Hearing Sydney's words, Clay condescendingly looked at the cup in front of him.
Looking at the coffee in the coffee cup, Clay frowned. "What kind of coffee is this?"
Sydney also crossed her legs and smiled elegantly, "Don't worry, Mr. McDaniel. What I am entertaining you with is naturally not any expensive coffee. It's just ordinary coffee."
Clay's face changed greatly. "You entertain me with ordinary coffee? Is this how Skylight treats guests?"
Sydney picked up her coffee cup, took a sip, and said indifferently, "It can't be helped. Skylight is just a small company. I can't afford to change the decoration from twenty years ago, so Mr. McDaniel, do you think I have any good coffee for you? I'm kind enough to serve you ordinary coffee. Just drink it. After all, I treat you as a guest. Otherwise, I would just serve you water."
She emphasized the words "the decoration from twenty years ago".
Although Clay's ability to do business was average, he wasn't a fool. He knew when Sydney had just gone out, the receptionist had told her what he had said in the elevator.
So she took the opportunity to get back at him. She purposely served him this kind of coffee to embarrass him.
It really pissed Clay off.
"Water?" Clay narrowed his eyes dangerously at Sydney. "You're Julien's woman, aren't you? You've been with him for so long. I don't believe you didn't ask for any benefits from him. Or Julien doesn't like you at all. He's not even willing to give you good coffee, so Skylight can only serve this kind of cheap coffee."
Facing Clay's counterattack, Sydney was not annoyed. Her smile was still bright. "Mr. McDaniel, you are really belittling me. Of course, Julien gave me a lot of things, naturally including expensive coffee, but I don't want to serve it to you. It's only for the guests who I respect, not for you, who came to visit in such an arrogant manner. So you are only worthy of some ordinary coffee. You say Julien does not like me. That is more of a joke. If he didn't like me, how would he have cut ties with you and your family for what happened yesterday? Right?"
"You..." Clay was so enraged by Sydney's words that his face turned livid, and he couldn't even speak.
She was undoubtedly saying that the McDaniel family didn't deserve to drink good coffee and that they were only worthy of this garbage.
Not only that, she was bragging to him that Julien had chosen her rather than the McDaniel family.
'That's just...'
For a moment, Clay's chest heaved violently with anger, and he couldn't even find the right words to accuse Sydney.
Seeing him so angry, Sydney frowned, afraid that something would happen to him in her company. She hurriedly put down her cup of coffee and said coolly, "Well, Mr. McDaniel, I was just kidding. Please forgive me. You know young people like to joke. You are not that petty, are you?"
She looked at him with a smile.
Clay was furious.
What could he say?
He couldn't say yes.
He couldn't admit that he was petty.
But if he said no, he couldn't swallow his anger.
Besides, what Sydney had just said was not a joke at all.
That was clearly a provocation and flaunting.
Seeing Clay trembling all over, Sydney sighed in her heart.
'This person is actually a boss. He is so easy to provoke.
'He can't even compare to me, a newcomer in the business world.'
Sydney had some contempt in her eyes as she continued, "Well, Mr. McDaniel, let's put other things aside for now and get down to business. If I remember correctly, I didn't have any interactions with you and your family. What brings you here? "
