My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 1038 A Rumor

Seeing that Sydney was reluctant to tell him, Julien arched his eyebrows and didn't force her. He smiled faintly and said, "Alright, don't talk about Zach anymore. If you mention other men all the time, I will be jealous. Why are you calling me? What do you want to say?"

Sydney twisted her lips. "Why are you so sure that I'm calling you because I have something to talk about to you? Maybe I feel bored and would like to chat with you."

Julien chuckled. "I know that you're not the kind of person who likes to chat with me during working hours."

Julien tapped his finger on the phone screen and signaled her to look back.

Sydney turned around to have a look. Bookshelves were behind her back.

Julien meant that she was in her study, and thus she was also working like him.

What Julien had said was right. During working hours, except for business, she wouldn't call or text anyone to chat.

Julien was the same.

Sydney called him during working hours this time. It meant that she had something to talk about to him.

Sydney smiled. "Alright, now that you know me so well, I will..."

"Reward me?" He interrupted her.

Sydney rolled her eyes. "Don't interrupt me. Why should I reward you?"

"I know you well. Shouldn't you reward me?" Julien looked at her.

Sydney twisted her lips. "I also know you well. Will you reward me?"

"I will." Julien nodded without hesitation. "What do you want? As long as I know what you want, I will get it for you."

Julien said as he looked at her seriously.

Sydney felt shy. "I don't need you to reward me. Let's get down to business. The Flint Corporation will cooperate with the Chase Corporation for a trading port. Is it the gift for Luke that you mentioned last night?"

"How do you know that?" A trace of hidden sharpness flashed through Julien's eyes. "I didn't tell you that the Flint Corporation would cooperate with the Chase Corporation for a trading port."

Sydney took a sip of water. "Luke told me that. Just now he called me and asked if I knew about it and knew the reason. I thought of what you had said last night and told him that it was the gift you gave him to thank him."

Julien had a moment of enlightenment and nodded. "You're right. I'm reluctant to owe others favors. The Chase Corporation needs it recently, so I gave it to them."

Sydney said with a smile, "At first, Luke was reluctant to accept it. After I persuaded him, he accepted it."

Julien said, "Even if you hadn't persuaded him, he would have accepted it finally. His father wouldn't allow him to do as he wished. His father wants to cooperate with a suitable trading port recently. It's related to the Chase Corporation's revolution. I sought cooperation with them actively. His father wouldn't miss the chance. If Luke had the guts to refuse, his father would break his legs."

Sydney covered her mouth and burst into laughter. "It's quite possible, so my persuasion helps Luke keep his legs."

"Pretty much." Julien lifted his chin.

Sydney giggled. "It seems that Luke needs to thank me."

Julien moved his lips and was about to say something. Suddenly, Sydney heard someone knocking on the door on the phone.

Julien frowned and felt unsatisfied that someone had interrupted his chat with Sydney, but he said to the person outside the door, "Please come in." This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

The door was opened. A secretary came in. "Mr. Flint, the guest who made an appointment with you yesterday is waiting for you in the reception room."

"I see. I will go to see him later. Please go to entertain him first." Julien nodded slightly and waved the secretary away.

The secretary nodded, glanced at Julien's phone and left.

After the secretary walked out of the office, Julien closed the door, leaned against the door and patted his chest in relief.

'Mr. Flint was having a video chat with Ms. Raines, and I disturbed them. No wonder Mr. Flint's gaze was filled with dissatisfaction as if he wanted to kill me as soon as I walked in.

'Thus, it's not strange that he felt dissatisfied.

'I walked into his office at a bad time.

'Luckily, although he felt unsatisfied, he wasn't angry with me.

'Otherwise, I would lose my job.'

The secretary smiled bitterly, put down his hand and walked towards the elevator.

'It's a difficult task to talk with Mr. Flint directly.

'I may anger him by accident and lose my job.

'I'd better leave this kind of task to Zach.'

He shook his head and walked into the elevator.

At the same time, in the president's office, after the door of the office was closed, Julien's face softened as he looked at the phone screen.

When Julien was about to say something, Sydney suddenly smiled at him. "I heard that you had a guest."

Julien nodded. "He is my grandfather's friend during my grandfather's lifetime. He has business with my family. He came here to ask for help this time."

"I see." Sydney nodded. "Now that he is your grandfather's friend, go to see him and don't keep him waiting for too long. I'm calling you because I want to confirm if the trading port of Chase Group is your gift for Luke. I have confirmed it and have nothing else to say. I will get out of your hair now. If you have something else to say, say it when we return home after work."

Now that Sydney said so, Julien didn't have any reason to refuse.

Also, Julien was reluctant to keep Jared Downey waiting for too long. Jared was not only his grandfather's friend but also one of his teachers.

Jared was an economist when he was young. Most of Julien's economic knowledge was taught by Jared.

Jared had contributed to Julien's achievement.

Besides, Jared was very nice. Except for that he spoiled his granddaughter and blindly defended her for some things, he almost didn't have any other shortcomings.

Thus, Julien was respectful to Jared and reluctant to keep him waiting for too long.

Julien looked at Sydney and said, "OK. I will go to see Mr. Downey first and will introduce him to you at the banquet of the shopping mall."

Sydney nodded. "OK."

"Bye."

Sydney smiled. "Bye."

Julien looked at her with affection and ended the video chat with reluctance.

After Julien ended the video chat, Sydney smiled, put away her phone and was about to start to work.

Suddenly, the door of Sydney's office was pushed open. Sean rushed in. She walked so fast that her face turned red.

Seeing that, Sydney was shocked. She blinked and asked, "What has happened?"

Usually, Sean was polite. Every time she went to see Sydney, she would knock on the door. She wouldn't push open the door and come in until she got permission from Sydney unless something serious had happened.

Sean walked in without knocking on the door this time. It must be because something serious had happened.

As expected, after Sean paused for breath, she looked at Sydney and said, "Ms. Raines, you're in trouble. There is a rumor about you."

"What?" Sydney fell into a trance. She didn't understand Sean's words until a few seconds later. Then she asked with a strange expression, "Did you say that there was a rumor about me?"

"That's it." Sean nodded.

Sydney twisted her lips. "How can it be possible? I'm not a star. Why is there a rumor about me?"

Sydney said as she smiled and didn't take it seriously.

Sean said, "Although you're not a star, you're a public figure. Don't forget that you're the president of Skylight Corporation and Mr. Flint's girlfriend. Thus, all eyes are on you. Also, you have been trending topics online several times. You're as famous as top stars. Many people pay attention to your moves online. Someone took photos of a man and you entering and leaving the hotel. Thus, there is a rumor about you."
