The two of them looked at each other for a moment, and Hunter waved at her. "Hey there, Ms. Raines.”
"You told Sharon that your family is poor and you had to work three jobs a day?" Sydney laughed and looked at him in disdain. "It's a shame you're not in showbiz. You'd win a Best Actor award.”
Hunter shrugged. "She mistook me for a car mechanic when I went to a car repair shop before. I didn't know she was from your company. I just joked with her, but she unexpectedly believed me and called me to drive for you.”
Sydney rolled her eyes. "Did you eye Sharon because she looks simple and gullible?"
"Don't slander me. She's the one who talks to me first every time," Hunter said with an Tm-just-too-popular-with-the-ladies’ expression on his face. "She probably wants to get off with me.
Sydney thought about it. It seemed like it was Sharon who wanted to approach Hunter.
"Where to, Ms. Raines?” Hunter turned back to put on his seatbelt. "It's my first time driving someone, and I'm driving in a shabby car like this. You're so lucky."
After the car started, he cursed Julien a few more times. "The handling is horrible. This car is trash. How can Julien do this? He drives a Maybach but doesn’t even give you a luxury car after the divorce."
"Why didn't you call me back regarding what I asked you before?" Sydney calmly changed the topic.
She was afraid that she would not be able to resist kicking Hunter out of the car if he continued babbling.
Hunter did not reply immediately. His gaze turned odd and he glanced at Sydney from the rearview mirror.
After talking to Sydney that day, he asked Julien if he had arranged for a waiter to set up the scene, but Julien had just called him a lunatic. Then, he realized that Sydney's guess might be true and had someone go to the dorms to call the waiter over for questioning.
However, the person came back and told him that the waiter went out that night and never came back to the club.
Hunter sent people to look for him but was unable to find him even now.
"There's nothing wrong with the waiter and nothing wrong with the water. Why should I call you back?" Hunter said lazily. "I watched the surveillance that night. You were still staggering when you came out of the washroom. You just got black-out drunk. You’re overthinking."
Hunter laughed and teased, "You were quite bold that night, Ms. Raines. Was that Julien's first time seeing you like that too?”
Sydney felt embarrassed listening to him and was uncomfortable all over.
She was worried that Hunter would try to meddle. In the end, this guy used his status as the boss to watch the surveillance!
"If there's nothing wrong with the water, then forget it. Go to Port City Middle School. I’m tired so I'll rest a while. Call me when we arrive." Sydney finished speaking and pretended to sleep, ignoring him.
At the same time, in Madden Corporation.
Brandon Madden had just received the news that Sydney's company Skylight was going to buy SweetHeart, and she was looking for traces of SweetHeart's boss.
He never expected Sydney to become so capable in such a short period.
"So what if she's capable? Skylight will fall!” Brandon sneered and sent a message to the people outside.
This time, he would make Skylight fall so hard that it would never get back up!
He could not wait to get rid of Skylight and use that victory to pay tribute to his deceased eldest daughter.
Brandon had just given the order when the computer on his desk suddenly flashed wildly. Just as he was about to turn it off, the computer went back to normal and launched a video window.
The lighting in the video was very good, and Brandon saw a dying man lying on the ground. The man wore the uniform of Club Lunaris and was lying in a pool of his own blood.
Brandon’s eyes suddenly widened.
He had been trying and failing to contact that person. Why was that man in the video?
The waiter lying on the ground moaned. His breath was weak and he was obviously in pain. Soon, a tall man in a fox mask entered the frame.
