Chapter 127: A Grand Entrance
So, these two must have just met, right? But Sylvia didn’t shove this guy away from her, which means. they’re closer than I thought.
But Cyril doesn’t have a clue about this guy standing in front of him.
Cyril’s itching to walk over and ask Sylvia about their relationship, but he can’t seem to take that step. He’s just stuck there, staring at them both.
Sylvia’s been facing away from Cyril the whole time, plus she’s focused on the guy in front of her, so she hasn’t noticed Cyril lurking behind.
“Hey, how come you’re here? Weren’t you busy with Miranda doing something else?”
Even though there’s nobody around, Sylvia still lets go of Duncan’s hand.
They have this little clique, where they chat about all sorts of stuff every day. Duncan mentioned they might join after they finished up with Miranda. So Sylvia’s kinda surprised, like, weren’t you supposed to be busy? How come you’re here now? NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Duncan catches sight of someone standing nearby. He knows who it is and decides to edge closer to Sylvia. Even though he doesn’t actually touch her, from Cyril’s angle, it totally looks like they’re close.
“Of course, we’re done with the other thing, so here I am, Heard this place is pretty interesting, thought I’d check it out. Aren’t you happy to see me?”
As Duncan speaks, he puts on this slightly hurt expression, leaving Sylvia at a loss for words.
“Well, that’s not really up to me. After all, I didn’t organize this event. But since you’re here, you could mingle with the folks around, make some connections. Who knows, it might be helpful for you in the
future.”
As Sylvia’s about to get all serious and start talking business with Duncan, he feels a bit exasperated. He just reaches out and covers Sylvia’s mouth with his hand.
“Alright, alright, spare me the lectures. I know I should network with them, but I’m here to find you, not to listen to you preach. By the way, I bumped into Bruce on my way here, and he mentioned something. You two really are like siblings; you talk similarly.”
Sylvia hears Duncan’s words and bursts out laughing. Duncan’s the kind of guy who craves freedom and hates being tied down. So being here, he must be feeling pretty uncomfortable.
“Okay, okay, I won’t talk about that anymore. My brother and I are about to leave. Are you leaving too?”
They’ve pretty much wrapped things up, and Sylvia’s said what she needed to. There’s not much else to discuss.
Might as well just head home.
When Duncan hears Sylvia saying they’re about to leave, his eyes light up. He grabs Sylvia’s wrist and starts pulling her towards the exit.
“Don’t rush. I have something to tell you. Come on, I’ve been planning this for ages.”
Sylvia’s a bit puzzled. What could Duncan possibly have prepared?
So she follows Duncan downstairs,
Seeing the two of them heading downstairs so intimately, Cyril’s eyes start to redden, feeling a pang of hurt deep inside
At this moment, he feels like he can understand Sylvia’s feelings over the years.
Is this how Sylvia feels every time Cyril’s with Karina?
Feelings he’s never experienced before are flooding him now that Sylvia’s distanced herself from him.
Apart from sadness, there’s nothing left in his heart.
Cyril lets out a sigh, almost like torturing himself, and joins the two downstairs, eager to see what they’re
up to.
When they reach the ground floor, Cyril is shocked by what he sees.
In the middle of the venue, there’s a red carpet laid out, surrounded by decorations, with soft romantic.
music playing.
All this in just a moment, showing how thoughtful and quick the preparation was.
Duncan grabs Sylvia and leads her to the center of the red carpet. He snaps his fingers, and the music suddenly changes to upbeat dance tunes.
People around them see what’s happening and flash meaningful smiles, Clearly, they know something might happen next.
Sylvia’s speechless. This kind of setup is beyond her expectations.
Little did she know, Duncan had secretly prepared all this. If she knew Duncan had laid out a red carpet here and coordinated with so many people, she wouldn’t have come downstairs.
Sylvia thinks she’s been quite high–profile lately, but she never expected to become even more so here.
“Are you out of your mind? Preparing all this here, it’s like you’re about to propose or something.”
Sylvia lowers her voice, saying to Duncan.
She doesn’t want people around to misunderstand their relationship.
Duncan hesitates for a moment. He did have that idea originally, but seeing Sylvia’s slightly reluctant expression, he realizes his efforts haven’t made her happy, maybe even annoyed her.
With an awkward smile on his face, Duncan bites his lip. “I didn’t really think that far ahead. I just heard you were here, and Cyril too. I didn’t want you to feel embarrassed. If you don’t like it, should I have it all removed?”
Sylvia knows that’s Duncan’s mindset. He seems to be at odds with Cyril, popping up wherever Cyril is,

“I think it’s a bit too late to remove all this now, with so many people watching quietly as we walked in. Whatever plans you have, let’s just get them over with quickly and leave. So we don’t make it awkward.”
Sylvia genuinely feels that way. With everyone’s eyes fixed on them, leaving now might stir up even more. gossip. It’s easier to just go along with Duncan.
But the thought of what’s coming next makes Sylvia’s head ache.
Anyway, whether they leave or stay here today, there’ll definitely be more trouble tomorrow.
