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 <b>had </b>already ced the order with the walter and started chatting with Benjamin<b>.</b>


    <b>“</b>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. <b>So</b>, he politely declined<b>, </b>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, <b>but </b>she didn’t dare ask herself, fearing it might seem suspicious, especially considering Benjamin’s not so innocent intentions towards her.


    Benjamin nced <b>at </b>Sylvia, <b>his </b>smile gentle Thave considered going back and <b>have </b>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 <b>of </b>coborating. There are plenty of projects at headquarters,” Juliet chimed in, extending the invitation Sylvia felt <b>a </b>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 <b>on</b>, the more they might think she had ulterior <b>motives</b>.


    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<b>, </b>before Cyril, things might have been different. But now, she didn’t dare touch the subject of rtionships, let alone get involved with Benjamin

    As they are, Benjamin indeed had somewhere to be, so he left <b>soon </b>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 <b>straight </b>for Sylvia.


    Now<b>, </b>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.


    As Cyril approached, <b>he </b>saw Benjamin leaning in and talking to Sylvia, and Sylvia didn’t move away

    “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 <b>leave </b>with <b>that </b>in mind? Sylvia calmly interrupted Cyell again Cyell didn’t understand her dislikes about flowers and was trying to impress her<b>. </b>But up to now, everything he had done only made Sylvia more irritated.
