Chapter 154: Why Him?


    You know, it’s funny how things work out sometimes. Like, this whole <b>idea</b>, it’s not really <b>a </b>problem, you know? If this coboration goes smoothly, then maybe the next one will too. There’s this thing: the reason Frank is their best bet is because theirpany’s philosophy aligns pretty darn well with theirs. So, there’s a good chance for more


    coborations down the line.


    From a businessman’s perspective, Frank’spromise this time is actually setting the stage for smoother cooperation in the future. Plus, by not dragging Cyril into this round, it shows <b>he’s </b>not looking to negotiate with Cyril right now. He’s just trying to <b>seal </b>this deal on his own. Sylvia’s pretty pleased about that, but…


    “Let’s <b>not </b>rush into saying yes to him. We need to discuss internally first. We’ve been looking at a few other suitablepaniestely and need topare them. So, we can’t guarantee working with them just yet. If it doesn’t work out this time, we hope there’ll be another chance in the future,”


    Juliette knows exactly what Cyril’s been up totely. Shees up with this whole spiel aboutparingpanies, and honestly, it’s a decent excuse. It’ll make Frank feel a bit


    *50, the reason you’re saying all this is to double–check if there might be any difficulties with this venture? Frank wouldn’t pull something like that, would he?”


    “They’ve known each other for years. Last time, Frank even mentioned Cyril himself. It shows he wants to help Cyril. Even though he’spromising this time, we still need to be prepared What it he mies to involve Cyril again?”


    Sylvia’s thinking <b>ahead </b>more than Juliette, Juliette nods seriously after bearing Sylvia our. Yeah, there’s a real possibility of that. They’re practically on the same boat, those two. “Alright, I’ll reply to himter.”


    After chamring for a bit and finishing their meal, they head back to the office, each getting back to their own tasks.


    Even though sylvia’s leaning towards working with Frank, she needs to mitigate some risks, past then, her phone rings. It’s Bruce callin


    Seeing the call, Sylvia sighs. She knows it’s probably Juliette waking off to inform her big brother again.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    She just wanted to see where Frank stands and wasn’t nning on sealing the deal immediately. Why the need for this tattling?


    Sylvia sighs again and answers the phone, “Hey, big brother.”


    *50, Julette just called me saying you’ve decided to work with Frank. Why him? There are plenty of other options, logically speaking.”


    <b>Bruce </b>already knows <b>about </b>Frank and Cyril’s connection, so he’s curious why Sy picked Frank over others.


    other options are great, but Frank’s team has more mature technology. Plus, Frank’s pretty easy to handle. Just pull out Cyn <b>in </b><b>a </b>few things, and we’re good<b>. </b>So, the risks are lower in this scenario. But haven’tmitted to working with them right away. I just want to keep him hanging for a while.”


    <b>“</b>So, the bottom line is you’re still going with Frank. You know Frank and Cyril are connected. Why choose him? Can’t it be Benjamin? Benjamin’spany can also coborate with us, just not on this project”


    my


    Big brother, your intentions are a bit too obvious. If the projects are different, how could we coborate? If we do coborate, it’ll be in the future. And if you keep prying into m lovelife like this, I’ll call Dad and have him set you up on more blind dates,”


    Bruce goes quiet. He’s not hell–bent on Syhd getting into another rtionship, he just thinks Benjamin might be <b>a </b>safer bet than others.


    And Benjamin’s more than willing to be that tall guy. If Benjamin’s <b>fine </b>with it, what more is there to say?


    “Alright, alright, I won’t say anything more. You decide on this coboration yoursell. The subsidiary’s matters are settled. How are you nning to handle Ingrid?


    Bruce doesn’t want to continue discussing the coboration issue. Since Sylvia’s <b>made </b>up her mind, there’s not much more to say. Besides, Sylvia’s right. Working with Frank <b>does </b>reduce some risks, and with Cyril’s current situation well, let’s just <b>say </b>they’re holding the <b>cards</b>.


    Alter discussing work matters, they hang up it’s still work hours<b>, </b>after all, and they both have plenty to do.


    As soon as she ends the call, juliste bursts in, all flustered “Uh–oh, trouble’s brewing! Karina just announced her pregnancy online, and guess whose baby she’s carrying?


    Cyll’s!”


    <b>Sylvia’s </b>expression darkens instantly, Karina’s pregnant? What does that make of the past few years for Syhta? And why now, when Cyril’s in this mess?


    “I told you this guy wasn’t any good. Look at him, still tangled up with his <b>ex</b>, and now there’s a pregnancy bombshell. What are we going to <b>do</b><b>?</b>” Juliette looks at Sylvia, seeing her troubled expression, feeling for her. But the dead’s been done.
