Seeing him like this, Sydney could probably guess what Julien had said to praise her.
He must have said some cheesy words.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so emotional.
Even Sofia could tell that Julien was shy. Since Sydney had been with him for so long, she knew him better.
Julien had always been thick-skinned, and he used to say sweet words to her, but she had never seen him so embarrassed.
Therefore, she was really curious about what cheesy words he had used to describe her.
However, Julien made it clear that he wouldn't be honest with her. Even if Sydney kept staring at him, he was unwilling to turn his head.
He was afraid that she would force him to come clean as soon as he turned around.
Seeing that Julien refused to turn his head and face her, Sydney knew it was impossible to make him talk.
Sydney had no choice but to look at Sofia helplessly.
Sofia knew what she was disappointed about. She patted Sydney on the shoulder with a smile, told her not to worry, and then waved to her assistant.
While Sofia was talking with her assistant in Italian, Sydney didn't ignore Julien.
She obviously saw his slightly changed face, and he seemed to be nervous.
What was he nervous about?
Just as she was thinking, Sofia's assistant spoke, "Ms. Raines, Ms. Sofia asked me to translate for you."
The assistant was from the same country as Sydney and Julien. Although she was abroad all year round, she was proficient in English as a native speaker.
When Sydney heard that the assistant would replace Julien as a translator, her eyes obviously lit up and she smiled gratefully. "That would be great, thank you."
The assistant smiled and said, "You're welcome."
Then the assistant began to translate what Julien had said before.
Hearing Julien's mushy compliments on her, Sydney only felt goosebumps all over her body.
This was so embarrassing!
Julien had used almost all the beautiful words in the world to praise her.
She knew very well that these words had nothing to do with her.
She didn't even know that she was so good!
In a word, the real her had nothing in common with the one Julien had described.
‘Didn't he feel embarrassed when using these exaggerated adjectives to describe me?’ Sydney thought.
She was awkward anyway.
Sydney turned to look at Julien's increasingly red ear tips, and she asked, "Are you really not lying to Sofia? How can I be so good? The person you described is obviously not me.”
Although she was delighted that he could describe her like this, she felt embarrassed at the same time.
"I didn't lie to her!" Julien finally turned his head around and looked into her eyes seriously.
The assistant also translated their conversation for Sophia.
But at the moment, Sydney and Julien only cared about each other.
"Of course you lied to her. I have nothing to do with the woman you described!" Sydney rolled her eyes and her face turned red.
She didn't even dare to recall his words, or she would be overwhelmed with embarrassment.
"It's you." When Julien heard Sydney’s words, he nodded without hesitation.
The corners of Sydney's mouth twitched slightly. "Are you sure? There is nothing in line with me at all.”
