After waiting for about half an hour, Julien was drinking coffee when he suddenly heard a noise from the conference room across from him.
He put down his coffee cup and stood up, looking toward the conference room, just in time to see the door open and a group of people come out in twos and threes.
Julien stared at those people, looking for the figure he had been thinking about.
But after seeing several people come out, he didn't see the figure he wanted to see, which made Julien look somewhat disappointed.
It seemed that she would be the last to come out.
Julien pursed his lips thoughtfully, but he did not withdraw his gaze.
What if Sydney wasn't the last to come out? Then wouldn't he miss her?
Julien's eyes were intense and soon attracted the attention of the people from the conference room.
They looked over, stunned to see Julien standing there.
"Mr. ... Mr. Flint?"
Someone couldn't help but shout.
This shout made other people recover from their stupefaction.
"It's really Mr. Flint. I thought I was wrong."
"Me too."
"What's Mr. Flint doing here?"
Some people were curious.
But soon, these curious people were laughed at by others.
"Nonsense. Why do you think he is here? Ms. Raines and Mr. Flint are a pair."
Being reminded of this, the curious people immediately reacted and quickly slapped their foreheads. "Yes, yes. We almost forgot. Mr. Flint must have come to look for Ms. Raines."
"That's right."
"Then ... should we go and say hello?" someone inquired.
But soon there were objections from others. "No need. Mr. Flint is here to look for Ms. Raines. We will annoy him if we do that, won't we?"
"But he is here. It seems a little improper not to go over to say hello."
"This..."
The crowd fell silent.
Indeed, it was improper not to greet Julien, but it would annoy him if they did so. What should they do?
Moreover, it made them not know whether to stay or leave.
For a while, the Skylight's executives who had come out of the conference room were distressed.
Stephen, who was among the crowd, listened to the discussion and looked at the man staring at them with a sullen face.
Stephen had always been vexed by the relationship between Julien and Sydney.
The better their relationship was, the worse it was for Stephen.
If they were close, once Sydney had trouble, Julien would help her, and then Stephen's dream of getting Skylight would be even harder to achieve.
So Stephen couldn't wait for their relationship to become bad.
But right now, that was unrealistic.
Julien came here to pick up Sydney from work, so how could their relationship be bad?
Stephen clenched his fists, and his face was full of frustration.
Seeing Stephen like this, the executives on Sydney's side snickered disdainfully in their hearts.
They thought Stephen was beyond stupid.
