Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 1057

Outside the office, Sean, who was supposed to be busy working, was actually standing at the door, attentively listening to every sound within the office.

Luke's words had pierced her heart like a knife, causing her eyes to instantly redden and well up with tears.

It turned out he was so reluctant to see her.

She couldn't believe she was such an eyesore in his mind.

Sean tilted her head slightly, took a deep breath, covered her mouth and nose, and left for the Secretaries' Office.

The assistant, who had just delivered the coffee, was surprised to see Sean hurrying in with her head down and teary eyes. Concerned, she quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Sean replied as she returned to her desk, shaking her head at the assistant. She wiped her eyes and forced a smile.

"But you cried." The assistant frowned.

Sean took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes. "Thank you for your concern, but I'm really fine. It was just that a sad thought crossed my mind, and it momentarily affected me. I'm alright."

She put her glasses back on and smiled.

The assistant noticed that Sean seemed less sad than when she had initially entered the office, which eased her worries. She nodded and said, "That's good. I'll get back to work then. Just so you know, if you ever face any difficulties, please let us know. We'll do everything we can to help."

Sean nodded, feeling touched. "Thank you. I will."

In the neighboring President's Office, Sydney and Luke were unaware that Sean had overheard their previous conversation and left feeling sorrowful.

At this moment, Sydney gazed silently at the man across the desk.

Luke had been drinking his coffee with his head down ever since he finished speaking.

The coffee was scalding hot and bitter, but he had almost finished it in one go.

"Alright, alright," Sydney hurriedly intervened as she saw the coffee nearing the bottom of the cup. She stopped the man who was about to tilt his head and finish it all. "Don't drink it all at once. It will burn your throat."

Luke halted.

He had to stop because Sydney had grabbed his wrist.

Observing Luke release his grip on the coffee cup, Sydney quickly pushed the cup aside and sighed. "Honestly, ever since you arrived here and saw Sean, you've changed completely."

"How so?" Luke frowned, reluctant to admit it.

Sydney shook her head helplessly. "Alright, never mind. Let's get down to business. You mentioned earlier that you came here regarding the online matter?"

As soon as the topic shifted to business, Luke immediately turned serious, as if his previous demeanor had been nothing but an illusion.

"Yeah." Luke's face darkened as he spoke. "Damn! I never expected that a simple business discussion would end up being captured by paparazzi and spread as baseless gossip. It truly infuriates me."

"Yeah," Sydney concurred, nodding her head.

Luke pounded his fist on the table. "That lousy tabloid is just despicable! How dare they publish something like this? Aren't they afraid of Julien seeking revenge?"

Unbeknownst to Luke, this incident was actually premeditated by someone.

He believed it was merely the media's ploy for attention, putting everything out there.

"They have no fear." Sydney elegantly crossed her legs, a sneering smile playing on her lips. "If they were afraid, they wouldn't have dared to do it."

Luke fell silent. "You're right. I can't help but admire their audacity. They don't even care about the consequences, all for the sake of traffic. It's truly outrageous."

Little did he know that there was a conspiracy behind this.

Sydney's lips parted as she was going to tell him everything.
