After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress ( Sylvia and Cyril ) Chapter 135

Chapter 135: Business Trip

Sylvia’s trip to Country F wasn’t a spur–of–the–moment decision; it had been in the works for quite some time. This time around, she wasn’t just heading to F for that medical company, there were other companies waiting for her to assess the situation.

Plus, she received some fresh news that in F, there’s this smart tech company with remarkable Al capabilities. If they could strike a deal, their projects could really take off.

Sylvia wasn’t traveling alone this time, she had Juliet Ingrid accompanying her. Originally, it was just Juliet tagging along, but upon learning about the trip to F, Ingrid insisted on joining, stating she could help Sylvia settle into the F branch’s environment quickly.

It was obvious to anyone with half an eye that Ingrid was deliberately coming along. Sylvia also wanted to see what Ingrid was up to, so she agreed.

And so, they set off together.

After a dozen hours of flying, they touched down in F.

“Let’s take it easy today, tidy up these materials tomorrow, and the day after, we’ll check out the

subsidiary and then pay visits to those two companies,” was their initial plan.

Originally, Sylvia planned to spend about half a month in F, but with Ingrid’s arrival, she could extend her stay a bit.

Of course, if their trip to F proved fruitful, they could extend it further.

So with ample time on their hands, there was no need to rush into anything else. They had to get themselves settled first before tackling other matters.

The F branch had already sent someone to pick them up and had arranged hotel accommodations. They were driven straight to the hotel. Sylvia hadn’t anticipated bumping into Cyril there.

It had been a few days since they last met, so seeing Cyril again didn’t faze Sylvia. She thought he might come over to chat, but unexpectedly, Cyril just glanced at her, checked in, and headed upstairs with his

entourage.

Juliet was surprised by Cyril’s aloof reaction. She leaned over to Sylvia and whispered, “What’s up? Did you two have a fight? He’s unusually cold; it’s not like him.”

Sylvia couldn’t help but chuckle at Juliet’s remark. Wasn’t a little aloofness better?

Their relationship was what it was. Did Cyril have to keep being overly friendly? Sylvia couldn’t accept that. “I don’t think there’s anything else to it. I just made an offhand comment. You know how Cyril was constantly pursuing you before. Now, suddenly, he’s cold as ice. It’s a bit strange to me. Maybe he’s got something up his sleeve? Do you think our discussions on cooperation have something to do with him? Is he intentionally trying to throw a wrench in your plans?” Juliet’s mind was already conjuring up various scenarios from just a brief encounter. Sylvia couldn’t help but marvel at Juliet’s active imagination.

Chapter 125 HEINTES Tip

“You’re overthinking it. Hardly anyone knows about our trip to F, and it’s not like Cyril has any connection to the companies we’re visiting. How could he know about my itinerary? Cyril being here must be coincidental. Maybe he’s just here on business like us, but luck hasn’t been on his side, ending up in the same hotel,” Sylvia reasoned. Jullet didn’t press further, sensing there might be more to Cyril’s presence.

After checking in, Sylvia instructed the subsidiary’s representatives to meet in two days and then retired to her room for some rest.

Sylvia was a bit weary, but due to jet lag, she found it hard to fall asleep. Glancing at the time, she realized it was almost dinner time. Sylvia thought about calling Jullet to go out for a meal together.

As she stepped out of her room to knock on Juliet’s door, the adjacent room’s door opened too. Sylvia instinctively turned, locking eyes with Cyril again.

For some reason, Sylvia recalled Juliet’s words from downstairs. If once was an accident and twice a coincidence, then Cyril living next door felt more than just that.

They stared at each other for a moment before Sylvia broke the silence. “Are you here on business?”

“Yes, there’s some trouble brewing at the company, so I’m here to sort it out,” Cyril replied curtly, as if speaking to a stranger, then turned and left swiftly, preoccupied with a phone call.

Watching him leave, Sylvia couldn’t shake off the feeling that Cyril’s presence here was more than just a coincidence. She hoped he was genuinely here for business and nothing else.

Just as Sylvia was about to knock on Juliet’s door, Juliet opened it herself.

“I saw you talking to Cyril just now. Something’s definitely fishy about his being here. Anyway, I’m about to hit the hay. Did you need something?” Juliet said.

…I was thinking of going out for dinner together.

“But I’m not hungry. Why don’t you go alone? Leave me a midnight snack at the door for when I wake up,” Juliet suggested before hugging Sylvia and kissing her cheek, then retreating into her room, thanking her and shutting the door.

Watching the door close, Sylvia couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed. That’s just how Juliet was.

Since Juliet was off to bed, Sylvia didn’t want to push. Dining alone felt a bit lonely, but she didn’t intend to invite Ingrid either. So, she pulled out her phone to search for nearby restaurants.

As she reached the lobby via the elevator, she bumped into Cyril again, who seemed to be agitated on the phone, furrowing his brows with an impatient expression.

Things must be quite complicated at his company, Sylvia thought to herself.

The subsidiary had arranged a driver for her, but since she was only going out for dinner, she didn’t call for one. Instead, she found her way to a taxi stand using navigation, ready to head out.
