Sydney looked aside and did not look at him directly.
His gaze was so dangerous that her intuition told her she couldn't look at his eyes.
Otherwise, she could get caught up in it.
Seeing Sydney look away, Julien sighed and then changed the subject, "By the way, you called me this morning, didn't you?"
Hearing him mention this, Sydney nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I called you."
"Sorry, my phone was turned off this morning," Julien replied.
Sydney looked at him, "I know. I just wanted to ask you what we talked about last night. Why did we talk on the phone for more than three hundred minutes?"
"Nothing. You fell asleep at that time," Julien said.
Sydney frowned, "What do you mean? You mean I haven't talked to you since I got the call. I've been sleeping?"
"Hmm," Julien nodded, "After you got on the phone, except for a simple response when you first answered the phone, you didn't respond after that."
Now Sydney completely understood.
They didn't say anything on the phone last night and they were just sleeping.
Sydney felt somewhat embarrassed," President Flint, why don’t you hang up the phone? You actually let the phone go on?"
Julien smiled but did not answer.
He could not tell her that he did it only because he felt as if she was sleeping next to him when he listened to her breathing.
Because he knew that if he did, she might think he was a freak.
When Sydney saw that Julien just smiled but did not speak, her eyes were full of doubts, and she did not understand what he meant.
Looking at his appearance, she knew he didn't intend to say it clearly.
Sydney didn't continue to ask more but just asked him what he was calling about.
"Nothing important. I just wanted to ask you when you would be back today. I didn't expect you to be asleep when I called." Julien took a sip of water from the glass on the bedside table.
Sydney was about to say something, but at this moment, the door was knocked and Zach's voice sounded, "President Flint, I bought back the meal."
"I’ll get the door." Without waiting for Julien to respond, Sydney stood up and said first.
After all, it was her meal. If she didn't open the door to get it, was she waiting for Julien to get it?
Sydney walked over and opened the door.
Zach was not surprised to see her and handed over the bag directly, "Ms. Raines, President Flint asked me to order this for you."
Zach thought, 'President Flint has just had lunch, so it is impossible for him to eat this meal now.
Obviously, President Flint asked him to buy this meal for Ms. Raines.'
Sydney took the bag, "Zach, thank you."
"Never mind, it’s President Flint's order." Then Zach closed the door.
Sydney looked at the ward door and shrugged her shoulders helplessly.
A few days ago, Zach glared at her as soon as he saw her. Although his attitude towards her was not as bad as it was before, it became particularly indifferent.
She knew she deserved it. After all, it was her who let his boss get hurt.
Sydney lowered her head with a wry smile, turned around, and went back to the hospital bed.
Julien was looking at the tablet computer. Hearing her coming back, he looked up and said, "Sit down and eat. Then do me a favor after eating.”
"What is it?" Sydney blinked and asked.
Julien chuckled, "I'll tell you when you're done."
"All right." Sydney didn't force him and sat down to eat.
During this period, neither of them spoke, and each did his or her own thing.
Sydney was eating, while Julien was looking at the report. In the huge ward, except for the slight sound of chewing and breathing, it was particularly quiet.
About half an hour later, Sydney finished her meal, packed up the lunch box, and threw it away.
