The receptionist memorized Sydney's name so that she wouldn't drive Sydney away or annoy Julien.
The receptionist didn’t expect Sydney, the woman Julien loved, to come so soon.
I must be attentive to Sydney. If Mr. Flint is pleased, he may reward me.'
The more the receptionist thought about it, the more excited she was. She looked at Sydney with shining eyes, and her expression instantly changed as if Sydney would bring her luck.
The receptionist poured a glass of water, put it in front of Sydney, and warmly greeted Sydney. "Ms. Raines, please drink some water. I'll help you contact Mr. Flint's assistant." "Thank you." Sydney smiled and nodded.
On the way here, she had called Julien.
But Julien didn't answer the phone. Maybe he was busy.
Therefore, Sydney had no choice but to come to the front desk for help.
"You're welcome," the receptionist said and then called Zach.
On the top floor, Zach was holding a pile of documents and had just come out of the elevator when his phone rang.
He took all the documents with his left hand and picked up the phone with his right hand. "What's up?"
"Zach, Ms. Raines came to our company." The receptionist glanced at Sydney.
Zach paused. "What did you say? Ms.
Raines is here?" "Yes." The receptionist nodded.
A hint of surprise flashed across Zach's eyes.
Sydney had come here.
"What is she doing here?" Zach asked.
The receptionist replied, "Ms. Raines wants to see Mr. Flint."
Hearing this, Zach fell silent.
He felt that he had just asked a very stupid question. Who else would Sydney come here to see except for Julien?
The corners of Zach's mouth twitched.
Zach took a breath to calm down and said," I see. I'll go to Mr. Flint now and talk to him. Take good care of her and ask her to wait for a while." "Yes," the receptionist answered.
Zach put away his phone and knocked on the door of Julien's office.
"Come in.” Julien's clear and cold voice came from inside.
Zach pushed the door open. "Mr. Flint."
"Have you got the documents?" Julien, who was sitting at the table, asked without raising his head.
Zach walked over and put the documents down. "Yes. Here are all the documents."
Julien stopped writing and looked up." Okay. You can leave now."
"I still have something to say," Zach said.
Julien looked up from the documents." What is it?"
"Ms. Raines is here." Zach pushed his glasses.
Julien’s pupils shrank, and then his forehead furrowed. "What did you say? Sydney is here?"
"Yes. Ms. Raines is at the front desk on the first floor. She wants to see you. Do you want to see her?" Zach looked at Julien.
If it were in the past, Zach wouldn't ask Julien and would directly let Sydney come upstairs.
Julien must be very happy to see Sydney.
Thus, he wouldn't blame Zach.
But things had changed. Julien had decided to stay away from Sydney. He no longer wanted to pursue her.
Therefore, Zach couldn’t take Sydney here. He could only come to ask Julien.
Across the table, Julien didn’t answer. He lowered his eyes thoughtfully.
