Chapter 128: What’s the Comparison
Duncan’s series of moves really set the whole atmosphere on fire, and many people here were happily Joining in the fun.
While Sylvia was dancing with Duncan in the middle of the dance floor, she noticed Bruce was busy
with others. Judging by Bruce’s expression, he must have agreed on several collaborations.
That surprised Sylvia quite a bit. She hadn’t expected such an occasion to foster several collaborations, but hey, it wasn’t a bad thing.
Duncan had other plans initially, but since Sylvia wasn’t too keen on them, he settled for starting with dancing, and that was that.
Everyone gathered at the center stage, dancing to several songs, and things gradually returned to a more
formal tone.
However, that little interlude of relaxation made everyone quite happy.
Sylvia was catching her breath, and Duncan guided her to sit down and brought her a glass of juice. Looking at the juice in Duncan’s hand, Sylvia furrowed her brow. Everyone else was drinking alcohol, and here she was with juice. It felt a bit out of place. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
Of course, the most important question was, where did Duncan get that juice from?
“Don’t look at me like that. You know I’m always very considerate. So when preparing for something, I always think it through. I know it’s a party, and you’d probably want to drink, but I figured Bruce wouldnt want to drink too much. So, I arranged for someone to get you this juice. How about that? Am I being particularly attentive? Do you feel like you’re almost falling for me?”
Some of the heartfelt words were wrapped in jokes, while others were directly expressed.
Though Duncan seemed very relaxed, deep down, he was quite nervous. He didn’t know if Sylvia would take his joke seriously.
Sylvia rolled her eyes directly, took the juice from his hand, had a sip, and put it aside.
“If that’s what you think, then I bet there are plenty of girls here feeling fluttery because of your thoughtfulness. But sorry to burst your bubble, that fluttery feeling definitely doesn’t include me. Alright, if there’s nothing else, let’s go. I’ve had enough of being the center of attention here.”
That last remark genuinely gave her a headache. Sylvia was almost at her wit’s end. People around her kept staring at her, even though she wasn’t the one stirring up all these things.
Duncan shrugged. He had done what he wanted to do, and now that he understood Sylvia’s current mood, there was no reason to stay here any longer. Since Sylvia wanted to leave, he might as well just go.
But Sylvia’s reaction just now still made Duncan feel a little sad.
He had always hoped to take things further with Sylvia, but she seemed unwilling. So their relationship seemed to be stuck where it was.
“Alright, I’ll go talk to Bruce for a bit.
There was a hint of reluctance on Duncan’s face, but Sylvia didn’t notice any difference.
Watching Duncan walk away towards Bruce after saying that, Sylvia took the opportunity to walk to a comer with her glass. It was closest to the exit, and as soon as those two men finished talking, they could leave immediately.
After a few more dance tunes, everyone resumed their conversations, and Cyril gradually regained his senses amidst the numbness.
Seeing Sylvia standing in the corner, playfully sipping her juice, Cyril hesitated for a moment before walking up to her.
“Who was that guy just now? Is he pursuing you?”
Sylvia, who had just put down her juice, heard Cyril’s somewhat probing words and frowned, feeling a bit
impatient.
Whatever her relationship with Duncan was, why did Cyril feel entitled to come over and ask such questions?
“Was it fun? I saw you laughing so brightly while dancing with him, more fun than being with me, apparently.”
Cyril endured the bitterness, speaking with a tinge of reproach to Sylvia. But in reality, he was just envious. Sylvia could dance with that guy so joyfully, even standing so close to him. The gazes from the surrounding people, filled with envy and jealousy, made him feel even more bitter.
Throughout their marriage, whenever he and Sylvia appeared together, no one ever looked at them with such harmless eyes.
In fact, Sylvia didn’t get many opportunities to go out with him.
“What gives you the right to ask me that? Yes, being with him was indeed more interesting than being with you. But so what?”
“I didn’t mean anything else. I just want to know what your relationship with him is now.”
Cyril fell silent for a moment before speaking slowly.
Yes, after they had separated, he had no right to continue meddling in Sylvia’s life. Even Sylvia’s relationship with that guy wasn’t within his scope of inquiry. And Duncan, just by being so conspicuous just now, had already outdone him.
“What’s my relationship with him? It’s none of your business. Since we’re divorced, let’s not interfere with each other anymore. You’re making me feel annoyed.”
Sylvia said this with a frown, her eyes full of impatience and disgust. Cyril couldn’t pretend he hadn’t seen
1. it.
Bruce and Duncan seemed to have finished their conversation and were walking over with a somewhat aggressive air.

Sylvia just wanted to avoid trouble, so she didn’t want to make things more complicated for herself and Immediately walked towards the two men.
But just now when she was talking to Cyrill, she had already attracted the attention of the people around her with their ambiguous gazes, which made Sylvia even more irritated.
She knew that having conversations with two men in one night, especially If It looked suspicious, would definitely lead to trouble, especially if one of those men was Cyril.
“I just had a chat with Bruce. Heard you guys are planning to integrate Al with the healthcare system. Maybe we could collaborate on this. Tonight, I’ll come back with you guys, and we can discuss this project in detail. What do you think?”
Duncan provocatively glanced at Cyril, deliberately getting closer to Sylvia, placing his hand on her shoulder.
Sylvia felt a bit speechless at Duncan’s stance. It was something he often did during their usual interactions, so Sylvia didn’t see any issue with it.
But just because Sylvia thought it was okay didn’t mean others did too.
