Chapter 167 The washroom was large and spacious. It was very luxurious.
After relieving herself, Sylvia washed her hands, wiped her face, and came out.
Someone had clearly come to clean up. Odell‘s work desk was restored to its previously clean and tidy
state. The half pot of stew she had left and the food he did not finish were also gone.
Even the air had become much fresher.
Odell was reading a book.
Sylvia went to his desk again. She looked at the table and asked suspiciously, “Where‘s the little turtle I
carved?” Odell gave her a cold look. “I threw it away.” ‘Whatever. I just carved it for fun, anyway.‘ Sylvia
reached into her bag and quickly found another small square piece of wood. Then, she took out the
carving knife again and carved it. Scratch, scratch.
The orderly sound of carving immediately resounded in the air again.

Sylvia quickly noticed his gaze.
However, she pretended not to see his annoyance and asked with a smile, “Do you want to learn? I don‘t
have anything to do now, so I don‘t mind teaching you.” He pursed his lips and was silent for a few
seconds before saying, “Liam and Isabel have to eat dinner by 8 p.m. and must go to bed in their room
by 9 p.m. I‘ll only give you an hour to go over and see them.”
Sylvia‘s eyes lit up, and she replied with a smile, “Okay, no problem.” Then, she put the carving knife and
wood back into her bag, turned her wheelchair, and went out.
The sound of the wheelchair turning soon disappeared as the door closed. Tranquility completely
returned to the large office. However, Odell frowned. He looked more and more annoyed.
Bam!
He threw the book back on the table and picked up the little turtle with his name engraved on it from the
drawer.
His long and slender fingers repeatedly squeezed and rubbed the grooves, but he was unable to erase
his name.
At that moment, the phone he left on the table rang.
The caller ID read Tara.
His eyes darkened as he picked up the phone. Tara‘s gentle voice sounded. “Odell, are you free tonight?
I want to have dinner with you.” Odell looked at the time and said, “Come to my office at 5 p.m.” She
quickly replied, “Okay.”
After leaving Carter Tower, Sylvia took a car and went to a nearby store. She bought a few new outfits for
both herself and Aunt Tonya.

still unable to walk, she had to meet them while looking refreshed.
It was already the evening when she returned to her place after shopping.
She saw a message from Carl, the boss of the studio she used to work for. He apologized for firing her
and asked her to go back to work. He also offered to double her salary.

Sylvia refused him outright. Besides Carl, other woodworking studios she had asked about before also
sent her messages, saying that they wanted to hire her very much. She rejected them all. After so many
unpleasant things happened, she was no longer planning to go back to work Besides receiving
messages from them, she also received messages from Simon and the head of the Arts Association.
They both very sincerely wanted to invite her to join Westchester City‘s Art Association. Sylvia thought
about it and agreed.
