Sydney looked at Clay with indifferent eyes and sneered, "Mr. McDaniel, you said you came to apologize to me, but your daughter didn’t come. You didn't bring any gifts. And you were so rude to me. Are you seriously apologizing to me? You look like you're here to threaten me."
Clay's assistant nodded subconsciously.
He had reminded Clay to bring gifts before they came. 'It looks insincere to go to apologize empty-handed.'
But Clay wouldn't listen to him. He was just an assistant. There was nothing he could do.
'You should have listened to me! Ha, it serves you right!'
"Should I bring you some gifts?" Clay wasn't happy about what Sydney had just said.
He narrowed his eyes at Sydney and said in a grim voice, "You think I'm not here to apologize to you but to threaten you?"
Sydney answered with a sneer, "You say you've come to apologize to me, but your words are full of threats. Honestly, Mr. McDaniel, I don't think you came here to apologize. If you're serious about apologizing to me, you should show your sincerity. You came to apologize to me because you know Julien cut your family off, right?"
Clay clenched his fists. He didn't say a word.
But the look on his face suggested Sydney was right.
Sydney folded her legs and leaned gracefully against the couch. "Guess I was right. It's been almost forty-eight hours since we clarified the rumor, but no one in your family has apologized to me. Today you know that Julien is breaking up with your family, so you've come to apologize to me. You didn't mean to apologize to me, but you had no choice. When you talked to me, you sounded superior. You didn't bring any gifts. I don't think you came to apologize seriously. You are so proud."
Her tone was peaceful, as if she were just talking about the weather.
But the sarcasm in her words was sharp. She made Clay's dirty intentions so clear.
Clay's face looked awful. It looked really funny.
His hand gripped the arms of the couch every now and then.
He felt so humiliated. He really wanted to storm out, but he knew he hadn't achieved his goal yet.
He hated that Sydney had made his intentions so clear. He didn't think she should have made it so blunt even though she was right.
He believed Sydney should have accepted his apology and pretended she didn't know his intentions.
He was a senior to Sydney after all!
But Sydney was straight forward with his intentions, so he was pissed off.
