Yet Sean was panicking at the moment.
Why?
Of course, because she didn't want her lie to be exposed.
It was not like she was really leaving the country, so how could she possibly let Sydney see her off? Her lie would be exposed if Sydney went there.
Sean held the cell phone with both hands and hurriedly explained, "Because I bought a ticket for an 11 PM flight. It's late, so I don't want to let you go back and forth. It's too troublesome. Besides, if you go to see me off so late at night, Mr. Flint will definitely not feel at ease."
That was true.
Sydney rubbed her chin. "But why did you choose such a late flight?"
Sean continued to lie. "To catch up on my sleep on the plane so that when I get abroad, I can immediately go to work."
"I see. Alright, then I won't see you off, but send me a message to let me know you board the plane smoothly. Otherwise, I won't be relieved," Sydney said.
Knowing that Sydney had given up on the idea of going to see her off, Sean breathed a huge sigh of relief. "Okay, Ms. Raines."
"Okay, I'll leave you alone then. I'm hanging up." Sydney looked at the time. It was getting late.
Sean didn't want to continue talking to Sydney either. The more she talked, the more she felt sorry.
In the end, she was even more afraid that she couldn't withstand the guilt inside her and would just confess everything.
So after Sydney offered to hang up, Sean was relieved.
"Okay, bye, Ms. Raines."
"Bye."
After hanging up, Sean put the phone down, and her strung nerves relaxed.
Luke walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed, looking at Sean with a faint smile. "I didn't expect you to lie so calmly."
Listening to Luke's sarcasm, Sean laughed to herself in her heart and said evenly, "That was what you asked for, Mr. Chase. In order to not let Ms. Raines know you brought me here, you asked me to resign. Since I could not tell Ms. Raines the truth, I could only lie."
"Oh? So you're blaming me?" Luke narrowed his eyes.
Sean looked away. "No, I'm just blaming myself."
She blamed herself for not pushing him away in the first place and not aborting the baby early.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have come to this.
Yet Sean was curious how Luke knew she was pregnant and that she wanted to abort the baby.
And Luke knew it so accurately that he arrived at Sean's place before her surgery.
It all so intrigued her curiosity.
Sean didn't know how Luke learned all this, and the only thing she knew for sure was that Sydney hadn't told Luke those things.
Because Sydney had never asked Luke, she didn't know that he knew about Sean's pregnancy and had come to stop Sean from aborting the child.
The reason why Luke knew the truth had to be speculated.
"What are you thinking?" Luke couldn't help but ask when he saw Sean's eyes flickering.
Sean avoided his gaze. "Nothing."
She had no intention of directly asking Luke how he knew all this.
She knew she wouldn't get an answer even if she asked.
Luke wouldn't tell her.
So it was better not to ask.
Maybe when more time passed, she'd figure it out.
Seeing that Sean hid it and didn't say anything, Luke scowled and then stood up. "Alright, it's getting late. I have to go. Just stay here. The maid will come over to take care of you in a while. If there's nothing going on, don't contact others or go out, or else I don't know what I'll do. Do you understand?"
Sean jerked her head up to look at him, her face pale. "Mr. Chase, you want to lock me up?"
Luke let out an enigmatic laugh. "If you like, it's not impossible."
