Chapter 157: Time to Leave
Sylvia’s life continued on its usual track. Work was going smoothly on this end, but cooperation with Frank had hit a bit of a snug again.
The reason? Cell. He had been trying to seize every chance to meet Sybia and explain the situation between him and Karina
Sylvia was beyond annoyed. She ended up blaming Frank for it, which made Frank feel unfairly targeted. After all, it was Cyril’s own doing, yet Frank was being dragged into it.
Frank was having a major headache over this but felt powerless.
“I’ll leave the follow–up tasks to someone else. I need to head back to headquarters, My brother is about to go on a business trip, and there’s no one managing things there..”
Technically, Sylla shouldn’t be burdened with headquarters matters for now. However, bruce had full faith in his sister’s capability to handle it all, so he unhesitatingly passed everything to Sylvia
Sylvia was overwhelmed but had no choice. She temporarily set aside the subsidiary’s affairs and delegated her tasks to others. Since things were almost sorted with Frank, and he was willing to compromise, they were okay with it. All that remained was signing contracts and ironing out the details of their collaborations.
But headquarters still needed her attention.
Once Sylvia confirmed arrangements, she lett ahead. Juliet stayed behind to brief and finalizematters with Frank’s company, with Sylvia gone, Juliet became the key figurein managing affales here.
It took two days for Cyril to learn that Sylvia had returned.
“Right, the word I got is Brace is going on a business trip, so he handed over company matters to Syria. And Sylvia has delegated everything here to her subordinates. Also, Miss Karina…”
Barry belt really downcast. Each of these matters tested his patience greatly. Neither Karina nor Sylvia made decisions easy, especially Karina, who was now pregnant, complicating matters further. Paris was practically tearing his hair out dealing with her, as her demeanor had completely changed.
“Have you found out what happened that day?
Cyril didn’t believe he had relations with Karina. He vaguely remembered meeting her two months ago in a public setting
He had a few drinks that day and couldn’t recall what happened afterward. But when he woke up, Karina was beside him, insisting nothing happened between them. Yet, how did she end up pregnant?
“We checked the surveillance footage. It indeed showed Karina accompanying you to the hotel, and she didn’t come out afterward. But before she left, another man entered the hotel. It’s unclear if he had any connection with Barina, Shall we continue investigating?”
“Continue. I want every detall of this investigated thoroughly.”
Cyril’s expression turned extremely grim. He couldn’t tolerate being deceived by Karina. If this child wasn’t his, it meant Karina had crossed his boundaries repeatedly.
“Alright, boss. Do we need to reschedule with Sylvia? She’s back in her country now.”
Berry inquired again. Last time Cyril insisted on meeting Sylvia, but despite numerous attempts, they couldn’t secure a meeting. The message from Sylvia’s end was always she was too busy, Secretly, Barry was informed that Sylvia had instructed them to decline any appointments Cyril made, regardless of his availability
So, no matter how hard he tried to schedule, Cyril couldn’t get Sylvia’s time,
“If we can’t schedule it, won’t you try again? Use your brain and think of other ways. Also, book a return ticket to her country. You’ve done enough here.”
“Understood, boss.”
When the boss spoke like that, what else could Barry say? He obediently booked the ticket and wrapped up the company’s affairs, notifying headquarters personnel that the boss would be back soon to sign documents.
Upon her return to the company, Sylvia dived headfirst into the hectic routine. Bruce had indeed taken care of most things, but there were still loose ends she needed to tie up. Syhta found herself drowning in work to the point where she didn’t want to continue anymore.
She messaged Bruce, complaining about the excessive workload here. Bruce replied calmly, “From now on, the entire company is yours.”
Seeing that message, Sylvia, rarely silent, pondered. If this company was going to be solely hers, did it mean she had to deal with all this workload every day?
If that were the case, she needed to reconsider her position as vice president. After all, it didn’t matter who took over the company within the family, the workload would be similar, right?
“Dad, it’s not that I don’t want to come back. Brace has handed over all the work to me, and I’m swamped. Why don’t you call him and ask him to come back, or come here yourself to help me out? I can’t handle it all alone.”
Sylvia headed upstairs, receiving a call from her father urging her to come home for dinner.
She had been back from abroad for half a month, spending most of her time at the office she barely had time to go home for a meal Sylvia hoped her brother would rebar soo00. “You must come for dinner tonight, no excuses. Grandpa Cyril is here, and you know how he is. He’s definitely here to cause trouble”
Manford understood his daughter was incredibly busy, but there was no way he could ask her for help. It he did, she would surely refuse. After all, she had finally taken over the roinguny, and he didn’t want to bother her.
“Why did that old man come over?
Sylvis never spoke so impolitely to anyone, but with Cyril’s family, it was different.
here to give you a hard time You know very well. All this fuss about Cyril and Farina recently.”
