Julien walked over and sat next to Sydney. He extended his arm around her waist and landed a kiss on her cheek. "It's done."
"Did you smoke?" Sydney smelled tobacco on him. She frowned and reached up to push his face aside.
Julien froze. Then he lowered his head and sniffed himself, "Is the smell strong?"
"No, but I can smell it." Sydney shook her head.
Actually, the tobacco on Julien was pleasant.
But Sydney didn't like cigarettes, so she didn't like the smell.
"Why did you smoke?" Sydney asked as she poured ground coffee into the coffee pot, "Is something wrong? Are you in a bad mood? The phone call took you a long time."
Julien picked up a glass of water and took a sip. "Nothing. It's settled."
"Okay." Sydney nodded, not asking about it. She put the cap on the alcohol lamp to put out the fire. Then she poured two cups of coffee.
She handed one cup to Julien. "It’s Blue Mountain coffee, the original flavor you like to drink. Taste it! It's the first time I've made coffee. I hope it's not bad."
Julien picked up his cup of coffee. The coffee has a strong aroma. Julien took a sniff of it and curled the corners of his mouth. "It smells good. I bet it tastes good. And you made it yourself. Even if it's not good, I'll drink it all."
Sydney rolled her eyes at him, "Why do you sound so slippery?"
"I mean it. I'm not lying." Julien said seriously.
Sydney shook her head with a smile, "Okay. Taste it."
Sydney then put milk and sugar in her cup of coffee.
Julien liked black coffee, while Sydney liked to put milk and sugar in her coffee. She thought black coffee was too bitter.
"How long did you talk to Hunter?" Julien suddenly asked, putting down his coffee.
He stared at Sydney as if he was questioning her.
Sydney raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why? Are you jealous?"
"I'd be jealous if you talked to him for too long." Julien didn't hide his jealousy. "You know Hunter is into you."
Sydney smiled as she stirred her coffee with a spoon, "We talked for two minutes. Are you happy?"
‘Two minutes?'
Julien showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, "That's good."
Sydney touched her forehead awkwardly.
Just then, Sean came in. "Ms. Raines, Mr. Flint, it's lunch time. What would you guys like to eat? I'll make a call and have it delivered."
Sydney turned to Julien to ask his opinion. He was the guest after all. She gave him the opportunity to order the meal.
However, Julien shook his head, "I'll eat whatever you want."
Sean smiled, "Ms. Raines, Mr. Flint loves you so much. He lets you choose."
Sydney blushed. "Nonsense."
"Am I right, Mr. Flint?" said Sean, looking over at Julien.
Julien put down his coffee. He lifted his chin slightly and gave Sean an approving look. "You're right. She's my girlfriend. Of course, I love her! Her happiness is of the highest priority to me. I’m fine with anything."
Then Julien looked at Sydney, affection in his eyes.
Sydney blushed even more, and even the tips of her ears were red, which made her look stunning.
If Sean wasn't here, Julien would like to kiss her on the lips.
Thinking about it, Julien cast a cold glance at Sean.
‘I wish she was gone!'
