Chapter 369 - Muscles

"Where are you guys going?" Eliot gave a soft cough and turned around to ask.

The girls seemed to finally regain their senses from their astonishment. They sized up Sydnee and Eliot with disbelief. What a "new" pair!

One of the girls said, "We're going to take a look at Janet's new place."

"Right. Yes." The girl who had mocked Sydnee had an ugly expression on her face.

Even if the Britt Group collapsed, Eliot had rosy prospects ahead. He was one of the outstanding young men of City Y, and even top-notch. At the very least, he was much better than other prodigals who idled away their life eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling, and those alumni who couldn't find a way to achieve their ambitions. At the very least, Eliot had run a company. Even though the group was doomed, Eliot was young and had the momentum to rise again!

As for the Dickersons, the family didn't accumulate much wealth, had no status and ran a hundred-year-old pharmacy that only saw a meagre profit. People addressed Sydnee's grandpa Conrad as Master Dickerson, out of politeness, though. But in modern times, many would avoid a feudal family like the Dickersons.

People now put profits above other things. Surprisingly, Eliot was with Sydnee. This could prove one thing that Eliot did love Sydnee.

The conclusion was well-founded, because the Dickersons could not help the Britts in business.

Not only that, the Dickersons might need the help of the Britts.

"What new place?" Eliot looked at Sydnee.

Sydnee's heart skipped a beat. Worried that he would say something inappropriate, she gave a quick reply, "Yes. we're all going to see it. If you're busy, you can go back now..."

However, Eliot said, "It's fine."

"I'm free tonight. I want to be with you." He smiled gently.

Sydnee said, "..."

Why couldn't he get her?

She didn't want him to be with her!

Half an hour later, the group got off at the entrance of the Landscape Estate.

The girl who was lucky enough to sit on a Rolls-Royce took a photo shyly in the back seat for posting it on social media later.

When the security guards at the entrance saw the car stop, they all stood out. The moment they recognized Sydnee in the crowd, they nodded to her respectfully.

Sydnee happened to be standing behind Janet, so other girls all thought that the nods were for Janet, and cast an envious gaze at her.

Security guards in residential areas wouldn't be so respectful to most people.

It proved that money could buy respect.

Leading the others, Janet swaggered inside a building. On the first floor sat a security consultant and several real estate agents. They probably came to take a look at the room. After the job was done, they chatted over tea. They turned their heads and saw the girls and the couple coming in. When they saw Sydnee, their eyes immediately lit up. They all put on their jackets and ties. Looking eager, they were about to rush over.

Sydnee smiled at them, then pressed her palms and made a gesture.

The other girls with her didn't understand, but they guessed that she didn't want to be disturbed, so none of the agents stepped forward.

The consultant also stood up. Thinking that Janet and the other girls were Sydnee's friends, he smiled politely at them.

Janet was quite surprised. When this consultant saw her the day before yesterday, he was quite indifferent. Janet didn't know what was going on with the agents. They weren't so nervous when Janet saw them the other day. Could it be that they were overwhelmed by the size of the group?

She stopped thinking about it and led everyone into the elevator before pressing the top floor button.

When the elevator went up, a girl asked, "Eliot, can I ask you a question?"

Eliot replied softly, "Yes."

"How did you end up with Sydnee?" After that, the girl added, "No offense. I just feel that you guys ... seem so different. She's withdrawn while you're easygoing..."

"Is she that way?" Eliot put his hand on Sydnee's shoulder and said, "When she's with me, she's very sharp-tongued and not withdrawn at all."

"..."

Although he was telling the truth, it sounded strange to Sydnee.

Especially after the other girls heard this, they all looked at each other, their eyes burning with envy and jealousy.

Eliot answered in a smart way. He let them know that Sydnee had different sides. She was withdrawn before the people she disliked, and chatty when with him.

And this showed their love.

"Then are you going to get married?" The girl asked again, "Sydnee came to see Janet's new place. Perhaps she wants to remind you that you should buy one for your marriage life, right?"

"No." Sydnee responded quickly, "Sorry, we don't have any plans yet."

He smiled and said nothing, but he couldn't help but think that Sydnee's reaction felt real. It was like if he did propose to her, she would refuse without hesitation.

"Oh, how long have you been together? You are..." The girl seemed a little embarrassed, "Are...?"

Before she could say the word "Cohabitation", Sydnee interrupted her, "Hey, here we are!"

As expected, the elevator gave a sound.

The group walked out one after another.

The moment Sydnee stepped out, she couldn't help but cover her forehead.

When Janet entered the building, she was sure about it, because there was only one residence on the top floor, and the one she bought for Emily happened to be in this building.

The door made of agarwood and mahogany stood quietly in front of her. She knew every corner inside. She had picked and bought everything, from the decoration to household appliances, even to every flower pot on the balcony.

Even the white sprinkler beside the windowsill was her pick. At that time, she bargained hard with the vendor at the flower market for a long time, and the vendor finally gave it to her.

"There's no need to change your shoes. Come in." Janet stood at the entrance and said kindly, "Make yourself at home."

The group entered with curiosity and envy. "Excuse me."

Sydnee stepped in with an indescribable feeling.

There was basically no change inside. After all, it was well-equipped with home appliances, sofas, televisions, and curtains. Everything was available. Of course, the rent was not cheap.

Emily bought this apartment and waited for the price to rise, then sold it at a high price. Of course, during this period, the rent belonged to Sydnee.

It was such a windfall for Sydnee, so she took care of everything herself, seeing this apartment as her own, carefully handling it.

Janet's boyfriend was an ordinary-looking man, not skinny and with a muffin top, but he was taller than Eliot by half a head.

Some of the girls had seen her boyfriend. Of course, this was the first time Sydnee had seen him. Then all the girls looked at this big man. This made him feel somewhat embarrassed. "You guys can drink tea. I'll go get some tea."

Janet pulled him back and said, "Wait."

She held his arm intimately yet purposely and said, "He looks fat, but it's for his muscles. He eats a lot to grow his muscles. The coach said that he needs a certain amount of fat to develop beautiful muscles. He used to have some muscles, but at that time he was too thin to grow perfect muscles."

"Wow!" The girls covered their mouths in excitement.

"Eliot looks fit.. You must have some muscles, right?" Suddenly, one of the girls looked at Eliot beside Sydnee.
