Chapter 77 Suitor
Sydney and Julien both looked up as Hunter walked over, spinning a car key on his finger.
Julien''s eyes narrowed. He looked at Hunter and then at the woman beside him, furrowing his
brows.
Why did she ask Hunter to pick her up?
Since when did their rtionship be so close?
Hunter was also a little surprised to see Julien. " Julien, why are you here? You’re sitting with
President Raines too. Are you two on a date?"
He pointed at the two yfully.
Sydney put the ice pack to the side and rolled her eyes at him. "What nonsense are you talking
about? I came here to talk about business and met President Flint by chance.”
"Is that so?" Hunter rubbed his chin with an expression of disbelief.
Julien did not say anything but did not deny it either.
Hunter believed it when he saw Julien’s expression and pouted his lips in slight disappointment.
Then, he saw Sydney''s swollen ankle and was stunned." President Raines, what happened to your
foot?"
"Sprained it." Sydney put her shoes back on and understated it.
Hunter tutted twice. "This sprain is quite serious. It must''ve hurt the bone as well."
"That''s why your next task is to send me to the hospital." Sydney looked at him.
Hunter acted as a loyal subordinate. "Sir, yes, sir!"
Sydney yed along with his theatrics and held out her hand to him. "Then, what are you standing
there for? Hurry up and help me up."
"Aye, sir!"
Hunter stepped forward and helped Sydney up from the sofa.
Julien''s expression sank. He watched the two’s interaction with cold eyes and his thin lips slowly
pursed.
Julien''s aura was cold enough to freeze people especially when Hunter put a hand around Sydney’s
waist.
However, neither Sydney nor Hunter noticed Julien''s abnormality.
Sydney''s sprained foot could not touch the ground at all as it hurt to the touch. How could she be in
the mood to pay attention to anything else?
Hunter held her seriously lest she fell, so he did not pay attention to other stuff either.
The two of them did not even say goodbye and simply walked out the hotel door.
Julien''s eyes darkened as he watched them leave. His cold and sullen face was devoid of
expression, making it impossible to see his emotions.
"Check whether that elevator was an ident or manmade," Julien stood up and instructed in a
cold voice.
With Flint Corporation''s development over the years, Flint Corporation had indeed robbed some
enterprises of their interests.
There was no guarantee that the people in those enterprises would not want to deal with him.
"Understood," Zach answered from the side and immediately went to investigate.
Soon, he came back from the investigation. "President Flint, it was an ident. That elevator was
found to have problems in the morning, but the person in charge of the hotel did not stop the
elevator service nor did he notify anyone to repair it. That''s why we encountered the situation."
Zach also got a little scared as he spoke.
Fortunately, they were lucky and the elevator managed to descend safely to the first floor.
Otherwise, the consequences were simply unthinkable.
"Wow." Julien’s expression was extremely unpleasant as he clenched his fists. "Inform the
headquarters personnel to change the person in charge of the hotel. Also, stop the elevator
immediately and send someone for maintenance." "Understood." Zach nodded.
Julien''s eyes shed. "In addition, find out what happened between Sydney and Hunter."
Although those two people knew each other before, their rtionship was average. They were not
much different from strangers.
However, the rtionship between those two grew by leaps and bounds and they could even banter
with each other. Julien did not believe that there was nothing between the two.
Zach looked at the sh of sourness in Julien''s eyes and understood that President Flint was
jealous of Mr. Cohen and Ms. Raines.
However, although that was what he thought, he did not dare to voice it out. Thus, he could only
y dumb and ept the order. "Understood."
Hunter helped Sydney to the hospital and registered at the front desk.
On the other side, Lyra and her friends walked over whileughing and joking.
The first one to notice Sydney was not Lyra, but her friend, Kate.
Kate pulled Lyra''s sleeve and pointed toward the registration window. "Look, Lyra, isn’t that
Sydney?
That''s Mr. Cohen too. Why are they together?"
Lyra’s smile slowly faded and she looked in the direction Kate pointed. Her eyes darkened, but her
tone was soft. "It really is Ms. Raines and Mr. Cohen, but Ms. Raines seems to be injured.”
Her gaze shifted down and fixed on the foot that Sydney had lifted. The redness and swelling on her
ankle were clearly visible.
"Ms. Graham, was this also your idea?" Lyra looked at Macy on the other side.
Macy nced at Sydney’s ankle and shook her head condescendingly. "No."
"That’s strange," Lyra murmured.
Kate said, "Lyra, they''re turning around.”
Lyra looked again.
This time, her gaze met with Sydney''s.
Sydney could not help butugh.
Hunter looked down at her. "What are youughing at?"
"I’mughing at how small this world is. I met Julien in the hotel, and now I’m meeting Lyra in the
hospital. Have you seen anyone else with luck like this?" Sydney responded.
Hunter watched Lyra and the two others walk over, and his expression turned amused. "They''re
coming toward you.”
Sydney could hear the schadenfreude in his tone and nced at him coldly.
Lyra, Kate, and Macy stopped in front of Sydney.
Lyra smiled and greeted, "Ms. Raines, Mr. Cohen, what a coincidence."
"It’s quite a coincidence." Sydney nodded lightly, but her gaze fell on Macy beside Lyra. No one
could tell what she was thinking.
Lyra looked at Sydney then at Hunter. A different light shed in her eyes before it disappeared just
as quickly, and she pretended to be curious and asked," Why is Ms. Raines together with Mr.
Cohen? Wouldn’t Mr. Chase be angry if he finds out?”
Hunter raised his brows.
This woman was trying to provoke the rtionship between Sydney and Luke.
Sydney tucked her hair behind her ear, not looking panicked that she was seen with another man at
all. Her voice was cool and breezy as she replied, "How could he be angry? I have so many suitors,
so he needs to better himself lest I get stolen away by someone else. Of course, he won''t get
angry."
Lyra''s expression stiffened for a moment, and she smiled dryly. "Ms. Raines is quite humorous."
Kate rolled her eyes disdainfully. "Humorous? She''s just being shameless. She already has a
boyfriend, but she''s still fooling around with other men."
"What, are you jealous?" Sydney looked at her with a slight smile. "I have men chasing after me at
all times, but you don’t. Is that why you don''t like me?”
"I... I''m not." Kate''s face turned red.
The corners of Sydney''s lips curled. "Really? Don''t be embarrassed to admit it. After all, you''re ugly
and have no luck with men. It''s normal to be jealous of a good-looking and popr woman like me. I
won''tugh at you."
"You..." Kate was also angry that she was about to cry. However, she had to admit in her heart that
she was indeed jealous.
Hunter saw how Sydney made them speechless in just two to three sentences and smiled in
amusement.

He wondered if Julien knew his ex-wife was so glib.
"Ms. Raines." Lyra pulled Kate behind her. "Do you mean that Mr. Chase is your suitor?"
"Tell her. Are you?" Sydney nudged Hunter with her elbow and then warned him in a voice only the
two of them could hear, "If you dare to talk nonsense, I promise that you''ll have a bad timeter.”
The corners of Hunter’s mouth twitched. He originally did not want to participate and just wanted to
watch the show, but these women already dragged him into it. He had to endure his headache and
stood up to reply, "Of course, I am!"
Compared to Sydney, he disliked Lyra more.
That was why it was better to stand with Sydney.
