    Chapter 130: What Are You Doing Here?


    As they reached the crossroads, Duncan wasn’t too keen, but eventually, Bruce convinced him to


    get out, so he hopped into his car and headed home. The two cars parted ways at the fork in the


    road.


    Once Duncan exited the car, Sylvia felt the atmosphere Inside finally return to normal. Even the


    driver couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.


    “I know you and Miranda are close, so naturally, your rtionship with Duncan is good too. That’s


    why I want to ask about the status between you and Duncan. How far has it progressed? If your


    next step is to rekindle a romantic rtionship, I won’t stop you. But if you’re considering marriage


    again, I suggest you think it over carefully. Duncan is a decent guy, but I don’t think he’s marriage


    material.”


    Bruce dropped a bombshell right off the bat, leaving Sylvia wide–eyed and unsure of what to say.


    She only saw Duncan as a good friend, no different from her rtionship with Miranda. Why did it


    sound wronging from Bruce?


    “Big brother, are you mistaken? My rtionship with Duncan isn’t asplicated as you think.


    We’re just friends, nothing more. You know he’s always been a bit unreliable, prone to these kinds


    of situations. It’s just that he’s been abroad for years, so you’re not used to it.”


    Sylvia tried to rify, but Bruce could see through her clear gaze that Sylvia hadn’t thought much


    about it. But a man understands men best, and he knows Duncan’s true intentions, both today and


    in the past. However, Sylvia seemed oblivious.


    If Duncan didn’t show his hand, there wasn’t much more to say to avoid involving Sylvia further.


    “Alright, just a passing remark. It’s just that his attitude towards you seems different. If there’s no


    issue, then let it be. But whatever you decide, I won’t stand in your way. However, there’s one thing


    you must do -ept the entire Ivan family.”


    Bruce changed the subject, avoiding further talk about Duncan. He moved on to work matters,


    mentioning the discussions he had during their dance about potential coborations.


    Sylvia couldn’t help but admire her brother’s industriousness. Even in such settings, he


    remembered to discuss business. She couldn’t recall such details.


    As they chatted, they arrived home. It waste, so they tidied up and retired to their respective


    rooms to


    rest.


    Early


    the next morning, Sylvia woke up and checked the headlines on her phone. True to her


    expectations, her name and Cyril’s were prominently featured in both entertainment and business


    sections.


    She felt a headacheing on. Duncan’s name wasn’t mentioned; he must have done something.


    But seeing her name linked with Cyril’s irritated her.


    Running her fingers through her hair, she decided against delving deeper into the content and shut


    her phone off to get ready.

    She had a lot on her te for the day–visiting the magazine’s shooting location, checking on their


    artists, discussing uing coborations with partners, and catching up with her brother. Plus,


    there was a meeting regarding integrating Al with medical devices, something their senior


    researcher had been pondering.


    As she thought about her packed schedule, she descended the stairs to find Bruce had already left


    for his own engagements. They both had busy days ahead, with Bruce preparing for a trip in the


    afternoon.


    After breakfast, Sylvia had her driver take her to the magazine’s shoot location. Little did she expect


    to


    encounter someone there.


    It had been a while since she’d seen Karina. She had assumed Karina had left, only to find her


    here.


    “What are you doing here? Are you aware Cyril’s here today, so you intentionally came? Let me tell


    you, there’s absolutely nothing between Cyril and me anymore. I wouldn’t spare him a second


    nce. Quit wasting your efforts!”


    Karina’s hostility was palpable as soon as they met. Sylvia halted, surprised. Cyril was here today?


    Why hadn’t anyone informed her?


    Well, Cyril’s schedule was always a mystery to her. Perhaps his visit was impromptu. After all, with


    Karina present, Cyril’s sudden appearance wasn’t far–fetched.


    “You’re overthinking. I’m here because my artists are shooting for the magazine. I just came to


    check on things. You don’t need to be so hostile. I have no interest in that man anymore.”


    Sylvia tried to diffuse the tension before heading inside to find her artists. As she located them, she


    noticed Cyril wasn’t far off, apanied by a handsome man, likely one of theirpany’s artists.


    Sylvia nced briefly before focusing on her tasks, discussing arrangements and checking on the


    shoot’s


    progress.


    Once she was done, she prepared to leave. ncing back to where Cyril was, she


    noticed he was gone. Good riddance, she thought, feeling relieved to avoid any confrontations.


    Just as she reached the door, Karina intercepted her again.


    Sylvia sighed internally. Wasn’t Karina supposed to have other things to do today?

    “I’m about to leave. I won’t be bothering you further. If you have something to say, make it quick.”


    “I have something I want to talk to you about. Can we find a ce to chat?”


    Karina’s reluctance to let things go puzzled Sylvia. She had left the situation defeated, especially by


    someone she never saw as a rival–Sylvia.
