Chapter 2182
Sylvia pulled back slightly from the man''s lips, her voice low, "It''s noisy, I don''t like these people,
and I don''t like this ce."
"Head home?" Gabriel asked.
"Mhm."
Gabriel took the cocktail from her hand and ced it on the coffee table, lifting her in his arms
without saying goodbye to anyone, and strode towards the exit.
The crowd was left stunned once again.
It wasn''t until the door closed and their figures disappeared that Dannis, with a stunned expression,
blurted out, "Are they, like, going to get a room or something?"
He could tell Baron was into Sylvia, so was Gabriel deliberately stealing her right from under
Baron''s nose?
There was an Audrey before, and now a Sylvia!
But Gabriel had ignored Audrey before, and this time he just scooped Sylvia up in front of Baron!
With a loud crash, Baron smashed his ss on the coffee table, the shards scattering with the
sshes of his drink.
"Ah!"
The hostesses around screamed and dodged.
"Baron, cool it, man. That chick''s got no ss, can''t recognize a decent guy. Don''t stoop to her
level!" Dannis tried to calm him down.
Eugene shot up, pointing at Dannis, "Who are you calling a chick?"
Dannis sneered, "What''s the matter, talking about Sylvia? She wouldn''t give you the time of day,
and you''re still licking your wounds?"

Eugene reached for a bottle to hit Dannis, but Baron beat him to it, smashing a bottle over Dannis''
head.
The bottle shattered on impact, and Dannis stumbled back. Other than the hostesses'' screams,
nobody else dared to speak.
Baron''s face was a mask of cold fury, "I''ve set my sights on Sylvia, and if anyone dares to challenge
me, I''ll make them regret it!"
Eugene scoffed, "I''m right here. If you''ve got the guts,e at me!"
Baron''s eyes mocked him coldly, "You''re not even in the running. I''m talking about Gabriel!"
The thought of that tall man gave Eugene a pang in his heart.
Shirley looked on, her gaze flickering and her brows furrowed, sensing trouble brewing for Gabriel.
Gabriel, holding Sylvia, stepped out of the private room and walked down the plush carpeted
hallway. As he loosened his grip to let Sylvia down, she protested.
"Don''t!" Sylvia clung tighter to him, her voice yful and soft, "My legs really hurt, I don''t want to
walk!"
After herint, she added in a murmur, "You caused it, you have to take care of it."
Gabriel''s tone was teasing, "So fragile, and you wanted to invite me for coffee?"
As Sylvia spoke close to his ear, her lips asionally brushed against his, "Of course, whenever
Gab needs me, I can''t turn him away. That''s the spirit of a femme fatale."
Her voice was sultry andzy, her breath warm on his neck.
Knowing she was tipsy, Gabriel tightened his arm around her, striding towards the exit.
Both had been drinking, and the hotel arranged for a designated driver. As Gabriel helped Sylvia
into the car, she wouldn''t let go.
The driver kept ncing back.
Gabriel frowned but spoke patiently, "Get in the car, we''re going home."
Only then did Sylvia open her eyes and obediently release him, settling into the car.
As soon as Gabriel got in, she leaned against him again, resting in his embrace, hershes
drooping, her lips soft and inviting.
This time, Gabriel didn''t push her away. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders, making her
comfortable, and gave the driver the address.
Sylvia slept soundly during the drive, asionally nuzzling into Gabriel''s neck like a cat dreaming of
cream, only to be gently pushed away by his hand. She would let out a muffled giggle and then go
back to snoozing.
Traffic was a bit heavy, and it took an hour to reach Willowbrook za.
Of course, Gabriel carried her upstairs, and upon entering the apartment, he asked while taking off
his shoes, "Aren''t you going to get down?"
