<b>Chapter</b>21 Want<b>to</b>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<b>the</b>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<b>?</b>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<b>a</b>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.

    <b>Wracked</b><b>with</b>guilt,<b>Barry</b>quickly offered to grab antacids though a thorough search found none in the office<b>.</b>Then he remembered who<b>used</b>to prepare them.


    <b>“</b>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<b>your</b>boss instead of you being my assistant? If you can’t handle such basic tasks, why do I waste vast sums paying your sry<b>?</b>”


    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<b>had</b>to support his struggling boss weakened by pain.


    In the car, Barry reviewed workce divisions and realized Cyril’s personal needs<b>had</b>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<b>,</b>no matter Sylvia’s involvement. Else what purpose did he serve Cyril?
