Sydney closed the door and walked to her desk, "I didn’t expect you to come over so early."
"I have some business to take care of this afternoon, so I have to go to the hospital early." Julien stood up and replied.
Sydney nodded, "Why didn't you tell me before you came?"
"I wanted to surprise you." Julien smiled at her.
Sydney rolled her eyes. "I'm sorry, but it wasn’t a good surprise." "Really?" Julien's eyes dimmed. "I thought you'd be happy to see me." "OK. stop it." Sydney knew well that Julien was faking a disappointed face. He tried to get her to admit that she was happy to see him.
However, Julien wouldn't stop it. He was determined he wouldn't stop it until Sydney was honest with him.
He looked at Sydney with a sullen look, and the corners of Sydney's mouth twitched. She was amused.
'All right! Forget about it!'
Sydney rubbed her temples and said softly," Okay! I admit I'm happy to see you. All right?"
The disappointed look on Julien’s face immediately disappeared. He regained his composure and nodded, "OK."
Sydney shook her head. "You win." Julien laughed lightly. Then something came to his mind, and he asked, "You just finished a meeting. Have you had lunch?"
"No." Sydney put her laptop on the desk and walked to the water dispenser. "How about you?"
"Me neither. I came to have lunch with you. " Julien replied.
Sydney brought two glasses of water. She handed one to Julien. "OK. I’ll ask Sean to bring us lunch. What do you want to have?"
"I don’t know. I like everything you like." Julien replied.
Sydney threw a glance at him. She didn't ask him again. Then she picked up the phone and called Sean. She told Sean some dishes.
Julien’s thick eyebrows raised slightly when he heard the names of the dishes.
Those were all his favorite foods.
"Send it to my office. Remember, bring two sets of cutlery." After telling Sean what she wanted, Sydney hung up the phone.
Suddenly, Julien reached out, wrapped his arm around her waist, and clutched her up to him.
Sydney was caught off guard. Her body fell backwards, and she then fell into his lap. She was taken aback. "Julien, what are you doing?"
"Sydney," Julien said, resting his chin on her shoulder. In a soft voice, he whispered,
"You’re so good to me. Those are all my favorites."
Sydney turned her head to look at Julien." Well, you're the guest! Of course. I'll order what you like."
The guest?'
Julien looked up at her with sharp eyes. " Aren't I your family?"
Sydney smiled at him, "You're not yet!"
"I will be sooner or later." Julien hugged her tighter and said with a flourish, "So I'm right. I'm your family. I'm just speaking of it a bit ahead of time."
"I'm not sure." Sydney removed his hand and got up from his lap. "Who knows what the future holds? Maybe we'll break up again soon."
Immediately, Julien's face went gloomy. The air around him cooled.
