Cyril knew this well, and so did Barry. He hesitated for a moment but nodded in agreement. There were things that needed to be done. So, after agreeing, he immediately arranged for them.
Fortunately, Sylvia was attending a party soon, and Cyril was going with her. This gave them a chance to meet. But before heading to the party, Barry earnestly reminded Cyril not to be too hasty. If Sylvia got upset, their plans would fail.
Cyril understood, especially after seeing what Bonnie went through. His perception of Sylvia had gradually changed. He realized how sincere her feelings were when she wanted to marry him against her family's wishes. Seeing what happened to Bonnie made Cyril realize how excessive he had been in the past.
"Do you think I've been too harsh on Sylvia?" Cyril suddenly asked before they left. Barry wasn't sure how to respond. He did think Cyril was being too harsh, but he couldn't say it outright. He was just a subordinate.
"I don't think it's fair to judge. Maybe there's a positive side to it. After all, Sylvia liked you once. She made a lot of effort to marry you back then, even though it didn't work out..."
Barry trailed off, feeling uneasy. He felt like he wasn't defending Cyril but instead advocating for Sylvia. He stopped himself, realizing he might anger Cyril. Cyril just chuckled. Even his doctor felt he was being excessive. What about Sylvia and her friends?
Finally, Cyril managed to meet Sylvia at the party. However, she was busy talking to others.
Cyril watched from the sidelines, not wanting to disturb her. After a while, he approached her, but Sylvia was still busy. She finished talking to one person and moved on to another. Cyril realized something was off.
"Boss, I don't think you'll get a chance to talk to Sylvia tonight. She doesn't seem interested. Maybe it's better to find another time to talk. Timing might be better."
Cyril glanced at Barry. Couldn't he see what was happening?
