This solution...
Sydney fell silent.
Actually, she considered it feasible.
But if she gave up that batch of parts and took out a loan from a bank to pull through, the loan must be very large.
If she wanted to get the loan, she had to provide valuable collateral.
The most valuable collateral was the building of Skylight Corporation.
But it was risky to mortgage the building.
If she couldn’t pay off the loan, she would lose the building.
So, she must ponder over the solution cautiously.
Thinking about it, Sydney rubbed her temples, took a deep breath, and replied, "Luke, let me think about it. Give me one day."
Luke knew what she was hesitant about. If he were her, he would hesitate, too.
Nodding, Luke uttered, "Okay, take your time. No matter what decision you make, tell me. Don’t let me worry about you."
"Okay." Sydney bit her lower lip and then agreed.
After talking for another while, she hung up.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Sydney put down her phone, lowered her head, and fell into deep thought.
A few minutes later, the door was opened, and Julien walked in. He asked softly, "Honey, what's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
Sydney blinked. Then she looked up at him and gave a smile. "Er... I just feel sleepy. By the way, how do you like my clothes today?"
She stood up, suppressing her fret. She didn't hope Julien to sense her worry, so she quickly changed the subject and let him see her clothes with a spin.
Rubbing his chin, Julien nodded, very satisfied. "Great! Very beautiful."
"Certainly. It’s you who selected the clothes." Sydney put down her hands.
Julien raised his lips. "I have good taste, right?"
Sydney gave a thumbs up. "Yeah. You have good taste. Otherwise, you wouldn't have chosen such beautiful clothes for me."
"How about I select clothes for you every day from now on?" Julien approached her, put his arms around her slender waist, lowered his head and whispered in her ear.
Looking at him, Sydney answered, "Why not? I’ll be very happy."
Since Julien was willing to put together an outfit for her every day, it was her for the taking.
Staring at her cunning smile, Julien chuckled. "Okay, as long as I have time in the future, I will choose the clothes for you to wear. Let's go to eat. The meal is ready."
He took her hand and led her to the dining room.
Julien cooked a sumptuous meal.
Apart from the pasta, he also prepared steaks, prawns and mushrooms, which made Sydney's mouth water.
Sydney pressed her hair backward and lowered her head to smell the food. Smiling, she praised, "They smell so good and must be very delicious. Thank you."
"My pleasure. If you like them, I feel it worthwhile to make the meal." While talking, he pulled out a chair for her.
After she sat down, he gave her the fork and knife. "Have a try."
"Okay." Sydney nodded while holding the fork and knife. She cut a piece of steak and tasted it. Then she ate a mushroom and a pawn.
The steak was succulent, the mushroom was delectable, and the pawn was tender. Though these were ordinary ingredients, Sydney felt wonderful while eating them.
She couldn’t help advising while chewing another piece of steak. "Julien, if you open a restaurant and specially sell steaks, your business will definitely be prosperous."
After taking a bite of the steak, Julien replied, "Okay, when we are old and retire, let’s hand over the companies to our children. Then let’s open a restaurant. I make steaks and you manage the restaurant. What do you think of it?"
Sydney didn't expect Julien to agree and even describe their life when they were old.
