Chapter 972 She Likes Hunter


    Sydney knew that rice followed her at a distance. It didn''t matter, but Sydney felt annoyed by


    rice''s defensive gaze as if Sydney was going to do something bad.


    Anyway, she was curious about why rice asked her to leave the restaurant.


    ''Why does rice ask me to leave here?''


    She didn''t ask rice for the reason because she knew that rice wouldn''t answer.


    ''If I want to know the reason, I have to find it out by myself.''


    Thinking that, she paused and tilted her head to look at rice, who followed behind her.


    Seeing that Sydney stopped, rice tensed and stopped.


    Sydney sneered in her heart.


    ''Now that she is trailing me, she needs to do it secretly at least.


    ''However, she stops as soon as I stop. It''s too obvious.''


    Sydneypressed her red lips. She didn''t expose rice but continued to walk forward.


    Soon, Sydney arrived at her private room. She pulled open the door and walked in.


    rice nced at Sydney''s private room and the Maddens'' private room. Only then did rice


    breathe a sigh of relief.


    ''It''s lucky that Mom and Dad haven''t walked out of their private room.


    ''As long as they won''t meet Sydney here, I don''t need to be worried.''


    Thinking that, rice exhaled lightly and rxed finally. She withdrew her gaze and walked towards


    the Maddens'' private room.


    ''Although Mom and Dad haven''t met Sydney, it doesn''t mean that they won''t meet her.


    ''After, they''re all in the restaurant.


    ''I have to persuade Mom and Dad to leave here as soon as possible in case they meet each other.''

    rice put her hand on the knob, turned it slightly, pushed against the door and walked in.


    As soon as she walked in, the door of Sydney''s private room was opened slightly.


    Sydney''s face showed up from the crack. She was staring at the door of rice''s private room,


    poker-faced.


    She felt curious when rice asked her to leave the restaurant, and she became more curious


    when rice tailed her and watched her move.


    ''Is it because there is something in the restaurant that she doesn''t want me to see? Thus, she


    asked me to leave the restaurant and even tailed me along the way in case I saw it.


    ''When I found that she was trailing me, I pretended not to notice it. I walked into my private room


    and opened the door slightly to observe her. From her behaviors, I''m sure that I guessed right.


    ''After I walked into my private room, she obviously breathed a sigh of relief.


    ''It was because I didn''t see the thing that she cared about.


    ''Then her expression changed again when she stared at the diagonally opposite private room.


    ''I don''t know how to describe the change in her expression, but my intuition tells me that the thing


    that she doesn''t want me to see is in that private room.


    ''Then what is in that private room?''


    Sydney looked down and was lost in thought.


    Julien hade up behind Sydney. Suddenly, he lowered his head and asked, "What has


    happened? What are you looking at?"


    Hearing his voice, she came to her senses, closed the door and turned around. Only then did she


    reply, "rice."


    "rice?" As soon as he heard the name, his expression changed slightly, and his gaze became


    strange.


    Sydney was concentrating on rice''s private room and didn''t notice the change in Julien''s


    expression. She nodded and said, "It''s her."


    He asked with a thoughtful gaze, "Where did you meet her?"


    Sydney didn''t hide it from him and replied, "The restroom. When I walked into the restroom, I heard


    her voice."


    "Did she bully you?" He grabbed her hands, pulled them open slightly and examined them carefully.


    Seeing that he cared about her so much, she smiled and shook her head. "She didn''t. After all, I''m


    not a pushover, but she''s strange."


    "What do you mean?" Hearing that she hadn''t been bullied by rice, he let out a sigh of relief at


    first. Then he frowned when Sydney said that rice was strange.


    Sydney didn''t reply but held his hand and walked towards the dining table.


    Before she returned, the waiter had served the dishes. The table was piled with dished that looked


    delicious.


    He pulled a chair out for her, and she sat down. She took a sip of water and said, "When she saw


    me in the restroom, she panicked. She was afraid of me."


    "Afraid of you?" He frowned and didn''t understand why rice was afraid of Sydney.


    Sydney nodded. "Yes, she was afraid of me. I''m sure about that. Besides, she looked guilty and


    jealous of me. I don''t know why she has such feelings for me. I ventured but didn''t get the answer


    from her. Then..."


    When she said that, she looked up at him resentfully.


    He arched his eyebrows. "Why do you look at me like that?"


    He felt panic-stricken somehow.


    She rolled her eyes at him and withdrew her gaze. "Usually, women are jealous of other women


    because of looks, figures, family backgrounds and lovers."


    Every time she mentioned one condition, she pressed down one of her fingers.


    "Although the Madden family is at stake, it''s still richer than my Skylight Corporation. It''s impossible


    for her to be jealous of my family background. As for appearances and figures, though she''s worse


    than me, she isn''t bad-looking after she puts on makeup and dresses up. Thus, she isn''t jealous of


    my appearance and figure. Excluding these, she must be jealous of my lover."


    Sydney nced at Julien again.


    He felt ridiculous. "So you think that rice has feelings for me?"


    "You''re right." She lifted her chin.


    He smiled. "It''s impossible. Although I''m charming indeed, not every woman likes me. Besides, I


    know the man who rice really likes."


    He stroked her hair.


    She widened her eyes. "The man she really likes?"


    "Yes."


    "Who is it?"


    He said slowly, "Hunter."


    She was drinking water. As soon as she heard the name, she was so surprised that she turned


    around to spit out the water in case she spat out the water on the dishes.


    He didn''t expect her to be so surprised by his words. He fell into a trance, but he came to his


    senses soon. He patted her back slightly in case she choked.


    Then he pulled out a tissue and handed it to her. "Here you are."


    She took it from his hand and wiped the water on her mouth. After she wiped the water, she looked


    at him in surprise. "Is it true? rice likes Hunter?"


    "It''s true." He nodded seriously.


    She had to believe it but still felt incredible. "How can it be possible? She likes Hunter? When did


    she start to have feelings for him?"


    "I don''t know." He shook his head.


    He really didn''t know about it.


    She bit her lip. "How do you know that she likes Hunter?"
