Chapter 1152 Going Abroad to Study
If it were the case, she could dream on.
He had rejected her, so no matter what means she resorted to, he would not let her succeed, not even if she threatened him with the child in her womb.
Luke hated this kind of person the most.
He couldn't help but see Sean's pregnancy as a conspiracy.
What else could explain her pregnancy at such a time?
He had no choice but to suspect that she hadn't taken contraceptives and that she had lied to him to slacken his vigilance and buy time to get pregnant with his seed.
Then she could come to him and make him take responsibility.
That should be the case.
The more Luke thought about it, the more he believed that was the truth. Even though he knew that Sean had made an appointment for an abortion, he did not change his mind.
There must have been something wrong with the child, so she had to choose an abortion.
Otherwise, an ambitious woman like her wouldn't have done this.
In any case, he decided to teach the liar a lesson.
Before this, he had never been fooled by a woman like this. He was determined to get back at her.
"Sean!" Luke stared ahead, as if that woman were standing right there on the road. He gritted his teeth and muttered her name. His voice was filled with anger, hatred, and urgency that he was not aware of. Perhaps only he knew what he was anxious about himself.
Sydney knew nothing about that.
After seeing Luke off, she continued to immerse herself in the monotonous work.
It wasn't until the afternoon when Julien called that she put down her pen, stretched herself, and relaxed. With a smile on her face, she answered the phone. "Hello?"
Her voice was soft, with a tinge of tiredness.
In the car, Julien noticed it and asked with a frown, "Swamped with work?"
"Not too much. Why do you ask?" Sydney smiled, curling up in her chair.
Julien parked the car by the road in front of the office building of Skylight Corporation and looked up at a certain window on the top floor.
It was where Sydney's office was.
"You sound tired," Julien said.
Sydney smiled. "So that's why. Well, I am indeed a bit tired. The documents are piling up, and considering that I've only been in this business for just a few months, the task is a bit challenging. There are still many things I don't know. When I encounter jargon, I have to look it up in dictionaries. If I casually sign them without knowing their meanings, it may give rise to grave problems. Even for those I understand but have no hands-on experience, I have to make phone calls and confirm with the employees before I can handle a document with peace of mind. As a result, after a day of work, I'm feeling dizzy. It's both physical and mental fatigue."
"It's normal since you haven't received systematic training on how to manage a company. And since you're temporarily taking up this position, you can only learn through trial and error. There is no way you can learn everything." Julien placed his hand on the window sill, lightly tapping it with his fingers.
Sydney nodded. "Yeah, but as a beginner, I haven't made any mistakes in handling so many documents. It proves my business talent, doesn't it?"
"Yeah!" Julien concurred without hesitation.
Sydney was delighted and laughed.
Hearing her hearty laughter, Julien curled his lips. "But you can't continue like this. Learning through work is too slow. If you don't have professional knowledge, you won't be able to keep up with the development of Skylight Corporation."
"I know, but..."
"After the New Year, why don't you go abroad for a period of study?" Julien interrupted her and gave his suggestion.
Sydney froze and subconsciously straightened up. "What were you saying? Go abroad to study?"
"Yes, you must enter a school to study and make up for your lack of professional knowledge. Only in this way can you better manage Skylight Corporation in the future."
"I know that I need to study, but which school should I go to? And how should I be enrolled?" Sydney scratched her head with a worried expression.
This was where she hesitated.
Julien chuckled. "Don't worry. I will recommend the most suitable school to you. As for the application, I will take care..."
"Hold on!" Sydney quickly made a pause gesture, her face turning serious. "Don't tell me you want to bribe the recruiters. That's a no-no. I would rather not go than shame myself."
When Julien heard that, he knew that she had misunderstood him.
And the misunderstanding was quite deep.
Julien put his palm on his forehead and gave a bitter smile, but his eyes were filled with indulgence. "No. I just wanted to tell you that the right school in my mind would begin global enrollment in the second hal of next year. I have connections to help you apply. When the time comes, you can take the exams yourself."
He knew that she would not accept backroom deals, so he had never planned to do it in the first place. He was prepared to let her take the exams herself.
Considering her pride, this was the best approach.
As soon as Sydney heard that, she calmed down and smiled awkwardly. "I see it now. I'm sorry. I..."
"It's alright. I didn't make myself clear enough. So, what do you think?" Julien asked, resting his head on his hand.
Sydney bit her lip and pondered instead of giving an immediate answer.
She was tempted.
But going abroad for studies was not a small matter.
She didn't know when she would come back and who she could entrust the company to.
These things required careful consideration.
Julien knew what she was hesitating about, so he patiently waited instead of urging her for an answer.
Two minutes later, Sydney rubbed her temples and sighed. "You said that enrollment starts in the second half of next year, which means I only have less than half a year to prepare for the exam?" "That's right." Julien nodded.
"Can I pass the exam in such a short time?"
Sydney was not confident about it.
Julien chuckled, reassuring her. "Forgetting me? I will do my best to tutor you. With my guidance, you will definitely pass the exams."
Sydney laughed. "Are you just praising yourself?"
Julien smiled. "Don't you have confidence in me?"
Sydney stuck out her tongue. "How could I not have confidence in the CEO with several Ph.D. degrees? I just don't have confidence in myself. I don't even know whether I'm smart enough to learn. What if I can't learn anything?"
"No, you gotta believe in yourself. Even for the sake of Skylight Corporation, you must learn and get into this school, right?" Julien said seriously.
