"Of course, I'm a good boss." Julien lifted his chin slightly. His face was filled with complacency.
Sydney's lips twitched. "Don't you know that I'm being ironic?"
She knew that he liked to exploit Zach.
But she didn't expect him to exploit Zach extravagantly!
Besides, it seemed that Julien didn't think that he was wrong.
Julien leaned against the chair and replied with a smile, "I know it."
He wasn't stupid. Of course, he knew what she drove at.
"Then why are you so complacent?" Sydney rolled her eyes at him.
Julien smiled. "If I hadn't asked Zach to work overtime, I would have worked overtime and had less time to be with you. So I naturally asked him to work overtime. After all, he's single and has much free time."
What Julien had said was shameless, but he said so plausibly. Sydney was stuck for words. She felt angry but funny.
She sympathized with Zach.
'How can Julien exploit Zach just because Zach is single?'
Sydney supported her forehead and said resignedly, "If you hadn't squeezed Zach all the time, he would have had time to find a girlfriend and wouldn't have been single."
Julien fell silent.
'It sounds reasonable.
'But I can't admit it.
'If I admit it, it will be my fault that Zach has been single all the time.
'Thus, I mustn't admit it.'
Thinking of that, Julien covered his mouth with his hand and coughed slightly to hide his true thoughts. He replied calmly, "It's not because of me that Zach is single. It's because he is reluctant to find a girlfriend. If he is willing, he will make time to find a girlfriend no matter how busy he is."
'All in all, it has nothing to do with me.'
Of course, Sydney knew that Julien was chopping logic and was reluctant to admit it. She pulled a wry face and shook her head. "You're right. It has nothing to do with you. You're the most considerate boss. You're such a nice boss. It's impossible for you not to give your employees time to find girlfriends, right?"
Hearing that, Julien nodded shamelessly.
'That's it.'
Sydney's mouth twitched even more violently.
'He's too shameless.
'I praised him on purpose to tease him, but he accepted my praise without hesitation and didn't feel guilty at all.
'It's funny.'
Sydney rolled her eyes and said, "Alright, please don't exploit Zach too much. After all, you're still young and will work together for several decades in the future. If you squeeze him like that and prematurely age him, he won't be able to work beside you in the following several decades. Are you sure that you can find another subordinate who cooperates with you well and understands you?"
Julien moved his thin lips. After a while, he said, "Leaf."
“Yes?” Sydney tilted her head.
"You…" Julien compressed his lips and drawled. After a few seconds, he exhaled slightly and said, "It seems that you're crueler than me and exploit Zach more."
Sydney felt confused. "What do you mean? Why am I crueler than you?"
'Don't wrong me!'
