Although you know there's something to discuss, you wouldn't expect your big brother to suddenly bring it up as soon as you sit down.
"Do you know Cyril has had a childhood sweetheart living abroad all these years, and their relationship is really close?"
Just when they were enjoying their meal, hearing this voice caught Sylvia off guard. She didn't know whether to say her brother cared too much about her or if he was just off the mark.
"Big brother, why bring this up out of the blue? Don't you think it's a bit ominous?"
Balk couldn't stand hearing about this, and neither could De Witt.
Bruce knew perfectly well that bringing up this topic would upset everyone, but he had to. He'd received news that Cyril's childhood sweetheart had returned.
"He's always had feelings for Cyril since childhood, even more troublesome than Karina. I just wanted to warn you about this person. You might know him; Mia, your junior from school."
The name sounded somewhat unfamiliar to Sylvia; she couldn't recall. So, she brushed it off, deciding to deal with it when she meets the person. For now, her priority was finishing her tasks and avoiding Cyril until things settled down. She couldn't afford to waste more time.
Bruce felt relieved seeing Sylvia's lack of interest in the matter.
"You know what's up next. By the way, how's the development of the medical AI going? Hasn't little brother been spending all his time in the lab lately?"
Bruce was curious about De Witt's recent activities.
They delved into this topic, going further and further, discussing both business and future medical advancements.
