Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 66

Sydney did not expect talks with the relevant departments to go so smoothly. They signed the contract in less than an hour.

In order to thank Sydney for letting them use her land for free for several years, the department promised to help her build the factory and arrange for the machinery.

It was already dark when she walked out of the department.

Sydney's stomach grumbled.

When Luke heard it, he wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "Darling, how does steak sound?"

"Perfect." Sydney nodded and agreed.

"Let's go!" Luke grabbed her and speed-walked towards the car.

Half an hour later, the two of them arrived at one of the most famous western restaurants in Port City.

As soon as Sydney entered, she heard a familiar voice from behind her. "Ms. Raines and Mr. Cohen, we meet again."

The smile on Sydney’s face instantly faded.

Luke rolled his eyes. "Why is it you guys again?"

The people were none other than Julien Flint and Lyra

Madden.

Lyra smiled. "Does Mr. Cohen not want to see us?"

"Why ask questions you already know the answer to?" Luke shrugged.

Lyra's smile remained unchanged, and she did not get angry either.

Julien did not speak, but his deep and obscure gaze fell on the bandage on Sydney's head.

Having sensed his gaze, Sydney shot him a strange look before her lips curled into a smile. "President Flint, aren't you worried that your fiancee will be jealous if you look at me like that?"

When Lyra heard that, the smile on her face finally faded.

She knew that Sydney was deliberately trying to drive a wedge between Julien and her, but she could not deny that Sydney was telling the truth. Earlier, Julien had indeed been staring at Sydney.

A touch of jealousy flashed in Lyra's eyes, and she felt even more upset. However, she put a smile on her face again.

"How could you say that, Ms. Raines? Why would I be jealous? You're standing in front of us, so it's normal for Julien to look at you. Besides, Julien sees many female employees in the company as well. How could I be jealous of all of them? Don't you agree, Julien?"

Then, she took Julien’s arm.

Julien frowned as he felt her squeeze his arm but did not pull his arm away.

"Ms. Madden is really open-minded.” Sydney pretended not to see Lyra's forced smile.

Luke yawned. "Come on, darling. What’s the point of wasting your breath with them? Aren't you hungry? Let’s go to the room first."

"Sure." Sydney nodded.

Luke wrapped his arm around her waist and followed the waiter.

Julien looked at their intimate silhouette, and his eyes darkened. His lips pressed into a thin line, and an inexplicable urge to separate them overcame him.

However, he held back and lowered his eyes to cover the look in his eyes. He said to Lyra, "Let's go too."

"Okay." Lyra agreed with a smile.

On the way to the room, Luke could not help but groan. "Darling, Lyra was so obviously jealous of you, yet she still pretended she was not and even put on a fake smile. Isn't that tiring?"

"Do you get tired of eating and sleeping?" Sydney retorted.

Luke shook his head.

Sydney laughed. "Exactly. Some people’s disguises are like how we eat and sleep. It's a necessity for survival. How could she get tired of it?"

"That's true." Luke pursed his lips. Then, as if he had thought of something, he shot her a playful smile. " Darling, if we tear down Lyra's fake mask, would she-"

"Enough." Sydney elbowed him. "She’s not provoking us now, so let's not do anything superfluous."
