My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 996 The Flamboyant Luke

Sydney took the agenda. When she was about to read it, there was a knock on the door.

While opening the folder of the agenda, she spoke, "Please come in."

The door was pushed open. An assistant stood at the door, one hand holding a blue folder and the other holding the doorknob. The assistant said, "Ms. Raines, Mr. Chase has come, and he wants to meet you."

"Huh? Luke has come here?" Sydney became confused.

‘Why does Luke come now?’

"Ms. Raines..." Sean, who was standing opposite Sydney’s desk, suddenly got flustered.

Hearing Sean call her, Sydney looked at her. Sydney knew why Sean became flustered and signaled her to calm down. "Sean, don't be nervous. Don't worry. I know what you plan to say. Go to my lounge and have a rest," Sydney uttered while pointing at her lounge opposite.

Sean squeezed her hands and immediately gave a thankful smile. Then she turned around and walked quickly into the lounge.

At the sight of Sean’s back, Sydney sighed softly.

Sean and Luke were once the best partners.

But now, they intentionally avoided meeting each other. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

After rubbing her temples, Sydney looked at the assistant at the door again. "Where is Luke now?"

"Mr. Chase is downstairs. He was going to come up, but Mr. Dayton stopped him while passing by. The two of them are talking at this moment," The assistant replied.

Sydney frowned.

‘Stephen stopped Luke?

‘What the hell did Stephen mean to do?’

Sydney narrowed her eyes and then smiled at the assistant. "Okay, I know it. Let Luke come up."

"Yes, Ms. Raines," The assistant responded and then closed the door.

Soon, the door was opened again, and Luke stepped in.

He wore a white casual suit jacket with a burgundy shirt inside without a tie. Two buttons near the collar were unbuttoned, revealing his fair chest. His pants had the same color as the suit jacket.

But his pants were cropped, exposing his slender and attractive ankles.

And he wore a pair of white pointed leather shoes, looking very flamboyant along with today’s outfit.

Even if Sydney knew that Luke always dressed in an eye-catching way, she thought he looked slightly hard on the eyes.

Sydney supported her forehead and asked, "Aren't you cold when you dress this way?"

Sydney even felt cold when seeing his exposed chest and ankles.

However, Luke walked toward her with his chin slightly up in a very playful manner. "No. I don't feel cold. I don't feel it at all. Don't you think I'm perfectly dressed this way?"

While speaking, he had already stopped opposite her desk. The next second he performed a short dance of Michael Jackson's moonwalk.

Sydney covered her lips and smiled. "I don't think so. I just feel that you are very cold now. Your mouth corners and ankles are blue with cold."

Luke twitched his mouth corners. "Well, don't pay attention to these trivial things. I don't care about coldness as long as I look handsome."

"I'm worried that you will get sick." Sydney rubbed her forehead resignedly.

Luke waved his hand. "Don't worry. I’m a powerful and successful president. How can I get sick?"

He raised his chin, appearing pretty cool.

Sydney couldn't help erupting into laughter. "A powerful and successful president? Are you joking? You don't look like a president. You're more like a playboy. I've never seen a president dress so flirtatiously like you."

In summer, he always wore flamboyant floral shirts and big floral shorts.

Unexpectedly, he also dressed flamboyantly in winter.

Sydney was amused.

However, it was Luke’s style. If he changed his style one day, Sydney should worry whether something wrong had happened to him.

"Of course, you haven't seen a powerful and successful president like me. After all, those powerful and successful presidents are all old men. How can old men compare with me?" Luke pulled out a chair and sat down opposite her, snorting disdainfully.

Sydney rolled her eyes at him. "Who says all the powerful and successful presidents are old men? Ju..."

When Sydney uttered the syllable "Ju", she suddenly realized something and fell silent at once.

No. She couldn't mention Julien in front of Luke.

Although Luke had given her up and wished her and Julien happiness, it didn't mean that she could talk about Julien with him at will.

Doing so was piercing Luke’s heart.

"Luke, I’m sorry. I just..."

"Don't feel guilty." Luke waved his hand, still smiling. "You don't have to say sorry. I know you want to talk about Julien. It doesn’t matter. I don't mind you mentioning him. He is your boyfriend. Of course, you can talk about him. If I can't even allow you to mention him for some reason, I’m too selfish."

He smiled, revealing his shining teeth.

In fact, Luke became unhappy the second she talked about Julien.

But he returned to normal soon.

Just as he said, he couldn't prevent her from speaking about Julien just because he loved her. This was selfish.

He didn't want to be a selfish person. He had decided from the very beginning that since he loved her, he must make her happy. As the person who could bring her happiness was Julien, not him, he should let them be together and wish them happiness.

If he felt sad because she mentioned Julien, she would also become unhappy.

If so, he broke his promise to keep her happy.

Looking at his indifferent expression, Sydney moved her red lips. She was trying to say something to comfort him, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

She and Luke had been friends for more than twenty years. She was the person who knew Luke best, apart from his parents.

Even though he was grinning with joy and seemed not to care about her words at all, he must pretend to be so. He actually felt bitter in his heart.

"Luke..." Sydney stared at him with an apologetic expression.

When noticing her expression, Luke knew that she started to blame herself again and feel that she owed him again. He couldn't help but sigh. "Well, Syd, let's not talk about it. Let's discuss the business. Today is the last day for us to handle the problem with the parts. If we don't solve it, the matter will get thorny. Have you figured out the solution?"

Speaking of the problem, Sydney became serious and left her guilt behind. She answered, "Yes. I plan to adopt your suggestion."

"Mortgage the office building of Skylight Corporation?" Luke looked at her in shock.

Sydney shook her head. "No. I won’t mortgage the office building."

"Not the office building?" Luke was about to jump up from the chair, but when he heard her words, he calmed down and patted his chest, feeling relieved. "That's good to hear you won't mortgage the office building of Skylight Corporation. Although I advised you to mortgage it, I don't want you to really do so. Though the old office building was built by your father 20 years ago and it is not as modern as new office buildings, it is valuable because it is located downtown. It is not worthwhile to mortgage it for an amount of money to pull through. And I am afraid that the bank will not let you take it back later."

After all, the office building was very valuable since it was in a very good location. The bank was likely to get it by handicapping Sydney from redeeming the office building.
