"What are you afraid of? You haven't been unfaithful, what's wrong with me listening?" Ernie said as if it was taken for granted.
Sylvie's face changed.
"What? What do you want to do to me?"
Sure enough, Sylvie's teeth were clenched tightly, and when he asked, she herself got stuck. This person was really hateful and had the ability to make her crazy.
"Young lady, let me remind you, don't take it too seriously, once the Hughes Group crisis is over, and this beautiful woman comes back, do you still have a place to stand?"
Sylvie looked at him, "It is none of your business!"
"Young lady, it's not shameful to like Marley. Getting married doesn't mean that Marley will really belong to you. What you have is just a marriage certificate. Jemima is in love with him, and loves him dearly. I guess you are about to get divorced! Don't say that I didn't remind you!"
"Thanks for your reminder but this is my business. If you have nothing to do in your spare time, go and leave me alone! I'm going!" Sylvie smiled and turned to leave.
"It's okay, if he doesn't want you anymore, come to me, no matter how shameless I am, I can raise you!"
Sylvie curled her eyes mockingly. What if they got divorced? She knew the ending from the beginning on.
She shouldn't be disturbed by others, just do what she wanted to do. Once she listened to what he said, he would lose his rationality and did things beyond the constraints of reason.
She turned around, looked at Ernie, thought of something, and suddenly smiled, "If you really have the ability, don't count on the 300 million from the Hughes Group! You are born from the same root, so why bother with each other! Marley and I will part ways sooner or later, but you are cousins, why bother? If the Hughes family is ruined by you and it gets out, it will not be so good, will it?"
Her words made Ernie stunned slightly, looking at her smiling face, that smile was so proud and unruly, with a strong impact, it was beautiful and dazzling!
Ernie blinked, but looked at her fascinated. "Sylvie, people need redemption, why don't you come to redeem me?"
His tone was a bit ambiguous, he called her name so seriously and hoarsely, Sylvie? Her heart trembled, thinking of Sunshine! Uh! Only Sunshine called her Sylvie. Sylvie frowned. "There is no savior in the world, only you can save yourself!"
"But is it really Marley?"
"I don't understand what you are talking about!" Sylvie's heart froze.
"Is Marley that good?" Ernie said in a puzzled voice.
"Better than you!" Sylvie said firmly.
"That's right!" Ernie laughed at himself. "He is really good! He is indeed better than me in the eyes of outsiders."
There was an inexplicable emotion in his tone, which made Sylvie listen to it with a trace of sorrow and grief, so concealed, and so deep. As she listened, she felt confused, but she had no time to take care of it.
They had already come out because of Marley, coming out from the other side of the corridor. Marley saw Sylvie and Ernie standing there on this side of the corridor, his eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of danger.
"Sylvie, come here!" Marley shouted suddenly.
At first no one paid attention, so everyone was shocked by Marley's voice.
Sylvie immediately walked towards him. At this moment, she saw Marley smile at her as she walked over, and Sylvie just thought that smile was a bit dazzling.
Kasper and Teddie glanced at her, Sylvie nodded slightly, and the group walked towards the elevator.
Marley stood there, waiting for her to approach, he held her hand in a low and gentle voice he said, "Don't waste time with unimportant people, you have a lot of work and a lot of things to learn!"
"Uh!" Sylvie nodded hurriedly.
"Make me a cup of tea!" he said.
Sylvie felt a little silly, and suddenly remembered that she hadn't learned how to make coffee, she was really not efficient recently.
"Coming now!" Sylvie went to the pantry, when she came out again, Ernie had already left!
She made a cup of green tea, the tea leaves were tightly knotted and curled up like snails. After brewing, the color was bright green, the flavor was rich and fragrant. She sent it to Marley's office, he was sitting in the executive chair, raised his eyes, and slowly looked at her.
"Tea!" Sylvie put the tea in front of him.
He took a sip.
"I'm going to work!" Sylvie whispered.
Marley glanced at her slowly, the small face under the hair was still a little red and swollen, Sadie's palm print was very heavy and hard.
"Yeah!" Marley nodded. "Go!"
Sylvie left the president's office and returned to her seat.
He tasted the tea again. Last time it was black tea, this time it was green tea. Although the tea tasted different, it was the same sweetness, which had an endless aftertaste.
At the end of the day, as usual, there were only two people left on the top floor.
Sylvie packed up her things and saw Marley also walk out of the president's office.
"Dad will be discharged from the hospital at noon tomorrow, we will pick him up!" Marley said.
"Oh! Okay!" Sylvie nodded and said no more.
"Does your face still hurt?" Marley asked.
"It's okay!" Sylvie lowered her head and said.
"Then let's go!"
When going downstairs, it was quiet in the elevator, Sylvie kept her head down, and Marley didn't speak much, atmosphere was a bit down.
"Didn't you say you were going to stay away from Ernie, what's going on today?"
"He is annoying!"
"Can't you go out of his way a little bit?" Marley's eyes tightened, his icy gaze penetrated her, "I told you to stay away from him, you have to stay away even if he is annoying!"
Sylvie clenched her fist suddenly, biting her lips.
