‘Honeymoon my ass!‘

Without Sylvia's permission, he would never force her to do anything.

Moreover, the lively one was her!

His waist still ached from that kick he received. He refused to be the only miserable one.

Eder gave him a cold look. “Count the words in that sentence you just said. One word is one month's

salary deducted. Do the math yourself.”

“Huh?!”

The heavens must have rained down with misfortune. Eric's expression was so bitter that it couldn't get

any worse.

That sentence was so long! Wouldn't he be working for nothing for a year?

“This is so unreasonable! The boss is too ruthless!”

Submerged in his grief, Eric stood still in his place.

Eder’s lips stretched into a small but wicked smile as he turned away. Although his lower back was aching and

his neck felt really stiff, he still walked with springs in his steps. He seemed to be in a good

mood.

Eric immediately chased after him, wailing, “Boss! | admit my mistake! Please givea chance to make up for

it!”

It had been a long tsince Sylvia had slept so peacefully.

She didn’t wake up until 9:30 when her phone began ringing.

“My dear, your dad already learned his lesson from last night. | promise you that this will. again. Will you come

back tonight? The day after tomorrow is the banquet for your...”

happen

The call was cut off by the coughing sound from her father’s end. It was slightly alarming to hear that.

Sylvia fell on the bed and thought about it before replying, “Okay.”

“Good. Then, after work today, remember to cback early so you can try on your dress, okay?”

“Mhm,” Sylvia hummed.

After hanging up, she rolled over and tucked burrowed further into the sheets. But just as she was about to fall

back to sleep, something crossed her mind.

She didn’t go back to the mansion last night. The last thing she remembered was that she was at the Honey Bar.

But why was she sleeping on a bed?

She sat up abruptly and turned her head just enough to notice that shattered pieces of porcelain were scattered

on the floor near the bedside table.

When Eder left, the two bodyguards at the door returned to their station. They were able to immediately respond

when they heard Sylvia's voice from inside.

Last night passed in a blur for Sylvia so she genuinely had no idea what happened. “Who broughthere last

night?”

“It was Mr. Storm. He took care of you all night.”

Sylvia frowned.

She immediately checked her body, but apart from her coat that was taken off, she was overall in good

condition.

She was relieved that Eder did not do anything to her, otherwise she might run to his house with a knife and

murder him.

However, if nothing happened last night, then what was up with that broken porcelain?

She didn’t remember if she fought with Eder somehow. She only remembered that she had a dream about Edgar

last night. It was a sweet dream, even. She was able to kiss and hug him.

Fifteen and Aro also had the squestion themselves. Unfortunately, only Eder knew what happened.

Sylvia: “Fifteen, go find Eder and tell him that | want to talk to him.”

“Yes, Miss.” Fifteen immediately left.

“Aro, find the hotel manager and compensate for the broken vase.”

“Okay.”

Aro turned around and went to open the door. The hotel manager and the waiter who was pushing a trolley

happened to arrive just in time.

When the manager heard about the compensation, she simply flashed Sylvia a flattering smile. “Thank you, Ms.

Smith, however, Mr. Storm already paid for it.”

She may have lost an expensive decoration, but she was paid back ten times the amount. Although Mr. Storm

said the money was for his suggestion to forgo bedside table decorations altogether.

Thinking about that, the manager smiled even brighter and took a step to the side to present the custom-made

food on the trolley.

“In addition, Mr. Storm also specially ordered breakfast for you. It’s all made by our five-star chef. Would you like

to try it, Ms. Smith?”

The waiter began to set the small table in the room, and soon, it was full of dish platters.

Sylvia looked at the breakfast table and pursed her lips.

Eder was actually this thoughtful?

But why did it feel like there was something more to this? He didn’t actually touch her last night, did he?

Sylvia reached into the quilt and quietly checked herself again, making sure that there was no bruise nor pain

anywhere on her body.

Unable to find anything at all, she could only ask the hotel manager tentatively, “I just returned to this city, and |

don’t know much about this Mr. Storm. Do you know what he looks like?”

The manager shook her head. “Well, people like us aren’t worthy to see his actual face. He wears a mask

everywhere he goes too. I've seen his back though, and in my opinion, he shouldn't be bad-looking.”

Sylvia did not say anything.

It seemed that the only was to meet Eder face to face.

She did not take a single bite of the breakfast prepared for her. After washing up, she left the hotel and

went straight to work. She was going to oversee the construction of the Angle Building.

After a busy morning, Fifteen hurried back. “Miss, | went to Grant family’s mansion. Mr. Stor

there.”

“What about in their company?”

“I went there too, but he wasn’t there as well.”

Fine.

She was willing to wait tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that. One day, he would be

there.

However, even as she ordered Fifteen to search for two days in a row, and even sent people to

deliberately stand guard at the entrance of the Grant family’s mansion and company building, Eder was

still nowhere to be seen.

Sylvia was baffled. Was he avoiding her on purpose?

What the hell was he hiding for?

Two days passed calmly, and soon, it was the night when the engagement was going to be announced.

The banquet was held at her father’s villa. Since it was a high-profile event, many business figures and

influential families attended.

There were still two hours before the whole event would start.

Sylvia was fixing her makeup in her room. Beside her was a golden fringe dress that Miss Z had custom-made for

her. It was an expensive dress, and this reflected on the overall quality. Whenever she walked, the hem would

flutter around her, making her look like a fairy in a painting.

Tolve knocked on the door twice before entering. He stopped by her side and said lowly,

“Mr. Storm isn’t here yet. They said that he went on a mission. It’s likely he won't make it tonight. If the

engagement is announced without him there, I'm afraid it will beca joke for the audience. What

should we do?”

Sylvia remained expressionless.

She didn’t really care. This engagement was a sham for her from the start. Sooner or later, she was going

to break it off anyway.

“It’s alright. Even if he doesn’t come, no one will say anything as long as my father is here.”

only...

This Eder was being too obvious with his avoidance.

She pondered carefully. Just as she put down the powder puff in her hand, another servant knocked on the door.

“Miss, Mr. Grant is here. He requested to see you alone, so he will be waiting for you in the side

hall”

“Got it.”

Mr. Grant was an elder, so it wasn’t wise to keep him waiting After Sylvia changed into her dress, the

Immediately went to the side hall

“Hello, Grandfather. I'm glad you arrived safely, it was bad who ordered sfine quality tea for this occasion. |

hope you like it so far.”

She greeted him softly and politely.

Mr. Grant was surprised to see her when he turned and put down the teacup

“Child, come, sit closer and letget to know you better.”

Sylvia smiled as she obediently sat beside him.

Although it was the first tthey had met, Mr. Grant liked her immediately. Not only was she beautiful and

elegant, she was also good at talking. She seemed like she had a clear mind.

Mr. Grant was very satisfied. “What a good child. No wonder Ed likes you. He has never askedfor anything,

but for the first time, he beggedto have the two of you engaged.”

Sylvia couldn't pay attention to what he said next.

The only thing in her mind was the fact that it was Eder who begged Mr. Grant to have this engagement.

Therefore, that bastard actually lied to her! He actually planned this all along!

But why on earth was he hiding now?
