Chapter 941 Reward You Tonight
The first netizen to see the tweet thought it was an illusion.
He rubbed his eyes, refreshed the page, and found the tweet was still there.
It was real.
Too excited to read it, he couldn't wait to spread the news of the update.
Since Julien registered his account, he had rarely posted anything. In fact, there were only two updates on his Twitter page, and one of them was the notification of his registration. Without a doubt, the new update was surprising.
When the netizen was spreading the news, even his hands on the keyboard trembled with excitement.
His effort paid off. Soon, the entire web learned about it. A post titled 'The CEO of Flint Corporation's New Tweet' ranked 5th on the trending topic chart.
It showed that Julien's popularity was not inferior even to that of those superstars.
They didn't complain when topics about them were outdone.
After all, Julien was an entrepreneur and at a different level.
After the topic became trending, some people finally started to pay attention to the content of his tweet.
There was only a simple line. "No, I'm not your honey. I'm @Sydney from Skylight Corporation's honey. Only she can call me that. Everyone else should give up."
It was a warning to the crowd, but the netizens were not offended at all. On the contrary, they cheered excitedly and praised his devotion.
Then he earned another nickname 'Penelope in the Odyssey' after 'Leonardo DiCaprio in the business world'. It was quite hilarious.
At the same time, more people started to envy Sydney.
It was just a joke that they called him honey. Everyone, including Julien, knew it.
Many male celebrities in the entertainment industry were called that way regardless of whether they were single, taken, or married. It was a term of endearment by the netizens, and they accepted it with ease. No one, even the wives or girlfriends of those celebrities, had ever made a statement against it like this. They were not even jealous because they knew it was not real.
But Julien did so, which showed how much he loved Sydney.
Even though he knew that Sydney might not be upset about it, he cared about her feelings and made it clear to the netizens that he didn't like anyone other than Sydney to call him honey.
The netizens were touched by his resolution, devotion, and chivalry.
As a result, Julien's popularity online reached a new high. Those celebrities could only admire him.
In the office, Sydney didn't know anything about the buzz on the Internet.
She was busy reviewing the files submitted by different departments.
It was not until Sean handed in the finished cost report and told her about the buzz that Sydney learned what Julien had done.
When she read the tweet, she was so touched that her eyes stung. "He's..."
"Mr. Flint is so sweet," Sean said enviously, looking across the desk at her.
Sydney nodded and clutched her phone. "Yeah, he has been very nice to me since we got back together."
He even tweeted to warn the netizens for her sake.
This was not something he would do in the past.
It was sweet.
He was so silly and cute.
"Mr. Flint confessed his love to you in the tweet. Aren't you going to reply to him?" Sean looked at Sydney's phone and advised her excitedly.
Sydney rolled her eyes. "I think you're eager to spill the tea."
Sean smiled awkwardly. "Bingo."
"See? I know about you," Sydney joked. "Beneath your donnish look is someone who also likes gossip, just like those young employees who have just graduated." As Sydney saw through her true color, Sean couldn't help but blush.
Sydney waved her hand, "Alright, you can go back to your work. When you're around, I don't know how to reply to him. If you wanna know, just check it out online later." Sean's eyes lit up. "Okay, I'll leave you to it."
"Go ahead." Sydney waved her hand.
Sean turned around and left.
Sydney unlocked the phone again and read the tweet with a smile.
Truth be told, she was surprised and then amused when she saw the netizens calling him honey. She even wondered what it would be like when they called out to him in that way at the same time. She wondered how he was going to react.
She was not jealous or upset about it at all.
It was just a joke from the netizens and could not be taken seriously.
She was not so petty to wrestle with them.
Unexpectedly, Julien took it seriously and made it clear to the netizens that they shouldn't call him that. He also stated that only she could call him that way.
His statement really touched her.
Presumably, the netizens now envied her even more. Any woman would be proud of having such a popular husband.
She chuckled behind her hand and retweeted Julien's tweet with a reply. "Thank you, I'll reward you tonight!"
After it was posted, she blushed and turned off the screen. Her heart was racing, and she pinched her thigh to relieve the embarrassment.
Her reply was bold and implicit, but everyone could figure out what her so-called reward was.
She had never cued him like this, and it could be seen by everyone.
The action of this man had greatly pleased her. She couldn't help it.
In response to his confession, she thought that she should be bolder to give him some benefits.
He was worth it.
Julien had set an alert to messages from Sydney, so his phone dinged the moment Sydney retweeted his tweet with a message.
He quickly checked it out. After he read the content, his eyes narrowed, and his face was marred with disbelief.
It was real. Julien soon regained his composure. With a chuckle, he left a comment. "Good."
She had never been so bold. In this aspect, he was always the active one.
Presumably, she suddenly promised to reward him because she was touched by his tweet.
He was quite content with his statement, which yielded a reward.
