Sydney saw that he was a little angry. She lowered her eyes and smiled faintly. "My apologies, President Flint. This is my true character. I usually have this attitude toward people who stand against me."
Against her?
Julien secretly clenched his fists.
It turned out that she still considered him an enemy.
He just did not know whether she regarded him as an enemy because of Lyra, or because of himself.
"I won't kick you out of the list of cooperation alternatives. As I said, this cooperation is fair and just, " Julien rubbed his temples and answered.
Sydney brushed her hair. "Is that so? Then I'm relieved. So, what was President Flint waiting for me for?"
"I'll take you to the hospital to see Grandma," Julien replied.
Sydney paused. That was all?
"Sorry, President Flint, but I won't go with you. I have my own car and will drive there." She quietly refused.
Julien frowned and was just about to say something when the elevator door behind her opened with a ding, and a cart was pushed out from inside.
The cart was piled with cartons so high that the person pushing the cart was not visible.
Similarly, the person pushing the cart could not see in front either and crashed toward Sydney.
"Watch out!" Julien's eyes widened and he cried out in alarm.
Sydney was confused and wondered what was happening.
The next second, she was hit hard by something behind and her body lunged forward.
In front of her just so happened to be Julien.
"Move away!" Sydney shouted at Julien with a face full of panic.
However, Julien did not seem to hear and did not dodge or evade.
If not for the expression on his face that was no different than usual, Sydney would have thought he did not move because he was scared silly.
"Urk..." Sydney slammed into Julien's arms.
Julien hugged her tightly.
She collided with him with a little too much force, causing him to stumble backward.
He took several steps backward and did not stop until his back hit the wall.
Sydney sighed in relief and hurriedly got out of
Julien's arms. "Are you okay?"
Julien shook his head slightly, his voice a little hoarse. "I'm fine."
"What's wrong with your voice?" Sydney frowned. "Did you get hurt?"
Julien's throat bobbed slightly as he did not answer. His gaze wandered elsewhere somewhat unnaturally, refusing to look at her. He secretly tried to calm his racing heart.
When Sydney saw him fall silent, she thought that he was really injured and her heart clenched. Her eyes kept trying to look at his back. "Did you bump the place you were hit by the basketball last time?"
"No, it's already healed." Julien's heartbeat returned to its normal rhythm before he turned his gaze back.
When he saw the flash of tension in Sydney's eyes, his eyes faintly brightened for a moment and his voice softened as he replied.
Was she worried about him?
It seemed like unlike what she said, she did not have completely no feelings for him.
For some reason, when Julien thought of this, his heart felt inexplicably happy.
Sydney looked at Julien again and again for a while and made sure that he really was not injured before sighing. "That's good."
In any case, he hit the wall to catch her.
If he got injured, she would not be able to live it down.
At that moment, a man in yellow overalls came over, bowing and apologizing to both of them. "I'm so, so sorry. I didn't mean to hit you. I didn't see anyone in front. Were you two hurt?"
The two people were very well dressed. It was clear that they were wealthy.
If they were injured, he would not be able to compensate them with his salary.
Sydney waved her hand. "It's fine, we're not hurt. You can go."
