As Sydney thought, the phone in her hand vibrated.
She hurriedly looked down and saw that Julien had sent a video.
She did not know what was in the video, but she knew that it would not be a good idea to play it now, so she looked up and said to Luke apologetically, "Luke, the work is almost done, so you can go back first. I'll treat you to dinner next time.”
"Darling, you're deliberately chasing me away." Luke gave her a side glance. "Is it because you don't want me to watch the video that Julien sent you?"
Sydney’s hand squeezing the phone tightened for a moment.
Did she act that obviously?
Forget it. Since he guessed it, there was no need to lie to him.
She rubbed her brows. "Sorry, Luke. This is a private matter between Julien and me, so..."
"So, you can't let me know?" Luke crossed his arms.
Sydney pursed her lips in acquiescence.
She did not intend to tell Luke what happened that night between Julien and her three months ago, let alone let him find out that she had been carrying Julien's child.
Otherwise, he would go to Julien to settle the score.
She did not want Luke to offend the Flint family and drag down the Chase family because of her.
Seeing Sydney remain silent, Luke sighed." Well, I didn't expect my darling to grow up and start keeping secrets from me now. It's not like in the past where you'd tell me everything..."
He pretended to be in pain and wiped the non-existent tears from the corner of his eyes.
Sydney's mouth twitched when she looked at his poor acting. However, she still felt very apologetic in her heart.
That was because she knew how unpleasant it felt to be kept in the dark.
However, she had to hide this matter from Luke.
"I'm sorry, Luke." Sydney lowered her eyes and apologized again.
Luke waved his hand and laughed. "It's fine. I don't blame you. If you don't want to tell me, that's okay. Everyone has their own secrets. You can tell me next time if you want to."
Sydney's heart flowed with warmth at his understanding, and she smiled. "Thanks, Luke."
"There's no need to thank me." Luke shrugged, then got serious again. "But Darling, no matter what happened between you and Julien, I hope you protect yourself. Don't get caught up again."
"Yeah, I will." Sydney nodded heavily.
"I'll go now." Luke put his hands in his trouser pockets and handsomely walked toward the door.
Sydney saw him off with her eyes. When he opened the door and went out, she finally withdrew her gaze and looked back at her phone. She tapped on the video.
The video soon played, and Sydney watched it carefully with her lips pursed.
After watching it, she realized that it was the surveillance video of the incident that happened between Julien and her three months ago.
When she saw the image of her drunken self bumping into Julien and molesting him, her face turned red with shame. She wanted to find a hole in the ground to burrow into.
She had always been calm in nature. Who would have thought that she would look like that when she was drunk? It was like she turned into a completely different person. How could she have taken the initiative to proposition a man?
Fortunately, she was the only one in the office now. Otherwise, she would die of embarrassment.
Shaking her head, she desperately suppressed the embarrassment in her heart. She resisted the urge to curl her toes and continued to watch the video.
When she saw the scene of Julien wrapping his arm around her waist and taking her into the room, the embarrassment was swept off her face, and her expression sank.
'Hah. It turns out that Julien likes drunk ladies!'
During the marriage, Julien had not touched her a single time. Velma had urged her to give birth to a child, so Sydney had put down her dignity and took the initiative to seduce him before.
However, how did he act?
Sydney tapped her finger on the cold hard desk, a sneer hanging from the corners of her mouth.
Julien's reaction at that time was the same as hers now. He looked at her like he was looking at a clown. His gaze was filled with mockery, and he simply walked away with a sneer, leaving her behind with a deep sense of shame and anger.
