Her factory had just been built, and the machines bought from Kingthene would not be delivered until early next month.
As long as the machines were delivered at the beginning of the next month, Skylight would not have to cooperate with other factories to produce parts and other machinery. It would be self-sufficient.
Now, there were only ten days before the next month, so it was naturally the last time to cooperate with that factory.
But unexpectedly, such a thing happened during the last cooperation.
Sydney closed her eyes and let out a long sigh.
At that moment, she suddenly remembered something, and her face changed slightly.
In the morning, after she refused Dallin, who asked her to let Greta go, Dallin said that she should not make a decision so quickly, and he gave her two days to think about it, saying that maybe after two days, she would change her mind.
She told Julien about this and laughed at Dallin's words that she might change her mind in two days. Did Dallin have any leverage?
But now, Dallin had snatched the parts. If she couldn't get them in time, all kinds of trouble would appear. She would have to compromise in order to get them back, wouldn't she?
That was Dallin's purpose. He wanted to threaten her so that she would change her mind in two days.
What a scheming guy!
Compared to an old fox like Dallin, she was indeed still too naive.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been caught unprepared.
As she thought about it, Sydney's chest heaved with anger, and her eyes were red.
The phone screen on the table flashed, and Julien's slightly amplified voice came over. "Leaf, are you still there?"
When she heard the man's voice, Sydney's eyes gleamed. She looked down. Only then did she remember that her call with Julien had not yet ended.
She took a breath, calmed herself down a little, suppressed her anger, and held the phone to her ear. "Yes."
After he heard Sydney respond, Julien's face softened a bit. He pursed his thin lips and asked, "What just happened?"
Sydney knew he had overheard some of the noise when she was angry just now, so he would naturally ask her.
If something happened within the company, she might not hide it from Julien and would tell him directly.
But this time, she didn't want to tell him about it.
If he knew, he would definitely go straight to Dallin.
There was a great grudge between Julien and Dallin, and it was not appropriate for Julien to confront him now.
So, she decided to hide it for now.
There were still three days left, and over the three days, she would try to solve it on her own. If she couldn't get the parts back in three days, she would consider whether to ask for his help.
Thinking about it, Sydney bit her lower lip and tried to make her voice natural as she replied, "It's just a small thing. Stephen made trouble again. You know him well. He is ambitious. He often causes trouble. I'm used to it."
"Is that so?" Julien narrowed his eyes, obviously a bit skeptical.
According to her angry and shocked voice just now, it didn't seem to be a small thing.
"Of course." Sydney nodded her head and then pretended to be unhappy. "So you think I'm lying to you? You don't believe me?"
"I believe you," Julien immediately replied.
Sydney grunted, "Alright. Anyway, I have already ordered my subordinates to deal with it, so stop asking about it."
Seeing that she eagerly wanted to change the topic, Julien rubbed his brow and could only listen to her.
"Since there is nothing serious, I will not ask. If anything big happens, I hope you won't hide it from me. You must tell me and not let me worry, understand?" Julien frowned.
Sydney dropped her eyes somewhat nervously and answered vaguely, "Well, I'll leave you alone for now. I have a bit of work to do. If I don't deal with it now, I won't be able to leave at seven o'clock."
"OK." Julien nodded slightly.
The call ended. He put the phone down, his brows still tightly knitted.
