Chapter 1186 Turn the Tables
After all, she seldom took the initiative to engage in such intimate actions, and considering Julien's personality, he would surely ask for more.
Now that she had kissed him, if she didn't make a swift exit, he would kiss her back after coming to his senses.
In that case, it wouldn't be a mere peck on the cheek, but a deep kiss on the lips, and he wouldn't let her leave without fulfilling his desires.
This was why she had to seize this opportunity and make a quick escape.
Sydney swiftly opened the car door, got out and closed the door. The whole process was smooth and efficient, taking no more than a minute.
She wasn't a quick-tempered person, so her amazing speed to finish all these actions showed how "terrified" she would be once Julien recovered his senses.
After getting out of the car, Sydney looked inside through the car window.
However, the window was tinted, and she couldn't catch a glimpse of Julien inside.
Nevertheless, she waved to him through the car window and then walked toward Skylight Corporation after going around the rear of the car.
Inside the car, Julien finally realized what had just happened. He touched his kissed cheek and looked at the empty seat beside him. Then he quickly looked out the window and happened to see Sydney walking around to the rear of the car.
Julien knew that she was going back to Skylight Corporation, so he quickly opened the window on his side.
Halfway through, Sydney heard the sound of the car window lowering and instinctively stopped, then turned to look in the direction of the sound. She saw the handsome face of Julien.
"You kissed me and then wanted to run?" Julien spoke in a low and pleasing voice.
Sydney smiled. "What else should I do? Wait for you to pull me back for another kiss, making me unable to get out of the car?"
Her thoughts hit home, and a hint of guilt flashed in Julien's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He cleared his throat and replied, "I won't."
"Stop it, I know you too well." Crossing her arms, Sydney continued with a smile, "Alright, you should leave now. See you tonight."
With that, she waved goodbye to Julien.
Julien understood that it would be impossible for her to return and kiss the other side of his face, let alone for him to initiate a passionate kiss. With a sigh, he looked somewhat forlorn as he uttered, "See you tonight."
Seeing Julien's obviously dejected appearance, Sydney knew where his disappointment came from. She rolled her eyes and turned to continue walking toward Skylight Corporation.
Julien did not close the window to let Zach drive. He remained in his position, attentively observing Sydney as she made her way towards Skylight Corporation.
It wasn't until she safely entered the building that he rolled up the window and tapped on the partition.
In the driver's seat, Zach heard the sound of the partition being tapped and knew that Julien was signaling for him to leave. He immediately started the car, lowered the partition, and smirked, "Mr.
Flint, it took so long for Ms. Raines to get out of the car. You must have talked for a long time inside the car, right?"
When he mentioned "talking," he was subtly hinting at more intimate matters, like kissing.
However, Julien was not in the mood to respond to Zach's teasing. His face turned cold as he glanced at Zach and said, "I'll deduct half of your bonus this month."
After Julien said this, Zach's entire demeanor changed, his face turning pale. "Mr. Flint, why did you make such a decision?" Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Why was his bonus being deducted?
Wasn't Julien supposed to proactively give him a bonus?
Moments ago, he parked the car and raised the partition, creating a private space for Julien and Sydney, so as not to disturb their intimacy.
He had already considered everything so thoughtfully and carefully for them. However, Mr. Flint not only refused to give him a bonus but also considered deducting it. This was completely unfair!
Zach felt very dissatisfied.
Julien snorted, "You recommended those TV shows and novels to me, claiming they would teach me how to be a romantic and charming man that women can't resist. I followed your advice, but to Leaf, those characters seemed insincere and perplexing, lacking any real charm. Leaf even mentioned that without exceptional looks, my gestures and words would disgust her as well. You nearly led me down the wrong path. I haven't dismissed you yet, and you're still expecting a bonus?"
"Uh..." Zach's mouth twitched.
He never anticipated that this would be the reason for his bonus deduction. He had assumed it was due to some other trivial matters.
"Mr. Flint, I must admit that this truly perplexes me," Zach voiced his doubts as he continued to drive. "How could Ms. Raines find these male protagonists unctuous? I've seen numerous female fans online who adore them, referring to them as their Prince Charming, and none of them have labeled them as unctuous. That's why I assumed Ms. Raines might also appreciate them, and I recommended those works to you. But I never anticipated that Ms. Raines would harbor such a dislike towards them."
Zach still remained unaware that the female fans who adored these male protagonists in movies and TV dramas were predominantly young, mostly teenagers or in their early twenties. Their level of emotional maturity and social experience was somewhat limited, which explained their fondness for these characters without perceiving any flaws in them.
However, Sydney was already a mature woman of 27 years old, with higher expectations and understanding of men, so she felt that the behavior of these male characters was unctuous.
Obviously, Zach regarded Sydney as a little girl and thought that as long as she was female, she might adore those characters. He overlooked the fact that not all women shared the same preferences.
Julien didn't know what Zach was thinking. As he listened to his explanation, he found it to be mere sophistry and remained unmoved by it.
"What do you know about love? You haven't even been in a relationship. It's incredibly audacious of you to offer me advice," Julien remarked, casting a contemptuous glance at Zach.
Zach felt as if his heart had been pierced several times, causing immense pain that almost took his breath away. His hand gripping the steering wheel trembled slightly.
Mr. Flint was really ruthless this time.
It was true that he had never been in a relationship and was currently single. However, this didn't mean he was incapable of understanding love or teaching others about it.
Despite lacking personal experience, he had acquired a wealth of theoretical knowledge on the subject.
Furthermore, when he initially suggested teaching Mr. Flint about love, Mr. Flint didn't dismiss his approach as ineffective. Instead, he listened attentively and even followed his advice.
Now, in the face of an unfavorable outcome, Mr. Flint unjustly placed the blame solely on him, which seemed entirely unreasonable.
He didn't force Mr. Flint to learn in the first place. It was Mr. Flint's own desire to seek guidance in this area. However, Mr. Flint refused to admit his own mistake.
It was really unreasonable!
Even though Zach grumbled to himself, he didn't dare utter such words to Mr. Flint, nor did he display any discontent on his face. He knew all too well that openly expressing dissatisfaction would surely result in his banishment to Aldoria for laborious tasks.
So he had to suppress his grievances, and he still had to apologize to Mr. Flint.
‘Dealing with a domineering boss is truly unbearable,’ Zach lamented to himself.
