“What do you think of the person your big brother set your up with? He’s been into your slice childhood, you know? Then there was that thealty with Cyll, a lot of it was because of you. But later on, realizing you might be stuck in the middle, he hacked off and went abroad Now seeing each other apain, how do you feel?”
Usually, my big brother isn’t this nosy, Who got him into this?
Sylda felt a headache coming on. She saw Juliet staring at her with possip written all over her face, making her headache worse.
“It’s been so many years since we’ve seen each other, what’s there to teel? Right now, my priority is sorting out the company’s collidiorations, other matters well, they’re not on my radar. Plus, I didn’t even recognize him back then, and now I’m even less likely to. You two are making this really awkward for ine,”
Syhia thought the guy cane to discuss business, so she brashed it off casually at first at Later, she realized things weren’t that simple. Her two brothers were really compleating things for her.
“All of this is your brothers‘ thoughtful concern. Anyway, you can think about it later. But it’s true he likes you, and now that you‘ re divorced, you’ve por to consider other options. He’ll probably keep pursuing you for a while. Now, let’s talk about the company’s matters. Frank’s enmpany, Juliet has briefed me. If we don’t collaborate, so be it, but you have to find another company, Otherwise, our people will need explanations. And how about the situation with the subsidiary?”
“It’s almost sorted. There are still a few puppeteers behind the scenes we haven’t caught yet. Once we grab them, I’ll be mostly done. As for the collaboration, I’m already considering it. Don’t worry, I’ve got things under control.”
With the personal stuff out of the way, Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief and started discussing the recent state of the company seriously.
After discussing company matters, the siblings hung up. Sylvia put down her phone and looked at Juliet. “Did you secretly inform me about what’s been happening lately?”
“Oh, come on, don’t blame me! Your brother bombarded me with too much information. Plus, you know how irresistible he is when he’s right in front of me. So, I had to spill the beans, sorry about that. How about I treat you to dinner?”
Jubet hadn’t expected Sylvia to catch on so quickly, leaving her with no escape. She had to awkwardly blurt out these words.
“Never mind, let’s not talk about this anymore. It’s not that big eta deal”
Even if it wasn’t Benjamin today, it would’ve been someone else. So, fussing over this didn’t make sense at all.
Anyway, once the company matters were settled, she’d be out of here soon. It wouldn’t be wise to burn bridges now, especially since no one had done anything out of line. Let it be for now, future matters could be dealt with in the future. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
However, Sylvia had underestimated the situation a bit. The incident where Bark beat someone up had been trending for days, putting her in the spotlight as well.
So, when Sylvia and Benjamin had dinner together, the media caught wind and spread the news online, Coincidentally, Barry saw it.
Barry felt uneasy seeing the news. Just as he was about in pot away his phone, Cyril’s voice sounded from behind him.
“Let me see your phone.”
Startled by the sudden voice of the l
the big boss, Barry complied, handing over his phone along with the news article. Cyril looked at the online buzz expressionlessly. No one knew what he was thinking, especially Barry, who was now even more nervous…
Barry couldn’t help but complain inwardly. What kind of dead–end question was that? Compatibility? What’s the use of that now? They’re divorced! If you’re feeling jealous and insecure now, why didn’t you do something earlier?
Though he was thinking all of this, he didn’t dare say a word. He nervously replied, “Those online talks must have poor eyesight. Benjamin isn’t a good guy.1 when he was against us weren’t noble, it’s just that there’s no comparison now. If there was, they’d surely think you, boss, are better, more compatible.” “You make a point. Find a way for me to meet Sylvia”
The things he did
Cyril did feel a hint of crisis. Back then, when he was at odds with Benjamin, part of it was because of Sylvia, Knowing their relationship wasn’t great, it not unfamiliar, it was Benjamin’s actions that fueled his anger towards Sylvia.
Now that this guy was reappearing, Cyril felt he needed to be cautious about him more than anyone else
So, he had to find a way to appear in front of Syhla and make sure she focused on him. As for Benjamin, he needed to stay on the sidelines.
He hadn’t realized how difficult his request was expecting Sylvia to meet him when she clearly didn’t want to
Barry felt helpless. He wanted to say something, but Cyril didn’t give him the chance, walking away.
As Cyril walked farther away, Barry felt even worse. Meeting Sylvia, now he had to figure out how to do that. It wasn’t as simple as taking a car home like before. Even getting an appointment wasn’t guaranteed now,
And Syria, she probably didn’t want to meet Cyril right now.
But he had to follow the boss’s orders. Barry had no choice but to try to arrange a meeting with Sylvia in the company’s name, but whether it would succeed was uncertain.
