Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 556

Sydney watched the person's back and cocked her head in confusion.

'This person is so strange! Not only her behavior but also her hatred for me is strange!'

If she hates me because she bumped into me, she's too narrow-minded!'

'But if it's not because of that, why does she hate me?'

Just as Sydney was frowning and pondering it, her phone suddenly started buzzing.

Sydney gathered her thoughts and took her phone out. It was a message from Sean about the factory renovation.

Sydney replied, "We'll talk about it when I get back." She then put her phone away and hailed a cab to go back to the villa.

Back at the villa, Sydney paused in the foyer.

She was about to change her shoes.

Suddenly, she muttered, "This is..."

Sydney was surprised to see a pair of men's slippers under the steps of the foyer.

The toes of the slippers were toward the door, which meant that the man her friend had arranged to stay in the villa had come and that he was now out.

Sydney frowned. She felt uncomfortable.

She had never lived in the same house with a strange man before. She didn't know what kind of person that guy was, whether he was a good person, or whether he was easy to get along with.

Sydney rubbed her brows. She felt a headache.

'Forget about it! Don't bother with him.'

'Whether he’s a good guy or a bad guy, I'll stay away from him.'

'I won't see him again in the future.'

Sydney let out a long breath at that thought. Changing into slippers, she went into the living room.

An hour later, she changed into a dress, put on her makeup, and went out again with a delicate clutch bag.

She was going to a friend's engagement party. The banquet was at her resort.

When Sydney arrived there, it was already

9:00 pm.

The engagement ceremony would officially start at 10:00 pm, so she was not late.

Once inside the hall, Sydney took a hangover pill out of her bag and swallowed it. Then she took a glass of wine and stood in the corner quietly surveying the people at the party.

She was looking for a man who was a tycoon in the machinery industry, which was the real reason she came to the party.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come at all.

Sydney and the woman who was to get engaged tonight used to be classmates, but they hadn't been in touch for years.

It was not necessary for Sydney to accept the invitation.

Sydney took a sip of wine and then kept her eyes on the entrance to the banquet hall.

She didn’t see the tycoon in the hall, so the man shouldn’t have arrived yet.

She had to keep an eye on the entrance so she wouldn't miss him.

However, after a while, the tycoon did not appear, but a familiar tall figure appeared.

It was Julien!

Sydney's hand shook, and she nearly spilled the wine in her glass. Her mouth dropped open in surprise.

'What's he doing here?'

Sydney immediately put down her glass and walked toward Julien.

Soon she came up behind him and called out, "Julien!"

Hearing Sydney's voice, Julien curled his lips. Then he turned around. Seeing the surprised expression in her eyes, Julien had a smile in his eyes.

Although he expected Sydney to be surprised to see him here, he was glad when he saw it with his own eyes.

"We meet again." Julien said gently.
