Sydney nodded, picked up a fork, and put a piece of cake into her mouth.
The cake had a velvety texture and a delicate, subtle flavor.
Sydney’s eyes were crinkled. A happy expression appeared on her face.
Seeing this, Julien curved his thin lips slightly. "It seems you quite like it."
"The taste is very good." Sydney was unstinting in her praise.
Julien picked up his coffee cup. "It's good that you like it. There are some pieces left. You can take them away later." "Thank you," Sydney said as she picked up her cup and took a sip.
She liked the cake very much.
Since she had accepted one piece, she didn’t need to stand on ceremony.
After eating the cake, Sydney put the plate down, took the bag by her side, and handed it to Julien. "This is the jewelry you brought to me last time. Thank you."
"It's nothing." Julien took the bag and gave it to Zach. "Go and put it away."
"Yes, Mr. Flint." Zach nodded, took the bag, and walked towards the lounge.
There was a safe in the lounge.
Sydney glanced at Zach's back. "Don't you guys check it? Aren't you afraid that I've switched the jewelry?" "No. I'm sure you haven't." Julien drank his coffee. "And even if you switched it, I won't complain."
He gazed seriously and affectionately at her.
Sydney's heart trembled as she lowered her eyes.
Seeing this, Julien let out a soft sigh.
Although she didn't resist his pursuit anymore, she was still somewhat resistant to his passion for her.
When would she discover that she had fallen in love with him?
He would like to make everything clear to her, but he was worried that it would backfire.
As he was thinking, Sydney's phone suddenly rang.
Sydney took out her phone from her bag and looked at it, seeing that it was Sean calling her. She smiled at Julien apologetically. "I have to take a call."
"Okay." Julien nodded.
Sydney pressed the green button with her index finger and put the phone to her ear," Hello."
"Ms. Raines, I've investigated the license plate," Sean said.
Sydney sat upright. "What have you found? Who is the owner of the license plate? Is there anything suspicious?"
The owner of the license plate?
Julien's ears twitched as he put down his coffee cup and looked at her.
He thought, 'What is going on?' 'Is something wrong?’ "The owner is an ordinary local person who has been using this license plate for several years. There is nothing suspicious," Sean answered as she looked at her findings.
Hearing this, Sydney nodded. "I see."
Putting down her phone, she exhaled softly and finally calmed down.
The car that she saw in the morning belonged to an ordinary person.
It seemed that the car wasn't following her and Luke at that time.
Now, she could finally rest assured.
Seeing Sydney's relieved look, Julien slightly narrowed his eyes and asked with concern, "Did something happen?" "It's just a small matter and has been solved." Sydney smiled faintly.
Julien raised his chin. "That's good. If there is something big, you can tell me. I’ll deal with it."
"Okay." Sydney nodded.
But Julien could see how perfunctory her promise was.
"Well, it's getting late. I'm leaving. I have to go to the construction site at three o'clock." Sydney raised her hand, looked at her wristwatch, and stood up.
The factory had been under construction for several months, and she hadn't been there once.
Before she came, the construction team called Sean and said that the factory was finished and asked them to go over to inspect it.
If there was anything they were unsatisfied with, it could be modified directly.
So she intended to go over there to have a look.
