"What did Dereon report to you?" Sydney rubbed her brow.

Julien picked up his cup and took a sip of coffee. "This is the first time he has reported to me something about Skylight. I had instructed him to report to me only when important things happened."

"I see." Sydney nodded. "Dereon also attended today's shareholders' meeting. You must have known all the contents of the meeting, right?"

"Yes." Julien nodded.

Sydney grunted. "Then why did you call and ask me?" "Because I wanted to hear your voice," Julien said in a low voice.

Sydney blushed and subconsciously sat up straight. "Is... Is my voice that appealing?"

"Yes." Julien raised his chin. "And I miss you."

Sydney's face became even redder. She touched it. Her face was hot.

She hurriedly fanned herself with her hand, trying to cool her face.

But it was useless. Her face became even hotter because of her nervousness and racing heartbeat.

"Don't... Don't talk nonsense," Sydney murmured as she lowered her head.

"I'm not talking nonsense. I'm serious, so Sydney, let's eat together tonight, okay?" Julien said.

Sydney opened her red lips. She wanted to refuse but finally said OK.

Hearing her reply, Julien smiled brightly." Then I'll come over to you this afternoon."

"Okay." Sydney nodded.

Since she had already agreed, what else could she say?

She couldn't prevent him from coming over.

Moreover, they would be together in half a month, so they would eat together often by then. It just happened a little earlier.

Sydney rubbed her cheeks. After calming down, she asked, "By the way, you called me just to ask about the shareholders' meeting?"

Julien put down the coffee cup. "Yes. You did a great job today."

Sydney smiled and shook her head. "I can't take credit for it. Grandpa, Luke, and Cay helped me a lot. If they hadn't secretly acquired shares in the past six years. I'm afraid I wouldn't have gotten Skylight back.

Hearing these words, although Julien knew that what she said was true, he got somewhat jealous.

After all, he did not help her in this matter.

As if she had sensed that he was depressed, Sydney ruffled her hair and said, "If you had not asked your branch to cooperate with Skylight, Skylight wouldn't have gotten back on track so soon. Thanks a lot." "You don't need to thank me. One should do some things for their beloved people." Julien's lips curved again. He was cheered up by Sydney's words.

They talked about some other things for a while before hanging up the phone.

Sydney looked at the phone with a smile, put it on the table, picked up a pen, and began to work.

In the afternoon, Sydney pushed the finished documents to the side and looked at the clock on the lower right corner of the computer screen. It was already 5:30, and there was half an hour before the end of the day.

She guessed Julien would be here soon.

Thinking of this, Sydney turned off the computer, picked up the receiver, and called Sean.

Soon, Sean came in. "Ms. Raines." "Hand these documents out." Sydney pointed at the pile of documents she had just dealt with.

Sean nodded. "Okay."

She stepped forward, picked up the documents, and walked towards the door.

Sydney got up and started to pack her things, ready to leave work.

Suddenly, there was a shriek from Sean at the door, followed by the sounds of a heavy object and many other things falling to the ground.

"What's going on?" Sydney hurriedly stopped packing her bag and looked up at the door.

Sean was sitting in the doorway with a frightened look, and a dozen documents were scattered on the ground beside her.

So the sounds just now were from Sean and the documents.

"Sean, you..."

Sydney was about to ask what had happened when a sharp voice came from outside the door. "What are you doing? Are you blind? How dare you hit me!"

As Sydney heard this, her face instantly darkened.

She already knew what had happened to Sean.

Sean must have bumped into Madeline, who came over when Seam opened the door with the documents in her arms.

Sydney didn't know if Madeline was hurt, but Sean had been knocked to the ground and was wincing in pain.

But Madeline's voice was loud. It seemed that she was fine.

Then how could Madeline have the nerve to say that Sean hit her?

Moreover, this was Sydney's office.

Madeline shouldn't have come over without permission.

Thinking about this, Sydney walked over with a sullen face, helped Sean up, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Sean nodded gratefully. "Yes. Thank you, Ms. Raines."

"Are you hurt?" Sydney was still uneasy. "If so, you must tell me. Don't hide it."

"Don't worry. I know. I'm fine. It's just a bit painful. I'll be all right in a while." Sean adjusted the glasses on her nose and smiled.

Sydney nodded. "That's good."

At this time, seeing the two of them talking without even looking at her, Madeline, who was unwilling to let Sean go, said arrogantly with her hands on her hips, "Sydney, your secretary bumped into me, and you didn't even ask me about it?"

"I didn't bump into her." Sean hurriedly explained, "Just as I was about to open the door, it was pushed open by her, and I was knocked down. I didn't touch her at all.

Believe me, Ms. Raines."

"I believe you." Sydney patted Sean's shoulder with a smile and turned to look coldly at Madeline. "Did you hear that? My secretary didn't bump into you." "She has no evidence! Who can testify?" Madeline sneered.

Sydney raised a finger and pointed upward, "Can the surveillance camera testify?" "What?" Madeline's expression changed drastically. The disdain on her face was replaced by panic. "Surveillance camera?" She hurriedly looked up at the place where Sydney was pointing and found a small camera hanging in the middle of the upper door frame.

Madeline looked frightened.

Sydney stared at her mockingly. "Do you insist that my secretary hit you? If so, I will take the surveillance video to the police and sue you for slander. Once you disgrace Skylight, I will be able to fire you, and you will become a laughing stock, who has got and lost the position of vice president in the shortest time."

"You..." Madeline's face twisted in anger. She clenched her hands at her sides.

Sydney looked down at Madeline's fists." So you want a fight? As long as you hit anyone, you will be sued for assault and be sent to jail." "Alright, you win!" Hearing what Sydney said, Madeline didn't dare to make a move. After saying the tough words, Madeline unclenched her fists.

Seeing this, Sydney looked at Sean, who had already picked up the documents, and said, "You can go now."

"Ms. Raines, let me stay with you. What if she..." Sean glanced at Madeline warily.

Sean was worried that Sydney would be bullied by Madeline. Sydney understood it and smiled. "Rest assured that nothing will happen to me. Just go and do your things."
