Thinking that Luke had also invited her to attend the party, Sydney couldn’t help putting on a bitter smile.
This was ridiculous.
She was glad that she had refused his invitation; otherwise, Julien might think that she appeared in front of him on purpose when seeing her tomorrow.
She wouldn't give Julien a chance to look down on her.
However, she somehow felt uncomfortable at the thought that Julien chose Anna as his plus one.
She sat on the chair and held the mouse to click on the homepage of Anna's social account.
Looking at those luxurious bags, cars, shoes, cosmetics, etc. posted by Anna, she frowned slightly.
Anna spared no effort to show off her wealth on the Internet just like a nouveau riche.
In short, such a woman was not suitable for Julien.
They had wide discrepancies in appearance, family background and upbringing.
They could never be a perfect match!
If Julien really married Anna, she would doubt his taste in women.
"President Raines!" Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
Sydney was startled. She quickly turned off the web page and then looked at Sean at the door. A nervous smile appeared on her face. "What... what's the matter?"
Damn it! Why did she look so guilty?
She just checked Anna's social account, and there was no need to be so guilty.
Sean also didn't understand what Sydney was panicking about, and she didn't think much about it. She put her hand down from the door handle and said, "President Dayton's assistant asked me to come and tell you to go to the office for a meeting."
"OK, I’m going now." Sydney nodded in agreement.
Sean turned to leave.
Sydney cleared up her desk, picked up her laptop and walked towards the door.
The meeting lasted for two hours.
No sooner had she returned to her office than she received a phone call from Luke.
"Darling, I really can't find a plus one. Can I invite Sean?" Luke asked.
Sydney looked up at Sean, who was sitting opposite her desk and sorting out documents, and she said with a smile, "It's okay. After all, she used to be your secretary, and you asked her to come and help me. I'll ask her opinion."
Hearing Sydney mention her name, Sean stopped her movements and looked up." President Raines, is President Chase on the phone?”
Sydney smiled. "It's him. He's going to attend a dinner party tomorrow, and he's looking for a plus one. He asked if you have interest in accompanying him to the party.”
Me?" Sean pointed to her nose with a surprised expression.
Sydney nodded. "Yes."
"No, I can't!” Sean, as if taken aback, suddenly stood up and waved her hands, indicating that she was not suitable.
How could she be Luke’s plus one?
Normally speaking, it was either a girlfriend or a close friend who could be a man's plus one at the party.
She was neither Luke's girlfriend nor his close friend, so it was impossible for her to be his plus one.
"Why not?" Sydney looked at Sean in confusion.
"I..I.." Sean faltered. She looked down and nervously clutched her old-fashioned black A-line skirt.
She was embarrassed to say that if she became Luke's plus one, she would be more greedy for him.
Sydney didn’t know what was on Sean's mind. Thinking that she was just nervous as an inexperienced plus one, she smiled and comforted her, "It's okay. You just need to accompany Luke to dinner and meet some big shots. Don't be afraid."
"Why don't you go?" Sean suddenly looked at her and asked, "You are the one he wants to invite, right?"
Sydney smiled and directly told her the truth, "I can't go because Julien will be there tomorrow."
Heard this, Sean suddenly fell silent.
No wonder Sydney refused to attend this party. It turned out that Julien was also there.
It was really embarrassing for the two of
them to appear at the same place.
