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 boyfriend. There is no need for you to hide him inside and stop me from seeing him. Besides, he tends to be jealous. If he were inside and knew that I was here, he would come out and wouldn't be so calm. Who have you hidden inside? Have you cheated on Julien?"
She rolled her eyes. "Do you think that it's possible?"
"It's impossible." Luke shook his head immediately.
Sydney said resignedly, "Then don't talk nonsense."
Luke pointed at the lounge that was behind Sydney. "Now that you haven't hidden your lover inside or cheated on Julien, why do you not allow me to go in? Who is inside? Why can't I see him?"
Sydney put down her arms. "I won't tell you who is inside, but I can tell you that it's a girl inside. She felt unwell, so I let her rest in my lounge. Maybe she felt much better and would like to go out just now. However, when she opened the door and saw you, she was too shy to go out. After all, she's timid."
"Is that so?" Luke arched his eyebrows.
Sydney glared at him. "Of course, it is. How can it be possible that I have cheated on Julien?"
Luke laughed and said, "It's impossible. Alright, I believe you. Now that it's a girl, I shouldn't go to have a look. It's impolite."
Sydney snorted. "Of course, you shouldn't go to have a look. It's time to have lunch. Would you like to have lunch with me?"
She raised her hand and looked at her watch as she said.
She said so on purpose to send him away to let Sean have the chance to leave the lounge.
If Luke stayed in the office all the time, he would be curious about who was in the lounge, and Sean would be worried that Luke would discover her.
And Sydney was also worried about what would happen if Luke saw Sean.
Thus, it was better to take Luke away.
Hearing Sydney's words, Luke lowered his head and touched his belly subconsciously. "OK. I'm hungry indeed. Where would you like to have lunch? In the canteen or a restaurant?"
Sydney smiled and walked towards the rack to take her bag. "You're my honored guest. How can I take you to the canteen? Of course, I will take you to a restaurant outside. What would you like to eat?"
"Let's go to have fondue. It's cold today. It will taste good," Luke said as he licked the corner of his mouth.
