After spending several days in the hospital, Silvia finally returned to work. Upon her return, she found herself swamped with work tasks left by the company. She wondered what her brothers had been thinking lately, as they had caused quite a stir for her.
She had thought staying in the hospital was to help them handle company matters, but to her surprise, nothing had been done during her absence. Her brothers really were something else.
Silvia busied herself for three days to tackle the workload, and finally managed to sort things out temporarily. However, finishing all those tasks left her exhausted.
"Boss, you'll need to leave work early today. According to your schedule, you're supposed to attend Jimmy's birthday party. However, I checked, and he's not one of our business partners. Is this a private event?"
Her assistant approached Silvia, reminding her about her commitment to Bruce. Silvia nodded in acknowledgment.
"Yes, I've almost sorted out everything at the company. If there's nothing urgent, please don't call me tonight."
The assistant understood the importance of this event and made a note of it. Most of the company matters had been settled, so Silvia didn't need to worry about work for now.
After finishing her work, Silvia set off. As she reached downstairs, she saw Miles's car parked by the roadside, waiting for her.
As Silvia walked towards Miles, she noticed another person nearby.
Among the crowd, Cyril stood to her left, while Miles stood to her right, effectively sandwiching her in between. Silvia couldn't help but feel a bit awkward at that moment.
She had never encountered such a situation before. Two men standing on either side, as if she had committed some grave offense, made her feel trapped. When her phone rang, she hesitated to check who was calling.
As Silvia glanced at both of them, she noticed they were both holding their phones. She couldn't figure out what they were up to.
Just as she felt torn between the two, someone tapped her shoulder. She turned around to see her eldest brother.
"You seemed in such a hurry earlier. I forgot to mention, you might bump into Cyril when you come out today. It seems he specifically came to see you."
Seeing his sister caught in such a situation, her brother found it somewhat amusing yet felt sorry for her at the same time. It seemed a bit too much for her.
"Why didn't you tell me this earlier, big brother? Don't you realize how awkward it is to be stuck in the middle like this?"
"So, who are you going to choose now? They're both here, and whichever you choose, you'll hurt the other. Do they both hold a place in your heart?"
His words left Silvia feeling torn. She actually wanted to express that neither of them had much impact on her, but being confronted by both at the same time made it an extremely difficult choice.
"Can't I choose neither?"
Hearing her sister's response, her brother chuckled. Choosing neither was probably the best option, so he didn't force her to make a decision.
