Hunter went up to the top floor and arrived at Julien's office door.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, the door next to Julien’s office, which was the special assistant's office, opened.
Zach came out of it with a file in his hand. Zach was surprised to see Hunter standing in front of Julien's office. "Mr. Cohen?"
Hunter raised his eyebrows at Zach and didn't say anything.
Zach came to his senses. He asked as he pushed his glasses upward, "Mr. Cohen, what can I do for you? Are you here to see Mr. Flint?"
"Of course! Why else would I be here?" Hunter rolled his eyes at Zach and asked, "Is Julien here?"
Zach realized he shouldn't have asked the question. He let out an awkward cough and replied, "Mr. Flint is inside. If you'd like to see Mr. Flint, please wait a moment. Let me tell Mr. Flint."
Hunter narrowed his eyes, "What? Do I need to make an appointment with Julien if I want to see him?"
Zach sensed that Hunter was unhappy, but he didn't get nervous. He replied calmly, "Mr. Cohen, here's the thing: Mr. Flint is not happy with your intentions regarding Ms. Raines, so Mr. Flint has previously instructed that if you come to see him, I need to get his permission before I let you in." Zach shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he could only do what Julien had instructed him to do.
Hunter spat, "Tsk... I can't go straight to see him because of my affection for Sydney. Isn’t it ridiculous? All right! Go ahead and tell him I'm here to see him." Hunter waved his hand impatiently.
"OK," Zach said with a polite smile. Then he knocked on Julien's office door.
Zach had intended to go to Julien’s office to send a file.
"Come in." After Zach knocked three times on the door, Julien's nonchalant voice came out of the office.
Zach pushed the door in. "Mr. Flint, here is the file you asked for."
Julien didn't look up. "Put it in here."
"Yes." Zach placed the file with both hands on the desk where Julien could easily reach it. Then he stepped back, stood at a distance from the desk, and reported, "Mr. Flint, Mr. Cohen is here."
Julien was writing something on a piece of paper. At Zach's words, Julien paused his writing and the tip of his pen poked a small hole in the paper, which ruined the page.
Julien frowned, put the pen down, balled up the page, and threw it in the trash can.
Then he rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "What's he doing here?"
Zach shook his head, "I don't know. I didn't ask Mr. Cohen. But he seemed to be in a good mood. Maybe he came here to talk to you."
Julien snorted, "What would he talk to me about? He must be here to ask something from me. Let him in."
"Yes, Mr. Flint," Zach nodded and turned to get out.
Julien leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes slightly and rubbing them gently to relax the muscles.
Footsteps sounded in the office and grew closer.
