"You're mistaken, President Flint. These watches are a couple watches. We're not a couple, so they're not for us. You should take it back and share it with Ms.
Madden."
Then, she took the lid from the manager's hand, covered the box, and stuffed it into Julien's arms.
Julien's face was as cold as ice. He subconsciously wanted to throw the box away.
However, in the end, he held back and threw the box to Zach instead.
Zach looked at the box in his arms and then at Julien, who had an unpleasant expression, and smiled wryly.
'Even if you give it to me, what am I supposed to do with it?’
The manager lowered his head, completely regretting his actions.
If he had known that the watches he took out would put President Flint and this lady at odds, he would not have taken it out.
None of them spoke, and the atmosphere turned frightening and oppressive.
After an unknown amount of time, Julien opened his mouth to break the silence. "Let's go."
Zach hurriedly went forward to help him up.
Sydney also reached out to help him.
However, she then thought about something and lowered her hand.
When Julien saw her movements, the air around him turned cold.
'If you want to help, then help.
'Why did you withdraw your hand halfway?'
The group walked out of the restaurant and came to the parking lot.
Sydney opened her car door and let Davey enter.
Julien saw this and frowned. "Are you going to Hunter's place?"
Sydney closed the backseat door. "No."
"Then, Davey..."
"Davey will come back with me," she looked at him and replied.
Julien's heart felt much more comfortable when he heard that she was not going over to Hunter's place, but he did not reveal his emotions on the surface. He simply nodded to indicate that he understood.
Sydney went around the car and stood outside the driver's door. "I'll be going now, President Flint." "Be careful on the road." Julien nodded.
Sydney was slightly surprised.
He took the initiative to tell her to be careful.
Was he still the Julien Flint she knew?
"What's wrong?" Julien asked in a slightly softer voice when he saw the woman bewildered.
Sydney shook her head. "Nothing. You take care too, President Flint."
A smile flashed in Julien's eyes as he hummed.
Sydney gave him one last look, pulled the driver's door open, and got in before driving away.
Julien stood in front of the Maybach and watched her leave.
Sydney saw him when she reversed the car and found it strange.
This was not the first time she was feeling this strangeness. She felt it for quite some time now.
In the past, Julien never gave her anything more than a glance. However, now, he looked at her more times than she could count.
In the past, he was not willing to say a single word to her. However, now, not only did he talk to her more often, but he also advised her to stay safe.
What was going on in his mind?
Sydney frowned deeply.
At that moment, Davey in the back seat suddenly hugged the backrest of the driver's seat and leaned over. "Aunty, Uncle Julien is still watching."
"Um?" Sydney narrowed her eyes and looked at the left wing mirror.
Sure enough, Julien was still standing in place, staring in her direction.
Sydney pursed her red lips. What was he looking at?
Suddenly, Davey said something that almost caused her to slam on the brakes.
"Aunty, Uncle Julien likes you," said Davey.
Sydney choked on her saliva and coughed several times before barely calming down. She said in exasperation, "Kid, how old are you? Did you just say Uncle Julien likes me? Your Uncle Julien doesn't like me. He has someone else he likes."
"But I can tell that Uncle Julien likes you, Aunty. The way he looks at you is the same as the way my daddy looks at mom," Davey blinked and answered.
"You can tell how someone looks at another person? You're amazing, Davey." Sydney laughed and did not take his words to heart, treating them as a child's joking.
After all, how could a child be able to tell the way someone looked at another person?
