to go.
Skylight Corporation.
Sydney was in the middle of looking through some documents when Sophie knocked on the door and came in." President Raines, someone from Morgan Enterprise came.”
"Morgan Enterprise?" Sydney raised her eyebrow.
Sophie nodded. “Yes. The chairman of Morgan Enterprise came."
"It must be because of Kate Morgan." Sydney mockingly smiled.
"Yes. They want to apologize to you for what Kate Morgan did," Sophie replied.
Sydney sneered. "They are planning to apologize with just words. This apology isn't sincere, just like the last time."
The last time, Mrs. Morgan stopped Sydney at the entrance of the court and apologized to her. She also requested for Sydney to let Kate go. However, she had no sense of remorse at all.
It was not at all a sincere apology.
It was the same for Chairman Morgan.
Sydney sighed. Chairman Morgan and his wife were indeed a couple, and even their way of apology was the same. Perhaps Mrs. Morgan knew that Sydney would not
forgive Kate, so she asked Chairman Morgan to come instead.
"Darling, are there a lot of reporters at your side?" Luke's anxious voice came through.
Sydney's uneasiness resurfaced once again.
She tightened her grip on the phone and nodded. "Yes. I think there were at least twenty of them. Luke, what happened? Do you know something?"
Luke said angrily, “Lyra Madden released a statement on her social media half an hour ago, saying that you planned her incident. This triggered the reporters and they came running to you."
"What?” Sydney's expression changed. “ Lyra said that?"
“Yes. She's really infuriating! I regretted not killing her back then. F*ck! I've never seen such a shameless woman!" Luke scolded.
After two seconds, he took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "Darling, don't leave the office. I don’t think the reporters will let you go that easily."
"I know." Sydney nodded with a solemn expression.
Luke replied, "That's good, then. I can’t let you be alone in Skylight. I'll come over in a bit."
After saying that, he wanted to hang up.
Sydney stopped him. "Don't. Don't come. You’re still my boyfriend in everyone's eyes. If you come, the reporters will question you for sure. Some of them might have even gone to your side."
"President Chase!" Just as Sydney said that, someone else from Luke’s side called for him.
Luke said something to the person and returned to the phone call after ten seconds or so. “Darling, you're right. A lot of reporters came to my side too." "I'm sorry, Luke. I dragged you into this mess,” Sydney said apologetically.
Luke smiled. "Don’t worry, this isn’t your fault. I need to sort them out.”
"Go ahead." Sydney nodded.
After the call ended, Sydney picked up Sophie's call once more. "Sophie, go to the lobby and take a look. Bring a few security with you and stop the reporters. Make sure to stop them from heading upstairs."
Sydney put down the phone and rubbed her eyebrows in irritation.
As Luke said, Lyra was really shameless. She created trouble for her the moment she woke up.
