Chapter 725 Hid and Sneaked


    Then she red at him. Her expression indicated clearly “Why are youughing? How can you


    laugh? It’s all your fault. You pulled me to hide under the table and caused me to lose face.”


    Julien fondled Sydney’s cheek and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Don’t


    worry. We won’t be discovered.”


    “How can you make sure of it?” Obviously, Sydney didn''t believe him.


    Julien opened his mouth to reply, but a voice was heard again.


    “No. No other people are in the conference room.” Alice looked around. “There’re only the two of us


    here. Did you hallucinate?”


    “I know there are only the two of us here, but I heard someone talking just now,” the other cleaner


    said. Then she waved her hand and added, “No, no, it’s not talking. It’s a groan. Yes, it’s a groan.”


    “A groan?” Alice blinked. “Why didn’t I hear it? Did you hallucinate?”


    “No. Absolutely not! I did hear a groan.” The other cleaner shook her head firmly.


    “That’s strange. There are no other people except us, but you heard a voice just now. Might there…”


    Alice shuddered and uttered in a trembling voice, “Might there be ghosts?”


    “Eek!” the other cleaner yelled in fright, her face turning pale. “Ugh, ugh! Don’t talk nonsense.


    There’re no ghosts. It’s still in the daytime. Don’t frighten me.”


    “I’m not frightening you. It’s you who said that you heard a voice. But there are only the two of us


    here. Where does the voicee from? I can’t think of anything other than ghosts,” Alice analyzed


    in a serious tone.


    The other cleaner swallowed. “Might... might there really be ghosts?”


    “Who knows?” Alice also trembled with fear.


    The other cleaner tightened her hold on the rag in her hand. “Well, how about leaving here? Don’t


    stay here. The more you talk, the more frightened I be. It’s too frightening.”


    “But the conference room hasn’t been cleaned yet.” Alice was hesitant to leave.


    The other cleaner took Alice’s arm. “Well, let’s not clean. Anyway, it’s not dirty here. And the


    conference room is not often used. Don’t worry. Let’s go. The longer I stay here, the more terrified I


    get.”


    “You’re right. Let’s go.”


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    The two cleaners quickly left the conference room with the cleaning tools like buckets.


    Under the table, Sydney’s face became dark, as she was in anger. “They... How dare they think I’m


    a ghost? They’ve gone too far!”


    ‘Do I look like a ghost?’


    “Yeah, they’ve indeed gone too far!” Julien nodded in agreement. “Ghosts are so ugly and you are


    so beautiful. They have a bad taste.”


    Sydney rolled her eyes at him. “It’s all your fault. If you hadn’t pulled me under the table, would they


    have regarded me as a ghost?”


    She pushed Julien away and sat up. Then she tidied her messy hair. “It’s the first time in my life that


    I’ve hid under the table.”


    “So have I.” After sitting up, he also tidied up his messy neckline and sleeves.


    Sydney said angrily, “It’s all your fault. I asked you to let me go. But you held me and pulled me


    under the table.”


    Julien chuckled. “If we hadn’t hid under the table and had been seen by them, there would be rumor


    tomorrow, even if we didn’t do anything. Do you believe it?”


    Sydney became stunned. “Why?”


    She hadn’t figured out the reason.


    Julien sat on the ground with his legs crossed, looking handsome andzy.


    He raised one finger and exined, “Because it’s been a long time since the press conference


    ended, but we haven’t left here. Do you think others won’t guess what we did in the conference


    room?”


    “...” Sydney fell speechless.


    ‘Julien is right.


    ‘Others will think too much if they know that only Julien and I stay in the conference room for a long


    time.’


    “Besides, something on your face is too noticeable,” Julien analyzed, raising another finger.


    Sydney tilted her head. “What is noticeable on my face?”


    Julien pointed at his lips.


    Sydney’s eyes settled on his lips. His lips were thin, his lip shape was charming, and the color of his


    lips was pink.


    But at this moment, his thin lips were noticeably reddish.


    The reason for the change in color was due to the kiss.


    Since his lips became reddish because of the kiss, so did hers.


    Moreover, her upper lip was thinner than her lower lip, so her lips were fit to be kissed. Thus, after


    the kiss, her lips must be redder than his lips, and her lips might even be a little swollen.


    It was no wonder that he said something on her face was noticeable.


    As her lips were swollen from being kissed, they must be very noticeable.


    As he had just analyzed, even if she and Julien didn’t kiss or hug each other after the two cleaners


    came in, the two cleaners could still guess what they had done before.


    Then rumor would spread.


    “Should I thank you for having pulled me under the table?” Sydney looked at Julien with a half-


    smile.


    Julien gently pushed a lock of hair behind her ear and uttered in a deepened voice, “No. But you


    can do so if you insist.”


    Sydney twitched her mouth. “You are so cheeky. Huh, I’m leaving the conference room.”


    Then she opened the curtain and crawled out.


    Julien also crawled out.


    Now they were standing in the conference room.


    Sydney breathed a sigh of relief. “I don’t want to hide under the table stealthily again.”


    Julien tidied up his suit and chuckled when he heard her words. “But don’t you find it thrilling?”


    “Well, it’s enough to have one such a thrilling experience,” Sydney said while massaging her neck.


    “We were lucky that we weren’t discovered, but we can’t make sure we won’t be discovered next


    time. I don’t want to take a risk, and you’d better not do such a thing again with me.”


    Julien felt regretful.


    ‘Well, if she doesn’t like it, I won’t do this again.


    But in the future, I can take her to hide in other ces, such as bathrooms and balconies.’


    Thinking about it, Julien raised his lips.


    Looking at his expression, Sydney had a bad premonition and gave a shudder, although she didn’t


    know what he was thinking about.


    ‘Julien must be thinking about something bad.’


    “Well, let’s leave here.” Sydney took Julien’s arm and pulled him out of the conference room,


    interrupting his wandering mind.


    Julien stared at her with a smile and followed her obediently.


    When Sydney opened the door of the conference room, she looked around carefully, like a person


    who was going to do something bad.


    Julien was amused by her. “What are you doing?”


    “Well…” Sydney looked back at him. “I’m checking whether there is anyone. If others see us walk


    out of the conference room now, they will definitely gossip about us. We can’t be discovered by


    others, you know?”


    Julien nodded. “I know.”


    “Okay. Let’s cooperate. You look left and I look right,” Sydney said to him, pointing to the left.


    “Okay.” Julien nodded.


    ‘Since she wants to y, I’ll y with her, just as what we did just now.


    Though she was unwilling to hide under the table, she did so for me.’


    Then the two presidents sneaked along the way to not draw others’ attention, and eventually, they


    returned to Sydney’s office without being noticed.


    The moment the door of the office was closed, Sydney breathed a sigh of relief. “It''s alright now. I’m


    relieved. I don’t have to worry about being discovered.”


    Julien stood beside her and responded dotingly with a smile, “Yeah.”


    Sydney stretched and then looked back at Julien. “What are you going to do next? It’s still early.


    Don’t you go back to Flint Corporation?”
