    Chapter 152: Roses


    Sylvia hadn’t dined here before, so she wasn’t sure how the food tasted. But seeing Benjamin


    looking sofortable, she figured the food here must be decent.


    While they were chatting, pallet had already ced the order with the walter and started chatting


    with Benjamin.


    “You’re dining alone, right? Why don’t you join us? It would be fun to have a little trio,” juliet


    suggested.


    Benjamin was tempted to ept, but he knew if he did, Sylvia might not be too pleased. So, he


    politely declined, saying he had other ns and would leave right after dinner.


    Hearing Benjamin’s response, Juliet didn’t push further. However, she seemed more excited talking


    to Benjamin than she did with Sylvia, as if trying to build a rapport with him,


    “Theard from her brother that you’ve been working here for a long time. Have you ever thought


    about going back to your country for opportunities? Juliet’s question intrigued Sylvia, but she didn’t


    dare ask herself, fearing it might seem suspicious, especially considering Benjamin’s not so


    innocent intentions towards her.


    Benjamin nced at Sylvia, his smile gentle Thave considered going back and have been


    preparing for ittely. But to fully rebar, it might take about half a year.”


    “That’s great! If youe back, we could explore the possibility of coborating. There are plenty of


    projects at headquarters,” Juliet chimed in, extending the invitation Sylvia felt a headacheing


    on. They had no connection whatsoever, yet they were already talking about coboration. What


    were they going to coborate on? Was she supposed tomit her life to it?


    “Let’s eat, dishes are served,” Sylvia quickly interrupted Juliet, spooning some fruit into her mouth.


    She couldn’t continue this conversation. The longer it went on, the more they might think she had


    ulterior motives.


    Benjamin remained silent, watching Sylvia with a warm, non–threatening smile.


    Honestly, Sylvia had no idea Benjamin had other intentions towards her. If they had met earlier,


    before Cyril, things might have been different. But now, she didn’t dare touch the subject of


    rtionships, let alone get involved with Benjamin


    dback, grabbed a chair, and


    As they are, Benjamin indeed had somewhere to be, so he left soon after finishing dinner.


    However, just as he took a few steps away, he suddenly turned t ced it next to Sylvia


    Both Sylvia and Juliet were puzzled, not understanding why Benjamin did this. Then they saw


    someone approaching – Cyril.


    Cyril held a bouquet of roses, heading straight for Sylvia.


    Now, both Sylvia and Juliet understood why Benjamin had returned and sat next to Sylvia.


    Besides Benjamin’s affection for Sybia, there was alsopetition between him and Cyril So,


    seizing the opportunity to inconvenience Cyril, Benjamin wouldn’t miss it.


    As Cyril approached, Benjamin leaned close to Sybta and whispered in her ear, “Theard you two


    are divorced. I guess you don’t want to be bothered by him. So, I took the liberty toe over. You


    wouldn’t refuse, would your


    Benjamin wasn’t wrong. Syhda indeed didn’t want to be bothered by Cyril. Thus, she didn’t object to


    Benjamin sitting next to her, remaining calm. N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    As Cyril approached, he saw Benjamin leaning in and talking to Sylvia, and Sylvia didn’t move


    away


    Feeling a bit hurt, was be toote?


    “why did you c


    Cyril ced the bouquet of roses on the table. Sylvia subtly moved away from t


    “What’s wrong with you? Are you trying to make me sick? Couldn’t you just ask if it’s okay? Why


    bring flowers when you know she’s allergic to pollen? And don’t you know roses are thest thing


    she likes? Who are you trying to disgust?” Juliet’s reaction was strong as she moved the bouquet to


    another table.


    “Are you sick? You obviously know I dislike roses and have pollen allergies. Yet, you brought this


    bouquet. Besides, you should know roses are thest thing I like. Who are you trying to disgust?”


    Sylda calmly interrupted Cyril’s apology. Cyril didn’t understand her dislikes about flowers and was


    trying to impress her. But up to now, everything he had done only made Sylvia more ritated..


    “I’m sorry, L.”


    “I know. You didn’t know I disliked roses or had pollen allergies After all these years, you didn’t


    know much about me. So, you brought this bouquet, which I detest, just as you detest me. Since


    you now know, could you leave with that in mind? Sylvia calmly interrupted Cyell again Cyell didn’t


    understand her dislikes about flowers and was trying to impress her. But up to now, everything he


    had done only made Sylvia more irritated.


    Silenced, Cyril had nothing more to say.


    Indeed, whether it’s love or hate, sometimes, there’s no reason. If there had to be a reason for love


    or hate, then the reason Sybda hated roses was simply because Cyril had given


    them to her.

    “I remember when we were in middle school, your brother attended your awards ceremony and


    brought you a bouquet of tulips. You loved tulips, Benjamin suddenly spoke up.
