"You..."
The faces of Stephen and the others turned red in anger for what Sydney had said, but they could do nothing.
After all, what Sydney had said was true. She was the biggest shareholder. Although she was just the vice-president, she had more privileges than them.
No matter how disgruntled they were, they had to bear it.
Sydney looked at the sullen Stephen and sneered in her heart.
'How dare you make things difficult for me? Who do you think you are?'
She looked away and glanced at Luke who sat not far away.
He lowered his head. She couldn’t see his expression.
But she could feel that he was absentminded. She sighed and pulled out the chair. "Alright, let’s start the meeting.’’
"OK." The others nodded and opened the documents in front.
The meeting lasted for two hours and was finally over.
Stephen left with his men first.
On the contrary, Sydney sat on the chair motionlessly. It seemed that she didn't plan to pack up her things and leave at all.
She leaned back against the chair and fixed her eyes on Luke.
Luke was packing up his things. After that, he stood up and was about to leave.
Sydney stopped him. "Luke, wait."
He stopped, turned to look at her and asked flattly, 'What's the matter?" It was rare for him. After all, he had always looked at her with a smile.
He kept his words and didn't call her " darling" anymore.
If it were in the past, he would say "darling" first when he talked to her.
She stood up. "Would you like to have a talk with me?"
He looked at her and asked, "What would you like to talk about?"
She didn't answer his question but glanced at the gossipy people who were still in the meeting room and wanted to eavesdrop. They noticed her gaze, lowered their heads awkwardly and quickened their paces to leave.
Soon, only Sydney and Luke were left in the large meeting room.
Sydney looked at him. Do you still mind what happened last night?"
He opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
He still minded what had happened last night indeed.
It was because he knew that she wouldn’t choose him and was angry about her attitude.
Even though she wouldn't choose him, they had been friends for more than twenty years.
But she asked him not to call her "darling" anymore just because of Julien.
Of course, Luke minded it in his heart.
Sydney looked at the upset Luke and sighed, "I'm sorry that I was thoughtless last night and said so to you, but I don't think I was wrong. You have feelings for me, right?”
He widened his eyes and looked at her in surprise. "How... do you know that?"
He had loved her for more than ten years. She had been in his heart since he knew the love between lovers.
He had the impulse to express his feelings to her umpteen times, but he failed every time because he lacked the courage.
