Zach noticed Sydney's tenderness toward Julien, and he felt happy for his boss.
'Ms. Raines cares about Mr. Flint. She really loves him.
'Or else, she wouldn't have asked about it.'
"Yeah. When I told Mr. Flint about this, his reaction really scared me. If he hadn't stayed rational, I would have had reason to believe that he was going to kill Dallin." Zach sighed, running his fingers through his hair.
Sydney squeezed her hand. "If Dallin dares to threaten Julien like this, there must be someone backing him up. I wonder who it is."
"No matter who it is, I believe no one can save Dallin in the end." Zach narrowed his eyes.
Sydney smiled. "Justice will always prevail. However, we couldn't just let this matter go. Did Julien mention what he was going to do? What is the relic Dallin mentioned?"
Zach blankly shook his head. "Mr. Flint didn't say anything, but I know he must be holding something back. There is no way he will let it go. As for the relic, I don't know what it is. Dallin didn't reveal it to me. But since he used it to threaten Mr. Flint, I think it should be something personal. If it's something valuable, Mr. Flint may not really care, given the wealth owned by the Flint family. But if it's a personal belonging, it can be used against Mr. Flint."
Sydney nodded thoughtfully. "You're right. If it is a personal artifact, we have to get it back. Or else, if people with ill intentions get it, they may use it to slander Julien and his family."
"Exactly! I just don't know what Mr. Flint is thinking." Zach scratched his head, "And I don't dare ask."
"I understand. Don't worry. Leave it to me." Sydney smiled.
Zach was overjoyed. "That would be great. Thank you."
"It's alright." Sydney nodded.
Just then, a figure appeared in front of the car.
It was Julien returning.
Sydney's eyes flickered, and she hurriedly reminded Zach. "Let's stop here. Julien is back."
Zach quickly turned his head and saw Julien coming up. He flashed a grateful smile at Sydney before getting out of the car to greet his boss.
Soon, Julien got into the car.
Sydney saw the USB flash drive he held in his hand and asked with a smile, "Did you get it?"
"Yeah," Julien casually replied.
"Alright, let's go." Sydney looked at her wristwatch.
Julien nodded and instructed Zach, "Start the car."
Zach complied.
An hour later, they arrived at Skylight Corporation.
Sydney planted a kiss on Julien's cheek, got out of the car, and headed to the office building.
In the backseat of the car, Julien touched his cheek.
He was dazed because Sydney had never initiated a goodbye kiss before. It had always been him who asked for one.
This time, she kissed him on her own initiative, and he was surprised.
Zach, who witnessed everything, understood Julien's astonishment. He snickered, saying, "Congratulations, Mr. Flint, on receiving a kiss early in the morning."
Julien put his hand down and chested out. The pride on his face was undisguised. "It's just a kiss. What's there to congratulate?"
Zach rolled his eyes in response.
'Come on! Why are you smiling then? Put away that smug look.'
