Chapter 289: Battlefield
Since Henry and Cyril’s relationship had already been exposed in the previous episode, they didn’t bother hiding it anymore. They chatted and interacted naturally, though the Chinese staff sensed something amiss, they didn’t say anything.
When the day’s filming ended, another person arrived in the evening. The director felt like he was going to lose all his hair from the stress. It was only a three-day shoot, yet so many troublesome people showed up. Seeing the three of them living together, he joked that it looked like a battlefield.
“Balk, you didn’t tell me before the official recording started that your sister was so popular. First Cyril showed up, now Miles. How am I supposed to film this? We can’t use most of these shots. What am I going to do?”
The director complained to Balk, who shrugged. He didn’t know why Miles was here either. Most likely, Miles came because Cyril did.
“It’s no use telling me this. They’re not here for me. Talk to my sister. Besides, they won’t stay long. After all, you only have one more day of filming. Did my sister tell you anything? Just follow her instructions. And don’t worry about Miles. He won’t cause you trouble. If he doesn’t leave tonight, he won’t appear on camera tomorrow.”
Balk knew his sister well and had already made arrangements based on what she had told him. If he didn’t tie Cyril and Mia together properly, it would be interesting. Miles’s sudden appearance surprised everyone. But Miles seemed to know a lot; he immediately followed Cyril when he arrived.
Sitting together, Sylvia felt a headache coming on. Mia looked at her with hostility, even though Sylvia hadn’t done anything wrong. After Cyril arrived, he hadn’t even said a word to her. Did she deserve this hostility? And Miles, when did he arrive? Why didn’t she know? Ads by PubFuture
“Why are you here? Isn’t there enough work for you at the company? You had to come here?”
Sylvia had been busy with both the variety show and company matters these days. Many meetings were held at night, and she was exhausted. Seeing Miles show up late at night, she couldn’t understand why he would come. Wasn’t there enough work at the company? Did he have to come here and give her more to deal with?
Miles smiled gently after hearing Sylvia’s words. “I’m done with work at the company, so I came. Will I be disturbing your work?”
The variety show had already finished filming for the day. Why would he be disturbing her work? Sylvia wanted to leave to handle company matters, but with the three of them around her, she couldn’t just walk away.
“Jimmy called the other day and said you were coming to film the show, so he asked me to come and see you. He also made these cookies himself and asked me to bring them to you. He heard you might not have time to eat properly while filming, so he made these cookies for you, hoping you’d have something to eat.”

Sylvia was touched by Jimmy’s gesture. She hadn’t expected him to prepare something like this for her.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
“I can’t understand what you told the kid. When do I not have time to eat? Sylvia felt warm inside, although she was annoyed by Miles’s sudden presence, she appreciated Jimmy’s innocence.
Balk also felt helpless. He had explained to Jimmy several times that Sylvia wouldn’t go hungry while filming. With Sylvia’s status and their family being the biggest investors, there was no way she wouldn’t be fed. But kids are stubborn. They thought their parents were lying and didn’t want to share their stuff with Sylvia. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
“But Jimmy is still young, so what he made might not look good. If you mind, you can eat this instead. I bought it on the way here, it’s your favorite flavor.”
Miles remembered seeing Sylvia buy pastries from this shop when they went out together, so he bought some for her this time. Sylvia smiled when she saw the pastries. It was considerate of him.
After accepting both items, Sylvia felt happier chatting with Miles. Meanwhile, Cyril and Mia were ignored completely.
Strangely, Cyril sat quietly, not saying a word, looking like an outsider. Even Mia, who was genuinely an outsider, felt sorry for Cyril. Despite Cyril’s fondness for Sylvia, things had turned out like this.
“You’ve been busy all day, and the staff shouldn’t have time to work, right? Okay won’t delay you any longer. I’ll leave after delivering these things. When I get back, I don’t know if you have time to have a meal with me. Well, mainly Jimmy He’s worried you won’t have enough to eat here and will feel
uncomfortable.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Miles used his son as an excuse again. After all, they had just made cookies with Miles’s help. Sylvia didn’t think too much about it. Even if she guessed it was deliberate, she didn’t refuse.
“Okay, I’ll probably be leaving the day after tomorrow. After I get back, I’ll take care of company matters for a while. We can schedule a meal then.” After getting a positive response, Miles left contentedly. Before leaving, he provocatively glanced at Cyril.
