Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 315 Lunch Together

Julien lowered his eyes. "It's fine. Let’s continue.”

Sydney placed her phone to the side and hummed.

An hour later, the lecture ended.

Sydney closed her notebook and showed a rare smile to Julien. "Thank you, President Flint. I've more or less figured it out. I'll be fine if I go back and sort out the information again later."

"That's good." Julien stood up. "The factory inspection is at 9:00 AM tomorrow. Don't be late." "Okay." Sydney nodded.

At that moment, the door to the conference room opened, and Zach pushed in a food cart with multiple dishes on it. A mouthwatering aroma instantly filled the entire conference room.

Sydney hugged the notebook in her arms." Since you're having lunch now, I won't bother you anymore. I'll leave now."

"Wait." Julien pulled her arm. "Let's have lunch together."

"Huh?" Sydney frowned.

Julien’s eyes flashed for a moment. "You came to Flint Corporation for a meeting. As the boss of Flint Corporation, there’s no reason not to invite you to a meal. It's just a business meal between partners. You won't refuse, right?"

Sydney looked at him, and the corners of her mouth twitched speechlessly.

Did he mean that if she refused this business meal, she did not value their cooperation?

She rubbed her forehead and sat back down. "Fine. I'll take you up on your hospitality.”

Julien’s eyes softened. "There’s no need to be so courteous. I just had someone order a few random dishes. I hope they're to your liking."

After saying that, he also sat down.

Zach served the dishes while secretly rolling his eyes.

'What do you mean you just ordered a few random dishes? They're clearly all Ms.

Raines’ favorite foods.

'President Flint is pitiful. He has to use coercion just to have lunch with Ms.

Raines.’ "Here." Julien handed the cutlery to

Sydney.

Sydney reached out and took it. "Thank you.

"No need. Have a taste." He pointed to the dishes on the conference table and motioned for her to start eating.

Sydney humored him and tried a dish in front of her.

"How is it?" he asked.

Sydney swallowed the food in her mouth and looked at him. When she saw the expectation in his eyes, she nodded. "It's very delicious."

Julien imperceptibly sighed in relief and also took some of the food. "Then, you can eat more."

The dishes were not from a hotel menu. They were all dishes from Sydney's mother's hometown. The hotel chef did not know how to make them, so he specially told the chef to learn. He had been worried the dishes would not be to her liking.

Fortunately, she seemed to be quite satisfied.

When Zach saw the entire process of how Julien went from being tense to slowly relaxing, he shook his head with emotion.

'The cold and powerful President Flint became so careful in front of Ms. Raines.

If the outside world knew about this, their eyeballs would drop out of their sockets.'

During the meal, Julien barely moved his fork and was just watching Sydney eat.

His heart felt quite satisfied when he watched her eat with her cheeks puffed out.

He wanted to give her food many times, but when he thought that she would refuse, he forced himself to hold back.

After the meal, Sydney looked at the time. It was almost 1:00 PM. She told him that she had to leave.

Julien knew that she had to go to the courthouse, so he did not stop her and stood up to say, "I'll walk you downstairs."

Sydney wiped the corners of her mouth and did not refuse.

That was because she knew that even if she did, he would insist anyway.

When the two of them arrived at the parking lot, Sydney took out her car keys and was just about to press the unlock button when a choked voice rang out behind them. "Julien!"

Julien frowned and turned to look.

Sydney also turned around. She raised her brows slightly when she saw Mrs. Madden and Clarice coming.

When Mrs. Madden saw Sydney, her crying stopped and she glared angrily. "Why are you here?"

Sydney crossed her arms and was just about to speak.

Julien took a step diagonally and shielded her behind him. He looked at Mrs. Madden coldly. "This is my territory, and Sydney is my guest, so it's none of your business why she's here. As for you, why are you here, Mrs. Madden?"

Mrs. Madden did not expect Julien to speak up for Sydney and choked for a moment. "I... I came here to find you."

"Find me?" Julien narrowed his eyes." What for?"

"For Lyra." Mrs. Madden reached out and tried to grab his arm.

However, when he realized it, he pulled Sydney to the side and avoided Mrs. Madden’s hand.

Mrs. Madden grabbed onto the air and almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Clarice pulled her in time, so she avoided falling and making a fool of herself.

"Mom, are you okay?" Clarice patted Mrs. Madden's back and asked with concern.

Julien examined Clarice.

This was Denna Loffe?

"I'm fine," Mrs. Madden shook her head in shock and replied in a trembling voice.

Then, she looked at Julien reproachfully as if blaming him for treating an elder like her this badly.

Sydney could not hold back her snort of laughter.

In this world, there would always be people who could not see their places clearly.

For example, Mrs. Madden was no longer Julien's future mother-in-law, but she still treated him like she was.

Did she think that Julien would treat her as courteously as before?

Sure enough, Sydney had just thought that when she heard Julien's cold and impatient voice ring out, "Mrs. Madden, what are you trying to say?" Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

When Mrs. Madden heard the annoyance in his voice, she shivered and finally realized that things were different now. She could not use her status as an elder to pressure him and make him acquiesce to her anymore!

Mrs. Madden clenched her fists and looked at Julien with red eyes. "Julien, I want you to save Lyra!"

Sydney curled her lips mockingly.

'She came to me to ask me to let Lyra go, and now she came to Julien.

'Good. I also want to see if he’ll agree or not!'

Sydney looked at Julien.

Julien felt the gaze of the woman behind him and guessed why she was looking at him like that.

This time, he could tell her clearly that he would not let her down!

"You want me to save Lyra?" Julien lowered his head and straightened his cuffs with an unreadable expression.

"Yes." Mrs. Madden nodded repeatedly. " Julien, you have to save Lyra."

These days, she had been begging for help everywhere, trying to save Lyra. However, no one was willing to. She was resentful and angry.

Those people used to flatter her like sycophants, but now that she needed their help, they all stayed away from her. To think that she used to put in a good word for them in front of Brandon and Julien! They were so ungrateful!

However, there was nothing she could do even if she was angry. Today was Lyra's trial, and it was the last chance to save her. Once the trial was over, Lyra could not be saved anymore. Thus, Mrs. Madden could only go against Brandon's orders and come to Julien since she was desperate.

"How do you want me to save her?" Julien put his hand down and looked at Mrs. Madden coldly.

Behind him, Sydney frowned.

How?

Was he going to save her?

Clarice, who acted like an invisible person, also suddenly raised her head and looked at Julien.

'Didn't Dad say that Mr. Flint doesn't love Lyra anymore? He even hated Lyra for pretending to be Ms. Madden, so he won't save Lyra.

'Otherwise, Dad wouldn't have stopped Mom from going to Mr. Flint.

'However, it seems like Dad was wrong. It seems like Mr. Flint still has the intention

to save Lyra!'

At that thought, Clarice bit her lower lip, and her heart was filled with displeasure.

'Is Mr. Flint blind?

'What's so good about Lyra? Why does he want to save Lyra?'
