Chapter 82 Do You Disdain Me?
Chapter 82 Do You Disdain Me?
Lyra lowered her eyelids to cover the dark look in her eyes, but her mouth replied in a panic, "I didn't. You've misunderstood me, Ms. Graham. I..."
"You don't have to say it!" Macy interrupted with a sneer. "Lyra Madden, listen closely. We're done. I'll never let you off. Just wait and see!"
Macy hung up the phone right after she spoke.
Lyra looked at the phone screen and pursed her pale lips.
She had already seen the news of the Graham family's incident in the morning and had long prepared for Macy to blame her.
However, she did not expect Macy's hatred for her to be so deep that she threatened not to let Lyra go.
Lyra's palms shook and her heart began to get a little nervous.
Although the Graham family had lost power and influence, they were still government officials, so they could still deal with her or the Madden family. Lyra had to do something about it.
Thinking about this, Lyra bit her lower lip and pinched her arm hard, causing tears to flow immediately. She took her bag out of the room and let the driver drive her to Flint Corporation.
Everyone in Flint Corporation knew her, so no one stopped her.
Lyra went up to the top floor smoothly and pushed open the door of Julien's office.
"Julien..." Lyra walked in with tears in her eyes and choked up as she called Julien.
Julien was talking to Hunter about work when she suddenly entered during an important part, so they had no choice but to stop.
"Hm? What's wrong, Ms. Madden?" Hunter rubbed his chin and looked at Lyra teasingly.
Lyra ignored him and only looked at Julien with tears in her eyes.
Julien put down the documents in his hands and stood up. He frowned and asked, "Lyra, what's wrong?"
Lyra's lips curled and she ran straight at him, throwing herself into his arms.
Julien's arms were suspended in the air for a few seconds before he lowered them and wrapped them around her shoulders. He patted her back gently.
"You go out first," he said to Hunter.
Hunter shrugged and gave a meaningful glance at Lyra in Julien's arms before turning around and going out.
Only Lyra and Julien were left in the office.
Lyra withdrew from his arms and raised her head, saying in grievance, "Julien, Ms. Graham's family is in trouble, and she's blaming everything on me. She said that she won't let me off. I... I didn't tell her to harm Ms. Raines. Why is she blaming me? I don't understand."
"Harm Sydney?" Julien's eyes narrowed. "What happened?"
Lyra was a little angry in her heart.
She told him too much.
However, he only caught those two words!
Although that was what her heart thought, she did not dare to reveal it and simply sobbed. "Yesterday, Ms. Graham came to see me in the hospital. I said that I was kidnapped by Ms. Raines's suitor, and Ms.
Graham said that she’d help me take revenge on Ms. Raines. I tried to stop her but she didn't listen, and now she's blaming me, saying that I harmed her and the Graham family..."
She burst into tears as if suffering from a great grievance.
Julien saw her crying and felt heartbroken. He lifted her head and drew a napkin to wipe her tears." Alright, stop crying."
"Julien, Ms. Graham said she won't let me off. What should I do? I'm so scared." Lyra's eyes were red as she looked at him
Julien's pursed lips were slightly cold. "Don't worry, I won't let her hurt you."
"Okay. I believe you, Julien." Lyra sniffled and leaned on his chest with a dependent look.
However, where he could not see, the corners of her mouth curled up imperceptibly and a dark light of triumph flashed in her eyes.
With his protection, Macy would not be able to do anything to her.
That was because the Flint family was not ordinary businessmen.
"Are you still scared?" Julien's thumb wiped away the last of Lyra's tears from the corner of her eyes.
Lyra shook her head. "I'm not scared anymore. Julien, you're so good to me."
"You're my fiance. Of course, I'll be good to you. Besides, I told you six years ago when we first met that I'd protect you for life. Have you forgotten?" Julien looked at her with gentle eyes.
Lyra broke into a smile and nodded. "Of course, I remember. I just didn't expect that you'd remember too."
"I won't forget. I remember everything about you firmly in my heart." Julien tapped the side of his head.
Lyra's eyes flickered slightly, and her smile turned a little unnatural. "The past is in the past. Many of my habits have changed, so you should just forget them, Julien."
"Forget them?" Julien frowned.
Lyra wrapped her arms around his neck. "Yes. Is it bad to remember me as I am now?"
Julien looked at her expectant gaze and his thin lips moved. "Okay."
"You're the best, Julien!" Lyra stood on her tiptoes and gave him a kiss on his face. Then, her eyes fell on his lips and her lips slowly leaned over.
Julien did not dodge and also cooperated by lowering his head.
Just when Lyra's lips were about to touch his, Sydney's face suddenly flashed in his mind.
Julien instantly pushed Lyra away.
Lyra was dumbfounded and looked at him blankly. Her eyes reddened. "Julien, you pushed me away again?"
Julien also knew that his actions had hurt her feelings. He lowered his eyes apologetically. "I'm sorry, Lyra. This is the office..."
"Do you disdain me?" Lyra bit her lips tightly.
Julien looked at her. "How could you think that?"
"Am I wrong?" Lyra's tears once again welled up in her eyes. "Do you disdain me now because I was touched by another man? Is that why you pushed me away?"
"No."
"Then why did you push me away? Tell me!" Lyra looked at him sadly.
Julien rubbed his brows, not knowing what to say.
Just then, Zach pushed the door in. "President Flint, all the directors have arrived. Will you go over now?"
Julien breathed a sigh of relief at Zach's arrival. "I'll go over now."
"Okay." Zach closed the door.
Julien put his hand on Lyra's shoulder. "Alright, Lyra.
I need to go to a meeting now. Let's talk later." Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
"Okay." Lyra nodded reluctantly.
Julien went out with relief.
Lyra looked in the direction he left and slowly clenched her fists.
It was the third time. He had rejected her for the third time.
She did not know why he was refusing her, but this would not do. He said that he loved her, but he did not touch her. It made her feel very insecure.
She needed to find a chance to do the deed with him so she could completely tie him to her side.
On the way to the conference room, Julien suddenly said to Zach behind him, "Later, go to the finance department and receive a month's bonus."
"Huh?" Zach was a bit dumbfounded.
Why was he getting a bonus all of a sudden?
Julien did not explain and said, "Also, buy some more tonic products that are good for sprains and send them to Sydney."
Zach knew that it was because of the elevator accident yesterday and nodded. "Understood."
Julien did not say anything this time and pushed open the conference room door to go in.
Zach stayed outside and called someone to buy the supplements.
Soon, Sydney received a call from her front desk." President Raines, someone sent you a lot of stuff. Do you want them sent up?"
Sydney sent the bank presidents away and came out of the meeting room. "What stuff?"
