Sydney was amused. "I know you have a lot of money, but you can't just give your money to those shareholders for nothing. These are not dividends but your money. If you do so, you will only make them greedy. They will sit back and relax in the future because they think that you will give them money and will not let them suffer losses. "
Julien reached out and stroked her nose. "I know, but do you think I will let them take advantage of me for nothing? They can only take advantage of me in their dreams."
Sydney nodded. "That's true."
"Well, let's go." Julien held her hand tightly. "I'll take you to my office. Don't worry. It won't delay the meeting. The meeting is important, but I can afford to be a few minutes late."
Sydney knew that he just wanted to take her there. Otherwise, he wouldn't have insisted after she refused continuously.
So she didn't want to reject his kindness. She nodded her head. "Since you said so, I have to agree."
Julien rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb and led her to his office.
When they arrived at the door of the president's office, Zach quickly came forward and opened the door for them.
Julien took Sydney in, but Zach did not follow. He turned around and went to the break room next door.
In the office, Julien let go of Sydney's hand and pointed to the couch. "Wait here for me to get back. You can watch TV, play games, read books in the bookcase behind my desk, or go to the lounge to sleep. The meeting will last several hours. It’s boring for you to just wait here. It's better to sleep."
He pointed in the direction of the lounge.
Sydney looked over and nodded. "I see. Just go to the meeting. Don't worry. I'm an adult. I can find fun ways to kill time. You made such a detailed arrangement. I feel like a child or a guest that can only do what you said."
Hearing the word "guest", Julien immediately frowned. "You are not a guest. You are my lover. My place is also your place, so you can feel free to do what you want to do. I won't arrange for you to do anything in the future."
"That's more like it. I feel much freer," Sydney said as she stretched.
Julien chuckled. He was about to say something when the office door reopened and Zach came in with a tray containing a pot of black tea and a delicate red velvet cake.
"Mr. Flint, I took the liberty of making black tea and bringing a cake for Ms. Raines," Zach said to Julien as he walked up to the two people.
Julien nodded in satisfaction. "I just intended to tell you to make tea. You are smart. Not bad."
Hearing his compliment, Zach smiled, "This is what I should do, and these were originally prepared by you for Ms. Raines."
"These were prepared for me?" Sydney pointed at her nose in surprise.
"Yes, Ms. Raines." Zach nodded.
Sydney looked at the tray he was holding and then looked at Julien. "I decided to come here on the spur of the moment, and I didn't see you ask someone to prepare these in the car, so why did you prepare them ahead of time?"
These must have been prepared in advance.
After all, Zach came here with them, and as soon as they entered the office, Zach came over with black tea and cake.
If Zach had ordered them after coming here, they wouldn't have arrived so fast.
The most important thing was that Julien did not like to drink black tea and eat dessert.
Julien seemed to be a little embarrassed, put his fist against his lips, and coughed. "I asked Zach to keep preparing these things a long time ago."
"What do you mean?" Sydney was puzzled.
