"No!" Julien's forehead pressed against hers, and he looked at her seriously, "You trust me from the bottom of your heart, but I need you to say it to me. Otherwise, I can't rest my mind at ease. You have to promise me."
Met with his adamancy, Sydney had to agree, "Okay, I believe you, alright?"
Julien smiled with satisfaction.
Sydney found it both funny and annoying. She pinched his face and said, "You're acting like a child."
"I'm like this only in front of you." Julien chested out.
Sydney was amused. "You look proud."
"Why not?" Julien lighted his chin, "I take it as your compliment."
Sydney shook her head. "I'm not complimenting, but you can think it that way."
"Thank you." Julien picked up his coffee and had a sip.
Then he remembered something and added, "By the way, you've had the factory assemble the first batch of goods after the machines were shipped over from Kingthene, right?"
Sydney hummed, "Yeah, the final goods are quite good."
"Have you found a distributor yet?" Julien asked again.
Sydney nodded, "You bet. I contacted the dealers before the machines arrived. I'm no longer that inexperienced girl when I just took over Skylight Corporation. Now I usually get things ready beforehand and avoid chaos."
"Not bad." Julien complimented her with a smile.
Sydney smiled in return.
"What's the name of the dealer?" Julien put down his coffee and looked at her.
Sydney replied, "Owlimited."
Julien nodded slightly. "That's a century-old dealer with a great reputation. You made a good choice."
Sydney smiled, "It's not me but my dad who made a good choice. When he was at the helm of Skylight Corporation, he frequently worked with the president of Owlimited, who is a friend of our family. Their cooperation went quite well."
Julien hummed and said, "Owlimited has recently opened a new large shopping mall, and they plan to cut the ribbon at the end of the month. Have you received an invitation yet?"
If not, he would take her there.
He heard that Owlimited had invited a bunch of technical experts in heavy industries. He could introduce her to them.
The main business of Skylight Corporation was in heavy industries. Once the company was relisted, reform would be necessary.
By then, they would need to consult experts on reform issues.
Sydney didn't know that Julien was planning everything for her. When she heard his question, she went to her desk, opened the drawer, and took out a purple invitation letter. "Check out this."
Julien raised his eyebrows. "Turns out you've been invited. Nice!"
Sydney put the invitation letter back. "I received it yesterday. I planned to tell you, but forgot. If you hadn't brought it up, I wouldn't have remembered."
"We'll go together." Julien looked at her and proposed, "You'll be my companion."
Sydney came back to him. "Sure."
Since they had established their relationship, she had no reason to refuse.
"That's a deal. I'll come and pick you up."
"Okay." Sydney nodded.
Julien left after lunch.
He had planned to stay till she got off work and go back to Shallow Bay with her.
During lunch, Zack called and told him there were some company affairs for him to handle.
He had to go.
Before leaving, he dawdled and looked reluctant.
If she hadn't urged him to go, he might have chosen to stay.
