When Julien heard that Sydney had brought him the soup that she had cooked for him, his eyes sparkled immediately. He was so happy.
But soon, Julien extinguished his joy. He squeezed his phone tightly.
He couldn’t take her soup!
He had decided to stay away from Sydney and not see her again, so he couldn’t take her soup.
If he accepted her soup, Sydney wouldn't understand he was keeping away from her, and she would continue to send soup later.
Could he turn her down every time?
Julien was sure he couldn't The woman he loved cooked soup for him herself. No man could be so cold-hearted and turn her down over and over again.
By then, his efforts to stay away from Sydney would be in vain.
So no matter what, he couldn't take her soup.
He had no choice but to cut her off from the beginning. Otherwise, it would be harder for him to leave her.
Then Julien closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.
After a few moments, when he opened his eyes again, his eyes showed nothing but determination.
Julien then picked up the telephone and called Zach's office.
Zach was busy working. Hearing the phone ring, he put down his pen and answered the phone, "Mr. Flint."
"Sydney brought me soup and left it at the front desk. Take it back to her. And tell her not to bother again, and that I will never take it."
Then Julien hung up the phone.
Zach was holding the phone in his hand and looking at the pile of urgent papers in front of him. The corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
'Looks like I'm going to be working late again tonight.'
Zach put down the phone and patted his face with a bitter smile to refresh himself. Then he stood up and left the office.
About an hour later, Zach arrived at
Skylight Corporation with a thermos.
Sydney was in a meeting. Sean knocked on the door to the conference room and came in. "Ms. Raines."
"What's up?" Sydney asked. She waved her hand slightly to signal to the others for the meeting to pause for a moment.
Sean glanced around the room and then walked over to Sydney. She leaned close to Sydney's ear and whispered, "Zach's here."
"What's he doing here?" Sydney raised an eyebrow.
Sean shook his head, "I'm not sure. But according to the employee at the front desk, Zach's carrying a thermos."
Sydney curled the corners of her lips slightly and smiled.
She guessed it was Julien who had asked
Zach to return the thermos.
"Take him to my office and tell him to wait for me for a few minutes. I'll be done soon." Sydney said, looking at her laptop.
Sean nodded and turned to go out.
Sydney collected herself and got serious again. She turned back to the others and demanded, "Okay. Let's continue."
A serious atmosphere returned to the meeting room once again.
After about ten minutes, the meeting ended.
Sydney closed her laptop and quickly headed out of the room.
Getting back to the door of her office, Sydney pushed the door open and entered. Zach immediately stood up and greeted her with a respectful smile, "Ms. Raines." "Nice to see you, Zach," Sydney nodded slightly and walked towards her desk.
As she entered her office, she saw the thermos on her desk. She was about to ask Zach what he came for.
But Zach spoke before her, "Ms. Raines, this is the soup you prepared for Mr. Flint. He asked me to bring it back to you."
When Sydney heard Zach's words, her face stiffened.
'What does it mean that Julien asked him to bring it back to me?'
