Chapter 139: Pursue if You Like

Frank had known Cyril for so many years, yet he had never seen Cyril lose his cool in front of a woman like this before. Suddenly, Frank found himself intrigued by Sylvia. What kind of person was she to make Cyril take notice like that?
Oh, right, Cyril had recently gone through a divorce, could it be that she was the one he wanted to pursue?
Well, if that was the case, it wouldn’t be so bad.
“Nice to meet you.”
“Don’t know you.
The two responses were different, and the atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward.
Frank and Juliette didn’t know what to say. Funny how the more awkward it got, the more it seemed to highlight their relationship, isn’t it?
Frank gave a knowing smile, choosing not to expose their little secret.
Seemed like they had some sort of disagreement or something, but Frank didn’t want to get too involved in their personal matters.
“Please, follow me.”
With most of the people gathered, they should head to the conference room to chat. But Sylvia hadn’t expected Cyril to follow them in.
Seeing Sylvia’s gaze constantly on Cyril, Frank quickly explained, “Well, you see, Cyril is also a shareholder in my company. He’ll be involved in this collaboration we’re discussing. Normally, he wouldn’t be, but he happened to be around these days, so he’s here to take a look. But rest assured, I still have the final say on this matter.”
After hearing this, Sylvia couldn’t quite place her feelings. She just didn’t want to get involved with Cyril, but how come things seemed to be getting more complicated?
Should’ve seen it coming, Juliette had told her that Cyril and Frank were friends. If they were friends, then having shares in a friend’s company wasn’t that unusual after all.
When Cyril first appeared, she thought he was here to compete with her.
Turns out it wasn’t about competition at all, but about the possibility of becoming partners. Thinking about it, Sylvia felt a bit uneasy.

“Oh, I see. Your company’s technology looks very impressive. Can I ask when you started?”
“It’s been quite a while. I was really interested in this field when I was in college. Cyril was my roommate at the time, so he helped me a lot. His assistance played a part in establishing the company, so I consult him on many decisions, as long as they don’t violate our principles.”
Frank explained.
After listening, Juliette smiled and didn’t inquire further. Just now, Frank had said he could decide, but now he was saying he would consult Cyril.
Was that intentional? Clearly, it was to tell them that if they were to collaborate, Cyril would
also be involved.
“But in business, isn’t it mainly about prioritizing interests over anything else?” Frank’s words had a hint of meaning. Sylvia and Juliette fell silent, what did he mean?
Did he think that because of Cyril, they wouldn’t reach this collaboration agreement?
At the beginning, when they discussed this collaboration, Frank didn’t act this way. But seeing Cyril and Sylvia together seemed to change his mind.
“You’re right. We need to carefully consider suitable matters. After all, it concerns the interests of two companies. We’ll be in touch about any further developments.”
Sylvia continued Frank’s words, also taking the opportunity to excuse themselves.
Frank hesitated, wanting to say something to salvage the situation, but Sylvia and Juliette had already stood up and left, Ingrid following Sylvia out.
When they left, Frank turned to Cyril.
“I’m very willing to cooperate with her. But if this collaboration fails because of you, how will you compensate me?”
“Do you want to cooperate with her?”
Cyril looked at Frank with some surprise, then he understood the meaning behind Frank’s
actions.
“What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with that? That’s Ivan Group. Anyone with a bit of sense wouldn’t refuse such a good opportunity.”
Frank made sense, Cyril didn’t know what to say.
“Of course, what I care about isn’t h
this collaboration. I’m more curious about your

relationship with her. What exactly is going on between you two? Your gaze at her seems quite intense. If you like her, you should hurry up and pursue her. A girl like her surely has no shortage of admirers.”
Anyone who could secure a position in Ivan Group must be outstanding, especially as a vice president. This only highlighted Sylvia’s capabilities.
With such a status, there must be no shortage of suitors.
Hearing Frank’s words, Cyril was taken aback. “You think there would be many people who like her?”
Frank looked at him strangely. Wasn’t that obvious? Of course, there would be plenty of admirers. Excellent women always attract attention. Wasn’t this a strange thing to say?
“Of course, if you don’t want
don’t want to pursue her, then I’ll go for it. Honestly, she’s a really remarkable person.”
“You also think she’s remarkable? Then why can’t I see it?”
Cyril lowered his head, hiding his true feelings. Frank looked at him, puzzled.
With a woman as outstanding as her, why couldn’t Cyril see it? What was going on in his mind?
“Seriously, is there something wrong with your head? You can’t see how remarkable she is? Honestly, cooperating with her would only elevate our company. What are you thinking? If everything’s fine, I’m quite willing to cooperate with her.”
“She probably doesn’t want to cooperate with us anymore,” Cyril said with a bitter smile.
It was Frank’s first meeting with Sylvia, but he already thought she was a very outstanding person. He felt that she deserved to be liked by many people. But all these years, he couldn’t see it, and because of his repeated ignorance, Sylvia suffered so much. If it weren’t for that, Sylvia might have shone brightly by now.
Of course, if Sylvia were as radiant as she was now, he might not have been able to have her completely like he did before.
It was such a pity. Now, because of his appearance, this collaboration might never happen again.
