Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!
Chapter 556

Sydney watched the person's back and cocked her head in confusion.

'This person is so strange! Not only her behavior but also her hatred for me is strange!'

If she hates me because she bumped into me, she's too narrow-minded!'

'But if it's not because of that, why does she hate me?'

Just as Sydney was frowning and pondering it, her phone suddenly started buzzing.

Sydney gathered her thoughts and took her phone out. It was a message from Sean about the factory renovation.

Sydney replied, "We'll talk about it when I get back." She then put her phone away and hailed a cab to go back to the villa.

Back at the villa, Sydney paused in the foyer.

She was about to change her shoes.

Suddenly, she muttered, "This is..."

Sydney was surprised to see a pair of men's slippers under the steps of the foyer.

The toes of the slippers were toward the door, which meant that the man her friend had arranged to stay in the villa had come and that he was now out.

Sydney frowned. She felt uncomfortable.

She had never lived in the same house with a strange man before. She didn't know what kind of person that guy was, whether he was a good person, or whether he was easy to get along with. Sydney rubbed her brows. She felt a headache.

'Forget about it! Don't bother with him.'

'Whether he's a good guy or a bad guy, I'll stay away from him.'

'I won't see him again in the future.'

Sydney let out a long breath at that thought. Changing into slippers, she went into the living room.

An hour later, she changed into a dress, put on her makeup, and went out again with a delicate clutch bag.

She was going to a friend's engagement party. The banquet was at her resort.

When Sydney arrived there, it was already

9:00 pm.

The engagement ceremony would officially start at 10:00 pm, so she was not late.

Once inside the hall, Sydney took a hangover pill out of her bag and swallowed it. Then she took a glass of wine and stood in the corner quietly surveying the people at the party.

She was looking for a man who was a tycoon in the machinery industry, which was the real reason she came to the party.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have come at all.

Sydney and the woman who was to get engaged tonight used to be classmates, but they hadn't been in touch for years.

It was not necessary for Sydney to accept the invitation.

Sydney took a sip of wine and then kept her eyes on the entrance to the banquet hall.

She didn't see the tycoon in the hall, so the man shouldn't have arrived yet.

She had to keep an eye on the entrance so she wouldn't miss him.

However, after a while, the tycoon did not appear, but a familiar tall figure appeared.

It was Julien!

Sydney's hand shook, and she nearly spilled the wine in her glass. Her mouth dropped open in surprise.

'What's he doing here?'

Sydney immediately put down her glass and walked toward Julien.

Soon she came up behind him and called out, "Julien!"

Hearing Sydney's voice, Julien curled his lips. Then he turned around. Seeing the surprised expression in her eyes, Julien had a smile in his eyes. Although he expected Sydney to be surprised to see him here, he was glad when he saw it with his own eyes.

"We meet again." Julien said gently.

Sydney opened her lips, "Yes, but I didn't expect to see you here. Didn't you say you came to the country for business? What are you doing here?"

Julien smiled, "Attending a friend's engagement party is also business."

Sydney's face darkened, "So by 'business' you mean this party, right?"

"Pretty much." Julien nodded.

Sydney took a long breath. She was angry.

She thought Julien made her a fool.

"Come with me!" She grabbed his wrist and dragged him toward the corner.

They were standing near the entrance. People were coming and going. Sydney didn't like the attention.

Looking at the angry look on Sydney's face, Julien got happier.

He knew Sydney would be angry when she saw him.

She was adorable when she got angry.

When they reached the corner, Sydney stopped. She let go of Julien's wrist, turned to him, and stared at him angrily. "You know I'm here for a friend's engagement party, but you didn't tell me you're here for the party too. Julien, are you making a fool of me?"

Julien shook his head, "No, I just want to see the look on your face when you see me."

"What?" The corners of Sydney's mouth twitched. "What's fun about that?"

"Of course, it's fun." Julien nodded," Because I want to know if you'll be happy when you see me."

Sydney rolled her eyes at him, "Are you kidding? Why would I be happy to see you?"

"You are not?" Julien looked at her.

"Of course not!" Sydney said firmly. Her eyes flickered.

She knew in her heart that she was lying.

The moment she saw Julien, she did feel happy except for the surprise, although she didn't know why. Julien saw through her, but he would not tell. He laughed lowly, "Well, OK. You're not happy with me." Sydney frowned. 'Why did he talk like that?'

Strangely, the anger in her heart over his deception dissipated.

Sydney grabbed her bag tighter. Then she glared at him and hissed, "I don't want to talk to you."

Then she walked past him and was about to go away.

Julien grabbed her arm and asked softly," Where are you going?"

"I'm going to find the man I'm looking for." Sydney glanced at his grip on her arm, but she didn't shake it off.

It wasn't that Sydney didn't want to shake his hand off, but Julien's arm hadn't healed yet. She was worried that if she shook off his hand, it could easily hurt his injured arm.

Julien knew who Sydney was looking for. He laughed lightly, "Mr. Stone from the mechanical industry is upstairs in the lounge."

"He is in the lounge?" Sydney was surprised, "How do you know?"

Julien looked at her, "I already checked it out before I came. Come with me! I'll take you there."

Then Julien let go of her arm, but he took her hand. He took her toward the other exit. There was an elevator there. They would take the elevator up to the lounge floor. Sydney didn't expect Julien to take her hand. She was stunned for a few seconds. Then she tried to pull her hand back from his.

However, Julien had expected it; he kept clutching her hand so tightly that she could not pull it back.

Since Sydney couldn't pull her hand back and she couldn't shake his hand off with force, she could only stare at his back and demanded, "Julien, let go of me!" "We can walk faster if I take your hand." Julien didn't look at her.

Sydney curled her lips, "I can walk just as fast if you let go of me."

"Oh? Really?" Julien's eyes sparkled, then he sped up

his

pace.

Now Sydney would have to trot to keep up with him.

Julien looked back at her, "Well? If I don't take your hand, can you keep up with me?"

The corners of Sydney's mouth twitched," Julien, you're being unreasonable. We're going to meet someone, not to go for a run. Why are you walking so fast?"
