Zach's gleeful look annoyed Julien, and he snorted, "If you come disturbing me unannounced again, no amount of pleading will help."
In other words, he would let it go this time.
If there was a next time, he would send Zach abroad.
Zach was overjoyed. "Yeah, sure. It won't happen..."
He suddenly stopped halfway through his speech as he realized something.
'What did he just say? Disturbing him?
'What was he referring to?'
It was getting late, and Mr. Flint was looking at him with resentment.
Zach immediately realized what was going on.
What else would two lovers do in the middle of the night?
In other words, Mr. Flint was not angry because he had lost the game. He was frustrated by Zach's interruption, and in his anger, threatened that he would send Zach abroad.
That explained the situation.
Zach forced a smile for he had come at the wrong time.
If he had known this, he wouldn't have come over.
He sighed to himself.
"Tell me, what brings you here at such a late hour? Why didn't you call first?" Julien asked coldly.
Zach scratched his head. "I wanted to call you, but I accidentally broke my phone on my way here. That's why I had to come to see you in person."
He took out his broken phone from his pocket.
Julien saw it and pursed his lips. "Alright, just tell me what you want to say."
Since Zach was in such a hurry, it would be something important.
"There is something important, but..." Zach hesitated, looking at Sydney.
Sydney raised her eyebrows, understanding what he meant. She smiled and said, "You guys go ahead and talk. I'm going to make a call."
She quickly got up and went back to the living room.
She wasn't upset that Zach didn't want her to listen to their conversation.
It wasn't a big deal.
And even if she and Julien were together, it didn't mean she had access to everything.
After all, they were not part of the same company.
If Zach and Julien were to discuss confidential company matters, she shouldn't be there to listen.
They weren't married yet, so even if Julien didn't mind, she wouldn't feel comfortable doing that.
She felt more relaxed by walking away.
