Chapter 1019 The Parts Were Back
Seeing this, Sydney laughed, "You sneezed. You must be cold. Your lips are pale. Hurry up and put on the coat. Don't wear such thin and flamboyant clothes just to look nice again. It's chilly outside."
Being lectured by Sydney, Luke was a bit defiant. He didn't think his clothes were thin and flamboyant.
However, as he was about to retort, he sneezed again.
Luke bit his tongue.
He had to admit his clothes were thin.
In just a few moments, Luke sneezed twice in quick succession, and his nose became itchy as if something was going to flow out.
In order not to make a fool of himself, Luke stopped insisting and put the coat back on.
After that, he felt warmer and shivered less violently.
"Syd." Luke took out a packet of tissues from his suit pocket, pulled one out, and wiped his nose. "Are you still cold? If so, I'll let the hotel staff bring a coat for you."
"No need." Sydney shook her head and refused. "I'm fine. The car will be here soon, so it's okay. I don't want to change my clothes anyway. It's troublesome, but if you need it, borrow one from the hotel. After all, you look colder than me."
"I don't need it either." Luke straightened his back and said with a serious face, "I'm much better now."
He thought, 'I'm a man. I can't allow myself to be so fragile.'
Seeing Luke was so stubborn, Sydney shook her head resignedly. "Well, since you said so, don't regret it when you get a cold."
"I won't." Luke patted his chest. "I'm in good health. I definitely won't catch a cold."
As she heard his confident words, Sydney's mouth twitched, and she didn't say anything else.
At this time, the car finally came.
Luke's eyes lit up. He hurried down the steps and pulled open the door. "Syd, get in."
He waved at Sydney eagerly as if something was rushing him.
Sydney, who was familiar with Luke, knew that he was cold and wanted to get in the car, but he was too proud to admit it, so he had to hurry her up so that he could follow her in.
Otherwise, if he got into the car first, he would indirectly admit that he was cold.
Sydney shook her head in amusement. Without exposing Luke, she just rolled her eyes at him and walked quickly over to the car.
Soon after they got in, Luke leaned on the window drowsily with a red face, looking as if he was sick.
Seeing this, Sydney got worried. "Luke, Luke?"
She called out to Luke twice.
Luke opened one eye to look at her. His vision was a little blurry, and even his voice became slurred. "What's wrong?"
"Are you okay?" Sydney asked, sizing him up.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Luke nodded. "Yes. I'm just a little dizzy."
"Dizzy?" Sydney got nervous and asked, "Are you having a cold?"
Luke laughed, "Of course not. I'm in good health. How could I catch a cold?"
"I don't think so." Sydney frowned. "You stood at the hotel gate without wearing your coat. You might have caught a cold. Don't move. Let me check your forehead."
She stretched out her hand.
Yet when Sydney was about to touch Luke's forehead, her hand was grabbed by him. "Don't worry, Syd. I really didn't catch a cold. I'm just a little drunk now. I smell of wine, right? Besides, I'm clear about my condition."
Sydney did not speak, just quietly looking at him.
After a while, she pulled her hand back. "Are you really okay? Are you sure you're just drunk?"
"Yes." Luke nodded his head.
Sydney was convinced by his serious expression. "Alright, then you can go back to sleep."
"Okay, I'm too dizzy to talk right now. I have to rest, or I will throw up later." Luke yawned and closed his eyes again.
Sydney saw him leaning against the car window and falling asleep again, so she didn't bother him anymore. She just whispered to the driver, "Please turn the air conditioning up a bit. Thank you."
"OK, miss," the driver answered politely.
Sydney nodded with a smile, turned to face the window, and looked out the window at the busy city in a trance.
But soon, the sudden ringing of the cell phone in her bag brought her back to reality.
Sydney glanced at Luke. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, she breathed a sigh of relief and took the phone out of her bag. At the sight of the caller ID, she hurriedly covered it up and looked at Luke again.
Luke did not wake up, so Sydney picked up the phone, put it to her ear, and lowered her voice. "What is it?"
Hearing Sydney's low voice, Sean was slightly stunned.
Sean quickly understood. Sydney went out with Luke in the afternoon.
Sean thought, 'They may not have yet separated. Ms. Raines lowered her voice to remind me that Mr. Chase was still with her.'
Thinking of this, Sean was sad and jealous.
However, she did not forget the purpose of her call. After taking a deep breath, Sean suppressed her emotions, calmed down, and said with a straight face, "Ms. Raines, I've got good news. Our parts were sent back."
Hearing this, Sydney froze. Then she sat up straight incredulously with both hands on the phone and exclaimed, "What did you say? The parts were sent back?"
"Yes." Sean nodded and said excitedly, "Just now, the staff told me that the parts had been sent to the processing department. Now they've registered the parts, and not a single one is missing. Ms. Raines, how did you get the parts back?"
Sydney ignored Sean's last sentence. All she could think about was the news that the parts had been sent back.
This was obviously good news, but at this moment, Sydney was not happy at all.
She thought, 'How could the parts have been sent back just like that?
'Dallin is obviously not the kind of person who would compromise and return the parts to her. Otherwise, he would have sent them back after the phone call last night rather than delaying until now.
'So there must be some other reason.
'What exactly is it?'
Sydney bit her lip. "This matter has nothing to do with me. They were not gotten back by me."
"What?" Sean was shocked. "Not you? Then who is it? Could it be Mr. Flint?"
She subconsciously guessed.
Sean thought, 'Mr. Chase certainly couldn't do it.
'Otherwise, as early as the first day the parts were intercepted, he would have made a move.
'So only one person could do that. It must be Mr. Flint.
'Mr. Flint loves Ms. Raines very much. Once he knows she is in trouble, he will not stand idly by, so it's very likely Mr. Flint who did that.'
