Chapter 137


    Chapter 137 Friends


    After strolling around outside for a while, it was almost nine by the time they returned to


    the hotel. Sylvia was still carrying thete–night snack for Juliet.


    Cyril and Sylvia had different agendas, so they split up after leaving the café. But mysteriously, they


    bumped into each other again after having dinner.


    Once they crossed paths, Cyril silently trailed behind Sylvia, refusing to leave no matter what she


    did.


    Sylvia was at her wits‘ end. Cyril wouldn’t budge, so what could she do? She just had to let him tag


    along.


    So, after wandering around a bit more and picking up a few things for Juliet, she headed back to the


    hotel.


    Having a guy follow you around like a shadow really killed the vibe.


    Juliet opened the door, looking a bit surprised to see the two of them standing there. How did they


    end up together again?


    “Are you two nning dinner together or something?” she joked.


    Sylvia’s expression remained calm as she handed the bag to Juliet and exined, “No, we just ran


    into each other on the way and got sidetracked by some taffy.”


    “Taffy, huh? That’s fitting,” Juliet chuckled inwardly but managed to stifle it.


    “Well, anyway, get some rest. Oh, by the way, I got a call from thepany here. They want us to


    come in tomorrow to check things out. So, get some rest early,” Juliet said.


    Sylvia frowned. They were supposed to go the day after tomorrow, weren’t they? Oh well, tomorrow


    would do. She could just schedule it for the afternoon and sleep in.


    After exchanging a few more words with Juliet, Sylvia headed back to her room. But she noticed


    Cyril hadn’t gone to his own room or said anything.


    He seemed low–key standing there, but once she noticed, it was pretty annoying.


    “Don’t you have something to do?” she asked.


    “No, I just wanted to talk to you,” Cyril replied.


    Sylvia was speechless. What now? Why did everyone rted to Cyril seem to love having chats?


    First Karina, now Cyril.

    Maybe they thought talking would magically solve all their problems.


    “No need to talk. There’s nothing left between us to discuss. Haven’t we talked about this countless


    times before? We can’t see eye to eye, so there’s nothing more to say,” Sylvia said, too tired to


    engage with Cyril. After that, she went straight to her room and closed the door.


    Having gone to the subsidiarypany a day early to assess the situation, everything had been


    arranged in advance.


    Sylvia and Juliet didn’t feel entirely satisfied with how things went after leaving the medical


    “What’s the deal? How do these people get their information? No matter what angle you look at it


    from, thispany isn’t suitable for coboration. The medicalpany itself is fine, and it has


    several cooperating hospitals, but their attitude is just too much. If we coborate with them, we’ll


    have a lot of trouble,” Juliet said.


    Determining whether to coborate with apany wasn’t just about shared interests; it also


    depended on thepany’s culture. Clearly, thispany’s culture fell short.


    Juliet’s attitude indirectly reflected Sylvia’s thoughts. Sylvia agreed with her.


    “The medical equipment from thatpany seems pretty good. Let the team here gather more


    information and see if there are any other good medicalpanies out there. Mainly, we need to


    gather information onpaniespeting with this one,” Sylvia suggested: Today’s trip hadn’t


    yielded much, but who knew what otherpanies might offer.


    “Don’t worry, I already talked to the team before we left. They’ll gather more information and we


    should have news in a day or two,” Juliet reassured.


    “That’s good.”

    Sylvia thought for a moment. If there was any news, she’d have the team at the subsidiarypany


    check it out first. If they couldn’t meet the standards, it would be frustrating.


    “Oh, and about the techpany we’re visiting next, you should pay attention. I just got word this


    morning that the CEO of thatpany is friends with Cyril…”


    Sylvia was surprised. Why did Cyril’s shadow loom over everything they did? Why was he so


    persistent?


    “Friends, huh? How close?”


    “From what I’ve gathered, their rtionship seems pretty good. They were college buddies, even


    roommates. Although they haven’t been in touch for years since graduating, officially at least, they


    do run into each other on business trips. So, they’re bound to meet here in F

    country. I just don’t know if he knows about your situation with Cyril,” Juliet exined.

    Juliet showed Sylvia a photo of Cyril’s friend on her phone. Sylvia nced at it but quickly. looked


    away. Despite being with Cyril for so many years, she’d never met this person.


    But that was normal. Cyril had no intention of introducing her to his friends, so it wasn’t surprising


    that she hadn’t met this one.


    “What’s his name?”


    “Frank Davies. He’s a self–made entrepreneur, and hispany has been doing pretty well over


    the years.”


    Juliet briefed Sylvia on what she’d learned. Sylvia gradually pieced things together. Since he was a


    self–made entrepreneur, he’d likely maintain a fairer attitude and wouldn’t prioritize his rtionship


    with Cyril.


    “By the way, wasn’t Ingrid with us just now? How did she disappear in the blink of an eye?”


    They were about to head to meet Frank, but suddenly, they couldn’t find Ingrid.


    Sylvia couldn’t help but recall that day when she encountered that man. He didn’t look particrly


    outstanding, nor did he seem like an elite worker. He seemed more like a nouveau riche.
