Chapter 21


    Chapter 21 Want to Meet Her


    Hearing Caroline invoke Sylvia left Cyril frowning in distaste. He disliked her sullying Sylvia’s name,


    feeling it a disparaging insult.


    Especially now realizing how much Caroline had deceived him over the years, directly causing so


    many fights with Sylvia too.


    “Enough. You never spoke ill before so I blindly thought you innocent. Keep trying to frame Sylvia


    and consider the consequences if you can withstand the bacsh. I’ve provided your final way out.


    Don’t let it be your downfall instead.”


    Ending the call abruptly, Cyril knew further discussion was useless. Meanwhile at the hospital,


    Caroline flung her phone violently down in frustrated despair.


    Cyril imed he was offering her a way out yet clearly his actions were shoving her onto an


    inescapable path towards destruction! And he dared insist Sylvia yed no part in this? If so, why


    was he overreacting so extremely?


    It had to be Sylvia orchestrating everything to remove her rival! With Caroline gone, Sylvia probably


    aimed to reim her position as Cyril’s wife!


    What a joke! After Cyril had willingly fought with Sylvia countless times for her sake before and


    moved heaven and earth selflessly on Caroline’s behalf, how could Sylvia endure their


    closeness? The hatred in Caroline’s eyes intensified. If Sylvia wanted to ruthlessly drive her into a


    corner like this, Caroline refused to let her get away with it! Just wait! She would find a way to


    retaliate against Sylvia no matter what!


    At hispany, Cyril’s intense workload recently brought back painful old stomach issues that


    Sylvia used to help manage through regr meal reminders and preparing food for him


    asionally. With their divorce however, no one now prompted him to eat anymore and he


    frequently neglected meals altogether, especially busy shielding Caroline from bacsh recently.


    His employees were overworked too, often missing meals in their haste as well. One morning, Cyril


    finally felt the consequences when his stomach started cramping badly mid- meeting, leaving his


    brows tightly furrowed in difort, unable to speak.


    Hurrying in and noticing his painful clutch over his abdomen, Assistant Barry instantly understood


    the cause when he noted the lunch hour had long passed. If even he with a lesser workload hadn’t


    managed more than some quick bread earlier, Cyril surely ate nothing.


    Barry had tried calling reminders without response, upied with Caroline’s scandal. Their former


    diligence in this matter highlighted the new neglect.

    Wracked with guilt, Barry quickly offered to grab antacids though a thorough search found none in


    the office. Then he remembered who used to prepare them.


    “Any medicine yet?” Cyril demanded through gritted teeth. Shaking his head apologies, Barry


    borated Sylvia’s past attentiveness as the reason before Cyril interrupted furiously.

    “So she’s your boss instead of you being my assistant? If you can’t handle such basic tasks, why


    do I waste vast sums paying your sry?”


    Stunned by the unexpected connection to Sylvia, Cyril desperately yearned to see her now. To


    demand exnations why she initiated divorce over Caroline’s irrelevance to her. Hadn’t they


    agreed Caroline posed no threat to her status?


    Mortified over failing his duties, Barry self–med the entire esction. If he had stayed properly


    attentive, this would have never happened. Insisting on taking Cyril to the hospital immediately,


    Barry had to support his struggling boss weakened by pain.


    In the car, Barry reviewed workce divisions and realized Cyril’s personal needs had slowly


    transferred under Sylvia’s purview the past years. With her managing that area, Barry’s ownI


    workload had lightened considerably. Her hyper vignce lowered his own attentiveness until he


    took it for granted. Toote did he recognize that was still his primary responsibility, regardless of


    her initiative. Habits once formed became difficult to break after all.


    Well understanding that now, Barry knew he had to refocus on fulfilling his duties going forward, no


    matter Sylvia’s involvement. Else what purpose did he serve Cyril?
