Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 42 Can't Find Out

When Sydney woke up in the morning, she had a hangover and a slight headache.

Rubbing her temples, she sat up from the bed and soon felt a chill when the quilt slipped off her. When she looked down, she saw that she was stripped down to her camisole!

What happened?

Just as she was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed, she saw the man lying beside her pillow, fast asleep. His chest was bare, his hair tousled above his head, and his facial features were quite handsome. Sydney’s eyes widened, and she could not speak for a long time.

Last night, she was drunk, and her head felt dizzy. However, she seemed to have vaguely heard Julien's voice...

Was she so triggered last night that she found a random man to sleep with?

At the thought that she had just slept with a stranger, she could not bring herself to look at the man on the bed anymore. She took her clothes from the chair to change and thought about leaving some money, but she could not find her bag anywhere.

When she took a piece of paper to leave her number, she found that a series of numbers was already written on it. Perhaps the man left it because he was afraid she would wake up early and run away.

Sydney tore the sheet of paper and fled the room.

Half an hour later, Sydney, who had gone home and taken a shower, took a cab to the company. She was still not fully recovered and in shock that she had 'lost her virginity'.

"President Raines is here!"

Sydney had just gotten out of the cab when a group of reporters rushed over from all directions, surrounding her before she could even stand on her feet. The camera lights flashed at her face endlessly.

"President Raines, who is the man in that recording?"

"That voice seems different from that male model, Layden Lowe. Please explain!"

"Ms. Raines, are you coming to Skylight to work because your status as the vice president is convenient for you to hook up with men?"

The reporters dropped all kinds of sharp questions like bombs.

Although Sydney did not know what they were talking about, she soon steeled her composure, not allowing them to catch anything odd from her. She pushed them away while trying to leave the encirclement.

"Excuse me. Please make way." "Ms. Raines, are you not answering because you’re guilty?" a reporter asked. "I heard a rumor that you divorced President Flint because of your unrestrained private life."

At that moment, Luke squeezed in through the layers of reporters and took Sydney into his arms like a knight in shining armor. He sneered at that reporter." You said that it's a rumor. How can it be true? I also heard a rumor that you're gay. What do you think about that?"

The reporter went ashen at Luke's words.

Luke rolled his eyes and pushed the microphones away while saying, "The man speaking in that audio is me. If you don't believe me, just compare my voice to the recording.

"Sydney is my girlfriend, and we're in a relationship. However, she didn't want to make it public because she wanted to keep a low profile. As for the rumors of her dating Layden, those are all nonsense! The three of us are friends. What's wrong with friends eating together?

"Also, my girlfriend and President Flint divorced peacefully. As for the affair...” Luke snorted. "Why don't you ask President Flint about that? He hasn't even married that woman, but he goes to the hospital every day to take care of her. What’s that supposed to

mean?

"Alright, I've said all I have to say. Get lost!" Luke pushed the reporters away and squeezed out of it.

"My girlfriend is timid, so don’t scare her. You won't get any news from her either. I heard President Flint is going to remarry. Why don't you guys go hound him instead? It'll be easier to get a bonus from him."

Sydney was speechless.

Luke pushed with his hands and legs and soon left the encirclement with Sydney in his arms. With that, they walked into Skylight together.

Sydney turned her head and looked at the reporters outside who had not yet dispersed. She gave Luke a thumbs-up. "You’re amazing. I guess you didn’t eat at my place for nothing when you were younger."

If Luke had not helped her multiple times after the divorce, she would probably be ruined by now.

"We've been together for more than 20 years, and you only realize now that I'm amazing?" Luke scoffed and took her into the elevator. After pressing the button, he looked at Sydney and examined her. "You left last night and didn’t come back. Where did you go? You didn't even take your bag."

Luke questioned, "Did you go find a man?"

At those words, Sydney remembered the shocking scene she saw in the morning and that... mark on her neck when she took a shower. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

"I wasn't feeling well last night. I didn't want to disturb you since you looked like you were having fun, so I left early," Sydney said without blushing and quickly changed the topic. "What recording were the reporters talking about?"

Luke frowned and took out his phone while cursing, " Someone installed a little something in the private room last night."

He opened the audio and played it for Sydney to hear.

The recording was from the private room last night where Luke teased Sydney. The later portion where Sydney explained to Sharon about the matter was deliberately cut off, making the audio sound ambiguous.

"That person deliberately edited the audio. They're quite scheming.” Sydney sneered. "Can you find out who did it by watching the surveillance camera?"

"No, it’s too hard." Luke shook his head and sighed. " Many waiters went in and out of the room yesterday, so there's no way to find out who did it. We might not be able to find anything even if we question them individually."

Sydney also knew that, and her expression became a little solemn.

However, in her head, she had a clear object of suspicion on the mastermind of this stint - Lyra Madden.

Sydney had just divorced Julien, so she had few friends in the circle and almost no enemies.

However, Lyra had always had a problem with her. Last night, Luke had even badly humiliated Lyra, so she already had a motive.

There was just no evidence that Lyra had gotten someone to do it.

"You don’t usually wear silk scarves. Why are you wearing one today?" While Sydney was lost in thought, Luke caught sight of the silk scarf around her neck and keenly felt that something was off. "Did you really not go looking for a man last night?"

He reached over and tried to pull the scarf. "Are you hiding a hickey?"

"I said no." Sydney slapped his hand away and tried hard to keep calm. "No man is as handsome as you!"

Luke was stunned for a few seconds before sizing Sydney up. Then, he stroked his chin and tutted." You’re too skinny, babe. I like my women with a little more meat on their bones."

Sydney did not know what else to say.

When the elevator door opened, Sydney took the lead and walked out. "If you don't need anything, go back to your company. I don’t need your help here!"

"Darling, you’re so heartless." Luke followed after her and wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

"If it weren't for me, you'd have drowned in those reporters' spit. Yet, you're throwing me away now that you don't need me anymore? You're my girlfriend! Even if the sky falls on my company, you'll

still be more important to me!"

Sophie had just delivered the documents and come out of Sydney's office when she heard Luke.

Then, seeing Luke embracing Sydney intimately, there was obvious shock on her face. She asked, "President Raines, are you two... really together?"
