She couldn't believe the couple she shipped displayed their affection right in front of her.
Mr. Flint was so gentle towards Ms. Raines, while he was so cold toward her.
As everyone said online, he was indifferent to others and gentle only to one person.
Men like Mr. Flint could easily capture girls' hearts and give them a sense of security.
Girls didn't really like those overly gentle guys. That kind of man was likely to become two-timers.
The girl held her face, giggling at Sydney and Julien.
Her fervent gaze was hard to ignore.
Sydney and Julien exchanged a glance and saw helplessness and amusement in each other's eyes.
Julien turned off the phone and gave it back to the girl. "Sorry, I took your phone. Here you are."
The girl vacantly took the phone and shyly responded, "It's... okay."
"You scared her." Sydney chuckled, patting his arm.
Julien frowned. "I didn't."
He hadn't done anything, not even glaring at the girl.
She had wronged him.
Julien pursed his lips and looked at Sydney with a somewhat aggrieved expression.
The girl quickly waved her hand and said, "Ms. Raines, you misunderstood. Mr. Flint didn't scare me. I was just scared of him. It's not his fault."
"Scared of me?" Julien further furrowed his brows. "Why? I didn't do anything to you."
The girl cringed and lowered her head.
Sydney chuckled and explained, "You don't have to do anything. You are scary enough simply by standing there."
"No way!" Julien was not happy about her comments.
Sydney looked at him with a playful smile and said, "Is that so? Look at your cold face and sharp eyes. When people see you, they automatically assume you're giving them a lecture."
'That's right!' the girl echoed in her mind.
Julien lowered his gaze, falling into self-doubt.
'Am I really so stern?'
"I'll try to change it," Julien murmured.
Sydney was about to say it was fine, but the girl beat her to say, "It's okay, Mr. Flint. You don't have to change. It's a merit that you're cold to others and gentle only to Ms. Raines. The others may fear you, but as long as she doesn't, it's fine. Am I right, Ms. Raines?"
The girl looked at Sydney eagerly, waiting for her compliment.
Sydney smiled and gave her a thumbs-up.
Delighted by Sydney's approval, the girl smiled with her eyes curved.
Julien chimed in, "Well said, and you did a good job in your online counterattack."
The girl had never thought that Julien would praise her.
After the initial surprise, she was filled with excitement.
'Oh My God! Mr. Flint praised me too.
'I can brag about this for a whole year!'
Sydney was amused by the girl's excited look and shook her head. "Is it so exciting?"
"Yeah." The girl beamed, explaining, "I just came to buy snacks. I usually don't come out. You know, I'm a typical homebody. It's a stroke of luck that I ran across you guys in the supermarket and saw you guys love each other so much. I am blessed to witness your affection and receive your compliments. I have every reason to be excited."
