Chapter 1000 Where Is Sean?
When Sydney heard that Luke wanted to go to see who was in the lounge, her expression changed immediately. She raised her voice to refuse. "No!"
In the lounge, Sean stood behind the door anxiously. She clutched the doorknob tightly with both hands and was ready to resist.
Thus, if Luke came here and pushed the door, Sean would be able to press the door and stop him from coming in.
At the same time, Sean prayed that Sydney would stop Luke successfully.
After Sydney refused Luke, Luke's gaze became more suspicious. "Syd, you don't want me to see who is inside. Is it because you have hidden your lover inside?"
Sydney felt ridiculous. "My lover? Don't talk nonsense! Am I that kind of person?"
"Then why do you not allow me to have a look?" Luke rolled his eyes.
"It's none of your business. Anyway, you can't go there." Sydney blocked him with open arms.
He crossed his arms over his chest. "You look nervous. Is Julien inside? No, it's illogical. He's your boyfriend. There is no need for you to hide him inside and stop me from seeing him. Besides, he tends to be jealous. If he were inside and knew that I was here, he would come out and wouldn't be so calm. Who have you hidden inside? Have you cheated on Julien?"
She rolled her eyes. "Do you think that it's possible?"
"It's impossible." Luke shook his head immediately.
Sydney said resignedly, "Then don't talk nonsense."
Luke pointed at the lounge that was behind Sydney. "Now that you haven't hidden your lover inside or cheated on Julien, why do you not allow me to go in? Who is inside? Why can't I see him?"
Sydney put down her arms. "I won't tell you who is inside, but I can tell you that it's a girl inside. She felt unwell, so I let her rest in my lounge. Maybe she felt much better and would like to go out just now. However, when she opened the door and saw you, she was too shy to go out. After all, she's timid."
"Is that so?" Luke arched his eyebrows.
Sydney glared at him. "Of course, it is. How can it be possible that I have cheated on Julien?"
Luke laughed and said, "It's impossible. Alright, I believe you. Now that it's a girl, I shouldn't go to have a look. It's impolite."
Sydney snorted. "Of course, you shouldn't go to have a look. It's time to have lunch. Would you like to have lunch with me?"
She raised her hand and looked at her watch as she said.
She said so on purpose to send him away to let Sean have the chance to leave the lounge.
If Luke stayed in the office all the time, he would be curious about who was in the lounge, and Sean would be worried that Luke would discover her.
And Sydney was also worried about what would happen if Luke saw Sean.
Thus, it was better to take Luke away.
Hearing Sydney's words, Luke lowered his head and touched his belly subconsciously. "OK. I'm hungry indeed. Where would you like to have lunch? In the canteen or a restaurant?"
Sydney smiled and walked towards the rack to take her bag. "You're my honored guest. How can I take you to the canteen? Of course, I will take you to a restaurant outside. What would you like to eat?" "Let's go to have fondue. It's cold today. It will taste good," Luke said as he licked the corner of his mouth.
Sydney nodded. "OK. But I think that you choose fondue because you feel cold."
She said as she glanced at his exposed chest and ankles. She smiled mischievously.
Luke widened his eyes and retorted, "How can it be possible? I'm not the kind of man who feels the cold a lot. I just want to eat fondue. It's not because I feel cold."
Seeing that Luke felt cold but was reluctant to admit it, Sydney felt funny. "Alright, you don't feel cold. You're strong. Do you feel satisfied?"
"That's more like it." Luke raised his chin arrogantly.
Sydney rolled her eyes at him. "OK. Wait for me outside. I need to change my clothes."
"OK." Luke nodded, put his hands into his pockets, walked out slovenly, and hummed a song.
Looking at Luke's back, Sydney pulled a wry face. As soon as he walked out, she walked to the lounge.
After she arrived at the lounge, she knocked on the door. "Sean, open the door. It's me."
Hearing Sydney's voice, Sean turned the doorknob. After Sean opened the door and saw Sydney outside the door, Sean's face was not as pale as before. "Ms. Raines."
Sean greeted Sydney and couldn't help but crane her neck to observe the situation behind Sydney. It seemed that Sean was looking for something.
Without thinking, Sydney knew what Sean was looking for. Sydney smiled and patted her shoulder to comfort her. "Don't worry. Luke has left."
Hearing that, Sean withdrew her gaze and smiled with relief, "Thank you, Ms. Raines. You stopped Mr. Chase, so he didn't discover me. Otherwise, the consequence would be severe. It's all my fault that Mr. Chase noticed that I was looking at him and that he misunderstood you. I shouldn't have opened the door to peep at Mr. Chase. I'm so sorry."
Sydney said with a smile, "It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself. You're in my place. Of course, I had to help you. I have sent Luke away and will take him to lunch. Please stay here for a while. You can go ou after we leave Skylight Corporation."
'Ms. Raines arranges like that because she is afraid that Mr. Chase will see me if I go out in advance.' Sean nodded gratefully and said, "Got it. Thank you, Ms. Raines."
"No problem." Sydney let go of Sean's shoulder. "Just take a rest here. It's time for me to leave. If I go out too late, Luke may come back, and it will be troublesome. Bye." "Bye, Ms. Raines." Sean waved her hand.
Sydney also waved her hand. Then she went to the desk to pack up her things and was about to leave.
At the same time, after Luke smoked, he thought of something and turned around to look at the office of secretaries and assistants that was next to Sydney's office. He narrowed his eyes.
Then he threw the cigarette end away and pushed open the door of the office of secretaries and assistants.
It was not noon yet, so Sydney's secretaries and assistants were working inside. When they heard the door open, they all raised their heads.
Seeing Luke, they greeted him. "Mr. Chase."
Luke nodded to greet them as he glanced at them as if he was looking for someone.
After he looked around, he didn't find the person. He compressed his lips. "Isn't Sean here?"
These secretaries and assistants knew that Sean had been Luke's subordinate in the past and that she had come to Skylight Corporation to be Sydney's secretary later, but they didn't know that Sean and Luke had made a clean break with each other. They thought that Luke still had a friendship with Sean who was his previous subordinate.
Thus, when Luke asked about Sean, they didn't hide it from him. "Mr. Chase, Sean is in Ms. Raines' office. When you went to Ms. Raines' office, didn't you see Sean?"
