That was for sure.
But those students wouldn't be Sydney.
Sydney would always be special to Julien.
He would always be a gentleman to Sydney.
Even now that he was acting as Sydney's teacher, he was gentle and patient with her.
Sydney had feared that Julien would lose patience and think her stupid when she couldn't understand what he was saying.
She knew Julien was never a patient man.
So she had been nervous. She was afraid that Julien would give up on her if she couldn't understand what he was talking about.
She would be embarrassed in that situation. And she needed to find herself a new teacher.
However, it turned out that Sydney was overly concerned.
Julien was very patient with her. When Sydney didn't understand him, he didn't become impatient or think she was stupid. He patiently explained to her until she understood it. He was so patient with her. Nothing made him agitated.
Gradually, Sydney learned that he wouldn't be angry with her and her anxiety finally dissipated.
After her anxiety disappeared, Sydney relaxed and she understood Julien even more easily. In the beginning, there were many things she couldn't understand. Gradually, understanding Julien became easier for her.
From then on, Sydney learned faster and she learned a lot more on her own.
All in all, Julien was a very good teacher. He helped Sydney learn a lot.
She was very grateful to him.
After today's lesson, Sydney was more confident about the next six months of tutoring that Julien would give her.
When she decided to go abroad to study, Julien suggested that he would give her tutoring to help her on the entrance exam in six months and she accepted it.
Although she accepted it, she wasn't very confident about it.
She had no doubt about Julien's ability. She trusted Julien's knowledge.
Julien had several doctorates.
She was sure he would be a good teacher.
But she had no confidence in herself.
She had never studied managing a company. She only had some experience in the few months she took over Skylight. She didn't think she was qualified to be Julien's student.
When she encountered complex cases, such as the papers Julien was teaching her to read now, she couldn't handle them. She needed to spend a lot of time and ask a lot of people before she figured everything out.
She couldn't handle them alone.
As a CEO, that was unacceptable.
Sydney was fortunate that she entrusted employees with integrity, so the projects she had authorized all worked well. If anything had gone wrong with any of them, Stephen would have made a big deal out of it.
