After Divorce, She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress ( Sylvia and Cyril )
Chapter 80 Sending Flowers
Early in the morning, Sylvia was discussing the dayâs schedule with Jullet, when Ingrid
barged into the room without even knocking. This action agitated Sylvia, who commented, â Ever heard of knocking?â
Caught off guard by Sylviaâs directness, Ingridâs face flushed with embarrassment, âI just forgot to knock. Is it worth making such a big deal about it? Iâll remember next time. Now, look at this,â Ingrid said dismissively as she tossed some documents on the table and turned to leave.
But as Ingrid took a few steps, the documents hit her back and then fell to the floor. Sylvia had given Ingrid an indifferent glance but hadnât paid any attention since. The sound of the documents hitting the ground turned the office eerily silent, with Jullet and Sylvia too engrossed in their work to bother looking up.
âDonât go too far. Just because youâre sitting in the vice presidentâs seat doesnât make you any better!â Ingrid spat out.
âoy donât you try being vice
Juliet couldnât hold back. âQuite the accomplishment, isnât it? president then? If youâre not capable, stop whining here!â she retorted.
In Ingridâs view, the VP position was meant to be hers until Sylvia swooped in and snatched it away, which was a bitter pill to swallow.
âWeâll see how long you can keep that position. Just having good looks wonât cement your place. Lack of expertise, and youâll be ousted anyway!â Ingrid ranted before storming out without bothering with the documents.
Sylvia ignored the papers on the floor, and if Sylvia didnât care, Juliet certainly wasnât going. to bother with them. It wasnât until Jack entered and saw the fallen documents that he picked them up, unsure if it wouldâve been better just to leave them on the ground.
âVice President, you have a lunch appointment with the manager of Giri Company soon. Itâs about time to head out,â Jack informed Sylvia.
Sylvia nodded, gathered her things, and was about to leave when she spotted Ingrid also preparing to accompany them. She gave Ingrid an extra look.
What are you staring at? Iâve told you, donât think youâre above everyone else just for having some charm. In the end, itâs real capability that matters. Thatâs the biggest difference between you and me,â Ingrid said with a hint of gloating.
Sylvia remained silent as Ingrid thought Sylviaâs silence was an admission of defeat,
believing that sheâd secure the partnership this time and finally have the chance to bring Sylvia down.
They set off, with Ingrid taking her own car, while the other three shared another vehicle. Soon, they arrived at the restaurant they had booked.
As they reached the restaurant, Sylvia halted. She started to wonder if she was choosing the wrong times to go out since she seemed to run into Cyril overy time. And it wasnât just any meeting â Cyril was there with the manager of Girl Company, and they appeared to be getting along quite well,
âHello Sylvia, this is my good friend. We were classmates overseas, and after running into each other this year, I invited them to join us for lunch, I hope you donât mind?â Henry said, introducing his friend,
What could Sylvia say to that? She smiled and shook her head. âWeâre not discussing business today, so itâs like making a new friend,â
Sylviaâs demeanor was such that she seemed not to acknowledge Cyril at all. Cyril, wanting to greet her, couldnât well continue after her statement, so he simply nodded a hello,
But Sylvia acted as if she didnât even notice his nod, settling into her seat.
Once Sylvia sat down, everyone else followed suit, including Henry, the general manager of Gilli Company, who presented her with a dazzling bouquet of roses. Sylvia was taken aback. It was surprising enough to receive flowers, but roses were particularly suggestive.
âThe last time I saw you, I was impressed by your demeanor. During our time discussing the partnership, Iâve discovered youâre a very capable woman, and Iâd like to get to know you better,â Henry confessed, not hiding his true feelings,
Sylvia paused for a moment before laughing. âThank you, but thereâs something you might not know. I recently got divorced and am not currently interested in romance. So, these roses might not be the most suitable for me. If you feel bad about it, perhaps my assistant Juliet would appreciate your bouquet.â
With that, she shifted the focus to Juliet, who reacted by playfully pinching Sylvia under the table. In response, Sylvia gave Julietâs hand a firm pat, all done without showing any reaction above the table.
âThese flowers really are lovely, Iâll share them with our office colleagues. Thank you, Henry,â Juliet said, standing up to graciously accept the flowers and placing them to the side, sparing Henry further embarrassment.
âI apologize for not being aware of your situation. Iâve caused you trouble, but I still hope that maybe thereâs a chance for us to develop something more in the future,â Henry added.
Chapter 80 Sending Flowers
Sylvia offered only a smile, without a direct response. Ingrid, meanwhile, clearly struggled to watch the exchange in silence.
âSheâs quite busy with her career, having recently become the VP. If she got into a
relationship now, it could distract her from her responsibilities. Henry, you shouldnât let your own interests delay others,â Ingrid said with a backhanded tone, although no one called her out on it.
Now Henry felt even more awkward. He didnât quite understand why Ingrid was tagging along, but since he had brought Cyril, having Sylvia bring someone didnât seem so strange.
