Chapter 996 The mboyant Luke


    Sydney took the agenda. When she was about to read it, there was a knock on the door.


    While opening the folder of the agenda, she spoke, "Pleasee in."


    The door was pushed open. An assistant stood at the door, one hand holding a blue folder and the


    other holding the doorknob. The assistant said, "Ms. Raines, Mr. Chase hase, and he wants to


    meet you."


    "Huh? Luke hase here?" Sydney became confused.


    ‘Why does Lukee now?’


    "Ms. Raines..." Sean, who was standing opposite Sydney’s desk, suddenly got flustered.


    Hearing Sean call her, Sydney looked at her. Sydney knew why Sean became flustered and


    signaled her to calm down. "Sean, don''t be nervous. Don''t worry. I know what you n to say. Go to


    my lounge and have a rest," Sydney uttered while pointing at her lounge opposite.


    Sean squeezed her hands and immediately gave a thankful smile. Then she turned around and


    walked quickly into the lounge.


    At the sight of Sean’s back, Sydney sighed softly.


    Sean and Luke were once the best partners.


    But now, they intentionally avoided meeting each other.


    After rubbing her temples, Sydney looked at the assistant at the door again. "Where is Luke now?"


    "Mr. Chase is downstairs. He was going toe up, but Mr. Dayton stopped him while passing by.


    The two of them are talking at this moment," The assistant replied.


    Sydney frowned.


    ‘Stephen stopped Luke?


    ‘What the hell did Stephen mean to do?’


    Sydney narrowed her eyes and then smiled at the assistant. "Okay, I know it. Let Lukee up."


    "Yes, Ms. Raines," The assistant responded and then closed the door.


    Soon, the door was opened again, and Luke stepped in.


    He wore a white casual suit jacket with a burgundy shirt inside without a tie. Two buttons near the


    cor were unbuttoned, revealing his fair chest. His pants had the same color as the suit jacket.


    But his pants were cropped, exposing his slender and attractive ankles.


    And he wore a pair of white pointed leather shoes, looking very mboyant along with today’s outfit.


    Even if Sydney knew that Luke always dressed in an eye-catching way, she thought he looked


    slightly hard on the eyes.


    Sydney supported her forehead and asked, "Aren''t you cold when you dress this way?"


    Sydney even felt cold when seeing his exposed chest and ankles.


    However, Luke walked toward her with his chin slightly up in a very yful manner. "No. I don''t feel


    cold. I don''t feel it at all. Don''t you think I''m perfectly dressed this way?"


    While speaking, he had already stopped opposite her desk. The next second he performed a short


    dance of Michael Jackson''s moonwalk.


    Sydney covered her lips and smiled. "I don''t think so. I just feel that you are very cold now. Your


    mouth corners and ankles are blue with cold."


    Luke twitched his mouth corners. "Well, don''t pay attention to these trivial things. I don''t care about


    coldness as long as I look handsome."


    "I''m worried that you will get sick." Sydney rubbed her forehead resignedly.


    Luke waved his hand. "Don''t worry. I’m a powerful and sessful president. How can I get sick?"


    He raised his chin, appearing pretty cool.


    Sydney couldn''t help erupting intoughter. "A powerful and sessful president? Are you joking?


    You don''t look like a president. You''re more like a yboy. I''ve never seen a president dress so


    flirtatiously like you."


    In summer, he always wore mboyant floral shirts and big floral shorts.


    Unexpectedly, he also dressed mboyantly in winter.


    Sydney was amused.


    However, it was Luke’s style. If he changed his style one day, Sydney should worry whether


    something wrong had happened to him.


    "Of course, you haven''t seen a powerful and sessful president like me. After all, those powerful


    and sessful presidents are all old men. How can old menpare with me?" Luke pulled out a


    chair and sat down opposite her, snorting disdainfully.


    Sydney rolled her eyes at him. "Who says all the powerful and sessful presidents are old men?


    Ju..."


    When Sydney uttered the syble "Ju", she suddenly realized something and fell silent at once.


    No. She couldn''t mention Julien in front of Luke.


    Although Luke had given her up and wished her and Julien happiness, it didn''t mean that she could


    talk about Julien with him at will.


    Doing so was piercing Luke’s heart.


    "Luke, I’m sorry. I just..."


    "Don''t feel guilty." Luke waved his hand, still smiling. "You don''t have to say sorry. I know you want


    to talk about Julien. It doesn’t matter. I don''t mind you mentioning him. He is your boyfriend. Of


    course, you can talk about him. If I can''t even allow you to mention him for some reason, I’m too


    selfish."


    He smiled, revealing his shining teeth.


    In fact, Luke became unhappy the second she talked about Julien.


    But he returned to normal soon.


    Just as he said, he couldn''t prevent her from speaking about Julien just because he loved her. This


    was selfish.


    He didn''t want to be a selfish person. He had decided from the very beginning that since he loved


    her, he must make her happy. As the person who could bring her happiness was Julien, not him, he


    should let them be together and wish them happiness.


    If he felt sad because she mentioned Julien, she would also be unhappy.


    If so, he broke his promise to keep her happy.


    Looking at his indifferent expression, Sydney moved her red lips. She was trying to say something


    tofort him, but in the end, she didn''t say anything.

    She and Luke had been friends for more than twenty years. She was the person who knew Luke


    best, apart from his parents.


    Even though he was grinning with joy and seemed not to care about her words at all, he must


    pretend to be so. He actually felt bitter in his heart.


    "Luke..." Sydney stared at him with an apologetic expression.


    When noticing her expression, Luke knew that she started to me herself again and feel that she


    owed him again. He couldn''t help but sigh. "Well, Syd, let''s not talk about it. Let''s discuss the


    business. Today is thest day for us to handle the problem with the parts. If we don''t solve it, the


    matter will get thorny. Have you figured out the solution?"


    Speaking of the problem, Sydney became serious and left her guilt behind. She answered, "Yes. I


    n to adopt your suggestion."


    "Mortgage the office building of Skylight Corporation?" Luke looked at her in shock.


    Sydney shook her head. "No. I won’t mortgage the office building."


    "Not the office building?" Luke was about to jump up from the chair, but when he heard her words,


    he calmed down and patted his chest, feeling relieved. "That''s good to hear you won''t mortgage the


    office building of Skylight Corporation. Although I advised you to mortgage it, I don''t want you to


    really do so. Though the old office building was built by your father 20 years ago and it is not as


    modern as new office buildings, it is valuable because it is located downtown. It is not worthwhile to


    mortgage it for an amount of money to pull through. And I am afraid that the bank will not let you


    take it backter."


    After all, the office building was very valuable since it was in a very good location. The bank was


    likely to get it by handicapping Sydney from redeeming the office building.
