Chapter 34 B*tchy
Julien was looking at the letters in a trance when the bedroom door was knocked on and pushed
open.
"I saw your bedroom light still on and figured you were still working." Lyra came in wearing an ink
blue robe. The belt was loosely tied around her waist, revealing her corbone and a track of fair
skin. She also sprayed perfume on her body, looking very seductive.
She ced the fruit tea on the table and deliberately leaned close to the man. "I made a cup of fruit
tea for you. You’ll feel refreshed if you drink it.
"I''m done working," Julien said. He pulled open the drawer and showed her the letters inside. "I was
grabbing the ink when I saw these letters. I didn''t expect us to have exchanged so many letters."
Lyra panicked for a moment when she saw the letters, but she soon recovered herposure.
"They’re from six to seven years ago. Why are you still keeping them?"
"They have sentimental value." As Julien brushed his fingers over the letters, a smile appeared in
his eyes.
''Because you''re the first woman who moved me.''
Lyra leaned over and wrapped her arms around the man, snuggling her body up to him. "Julien, you
don''t need these letters anymore now that I’m by your side.
Tell the maids to throw them away tomorrow, okay?"
Seeing the man remain silent, she pretended to be upset and said, "If you keep these letters, it
means that you’re still living in the past. Am I, a living person, not as good as these letters? Would
you rather still correspond with me instead of being with me for real?"
Julien, too, felt distressed when he saw her aggrieved look.
Lyra was right. Now that she was by his side, it did not matter whether he kept the letters or not.
Julien stroked her hair. "Okay, I''ll tell the maids to throw them away tomorrow."
"Alright!" A faint smile appeared on Lyra''s face. She could not help but feel something in her move
when she sniffed the man''s pleasant scent.
She quickly and boldly moved closer to kiss his Adam’s apple.
Julien stiffened. When Lyra’s kisses trailed to his chin, he quickly pushed her away instead of pulling
her into his arms.
Lyra had already pulled her bathrobe belt open.
However, the man’s expression did not change even in the face of her temptation. He did not look at
her before he tied her bathrobe for her.
"Julien, we’re already living together." No matter how bold Lyra was, she still felt embarrassed at
being rejected. "You can do anything you want. Or do you
not like me?"
They could do anything intimate as they were already living together, but Julien was not moved by
her seduction.
Julien was also a little annoyed.
However, when he saw the rim of Lyra’s eyes turn red, he could only console her softly. "You just
recovered, and your body still needs to recuperate. Let’s talk about this another time."
"Okay." Lyra nodded and leaned in the man''s arms, but deep down, she was more worried than
ever.
Since signing the contract with You2 Manufacturing, everything Sydney did was smooth sailing.
In a short period of time, she dealt with Skylight’s previous mess, and the situation gradually got
better. She knew that Skylight did not have any money left, so she gave her employees year-end
bonuses and bought them New Year''s goods out of her own pocket.
Sydney was working in her office when her secretary knocked on the door and came in to deliver a
folder. ” Ms. Raines, this is from Mr. Hunter Cohen.”
"What could he have sent me?" Sydney muttered to herself before taking the folder and opening it.
After looking through the document, Sydney found out that it was actually information about
SweetHeart written in great detail. It was as if the information waspiled in order to acquire
SweetHeart.
Sydney immediately called Luke and told him about that matter.
Luke said, "I know about SweetHeart. There are several employees in thispany who are very
good at software development. Otherrgepanies haven''t been able to headhunt them, so
they''ve been secretly watching for an opportunity to take over SweetHeart.
"The information that Hunter sent is really detailed. We might not lose if we talk to SweetHeart''s
boss." Luke said somewhat bitterly, "But mypany recently has had arge outflow of funds, so I
don''t have much money for you."
"90 million should be enough, right?" Sydney asked.
Then, she looked at the information. The acquisition estimate was between 90 to 140 million.
"Holy sh*t. Where did you get so much money?"
"Layden gave it to me."
Luke sighed with envy. "I never expected a male model to have such a high ie. If I go bankrupt
in the future, I''ll work as a male model to make money."
Sydney snapped at him. "Yeah, right. I don''t think you''ll even earn a hundred thousand if you
be a male model.”
"Okay, okay, I get it. To you, anyone and everyone are more handsome than me." Luke clicked his
tongue."
I''m a little curious. If Hunter alreadypiled all the information for the acquisition, why didn''t he
buy SweetHeart for himself? Why did he give you the information?"
Luke added, "Why is he treating you so well? Does he have a crush on you?"
Sydney could not be bothered to listen to his nonsense and hung up the phone.
Soon after, Luke sent another WhatsApp message. [ Darling, today is my birthday. When you were
married back then, you said you were too busy to celebrate with me. Now that you''re divorced, are
you still too busy?]
Sydney had been so busy these days that she had no time to care about things other than work.
If not for Luke’s reminder, she would have really forgotten his birthday.
Sydney smiled and replied to his message. [I remember. I''ll book a table at Club Lunaris to
celebrate for you, and I''ll go buy the most expensive gift for youter!]
Luke had helped her a lot during this period of time, so she really needed to thank him.
[LukeChase: Tsk, looks like I really have to thank Julien! If you hadn''t gotten divorced, you wouldn’t
have had the time to celebrate my birthday.]
Sydney was speechless.
After finishing the remaining work, Sydney left the office.
On her way to buy a gift, she called Club Lunaris and made a reservation.
When she arrived at Audemars Piguet, Ginny, the clerk who used to serve her before, just so
happened to be working today and warmly weed her.
"Mrs. Flint, it''s been a long time."
Sydney smiled and said graciously, "I''ve divorced President Flint. You can call me Ms. Raines in the
future."
"My apologies, Ms. Raines. I went abroad for further studies and only came back a few days ago. I
don’t watch entertainment news much either.” Ginny quickly apologized.
"It''s okay. It''s my friend''s birthday, and I want to buy a watch for him. Do you have
rmendations?"
Ginny secretly sighed in relief when she saw that Sydney was not angry and quickly picked out
several watch models to introduce to her.
N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
The watches were from the same series and were all very good.
Sydney was clearly picking out a birthday present for Luke. However, when she was looking at the
watches, she thought about how good they must look on
Julien''s wrist.
She had bought a number of watches for Julien in their many years of marriage and even became a
VVIP customer of Audemars Piguet. Even so, Julien never wore anything she bought for him.
Sydney was a little lost in thought as she stared at the watch on the satin. Just as she was about to
pick it up, a familiar voice rang in her ears.
"This watch looks good. Could you give me a brief introduction?"
Sydney turned around to see Lyra standing next to her along with anotherdy. They seemed to
have just finished shopping as they were carrying several shopping bags in their hands.
Lyra’s faint smile froze when she realized that the customer looking at the watch was Sydney.
Sydney greeted her politely. "What a coincidence, Ms. Madden."
"Yes, it really is.” Lyra tightened her grip on the shopping bags and asked with a smile, "Are you
here to buy a watch for your boyfriend?”
Sydney hummed in acknowledgment and paid her no attention.
Just as she was about to ask Ginny to wrap up the watch, Lyra was one step ahead and pointed at
the watch, saying with a soft voice, "I''ll take that watch. Please wrap it up for me.
Then, she turned to Sydney with a shallow smile. "I think this watch will look good on Julien. You
wouldn''t happen to be eyeing this watch as well, would you?"
