Chapter 135: Business Trip
Sylvia’s trip to Country F wasn’t a spur–of–the–moment decision; it had been in the works for quite some time. This time around, she wasn’t just heading to F for that medical company, there were other companies waiting for her to assess the situation.
Plus, she received some fresh news that in F, there’s this smart tech company with remarkable Al capabilities. If they could strike a deal, their projects could really take off.
Sylvia wasn’t traveling alone this time, she had Juliet Ingrid accompanying her. Originally, it was just Juliet tagging along, but upon learning about the trip to F, Ingrid insisted on joining, stating she could help Sylvia settle into the F branch’s environment quickly.
It was obvious to anyone with half an eye that Ingrid was deliberately coming along. Sylvia also wanted to see what Ingrid was up to, so she agreed.
And so, they set off together.
After a dozen hours of flying, they touched down in F.
“Let’s take it easy today, tidy up these materials tomorrow, and the day after, we’ll check out the
subsidiary and then pay visits to those two companies,” was their initial plan.
Originally, Sylvia planned to spend about half a month in F, but with Ingrid’s arrival, she could extend her stay a bit.
Of course, if their trip to F proved fruitful, they could extend it further.
So with ample time on their hands, there was no need to rush into anything else. They had to get themselves settled first before tackling other matters.
The F branch had already sent someone to pick them up and had arranged hotel accommodations. They were driven straight to the hotel. Sylvia hadn’t anticipated bumping into Cyril there.
It had been a few days since they last met, so seeing Cyril again didn’t faze Sylvia. She thought he might come over to chat, but unexpectedly, Cyril just glanced at her, checked in, and headed upstairs with his
entourage.
Juliet was surprised by Cyril’s aloof reaction. She leaned over to Sylvia and whispered, “What’s up? Did you two have a fight? He’s unusually cold; it’s not like him.”
Sylvia couldn’t help but chuckle at Juliet’s remark. Wasn’t a little aloofness better?
Their relationship was what it was. Did Cyril have to keep being overly friendly? Sylvia couldn’t accept that. “I don’t think there’s anything else to it. I just made an offhand comment. You know how Cyril was constantly pursuing you before. Now, suddenly, he’s cold as ice. It’s a bit strange to me. Maybe he’s got something up his sleeve? Do you think our discussions on cooperation have something to do with him? Is he intentionally trying to throw a wrench in your plans?” Juliet’s mind was already conjuring up various scenarios from just a brief encounter. Sylvia couldn’t help but marvel at Juliet’s active imagination.
They stared at each other for a moment before Sylvia broke the silence. “Are you here on business?”
