Chapter 999 Someone Is Peeping
When Julien was lost in thought, Zach drove the car and asked suddenly, "Mr. Flint, it has been three days since it happened. Has Ms. Raines come up with a solution?"
Julien frowned.
'Has she come up with a solution?
'I guess that she has come up with a solution.
'After all, during the past three days, I haven't seen any anxiety or worries on her face. I'm sure that it isn't because she is good at acting. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
'It's quite possible that she has come up with a solution, so she's able to get along with me as usual. Otherwise, she would have given herself away, and I would have noticed it.
'Thus, she has come up with a solution.
'But is the solution really workable?'
Seeing that Julien kept silent, Zach didn't feel surprised. He turned the steering wheel and added, "I guess that Ms. Raines hasn't come up with a solution. As far as I know, the components are crucial to Skylight Corporation. If they fail to find them back, the result will be extraordinarily severe. Currently, there are only two suitable solutions. One is to get the components back. The other is to use money to make up for the loss caused by the lost components. I'm afraid that Ms. Raines doesn't have so much money. Or she's reluctant to take out so much money."
Zach stopped and looked in the rearview mirror at Julien, who sat in the backseat.
'Mr. Flint has given his supplementary card to Ms. Raines.
'As long as she is willing, she can use Mr. Flint's card without limit at any time.
'Thus, Ms. Raines can afford the money. The key is whether she is willing to take out the money.
'I guess that Ms. Raines is unwilling to use Mr. Flint's money.
'She is even reluctant to tell him that. How can she be willing to use his money?'
As expected, what Julien said next proved Zach's guess.
Julien lowered his head and said slightly, "She won't use my money."
"I knew it," Zach sighed. "Why is Ms. Raines so stubborn? You're her big backer, but she insists on relying on herself. She is still not powerful enough and unable to solve a lot of things by herself properly. Why bother?"
'If I were Ms. Raines, and Mr. Flint were my backer and were willing to give me money, I would be overjoyed to use his money.'
Zach couldn’t understand Sydney's thoughts.
"Mr. Flint, is it because Ms. Raines hasn't trusted you totally?" Zach glanced at Julien and guessed.
Julien narrowed his eyes and glanced at Zach coldly. "Shut up."
'She hasn't trusted me totally?
'Absolutely not.
'She must trust me totally.
'She's just reluctant to be too dependent on me.'
But Julien still felt disturbed by Zach's words.
Zach knew that he shouldn't have said so. He withdrew his neck, fell silent, and focused on driving.
Julien took out his phone, opened WhatsApp, and found Sydney's account. It seemed that he wanted to say something to her.
But he didn't type any words after he put his fingers above the typing bar for a while.
Finally, he moved his fingers away and exited WhatsApp.
He didn't know how to ask her why she didn't tell him.
He knew the reason. It wouldn't make any difference even if he asked her.
'I will ask for an explanation after I take the components back for her.
'I also need to have it out with her for some things. I can't give in easily just because she looks confident.
'What has happened this time clearly tells me that being softhearted isn't a good thing.
'At least for the current situation, it's not a good thing for her.'
At that same time, after Sydney dealt with a document, she suddenly felt panicked and uneasy.
She felt as if someone had known something that she was reluctant to be known by others.
Seeing that she suddenly changed her expression, Luke, who sat across and played phone games, asked with concern, "What's the matter?"
She picked up the coffee, took a sip, and shook her head. "Nothing special. I just had palpitations, and I'm fine now."
"Are you feeling unwell? Need I call a doctor for you?" Hearing that she had palpitations, he became nervous immediately. He ended the game, put away his phone, stood up from the chair, and reached out to touch her forehead.
In the opposite lounge, Sean opened the door slightly. When she saw the scene, her eyes were filled with sadness and bitterness.
All the time, she knew that Luke was a gentle man. He just pretended to be slovenly and skittish in front of outsiders.
She was one of the outsiders, and he wouldn't be gentle to her forever.
She lowered her head, closed the door slightly, and didn't look at them anymore.
'I have decided to let it go.
'I'm just torturing myself by looking at how intimate they are.
'So just let it go.'
She let go of the doorknob, turned around, and sat beside the bed in the lounge. She lowered her head and fell silent.
In the office, after Sydney slapped away Luke's hand, he felt something and turned around to look at the closed door of the lounge.
Sydney was fixing her hair. When she saw his move, she suddenly paused, and her heart did a flip- flop. She ventured, "What's the matter? What are you looking at?"
He didn't turn around and still looked at the door of the lounge. "I'm looking at your lounge. I felt that someone was looking at me just now."
She widened her eyes immediately. "Someone was looking at you?"
'Oh, my God. He's so sensitive.'
He nodded. "That's it. I felt that someone was looking at me just now."
He said as he turned around, narrowed his eyes, and stared at Sydney.
She was shocked by his gaze. She stammered, "What … are you doing?"
"Syd, you look nervous." He narrowed his eyes more tightly and leaned forward. "Have you hidden someone inside?"
Suddenly, her pupils contracted, and she raised her voice. "Of course not!"
Seeing that, he knew that he was right. She had hidden someone in her lounge.
And the person was looking at him just now.
Sydney realized that her answer and move were too suspicious.
She regretted it very much.
'I'm screwed!'
At the same time, Sean heard their conversation in the lounge. She panicked and stood up.
'What can I do?
'Mr. Chase noticed that I was looking at him just now!
'Will he come in and catch me?'
Her face started to turn pale. She anxiously walked around in the lounge and didn't know what she could do.
She was afraid that Luke would come in to catch her.
'What if he finds that I'm pregnant? It…'
Sean's gaze became more panicked, and her face turned paler. Even her eyes turned red. She clenched her hands tightly and prayed that Sydney would stop him and that he wouldn't notice her.
Sydney knew how serious the consequence would be if Luke found Sean. Naturally, Sydney would try to stop him.
After Luke confirmed that there was someone in the lounge, he wanted to see who was inside.
Seeing that, Sydney immediately stood up, bypassed the desk, ran in front of Luke, and stopped him with open arms. "What are you going to do?"
He stopped. "What am I going to do? Of course, I want to see who you have hidden in the lounge."
