If it were the case, she could dream on.
He had rejected her, so no matter what means she resorted to, he would not let her succeed, not even if she threatened him with the child in her womb.
Luke hated this kind of person the most.
He couldn't help but see Sean's pregnancy as a conspiracy.
What else could explain her pregnancy at such a time?
He had no choice but to suspect that she hadn't taken contraceptives and that she had lied to him to slacken his vigilance and buy time to get pregnant with his seed.
Then she could come to him and make him take responsibility.
That should be the case.
The more Luke thought about it, the more he believed that was the truth. Even though he knew that Sean had made an appointment for an abortion, he did not change his mind.
There must have been something wrong with the child, so she had to choose an abortion.
Otherwise, an ambitious woman like her wouldn't have done this.
In any case, he decided to teach the liar a lesson.
Before this, he had never been fooled by a woman like this. He was determined to get back at her.
"Sean!" Luke stared ahead, as if that woman were standing right there on the road. He gritted his teeth and muttered her name. His voice was filled with anger, hatred, and urgency that he was not aware of.
Perhaps only he knew what he was anxious about himself.
Sydney knew nothing about that.
After seeing Luke off, she continued to immerse herself in the monotonous work.
It wasn't until the afternoon when Julien called that she put down her pen, stretched herself, and relaxed. With a smile on her face, she answered the phone. "Hello?"
Her voice was soft, with a tinge of tiredness.
In the car, Julien noticed it and asked with a frown, "Swamped with work?"
"Not too much. Why do you ask?" Sydney smiled, curling up in her chair.
Julien parked the car by the road in front of the office building of Skylight Corporation and looked up at a certain window on the top floor.
It was where Sydney's office was.
"You sound tired," Julien said.
Sydney smiled. "So that's why. Well, I am indeed a bit tired. The documents are piling up, and considering that I've only been in this business for just a few months, the task is a bit challenging. There are still many things I don't know. When I encounter jargon, I have to look it up in dictionaries. If I casually sign them without knowing their meanings, it may give rise to grave problems. Even for those I understand but have no hands-on experience, I have to make phone calls and confirm with the employees before I can handle a document with peace of mind. As a result, after a day of work, I'm feeling dizzy. It's both physical and mental fatigue."
"It's normal since you haven't received systematic training on how to manage a company. And since you're temporarily taking up this position, you can only learn through trial and error. There is no way you can learn everything." Julien placed his hand on the window sill, lightly tapping it with his fingers.
Sydney nodded. "Yeah, but as a beginner, I haven't made any mistakes in handling so many documents. It proves my business talent, doesn't it?"
"Yeah!" Julien concurred without hesitation.
Sydney was delighted and laughed.
Hearing her hearty laughter, Julien curled his lips. "But you can't continue like this. Learning through work is too slow. If you don't have professional knowledge, you won't be able to keep up with the development of Skylight Corporation."
