Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!
Chapter 469 Looking for a Plus One

Julien reached as high as he could with his phone.

Because he was sitting on the bed, he was naturally in a higher position than Sydney. The phone was completely out of reach with a simple raise of his hand.

Sydney couldn't even reach for his hand, let alone grab the phone. She had no choice but to jump up and grab the phone.

Julien had predicted she would act like this. Then he straightened his back and raised the phone again when she jumped up.

Sydney touched the phone again, but only with her fingertips this time.

The next moment, she lost her balance and fell into Julien's arms.

Julien lowered his gaze to see Sydney lying on his chest. His eyes darkened slightly as his voice became a little hoarse. He asked, "Sydney, are you throwing yourself at me?" Sydney appeared irritated as she quickly raised her head. "Certainly not!"

Julien didn't say anything, but he did lower his gaze.

Then Sydney followed his gaze down to see that she was lying in his arms, her hands resting on his chest.

His patient gown was slightly lifted, revealing a part of his seductive toned abs.

Sydney blushed again. She quickly removed her hands from Julien's chest, stood up, and moved away from him.

Sydney walked so fast that she tripped.

Seeing this, Julien reminded her, "Be careful."

Sydney turned to look behind her and grabbed the chair she was sitting in to steady herself.

Sydney said, "Oops! I almost fell again."

Julien was relieved when he saw Sydney had regained her balance, then pursed his lips and complained, "How are you so clumsy?"

Sydney averted her gaze, feeling guilty.

She thought, "I didn't mean to be so clumsy, but you were the one who made me fall."

She wouldn't have fallen into his arms after a failed attempt to snatch the phone if he had passed it to her, and she wouldn't have had to put up with him joking about throwing herself at him. Sydney's face flushed as she remembered the scene from just a few moments ago. She reached up and placed her cold hands on her hot face, attempting to cool it down.

She never expected to fall into Julien's arms twice in such a short time.

Even the caregiver initially misinterpreted them when she first bumped into them.

Even though no one saw them the second time, she was just as embarrassed as she had been the first time.

It was also an accident the first time. She could quickly regain her composure, although she felt awkward.

However, the current situation was different. She kind of took the initiative to throw herself into his arms when she tried to grab her phone.

As a result, Sydney felt the need to find a place where she could calm down.

"Um... I...I have to use the bathroom." Sydney quickly turned around and hurriedly entered the bathroom, closing the door behind her. Sydney leaned against the door and slid down slowly in the enclosed space. She buried her head between her knees after that.

She felt so embarrassed.

She was also taken aback by the fact that she did something so unlike herself. She wasn't the type to take someone's phone just because she wasn't allowed to use it. However, she acted differently this time, and her attempt to grab the phone turned into an unintentional hug.

So she was confused as to how she could not be so calm.

Sydney bit her lower lip, her eyes puzzled.

Julien grinned when he heard the bathroom door slam shut back in the ward.

He knew Sydney was using the bathroom to get away from him, because she was too shy.

Julien chuckled and averted his gaze, not intending to call her.

He was well aware that if he did, she would become even more agitated.

He decided to leave her alone in the bathroom to calm down.

And she would eventually come out once she had adjusted herself.

Thinking this, Julien lowered his head and looked at his tablet.

The bathroom door opened about a half-hour later, and Sydney walked out.

Julien put down his tablet and looked over at her when he heard the movement.

Her face was no longer red, but her eyes were still flickering. It seemed that she hadn't completely cooled down. Aside from that, she appeared to have recovered.

"Mr. Flint," Sydney took a deep breath as she lowered her gaze, saying, "Well... I heard that you wanted me to help you..."

"About that, yes. I'd like to ask you for a favor." Julien said as he nodded.

They said nothing about what had just happened as if it had never happened.

Then, Sydney was able to relax and muster the courage to look Julien in the eyes. "So how can I help you?"

"A few important people from abroad are coming to Port City in two days, and I'm hoping that you could accompany me to the business party. Is that okay with you?" Julien fixed his gaze on her. Sydney was taken aback. "To be your plus one?"

"Yes." Julien nodded.

Sydney pursed her lips. "Do you really need to bring a plus one to this party?"

"Plus ones are sometimes required for business parties." As he spoke, Julien parted his thin lips.

Sydney remained silent. Then she lowered her eyes and thought about the request.

It was true that the attendees sometimes were required to bring plus ones to those business parties.

However, it would be inappropriate if she went with him as a plus one, because plus ones were usually spouses or lovers.

Besides, Sydney had nothing to do with Julie. If she accompanied him, the others would assume they were in a relationship.

Julien lowered his eyes for a second when he noticed Sydney biting her lower lip and hesitant to respond. "It's fine if you don't want to. And I'll take someone else to attend it."

Sydney looked up as she asked, "Who will you take?"

Julien looked at her in surprise.

He thought, "Is she very concerned about me finding someone else as a plus one? Why else would she have such a big

reaction?"

Julien's grip on his tablet tightened as he was overjoyed at the thought. Then he said in a hoarse voice, "Sydney, you mean..."

Sydney also came to her senses and realized that her reaction was slightly inappropriate.

Seeing Julien's slightly excited look on his face, it was obvious that he had been thinking too much. "Sorry, Mr. Flint," Sydney quickly explained. What I meant was that you're free to ask anyone you want. But if you can't find the appropriate one, I can introduce some girls to you."

Julien's joy and excitement were quickly subdued when he heard that. Instead, he became gloomy as he clenched his fists and said, "Introduce girls to me? Sydney, you are so generous!"

She wanted to match him with someone else!

He believed she had feelings for him, but it turned out to be nothing more than his imagination.

Sydney knew she had enraged Julien when she saw his stony expression and pursed lips. She was also slightly embarrassed by her words, so she tucked some hair behind her ear and apologized," Um... I won't introduce anyone if you don't like it. I'll accept your offer."

Julien was taken aback and looked at her." Did you consent?"

"Yes." Sydney shrugged. "I'm also sorry about what happened just now..."

Julien grinned. "It's all right. But it's something I don't want to see happen again. You know you're the only one who matters to me, so what you just say upsets me."

Sydney turned around and lowered her head. She said, "It won't happen again. I also don't have time to introduce girls to you."

"All right, then." Julien fixed his gaze on her. "I'll let you know the location in two days. They hadn't decided yet."

"Alright," said Sydney.
