Chapter 130: What Are You Doing Here?
As they reached the crossroads, Duncan wasn’t too keen, but eventually, Bruce convinced him to get out, so he hopped into his car and headed home. The two cars parted ways at the fork in the road.
Once Duncan exited the car, Sylvia felt the atmosphere Inside finally return to normal. Even the driver couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
“I know you and Miranda are close, so naturally, your relationship with Duncan is good too. That’s why I want to ask about the status between you and Duncan. How far has it progressed? If your next step is to rekindle a romantic relationship, I won’t stop you. But if you’re considering marriage again, I suggest you think it over carefully. Duncan is a decent guy, but I don’t think he’s marriage material.”
Bruce dropped a bombshell right off the bat, leaving Sylvia wide–eyed and unsure of what to say.
She only saw Duncan as a good friend, no different from her relationship with Miranda. Why did it sound wrong coming from Bruce?
“Big brother, are you mistaken? My relationship with Duncan isn’t as complicated as you think. We’re just friends, nothing more. You know he’s always been a bit unreliable, prone to these kinds of situations. It’s just that he’s been abroad for years, so you’re not used to it.”
Sylvia tried to clarify, but Bruce could see through her clear gaze that Sylvia hadn’t thought much about it. But a man understands men best, and he knows Duncan’s true intentions, both today and in the past. However, Sylvia seemed oblivious.
If Duncan didn’t show his hand, there wasn’t much more to say to avoid involving Sylvia further.
“Alright, just a passing remark. It’s just that his attitude towards you seems different. If there’s no issue, then let it be. But whatever you decide, I won’t stand in your way. However, there’s one thing you must do -accept the entire Ivan family.”
Bruce changed the subject, avoiding further talk about Duncan. He moved on to work matters, mentioning the discussions he had during their dance about potential collaborations.
Sylvia couldn’t help but admire her brother’s industriousness. Even in such settings, he remembered to discuss business. She couldn’t recall such details.
As they chatted, they arrived home. It was late, so they tidied up and retired to their respective rooms to
rest.
Early
the next morning, Sylvia woke up and checked the headlines on her phone. True to her expectations, her name and Cyril’s were prominently featured in both entertainment and business sections.
She felt a headache coming on. Duncan’s name wasn’t mentioned; he must have done something. But seeing her name linked with Cyril’s irritated her.
Running her fingers through her hair, she decided against delving deeper into the content and shut her phone off to get ready.
