Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2103

She left with enough money from him to live comfortably for the rest of her life, so why bother working so hard?

"Absolutely!"

Sylvia nodded, "After I got to J City, I decided to stay. I didn't want to just idle away my days. I felt like I should do something meaningful, so I started a PR firm. To be honest, my initial idea was to use the wide range of information a PR firm has to possibly help you out. I didn't expect it to actually do well."

Gabriel nodded in acknowledgment.

The waiter came by with their meals, and the two paused their conversation to enjoy the food in silence.

Midway through the meal, Sylvia looked up and asked, "You came to J City because of Estelle's situation, right?"

"Yes!" Gabriel confirmed with a nod, "I'm temporarily staying at Old Mr. Quintin's place."

Understanding, Sylvia smiled and said, "I saw online that the tide has turned in favor of Estelle. The Crawley and Macclain families are finished. There shouldn't be any more twists."

"There shouldn't be any issues left!" Gabriel said calmly, "In a couple of days, my grandfather and I will head back to C City."

Sylvia pursed her lips slightly, "And when will you return to Tripe?"

"After the New Year, I suppose."

"That's nice, you'll get to spend the holidays with your family."

"Mhm."

After they finished eating, Sylvia produced two tickets to the opera, grinning, "Ms. Sampson got these for us, but I thought you might not have the patience for an opera."

She paused, giving him a serious look, and asked, "Would you like to come over to my place instead?"

Gabriel, curious about her current life, nodded, "Sure!"

"Let's go then!"

Sylvia turned back to Gabriel with a soft smile, "I guess I am still afraid of the cold, so the heating is cranked up high. Take off your coat, and I'll pour you some water."

She bent down to find a pair of men's slippers for him in the shoe cabinet, chuckling, "They're new!"

"For your boyfriend?" Gabriel asked.

"I don't have a boyfriend right now," Sylvia shrugged, heading to the kitchen with a smile.

As Gabriel entered, he glanced at the shoe cabinet out of habit before he changed into the slippers and walked into the living room.

Although it was a single's apartment, it was spacious and impeccably tidy, without any superfluous items except for a pink unicorn plush on the sofa. It was almost hard to tell a woman lived there.

The kitchen was open-concept, and from his seat on the sofa, he could see Sylvia's back as she made coffee.

Her thin trench coat outlined a slender waist, her back straight, her neck graceful.
