After visiting Jimmy's room, Miles finally finished his tasks and came downstairs. When he saw Sylvia and Jimmy sitting on the floor playing games, he was quite surprised.
"I thought you wouldn't bother coming when Jimmy messaged and called you," Miles said casually, handing an apple to Sylvia, who shook her head in refusal as she was busy with the game.
Sylvia's eyes were fixed on the large screen in front of her. She replied, "I wasn't planning to come, but Jimmy was just too enthusiastic. Besides, being pestered by someone can be quite endearing. So I thought it wouldn't hurt to come. If I didn't come, I wouldn't have seen how beautifully you've decorated your place. When are you planning to have a party?"
"No need for a party. We haven't done much decoration at home, so there's no need to fuss over it. But what happened today? It couldn't be just because of Jimmy's casual remarks that you decided to come, right? You're not someone who easily accepts invitations from others."
Miles couldn't believe that Sylvia came just because of Jimmy's invitation. There must have been something else, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
Before Sylvia could answer, Miles guessed, "Is it Cyril? Besides him, I can't think of anyone else who would make you suddenly want to come over to play. You're not someone who would accept random invitations."
Hearing Miles's words, Sylvia's game control went awry, and Jimmy easily defeated her character. Jimmy was ecstatic, while Sylvia looked at Miles with a hint of reproach. Seeing this, Miles quickly raised his hands in surrender.
"Sorry, I didn't realize that. Let me help you get back. I didn't expect such a big reaction from you. If you don't want to talk about it, there's no need. I just mentioned it casually."
"Of course, you just mentioned it casually, but what you said is true. The reason I came back here, besides Jimmy, is indeed because Cyril has been bothering me to no end. Today, I accompanied Juliet to an auction, and Cyril happened to expose my identity there. His attitude and actions were disgusting."
Now that Miles understood the situation, he wasn't too surprised. Cyril's attitude would definitely change after Sylvia's identity was exposed. But this exposure would also bring trouble for Sylvia, as Cyril wouldn't let it go easily. Sylvia might face even more trouble in the future.
"Have you thought about cutting ties with Cyril?" Miles carefully chose his words, probing.
"What a joke! Of course, I want to cut ties with Cyril, but he's like a piece of chewing gum that you can't get rid of. He's really getting on my nerves."
