Chapter 35
Odell tightened his lips in silence.
Sylvia simply stared at him in confusion.
He looked rather cold, but he was not exactly unhappy about it.
Was it because of jealousy?
Confused, Sylvia asked, “I don’t have any lipstick on, so why can’t I kiss them?”
Odell stared at her. “Leave.”
Sylvia was silenced and deeply annoyed.
‘Crazy bastard!
Frustrated, she pouted and left. Due to her suppressed annoyance, she hastened her pace, which
caused her slender figure to wiggle more than usual. Even her dress fluttered as she strode away.

Odell had a few glances before he looked away with a bitter look.
‘This woman… how dare she seduce me?!’
The next morning, when Sylvia arrived at the studio, Betty and the other colleagues shot her ridiculing
gazes.
Curious, she stared back, but her colleagues quickly switched their gazes to her desk.
Sylvia followed their gaze to her desk and saw a bouquet of sunflowers. Beside the sunflowers was a
card with a message written in bold handwriting.
“Good morning. Hope you have a good day ahead-Tris.”
It was obviously from Tristan!
Sylvia did not know how to react to the gift.
Envious, Betty said, “Sylvia, Mr. Ledger sent the flowers over by himself.”
Sylvia sighed and put the sunflowers into a vase.
Betty and the others surrounded her, watching her put away the flowers like they were watching some
romantic comedy on television.
“We are really just normal friends,” Sylvia helplessly said.
The girls grinned with obvious disbelief on their faces, as if they were saying they did not believe her.
It was then that Tristan came back from outside, and the girls scattered back to their workstations.
Tristan smiled as he came over to Sylvia. “Morning.”
She returned a polite smile. “Morning. Thank you for the sunflowers.”
“You’re welcome.” He took a step closer to her and said, “Let’s have lunch today.”
Sylvia nervously took a step back to draw distance and said, “I’m busy in the afternoon.”
Nevertheless, Tristan expected the rejection. He smiled as he added, “Sylvia, come on. We’ve known
each other for twenty over years. Saying no will only make me sad.”
Sylvia barely reacted to his pleas. “I’m really busy.”
He chuckled. “Then, I’ll order takeaway, and we can have lunch here.”
She tightened her lips and then said, “Why don’t we go out instead? I’ll buy you lunch.”
Consider it paying him back for the sunflowers.

Sylvia returned to her seat and continued working.
At lunchtime, Tristan appeared before. Sylvia just on time. Since she had already promised him, she was
going to keep it. She put her work aside and went out for lunch with him.
She asked, “What do you want to eat?”
“I’m okay with anything. You choose.”
Without hesitation, Sylvia brought him to a local restaurant at the commercial square near their office.
The restaurant promised affordable prices and also decent food.
It was not that she did not want to bring him to an expensive place, but given her salary from the studio,
her expenditure was limited, so this affordable one would do.
There was no surprise or disgust on Tristan’s face. All he did was smile as he followed her inside.
Sylvia asked for a room for the two of them.
The waiter then came in with the menu and gave them a warm welcome. Sylvia pushed the menu to
Tristan and generously said, “Order what you like.”
