Chapter 909 Precious Gifts
Chapter 909 Precious Gifts
Women who gave birth, miscarried, or aborted their children all needed to recuperate.
This was very good for their recovery.
However, Sean shook her head and refused. "No, Ms. Raines. I don't need to recuperate. As you know, I exercise regularly, so I am strong. As I said before, if I rest for a few days, I am afraid that I will be lazy and won't be able to adapt to intensive work, not to mention resting for a month."
Sean smiled when she said this.
Sydney frowned. "Which is more important, work or your health? Sean, I know you are devoted to your career, but you can't ignore your health for the sake of your career. It's true you are strong, yet you'll have an abortion, and it will hurt your body. If you come back to work immediately after the operation and your body can't hold on, your career can't continue."
Sean lowered her head without saying anything.
She knew that Sydney was kind to her.
That was why Sydney tried to persuade her to recuperate after the abortion.
In fact, it wasn't that Sean really didn't want to recuperate. She was just afraid that her discomfort during that period would keep reminding her of the aborted child.
She was afraid that when she thought of the baby, she would think of Luke.
Then when she thought of Luke, she would start to miss the child she had aborted.
Once she thought about the child, she would regret it...
So Sean didn't want to recuperate. She wanted to come back to work. Busy work would numb her mind, let her ignore the physical discomfort, and stop her from thinking about the child and Luke.
Yet she couldn't say these words. She couldn't let Sydney know.
Once Sydney knew, she would definitely think that Sean was deliberately using work to hurt herself.
Seeing Sean lowering her head and not speaking, Sydney sighed, "Anyway, listen to me this time. After the operation, rest at home. Don't come to work within a month. Even if you come, I will have someone send you back. Got it?"
She said in a serious and tough manner.
Sean's mouth moved as if she still wanted to argue.
Sydney immediately glared at her. "Stop it. There is no room for negotiation over this matter. It's decided. I will visit you when I have time. If I find that you are not resting, I will definitely be angry with you."
Looking at her serious face, Sean froze and then smiled, "Ms. Raines, you are... Okay, I got it. Thanks for your concern. I'll rest well."
Sean felt lucky to have such a good boss.
She was touched.
Sydney's face softened. "That's more like it. Will there be someone with you for the operation tomorrow?"
"Yes, my best friend will go with me." Sean nodded her head.
Sydney put her mind at ease. "Good. Then I'm relieved. I'll see you at the hospital later."
"Okay." Sean agreed.
Sydney took the file she had just put down. "Well, there's nothing more. You can go out now. Leave work early today and prepare for tomorrow's operation."
"I see. Thank you, Ms. Raines." Sean bowed slightly, turned, and walked towards the door.
After Sean left, Sydney rubbed her brow, picked up a pen from the pencil holder, and began working on the documents.
Halfway through, the telephone on her desk rang.
Sydney took the receiver and put it between her shoulder and ear. She was signing the documents as she asked, "This is Sydney's office. May I help you?"
"Ms. Raines." A polite female voice came over the phone. "This is the front desk. A person from the Flint Group just came over and brought a lot of things, saying that those were gifts for your elders prepared by Mr. Flint. He wanted you to have a look and see if there was anything else he needed to add."
Hearing this, Sydney stopped signing, and she immediately reacted.
Those were probably the gifts that Julien had prepared for Luke's parents.
She thought that Julien would bring them directly to the Chases' home in the evening.
She didn't expect that he would be afraid of missing something and would have someone bring them over to her first.
Smiling, Sydney said on the phone, "I see. Tell someone to send them upstairs." ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"Okay, Ms. Raines," the receptionist answered.
Sydney put the receiver back and continued her work.
About ten minutes later, there was a knock on the office door.
Sydney let them in. Soon, two security guards carried many bags in.
Sydney directed them to put the stuff on the sofa in the lounge area. "Be careful not to break them."
"Don't worry, Ms. Raines," the two security guards replied as they put the things down.
After they were done, Sydney handed over two bottles of water. "Thank you."
"Ms. Raines, you're so kind." When the two guards saw the bottles of water, they were flattered for a moment and waved aside Sydney's offer of the water.
It was only when Sydney asked them to take the bottles of water that they dared to reach out and take them.
After that, Sydney let them leave.
The office was quiet again.
Sydney came to the bags.
The bags were very delicate, and at a glance, she could see that the things inside were worth a lot of money.
Sydney opened each bag a little to see which ones were wine and which ones were cosmetics.
Finally, Sydney separated the gifts for Mr. and Mrs. Chase and checked them one by one.
What Julien gave to Mr. Chase were a few bottles of original wine.
She didn't know anything about wine, but she knew the value of original wine.
Even a bottle of original wine was very valuable, and it couldn't be bought with only money. One must be rich, healthy, and powerful to buy it.
And having a bottle of original wine was enough to make one brag, not to mention several bottles.
Julien was very generous. He prepared five bottles of original wine from different wineries as a collection for Mr. Chase.
When Mr. Chase saw them, he would be overjoyed.
Sydney smiled. She put the bottles of wine aside carefully and then continued to check the gifts for Mrs. Chase.
She opened each bag and found that Julien had prepared not only cosmetics, but also perfumes, bags, scarves, shoes, jewelry, and other things.
These were all things that women liked.
Even though the gifts for Mrs. Chase were not as precious as the bottles of wine for Mr. Chase, what women liked were different from what men liked, and these were Mrs. Chase's favorite things.
What was more, this was a large gift package.
Sydney thought that when Mrs. Chase saw these gifts, she would probably faint with joy, just like Mr. Chase.
Sydney rewrapped the packages so that there was no sign that they had been opened. She rubbed her brow and sighed, "Julien has prepared too many gifts."
They were just going to dinner, so preparing a gift for Mr. and Mrs. Chase each was enough.
She did not expect that he would actually buy so many things.
Mr. and Mrs. Chase would be overwhelmed with happiness.
The phone on the desk suddenly rang.
Sydney put her hands down, got up, and walked toward her desk. When she looked down at her phone and saw the name Julien flashing on the screen, she smiled without the slightest surprise.
