Sydney was stunned by what he said and only managed to react after a long time. She suddenly wanted to laugh.
It was not out of his own will?
Was he saying that someone controlled him?
Sydney did not take his words seriously and only thought that he was deliberately saying this to clear his name. She pointed at her wristwatch and changed the subject. "It's almost time for the meeting, President Flint."
Julien saw her like this and knew that she did not believe him. He sighed softly. "Let's go."
The two walked toward the conference room at the same time without saying anything.
Zach followed behind, looking at their backs, and shook his head helplessly.
Lyra had to be given credit for causing them to end up like this!
The meeting officially started.
Julien sat at the head of the table and talked about the disadvantages of using new energy. Everyone listened intently.
During this period, Sydney had been learning about new energy. She sometimes went to the university to dabble in classes.
Therefore, she was no longer lost when she listened to the contents of the meeting.
Two hours later, the meeting ended.
Julien stood up. "Sydney, stay behind. The rest of you can go."
When Sydney, who was packing her things to leave, heard those words, she paused and immediately looked at him in confusion, not understanding why he told her to stay.
The others were also curious but did not dare to ask. They only looked at the two with meaningful eyes as they left the conference room in pairs.
The moment the conference room door closed, Sydney heard someone say, "Why do you think President Flint told President Raines to stay? Are they having an affair?"
The corners of Sydney's mouth twitched.
There was something wrong with their brains.
An affair?
How could they even think of something
like that?
Sydney rubbed her temples and looked at Julien, who was walking toward her. "Why did you ask me to stay here, President Flint?"
"Nothing much." Julien stopped in front of her and dropped his gaze on her notebook on the desk. "Did you understand everything?"
Sydney followed his gaze and realized what he was referring to. She lifted her hand from the notebook. "More or less.
There are some parts I need to go back and read up on."
Otherwise, she would not understand how the new energy was utilized in the next field visit to the factory!
The other bosses would laugh at her then.
"I’ll teach you the parts you don't understand,” Julien said.
"Huh?" Sydney blinked in surprise.
There was a faint smile in Julien’s eyes. " What do you mean ’huh ? Sit down."
Sydney understood now. He told her to stay behind so he could explain to her what she did not understand.
She bit her lower lip. "I'll pass. I’ll go back and..."
"Tomorrow is the factory field trip. Are you sure you can finish researching in time if you go back? Besides, a lot of materials are old and outdated, and there are a lot of new energy research sources developed by our lab. What’s the point of you reading old materials?" Julien looked at her.
Sydney's mouth opened, but she could not say anything.
Yes, new energy had not been around for long and was improved every day.
However, research papers could not keep up with the speed that new energy was updated. Therefore, the information in her hands was different from the current new energy. It was useless if she went back and read up on the information by herself.
It seemed like she had no choice but to rely on him again.
"I understand. Thank you, President Flint." Sydney bowed to Julien.
Julien was about to tell her to get up when his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the whiteness of her neckline. His gaze suddenly darkened.
The next second, his Adam's apple bobbed and he looked away. His voice was slightly lowered as he said, "It's nothing. It's for the collaboration, so you don't need to thank me. Also, don't bow to people in those kinds of clothes in the future, especially to men."
"Huh?" Sydney first stood up straight in confusion, then looked down at her clothes.
