Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 54 The Goose is Cute and Can Make You Appear More Approachable

Julien's eyes darkened at her words.

Luke quickly slid down and came to Sydney's side." Babe, are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine.”

"Thank goodness." Luke breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, his tone turned impatient and he shouted up the slope, "Hey, hurry it up, Ms. Madden!"

When Lyra slid down, he said rudely, "Don’t think I didn’t see what happened. You knocked into Sydney!”

"I was wearing a helmet and my vision was blurred." Lyra bit her lip and apologized to Sydney. "I'm sorry for bumping into you, Ms. Raines."

"Sydney was right in front of you, not to your side.

You'd be blind not to be able to see her!" Luke waved his hand in front of Lyra. "Ms. Madden, you aren't blind, are you? Do you want me to find a doctor for you?"

"Enough," Julien said unhappily, "I saved Sydney, and Lyra already apologized to her."

Luke sneered. "President Flint, you know how steep this slope is. My darling is only a beginner. If no one saved her after Ms. Madden bumped into her, she'd have broken bones rolling down the slope!

"Can I assume that your girlfriend just attempted homicide?"

"Don't be so aggressive, Luke." Lyra's eyes reddened from anger and her voice trembled. "I didn't see her. If it bothers you that much, I’ll go back up again and let Ms. Raines knock me down."

"Great!" Luke agreed. "Go up and let Sydney hit you, and I’ll save you, and we'll be even!"

"..." Lyra leaned on Julien’s side, her expression becoming more and more fragile and pitiful.

Sydney saw Julien's gloomy face. He seemed to be angered by Luke's aggressiveness, so she pulled Luke to the side. "Let's go back."

"No!” Luke was very upset. "You’re already f*cking divorced Julien but his girlfriend is still bullying you. Are you trying to be a saint?"

Sydney approached him and whispered, "The information for SweetHeart's acquisition was given to me by Hunter."

Hunter had a good relationship with Julien. If Julien asked him to do something, he would do it no questions asked. He would not care about cooperating with Sydney.

Sydney also did not want to let Lyra go, but she did not want Julien to intervene and prevent her from acquiring SweetHeart.

After she finished, Luke weighed the pros and cons.

He snorted coldly and stopped arguing with Lyra, but he turned around to flip them the bird right before he left.

Lyra was furious.

She had never met a man as vicious and b*tchy as Luke Chase!

Lyra saw the man's cold face and whispered, "I was focused on skiing and didn't see Ms. Raines. I also apologized to her, but Luke was still so aggressive..."

She suddenly bent down and coughed several times, her face turning slightly pale.

Julien looked at her expression and could not bring himself to speak coldly to her. He pulled her into his embrace. "With me around, Luke can only make empty threats. He won’t dare to do anything to you. It’s too cold. I'll take you back to the hotel."

"Okay." Lyra embraced him with a faint smile on her face.

When Sydney and Luke returned to the hotel, it was already 5 pm.

She asked the front desk and learned that Michael was in the chess room, so she went searching for him herself. She decided to be a little shameless like Luke and boldly insist on buying Michael's company. The price could be negotiated.

However, no matter what she said, Michael refused to accept and finally got annoyed. "I won't sell SweetHeart no matter how high your price is, so go away!"

He chased Sydney out of the chess room.

Sydney had a headache and wanted to call Luke, but she felt that with how Michael was, even someone as glib as Luke would be unable to convince him.

Furthermore, how could she learn from experience unless she talked to him personally?

Sydney thought of a man and opened WhatsApp. After finding his chat room, she sent a message: [Have you talked to SweetHeart's boss Michael Idris before? He’s so difficult to talk to. He refuses to entertain me no matter what price I offer.]

It was only after sending the message did she realize that something was wrong. Why did she ask that man for something like this? She should have asked Hunter instead.

She wanted to withdraw the message, but the timeframe expired so she was unable to withdraw it.

Just then, the man replied to her message.

[Z-H: Michael Idris is proud and arrogant and doesn’t want his company to be invaded and managed by other people. He asked for funds to save the company before, but the other party asked for the management rights to his company, so he ended up refusing.] [Z-H: He has a bad relationship with his father. You

can start from there.]

The two sentences from the man made Sydney quickly understand.

[SydneyRaines: When negotiating with him, I won't ask for the management rights to his company, but I can raise the percentage of shares acquired or use his father to stimulate him.]

[Z-H: You catch on quickly. Smart.]

The man replied somewhat slowly and with only a few words, but each sentence was very useful to Sydney.

The negotiation skills taught by him enlightened Sydney, and she even learned how to not be at a disadvantage when negotiating with SweetHeart's boss.

[SydneyRaines: Mr. Goose, do you work for Hunter, or do you have your own company? You seem to know a lot.] NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

[Z-H: My name isn't Mr. Goose.]

[SydneyRaines: But you didn’t tell me your name. It's fine. It's just a nickname!]

[SydneyRaines: I won’t delete you. Why don’t you not delete me either? You're a pretty good friend and quite knowledgeable. I also need someone to guide me.]

[SydneyRaines: I won’t waste your time either. You can decide how much each message costs when I ask you questions in the future ]

In the hotel room, Julien looked at Sydney’s messages and laughed in anger.

He just sold her some information because she helped Jayden, but this woman climbed up like he was a pole. There was no end to it.

After a while, Julien finally replied: [Okay.]

[SydneyRaines: You're both knowledgeable and kind! You're just as cute as your profile picture!]

The corners of Julien’s mouth twitched. He could not be bothered to read the message anymore and exited the chat room. Then, he called Zach.

"How may I help you, President Flint?" Zach answered quickly.

"You used to manage one of my WhatsApp accounts before." Julien frowned. "There were so many profile pictures to choose from. Why did you choose a goose?"

Zach felt aggrieved. "The goose looks cute. It'll make you appear more approachable."

Julien was silent.

"President Flint, you took that number back a long time ago. Why didn't you change the picture if you didn't like it?" Zach indirectly expressed that he was not in the wrong. "If you don’t know how to change your picture, I can teach you..." "No need!" Julien hung up the phone.

When eating dinner, Sydney and Luke went to the table where Michael was sitting.

Sydney sat down opposite him with a faint smile." President Idris, there are many vacant seats here. You won't mind if my friend and I sit here to dine, right?"

Michael bowed his head and ate, ignoring her.

"I know that you single-handedly created SweetHeart and cherish it like your own child.”

Sydney folded her hands on the table and said calmly, "After Skylight acquires SweetHeart, I promise that Sweetheart's management rights will remain in your hands. SweetHeart can operate independently. I won't bring in senior management to monitor SweetHeart either."

At those words, Michael finally raised his head and looked at her. "Who taught you to negotiate like this? Your ex-husband?"

Sydney froze.

Michael put down his fork and said, "Your ex-husband has always coveted my company. His senior executives always invite me to dinner to negotiate the acquisition. I was so annoyed that I went abroad to ski here, but then you show up!"

"I divorced President Flint a long time ago.

Information about Sweetheart's acquisition was given to me by another friend," Sydney explained. However, she began to have suspicions.

Michael said that Flint Corporation had said the same things as her.

However, she was taught what to say by Z-H.

If that was true, then the man that night was... Julien Flint?
