In the past, Sydney was the one who watched him leave. He knew she was watching, yet he never once turned around and looked back.
Now, it was his turn to watch her leave.
It turned out that watching someone walk away from you without looking back was such an uncomfortable feeling.
Julien lowered his head and touched his chest. It was bitter, and there was also a dull ache.
In the car park.
Sydney and Luke came to the car.
Luke opened the car door for her. "Darling, do you think Julien Flint has a problem? Why must he drop by personally to apologize?"
"Who knows?” Sydney shrugged and got into the car. She was notably unconcerned.
Luke got into the car as well. "I really can’t figure him out."
Sydney smiled. "If you figured him out, then you'll probably be as successful as he is today. Let's go, your mum might call and rush us soon."
"I got it.” Luke nodded and started the engine.
On their way, Sydney's phone rang.
She opened her eyes and glanced at her phone. A surprised expression appeared on her face.
Luke caught it and asked, "Who is it?"
"Cay!" Sydney replied and answered the phone.
When Luke heard that it was Cayden Lowe, he pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Cay,” Sydney said happily.
Cayden's gentle voice came through. "Sydney, are you free for the next few days?"
“I am. What’s up?" Sydney asked.
Since she got the position of the main cooperation partner and seized half of the management rights from Stephen Dayton, her position in Skylight Corporation had risen. She had less work compared to before, and she could always delegate her work to others.
Of course, she could find some free time.
"My work overseas is about to end. I'm planning to come back in a few days, so I want to ask you out for a meal," Cayden said with a smile.
"Now that I look at it, you've been gone for two months. It's definitely time for you to come back. Give me a call when you reach. I can pick you up from the airport!" Sydney agreed without a second thought.
"Okay." Cayden nodded and narrowed his eyes. His voice was as gentle as ever, yet it sounded colder."
Sydney, how have you been for the past two months? Did Lyra Madden bully you?"
When he left the country, he did not have much work and paid more attention to the news in the country.
However, he soon got busier and had no more time to watch the news. He did not know if Lyra and the rest bullied his sunshine.
"I'm fine. As for Lyra..." Sydney's smile faded. "Don't worry, I'm not someone to be stepped on. I fought back on the spot itself.”
"When you say that, it means that they did bully you, didn't they?" Layden lowered his eyes and his expression turned cold.
Sydney smiled. "Hey, I told you I'm not someone to be stepped on. Don't worry. It must already be late at your side. Go take a good rest."
Layden noticed that she did not want to dwell on the matter, so he did not force her. A sinister smile appeared on his face instead. "Okay, I'll be hanging up first. See you in a few days."
"Yes, see you in a few days." Sydney nodded.
When the call ended, Luke asked, "Layden is coming back?"
"Yes. In a few days." Sydney kept her phone.
Luke cleared his throat. "Did Layden ask you if you were bullied by Lyra Madden and the rest?"
