Chapter 1021 Sydney Went to the Supreme Grocery Market

Zach knew how much Julien loved Sydney. He was Julien's assistant and he knew how much Julien always cared for Sydney.

Every time Sydney called or messaged Julien, Julien would immediately take her call or reply to her message.

Even when Julien was in a meeting, he would break the rules he had set and pause the meeting to take Sydney's call or reply to her message. And he never missed a single message or call from Sydney.

Today, however, Julien wasn't busy, and he obviously saw Sydney's call, but he ignored it.

'Are they in a fight? If not, why doesn’t Mr. Flint answer Ms. Raines' call?'

Zach wondered what was going on between the two.

'Why is Mr. Flint acting so strange?

'Mr. Flint is so crazy about Ms. Raines, and today he's still handling Ms. Raines’ troubles, so Mr. Flint still loves Ms. Raines. Then it's Ms. Raines' problem?’Zach rubbed his chin and pondered in his mind.

'What did Ms. Raines do to make Mr. Flint so angry? Mr. Flint is not answering her phone.’

Suddenly, someone's phone buzzed, breaking the silence in the room.

Zach looked around and found it was Julien's phone again. But it wasn't a call but a message.

It was from Sydney.

Immediately, Zach quietly looked up towards Julien.

Julien was sitting in his chair, holding a pen in his hands. He didn't seem to be picking up his phone. But he was staring at it. Zach didn't know what his boss was thinking.

Zach's mouth twitched and he said, "Mr. Flint, I don't know what's going on between you and Ms. Raines, but you shouldn't ignore Ms. Raines. Your relationship will be affected. I think you better check the message," Zach advised sincerely.

He knew how much Julien loved Sydney.

Julien had risked his life to get Sydney back.

Zach didn't want to see the two get angry with each other over a little conflict. He knew Julien would regret it later.

'No one is going to be happy. Why don't they talk to each other?’

Julien knew Zach was looking out for him, so he wasn't angry at Zach's suggestion.

Julien frowned and waved his hand. "This is my business. I'll handle it myself. No need to tell me what to do. Get back to your work."

"Yes." Since Julien had said that, Zach could only leave. He picked up the documents and turned to go out.

Julien was alone in the office.

His phone screen went dark.

Julien's lips were pursed into a thin line and his face was tense. He looked in a dilemma.

After a while, Julien let out a soft sigh and picked up his phone.

Earlier when his phone rang, he knew it was Sydney, but he didn't pick up the phone.

When Sydney was in trouble, she preferred to turn to others rather than him. She didn't tell him a thing about it, which made Julien angry and frustrated.

'I'm her man. Why did she ask for help from someone else? Does she think I'm unreliable?'

That was why he didn't answer her call. He wanted to play aloof to make her realize that he was not happy and that he had a problem with it. He wanted to make her realize how terrible it was to be ignored by the one she loved.

Julien knew how childish his approach was because Sydney didn't know that he was deliberately not answering her call and was intentionally ignoring her.

Therefore, Sydney could not realize how it felt to be ignored by Julien.

Julien was just tormenting himself after all. Sydney wouldn't feel a thing about it.

Julien's thin lips quivered. He curled his lips with a mocking smile.

Although he was angry and wanted to punish Sydney, he couldn't stand to ignore her for long.

Now Julien couldn't stand it anymore, and he picked up the phone.

He laughed at himself for being so weak.

Julien rubbed his brow, unlocked the phone with one hand, and checked Sydney's message.

[Sorry, I didn't know you were busy. I hope I didn't interrupt you. No need to call me back. I just wanted to ask you a question. But since you're busy, forget about it. When you come back in the evening, I'll ask you about it. By the way, when will you be back? If you come back too late, let me know, or I'll worry. I hope you'll come back early. I'll cook your favorite food.]

Julien could feel her concern for him.

Julien's eyebrows relaxed, and his face eased. Then he replied with his slender fingers, [I'll be back early.]

After all, Julien was angry alone.

Sydney's message soothed him.

Julien guessed that he would be at her mercy for the rest of his life.

After Sydney sent Julien the message, she didn't receive a response, but she didn’t worry.

She was sure that Julien was busy at that moment, that he hadn't seen the message, and that when he did, he would get back to her.

The moment the message was sent, Sydney leaned back in the car seat and closed her eyes to rest, just like Julien always did. She held her phone in her hands, not expecting an immediate response from Julien.

She'd drunk a lot, and she felt dizzy at the moment.

But she wasn't as drunk as Luke, who was completely drunk and now asleep. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Sydney was not sleepy.

Not long after Sydney closed her eyes, her phone suddenly buzzed.

Sydney was startled. She almost threw her phone out. Luckily, she came back to her senses in time.

Sydney opened her eyes and sat up straight. She lifted the phone up.

It was a message from Julien. Sydney smiled, and she quickly checked his message.

It was a simple message, no more than ten words. Compared to her considerate message, Julien’s reply was indeed explicit. Sydney felt a slight sense of loss.

But she soon gathered herself.

Despite the brevity of the message, she felt happy that Julien had found the time to reply to her message.

Sydney tidied her messy hair and replied, [Okay, I'll wait for you. Be safe when you get back.]

After sending the message, Sydney guessed that Julien would be busy and unable to respond to her, so she put her phone in her bag. Then she said to the driver, "Please drop me off at the supreme grocery market near Shallow Bay. I'm going grocery shopping. Then you can drop him off at Chase Mason and leave my car there. No need to bring the car around for me."

"Yes, ma'am," the driver responded with a smile.

Sydney nodded and leaned back in her seat.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the supreme grocery market near Shallow Bay.

Sydney got out of the car. She asked the driver to give her a call after dropping Luke off at the Chase Mason. Then she went into the market.
