As expected, Sean was relieved when she found that Sydney just wanted to talk about work with her.
She lightly rubbed her tense face and then typed a reply.
Sean: [Okay, Ms. Raines. Where will we meet? I can go out anytime.]
Anyway, she was still on vacation and had a lot of free time.
Sydney looked at the watch on her wrist.
Sydney: [How about we meet at the cafeteria next to our company at ten o’clock?]
Sean agreed.
Sydney put down her phone and continued to eat.
Because of the phone calls and messages, her breakfast had almost turned cold now.
After taking a few mouthfuls in a hurry, she put down her fork and stopped eating.
Then she cleaned up the table, picked up her purse and went out.
While sitting in the office, all Sydney thought about was Sean’s pregnancy, and she was in no mood to deal with the work.
Within an hour, she had only completed two or so tasks, and her work efficiency was far lower than usual.
She didn’t calm herself down until receiving Julien’s messages.
Sydney and Julien didn't chat for long, as Julien was very busy and he squeezed replies to her in.
After sending a few messages, he went on to work.
It was almost ten o'clock, and Sydney went downstairs to the cafeteria next to the company.
Sean arrived in advance. When Sydney stepped into the cafeteria, Sean had been waiting for her.
The moment their eyes met, Sean greeted Sydney with a wave.
Smiling, Sydney waved back and walked towards her.
Seeing Sydney coming, Sean immediately stood up and pulled out the chair opposite. "Ms. Raines, please sit down."
"Thank you." Sydney thanked her with a smile and sat down.
Then Sean sat on her own chair.
"What would you want to drink?" Staring at Sydney, Sean handed her the menu.
Sydney reached out to take it, flipped through it casually and ordered a cup of juice. Then she handed the menu to the waitress next to them without asking Sean what she wanted to drink. "Give her a cup of hot milk."
Before the waitress could respond, Sean frowned. "I don't want to drink milk. It smells too fishy."
"No." Sydney looked at her seriously. "You are pregnant. It’s best to drink milk."
With a bang, the water glass in Sean's hand dropped on the table. The water in the glass splashed, wetting the tablecloth and the table in front of her.
Fortunately, the glass didn't roll to the ground. Otherwise, it would have been broken.
But Sean didn't care about the glass at all. She gazed at Sydney with a pale face, her pupils dilated. She opened her mouth and uttered in a flustered voice after a while, "Well, how..."
"You want to ask how I know it, right?" Sydney glanced at the mess calmly and interrupted Sean.
Sean opened her mouth again, but she didn't say a word this time, as Sydney’s guess was right.
Sydney didn’t explain it to Sean immediately. Instead, she said, "Be relaxed.”
