Julien’s back hit the sofa, and he looked extremely dissatisfied.
He wasn't displeased with Sydney but rather with the person who rang the doorbell so late.
Sydney pretended not to see the dissatisfaction on his face and hurriedly sat up from the sofa, tidying up her messy hair and clothes.
"Someone just rang the doorbell. Did you hear it?" she asked him.
Julien was also adjusting his clothes at this moment. Compared to her nervousness and panic, he remained calm and composed.
Even if someone had arrived, he didn’t lose his composure in the slightest.
He patted his sleeve, crossed his legs, and calmly replied, "I heard it. Why are you so flustered about having an expected visitor?"
Observing Sydney as she stood up and adjusted her pants, Julien continued with a smile, "Moreover, this is our domain. As hosts, we shouldn't be so anxious when someone arrives. Otherwise, others might assume that we have done something improper at someone else's place."
This statement left Sydney stunned, and she blinked in confusion.
Indeed, this place belonged to her.
Whatever she and Julien did here was reasonable and justified.
So why should she panic and become flustered just because someone arrived?
Seeing her reaction, unfamiliar onlookers might genuinely assume that she and Julien were engaged in inappropriate activities in someone else's place.
Sydney let out a sigh and couldn't help but smile wryly. "I overreacted, but it was simply a subconscious response. You see, we were in the midst of an intimate moment when someone unexpectedly arrived. It's only natural to have a strong reaction in such a situation. After all, I am afraid of being discovered."
Julien chuckled.
"Alright, I will go open the door," Sydney said as she casually adjusted her hair near her ear and began walking towards the entrance.
Julien stood up and grabbed her wrist. "I'll go with you."
He was curious to see who would disturb them at such a late hour.
He hoped that person had a valid reason for doing so, otherwise...
Julien narrowed his eyes, and a hint of cold and dangerous light flashed in them.
As Zach stood outside the door, he inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine.
Unable to control it, he shivered and rubbed his arms.
Suddenly, the door swung open, revealing Sydney and Julien standing at the entrance.
Upon seeing them, Zach released his arm and stood up straight. "Mr. Flint, Ms. Raines, good evening."
"Zach?" Sydney recognized the person outside the door and couldn't help but look surprised.
Julien's eyebrows furrowed. "What brings you here?" he asked sternly.
"I..." Zach was about to answer, but Julien's expression had turned extremely cold. "You better have something important. Otherwise, pack your things tomorrow and go to Aldoria for an inspection."
"What?" Zach was completely taken aback, and his glasses almost slid down from his nose.
‘What is going on? Why did Mr. Flint assign me to the most desolate place in the world for inspection?’ he wondered.
Zach stood frozen outside the door, wearing a bewildered expression. He was completely at a loss.
Sydney covered her mouth and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
This laughter snapped Zach back to reality, and he looked at Julien with a wry smile. "Mr. Flint, did I do something wrong? Why would you suddenly send me to Aldoria?"
Julien's lips tightened. "Do I need to provide a reason? If I give you an order, you are expected to comply without question. Enough with the unnecessary chatter."
"But..." Zach hesitated.
"Alright, Julien." Sydney grabbed Julien’s arm and smiled. "Don't scare Zach."
She knew why Julien had arranged for Zach to go to Aldoria.
He must have been angry that Zach interrupted him just when he was about to make out with her, so he deliberately retaliated against Zach by sending him to Aldoria.
