Chapter 1038 A Rumor
Seeing that Sydney was reluctant to tell him, Julien arched his eyebrows and didn''t force her. He
smiled faintly and said, "Alright, don''t talk about Zach anymore. If you mention other men all the
time, I will be jealous. Why are you calling me? What do you want to say?"
Sydney twisted her lips. "Why are you so sure that I''m calling you because I have something to talk
about to you? Maybe I feel bored and would like to chat with you."
Julien chuckled. "I know that you''re not the kind of person who likes to chat with me during working
hours."
Julien tapped his finger on the phone screen and signaled her to look back.
Sydney turned around to have a look. Bookshelves were behind her back.
Julien meant that she was in her study, and thus she was also working like him.
What Julien had said was right. During working hours, except for business, she wouldn''t call or text
anyone to chat.
Julien was the same.
Sydney called him during working hours this time. It meant that she had something to talk about to
him.
Sydney smiled. "Alright, now that you know me so well, I will..."
"Reward me?" He interrupted her.
Sydney rolled her eyes. "Don''t interrupt me. Why should I reward you?"
"I know you well. Shouldn''t you reward me?" Julien looked at her.
Sydney twisted her lips. "I also know you well. Will you reward me?"

"I will." Julien nodded without hesitation. "What do you want? As long as I know what you want, I will
get it for you."
Julien said as he looked at her seriously.
Sydney felt shy. "I don''t need you to reward me. Let''s get down to business. The Flint Corporation
will cooperate with the Chase Corporation for a trading port. Is it the gift for Luke that you mentioned
last night?"
"How do you know that?" A trace of hidden sharpness shed through Julien''s eyes. "I didn''t tell
you that the Flint Corporation would cooperate with the Chase Corporation for a trading port."
Sydney took a sip of water. "Luke told me that. Just now he called me and asked if I knew about it
and knew the reason. I thought of what you had saidst night and told him that it was the gift you
gave him to thank him."
Julien had a moment of enlightenment and nodded. "You''re right. I''m reluctant to owe others favors.
The Chase Corporation needs it recently, so I gave it to them."
Sydney said with a smile, "At first, Luke was reluctant to ept it. After I persuaded him, he
epted it."
Julien said, "Even if you hadn''t persuaded him, he would have epted it finally. His father wouldn''t
allow him to do as he wished. His father wants to cooperate with a suitable trading port recently. It''s
rted to the Chase Corporation''s revolution. I sought cooperation with them actively. His father
wouldn''t miss the chance. If Luke had the guts to refuse, his father would break his legs."
Sydney covered her mouth and burst intoughter. "It''s quite possible, so my persuasion helps Luke
keep his legs."
"Pretty much." Julien lifted his chin.
Sydney giggled. "It seems that Luke needs to thank me."
Julien moved his lips and was about to say something. Suddenly, Sydney heard someone knocking
on the door on the phone.
Julien frowned and felt unsatisfied that someone had interrupted his chat with Sydney, but he said
to the person outside the door, "Pleasee in."
The door was opened. A secretary came in. "Mr. Flint, the guest who made an appointment with you
yesterday is waiting for you in the reception room."
"I see. I will go to see himter. Please go to entertain him first." Julien nodded slightly and waved
the secretary away.
The secretary nodded, nced at Julien''s phone and left.
After the secretary walked out of the office, Julien closed the door, leaned against the door and
patted his chest in relief.
''Mr. Flint was having a video chat with Ms. Raines, and I disturbed them. No wonder Mr. Flint''s gaze
was filled with dissatisfaction as if he wanted to kill me as soon as I walked in.
''Thus, it''s not strange that he felt dissatisfied.
''I walked into his office at a bad time.
''Luckily, although he felt unsatisfied, he wasn''t angry with me.
''Otherwise, I would lose my job.''
The secretary smiled bitterly, put down his hand and walked towards the elevator.
''It''s a difficult task to talk with Mr. Flint directly.
''I may anger him by ident and lose my job.
''I''d better leave this kind of task to Zach.''
He shook his head and walked into the elevator.
At the same time, in the president''s office, after the door of the office was closed, Julien''s face
softened as he looked at the phone screen.
When Julien was about to say something, Sydney suddenly smiled at him. "I heard that you had a
guest."
Julien nodded. "He is my grandfather''s friend during my grandfather''s lifetime. He has business with
my family. He came here to ask for help this time."
"I see." Sydney nodded. "Now that he is your grandfather''s friend, go to see him and don''t keep him
waiting for too long. I''m calling you because I want to confirm if the trading port of Chase Group is
your gift for Luke. I have confirmed it and have nothing else to say. I will get out of your hair now. If
you have something else to say, say it when we return home after work."
Now that Sydney said so, Julien didn''t have any reason to refuse.
Also, Julien was reluctant to keep Jared Downey waiting for too long. Jared was not only his
grandfather''s friend but also one of his teachers.
Jared was an economist when he was young. Most of Julien''s economic knowledge was taught by
Jared.
Jared had contributed to Julien''s achievement.
Besides, Jared was very nice. Except for that he spoiled his granddaughter and blindly defended
her for some things, he almost didn''t have any other shorings.
Thus, Julien was respectful to Jared and reluctant to keep him waiting for too long.
Julien looked at Sydney and said, "OK. I will go to see Mr. Downey first and will introduce him to you
at the banquet of the shopping mall."
Sydney nodded. "OK."
"Bye."
Sydney smiled. "Bye."
Julien looked at her with affection and ended the video chat with reluctance.
After Julien ended the video chat, Sydney smiled, put away her phone and was about to start to
work.
Suddenly, the door of Sydney''s office was pushed open. Sean rushed in. She walked so fast that
her face turned red.
Seeing that, Sydney was shocked. She blinked and asked, "What has happened?"
Usually, Sean was polite. Every time she went to see Sydney, she would knock on the door. She
wouldn''t push open the door ande in until she got permission from Sydney unless something
serious had happened.
Sean walked in without knocking on the door this time. It must be because something serious had
happened.
As expected, after Sean paused for breath, she looked at Sydney and said, "Ms. Raines, you''re in
trouble. There is a rumor about you."
"What?" Sydney fell into a trance. She didn''t understand Sean''s words until a few secondster.
Then she asked with a strange expression, "Did you say that there was a rumor about me?"
"That''s it." Sean nodded.
Sydney twisted her lips. "How can it be possible? I''m not a star. Why is there a rumor about me?"
Sydney said as she smiled and didn''t take it seriously.
Sean said, "Although you''re not a star, you''re a public figure. Don''t forget that you''re the president of
Skylight Corporation and Mr. Flint''s girlfriend. Thus, all eyes are on you. Also, you have been
trending topics online several times. You''re as famous as top stars. Many people pay attention to
your moves online. Someone took photos of a man and you entering and leaving the hotel. Thus,
there is a rumor about you."
