After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress (Sylvia and Cyril) novel Chapter 239

Duncan's request wasn't unreasonable, but Sylvia couldn't give him an answer. He knew he couldn't provide such an opportunity, and even if he did, his answer would be the same.

Seeing Sylvia's silent expression, Duncan understood what she meant.

"So far, you're still not willing to give me a chance. Our relationship from childhood to now can't compare to someone who just appeared. Forget it, maybe it's destined that we're not meant to be. I'll just be a good friend to you, so we won't feel awkward when we meet in the future."

Seeing Sylvia's intentions, Duncan didn't insist anymore. He smiled, hiding his bitterness. He really liked Sylvia and enjoyed being with her, but since Sylvia wasn't willing to give him a chance, it meant they had no future together.

"Sorry, all this time, I've only seen you as a friend. I never thought you had feelings for me. But I think we should take some time to calm down. Your feelings for me are probably just because we grew up together all these years."

Sylvia said this to Duncan after a moment of silence.

Although Sylvia knew Duncan liked her, she still found a reason for him, giving him more reasons to revert to their original relationship. But both of them knew deep down that they couldn't go back to where they started. It wasn't so simple to go back.

"You're right. Maybe it's just like you said. Forget it, these things aren't that important. I'll leave now. You haven't eaten much today. When you get back, have your assistant prepare something for you to eat. I might be away on a business trip for some time and won't be able to see you. Oh, by the way, I heard your second brother is coming back to develop. If he's going to have a concert, ask him to save me a ticket. You know I'm his super fan."

Duncan's words sounded very casual, but in reality, Sylvia could sense that he wasn't as relaxed as he appeared. After all, it wasn't easy to tell someone you've liked for many years that it's over.

Having gone through this herself, Sylvia didn't want Duncan to feel sad, so she solemnly agreed to him. Actually, Duncan wasn't such a big fan of her brother. The reason he liked her brother was because of Sylvia.

Thinking of this, Sylvia felt a little sad. She didn't want to lose such a friend, but it seemed that the more she didn't want to lose him, the more likely it was to happen.

After Duncan left, Sylvia stayed at home in a daze. Oh well, she was going to tell Miles, but at that moment, her phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Bruce.

Sylvia answered the phone, and there was a bit of noise on Bruce's end, probably because there were still people around him.

"Where are you now? There's been a small problem with our international cooperation, and I need you to go on a business trip this afternoon to handle these contracts. Also, the third brother is there too. After you and the third brother resolve this matter, come back. The company needs the third brother to come over."

"Boss, besides discussing cooperation this time, you can also take the opportunity to take a good rest. I heard there's a small problem at the company. The president wants you to solve it there."

Sylvia understood what was left unsaid. She was supposed to go on a business trip to negotiate cooperation, but it was just a pretext. Actually, it was to let her escape for a while. After she handled the company's matters, she could come back. Sylvia naturally didn't refuse her brother's kindness. In fact, she thought it was a good idea.

Being able to use the company's affairs to take a good vacation, Sylvia was willing. Even though she was eager to build her career, it didn't mean she didn't want to rest. So, she immediately told her assistant on the plane.

"After we finish handling the contracts, find a place for me to vacation. Did he say how long I need to stay abroad?"

"He didn't say, but according to my estimation, you'll probably need to stay outside for about half a month."

Half a month sounded pretty good. Sylvia became even more eager. After all, being able to travel on the company's dime, who wouldn't want that?

"I see. Send me the specific situation of the branch company. The sooner we finish the work, the sooner we can rest. After we finish, I'll give you a vacation too."
