Sydney and Julien both looked up as Hunter walked over, spinning a car key on his finger.
Julien's eyes narrowed. He looked at Hunter and then at the woman beside him, furrowing his brows.
Why did she ask Hunter to pick her up?
Since when did their relationship become so close?
Hunter was also a little surprised to see Julien. " Julien, why are you here? You’re sitting with President Raines too. Are you two on a date?"
He pointed at the two playfully.
Sydney put the ice pack to the side and rolled her eyes at him. "What nonsense are you talking about? I came here to talk about business and met President Flint by chance.”
"Is that so?" Hunter rubbed his chin with an expression of disbelief.
Julien did not say anything but did not deny it either.
Hunter believed it when he saw Julien’s expression and pouted his lips in slight disappointment. Then, he saw Sydney's swollen ankle and was stunned." President Raines, what happened to your foot?"
"Sprained it." Sydney put her shoes back on and understated it.
Hunter tutted twice. "This sprain is quite serious. It must've hurt the bone as well."
"That's why your next task is to send me to the hospital." Sydney looked at him.
Hunter acted as a loyal subordinate. "Sir, yes, sir!"
Sydney played along with his theatrics and held out her hand to him. "Then, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and help me up."
"Aye, sir!"
Hunter stepped forward and helped Sydney up from the sofa.
Julien's expression sank. He watched the two’s interaction with cold eyes and his thin lips slowly pursed.
Julien's aura was cold enough to freeze people especially when Hunter put a hand around Sydney’s waist.
However, neither Sydney nor Hunter noticed Julien's abnormality.
Sydney's sprained foot could not touch the ground at all as it hurt to the touch. How could she be in the mood to pay attention to anything else?
Hunter held her seriously lest she fell, so he did not pay attention to other stuff either.
The two of them did not even say goodbye and simply walked out the hotel door.
Julien's eyes darkened as he watched them leave. His cold and sullen face was devoid of expression, making it impossible to see his emotions.
"Check whether that elevator was an accident or manmade," Julien stood up and instructed in a cold voice.
With Flint Corporation's development over the years, Flint Corporation had indeed robbed some enterprises of their interests.
There was no guarantee that the people in those enterprises would not want to deal with him.
"Understood," Zach answered from the side and immediately went to investigate.
Soon, he came back from the investigation. "President Flint, it was an accident. That elevator was found to have problems in the morning, but the person in charge of the hotel did not stop the elevator service nor did he notify anyone to repair it. That's why we encountered the situation."
Zach also got a little scared as he spoke.
Fortunately, they were lucky and the elevator managed to descend safely to the first floor.
Otherwise, the consequences were simply unthinkable.
"Wow." Julien’s expression was extremely unpleasant as he clenched his fists. "Inform the headquarters personnel to change the person in charge of the hotel. Also, stop the elevator immediately and send someone for maintenance." "Understood." Zach nodded.
Julien's eyes flashed. "In addition, find out what happened between Sydney and Hunter."
Although those two people knew each other before, their relationship was average. They were not much different from strangers.
However, the relationship between those two grew by leaps and bounds and they could even banter with each other. Julien did not believe that there was nothing between the two.
Zach looked at the flash of sourness in Julien's eyes and understood that President Flint was jealous of Mr. Cohen and Ms. Raines.
However, although that was what he thought, he did not dare to voice it out. Thus, he could only play dumb and accept the order. "Understood."
