Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! -
Chapter 204 It's For Sydney
'Look, that was the difference.
'When he heard that it was from Ms. Raines, his anger dissipated.'
"It's from Sydney?" Julien gripped the pen in his hand with a hint of joy in his eyes.
Seeing this, Zach quickly handed over the pile of gift boxes in his hands and pretended to ask, "President Flint, will you be keeping these? If you don't want them, I'll send them to the finance department." He did not believe that Julien would agree.
"Leave it by the side," Julien raised his chin and said indifferently.
'As expected.' Zach held back his laughter and nodded. "Yes."
'I guessed correctly. President Flint wanted to keep them.
'He's incredibly happy in his heart, but he's putting a calm look on the surface. Why bother?'
After putting down the health products, Zach got ready to leave.
Just then, his phone in his pocket rang.
Zach took it out and saw that it was the receptionist calling. "President Flint, I'll take a call."
Julien hummed, but his eyes remained locked on the pile of health products. His gaze was quite gentle.
Zach sighed.
He thought, 'If I weren't here, President Flint would've gone up to check them immediately.'
However, he did not keep looking and answered the phone instead.
Two minutes later, he put down the phone. "President Flint, Ms. Madden is here."
Julien frowned. "What's she here for?"
"I'm not sure, but it probably has to do with your injury. " Zach looked at Julien's wheelchair.
Julien rubbed his temples. "Let her come up."
"Yes." Zach put the phone to his ear again and conveyed the message to the other end of the phone.
Not long after, Lyra came up.
"Julien, I heard you hurt your foot. What happened?" she asked as soon as she came in.
Julien picked up his coffee and took a sip. "There was just a little accident."
"Really?" Lyra looked at his foot with worry. "What kind of accident was it?"
Julien put down his coffee and replied, "Just a sprain.
It's nothing serious. Don't worry."
"How can I not worry? I almost went sick with worry when I heard that you were injured. I have to see how bad the wound is." Then, Lyra squatted and tried to lift Julien's trousers to look at his injury. Seeing this, Julien frowned tightly and pushed her away directly.
Lyra accidentally stumbled to the ground from his push and looked at him, dumbfounded.
He pushed her!
"Julien..." Lyra bit her lip, looking aggrieved.
Julien also realized that he had gone overboard earlier. His heart felt apologetic and he reached out to pull her up. "Sorry, Lyra. I didn't mean to. I just don't like it when people touch me casually." To the side, Zach, who had not spoken up, rolled his eyes speechlessly when he heard this.
'President Flint, what do you mean you don't like being touched casually? Ms. Raines also lifted your trouser leg last night, but you didn't say that to her and you didn't push her away. 'You just don't like Ms. Madden touching you.'
Of course, Zach did not dare to say these words.
He stood on the sidelines like an invisible man, silently watching the show.
"It's fine." Lyra pulled the corners of her mouth in a forced smile. "I was too impulsive. I wanted to see your wound, but I didn't consider your feelings. Don't blame me for that, Julien." Julien hummed. "Don't worry, I don't blame you. It's just a small injury. I'll be fine in a few days, so you don't need to worry."
Then, he gave Zach a look.
Zach also knew that he could not continue watching the show. He coughed softly and stood up, saying, 'Yes, Ms. Madden. The doctor also said that President Flint's injury isn't a big deal." "If that's the case, then I'm relieved." Lyra patted her chest.
"I'll go out now, President Flint," Zach pushed his glasses and spoke to Julien.
Julien nodded. "Go ahead."
"You have a nice chat with Ms. Madden." Then, Zach turned around and left.
Julien and Lyra were the ones left in the office.
Lyra looked around and suddenly saw a box on the table with the logo for Chimepiece.
"What's this?" She picked up the box with interest.
Julien wanted to stop her, but it was too late. She already opened the box.
"Wow, it's Chimepiece's new couple watches." Lyra looked at the large and small watches in the box and asked in surprise, "When did you buy this, Julien? I wanted to buy this before and wear it with you, but I didn't manage to get one. I didn't expect that you bought it secretly."
She put down the box as she spoke and took out the lady's watch from the box, about to put it on her wrist.
Julien directly took it from her. "This isn't for you."
The smile on Lyra's face froze. When she saw him put the lady's watch into the box, her face twisted even more for a moment.
"If it's not for me, then who is it for?" She clenched her hands, suppressing the anger inside and trying to make her voice sound natural.
'It's for Sydney!'
This answer came straight to Julien's mind, leaving him stunned as well.
However, he soon figured that Sydney and he obtained these watches together after encountering danger. It was normal to give it to Sydney, so there was no need to be surprised by it.
Thinking that way, Julien inwardly calmed down, lowered his eyes, and said in a light voice, "I bought it for a friend, so don't wear it. If you want it, I'll buy you another one."
"Oh, I see." Lyra smiled. She saw that he was serious and the anger in her heart suddenly dissipated.
She thought that he bought it for Sydney.
"But Julien, since you bought it for your friend, why didn't you buy one for us as well?" Lyra hugged Julien's arm, pouting unhappily.
Julien pulled his hand out. "I didn't think about it."
"It's okay. I forgive you," Lyra said with a smile.
Julien closed the box and put it into the drawer gently.
Lyra saw it but did not think much of it. Since it was for a friend, it was normal to handle it gently so as to not break it.
On the other hand, Sydney heard Sophie say that the health products were sent over. She hummed in acknowledgment and did not ask about it.
Since she sent the health products over, it meant that she returned the favor of Julien last night. She did not owe him anymore.
As for the other times he saved her, it was Lyra who wanted to hurt her first. As Lyra's fiance, coming out to save her was something he should do. Thus, she did not owe him either.
"Darling." Luke's voice came from the office door.
Sydney looked up and smiled. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to accompany you to the surgery, of course. You didn't forget, did you?" Luke lowered his hand from the door and went in.
Sydney leaned back in her chair. "Of course, I didn't forget, but it's not even noon yet. You came here so early."
"I have nothing to do anyway, so I came over early." Luke pulled out a chair, sat down, and surveyed her desk. "You're not done with work yet?"
"This work is for the day after tomorrow," Sydney flipped through the folder and answered.
Just as Luke was about to ask if she wanted help, he suddenly saw an invitation and reached out to pick it up. "Darling, you also received an invitation to the auction?"
"Yeah. Didn't I tell you?" Sydney looked up at him.
Luke's mouth twitched. "Of course, you didn't. Would I have asked if you did?"
Sydney laughed. "Seems like I forgot. By the way, what are you planning to donate?"
"A painting worth several tens of thousands. What about you?" Luke put down the invitation and asked.
Sydney stretched. "I planned to donate jewelry, but all my jewelry was taken away by my stepmother and sister six years ago. I didn't buy any in the six years I was in the Flint family either, and the ones 1 bought now aren't even enough for myself, so I don't have extra to donate. I'm planning to buy another necklace and donate it."
