Considering Julien's status, Stephen didn't dare or was qualified to show his anger.
"Since all of us have finished working, let’s leave together, okay?" Although Stephen was asking for Julien and Sydney's permission, he stepped directly into the elevator without waiting for their answer.
The elevator door slowly closed as he came in.
Even if Julien and Sydney wanted to refuse him, it was too late.
Julien's face turned dark.
So did Sydney’s, but she didn't say anything either.
After all, the elevator was exclusive for high-level executives, not only for Sydney, so Stephen had the right to take it.
Well, Sydney chose to bear staying in the same elevator with Stephen.
It was extraordinarily quiet in the elevator. Only breathing and the sound of the elevator running could be heard.
Stephen felt slightly stressed after a while.
But it was not Sydney who put pressure on him.
Although she had been in charge of Skylight Corporation for almost half a year, she was still young. In terms of vibe, she was far inferior to Stephen, a person who had been in business for decades.
Hence, Sydney couldn’t make him stressed. Instead, he could influence her.
There were only three people in the elevator. As Sydney couldn't put pressure on Stephen, Julien was the only one who could affect him.
Thinking about it, Stephen turned his head slightly and looked at Julien, who stood beside Sydney and held her in his arms in a protective posture. Stephen felt that Julien, though still young, was born to be a powerful boss, as Julien could even render him stressed and nervous. Staring at Julien, Stephen felt awkward.
"What are you looking at?" While Stephen was deep in thought, Julien suddenly fixed his eyes on him. His eyes were indifferent and emotionless.
At the sight of his eyes, Stephen gave a cold shiver, and his face turned a bit pale.
However, Stephen quickly calmed down, as he was a sophisticated man anyway. He suppressed his fear and managed a smile. "I’m looking at you and Sydney. The two of you love each other deeply. When I read news about you online, I really envied you."
"Genuine love should be envied," Julien withdrew his gaze and replied.
Sydney curled her lips, without uttering a word.
Stephen lowered his eyes. "Yes. Mr. Flint, I’m Sydney’s elder. Her father and I were friends for many years. Now that her father passed away, I should take care of her as her elder."
“What do you intend to say?" Julien frowned his brows.
Sydney looked at Stephen with undisguised mockery.
‘Stephen is really funny. When he was fighting for power and interests, he wished I would die so that there was a possibility for him to grab my things.
‘At ordinary times, he is impolite to me. He has never respected me as his friend’s daughter, let alone viewed me as the president.
‘If he hadn't made contributions to Skylight Corporation and hadn't been old, I wouldn't tolerate him treating me this way. I would definitely let him know how to respect me.’
Now, because of Julien, Stephen seemed to have forgotten how he usually treated Sydney. He shamelessly pretended to be her kind and caring elder.
If Sydney hadn't known that he was pretending to be so, maybe she would really have been tricked by him.
After all, his acting skills were pretty good.
