Cyril was prepared to be rejected when he wanted to meet Sylvia. However, he didn't expect Sylvia to agree to the meeting.
On the day of the meeting, he woke up early and kept changing his clothes, dissatisfied each time. Jonathan's bad mood lately kept him at home, unwilling to leave.
Both of them were in a foul mood.
"Why fuss so early in the morning? It's just a meeting with her. Do you really need to bother so much? I've never seen you care so much about her before."
Jonathan rolled his eyes. He genuinely felt it was unnecessary. It wasn't their first meeting, and this one wasn't going to end well anyway. Was it worth getting worked up over?
Cyril ignored Jonathan. These days, it was hard to hear anything positive from Jonathan, and Cyril didn't want to talk to him about this.
"You're unhappy yourself, yet you don't want others to be happy. Are you sick? If it weren't for the divorce, why would you keep hanging around my place?"
"It's not like I want to. I gave her the house, so I have nowhere else to go. Otherwise, why would I come here? You keep thinking about Sylvia every day, but she doesn't even give you the time of day."
Cyril and Jonathan had been tormenting each other these days. They knew what bothered the other, so neither held back.
Cyril sneered, "You weren't so chummy before. Now that you've given her the house, do you want me to praise you?"
"Mind your own business. I'm fine with it. At least I can still meet her, unlike you two."
"Talking as if meeting her would make her care about you. Do you think you're better than me?"
Jonathan fell silent.
Both of them were equally miserable now. There wasn't much to say. Neither was better off than the other.
Jonathan went silent and returned to his room, slamming the door loudly as if searching for something.
Cyril got ready and left.
This time, he bought a bouquet of flowers and took them to the office.
To his surprise, as soon as he arrived downstairs, he saw Sylvia coming out of the elevator with Miles by her side.
Lately, Miles seemed to be appearing more frequently. He always wanted to meet Sylvia, and Cyril couldn't understand why.
Did they have something important to discuss? Couldn't they talk without meeting?
While Sylvia talked to Miles, she suddenly felt someone staring at her. She looked over and saw Cyril.
Her expression softened, and Miles noticed.
