Chapter 878
Cliff’s expression changed and he said, “Master Carter did eat something but it wasn’t much.”
“Really?”
“Of course it’s true. Why would I lie to you? Please go on up. I’m sure Master Carter will be happy to see you.”
Sylvia hesitated. “Will I be disturbing him at his work?”
“You won’t,” Cliff said confidently.
After receiving Cliff’s reassurance, she finally felt that it would be fine for her to go up.
Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Cliff before she walked into the elevator.
As soon as the elevator door closed, Cliff called Odell.
The call got through in mere seconds. “Sir, Madam is here with dinner.”
“Where is she now?” the man asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“She’s in the elevator and she’ll be there soon.” Cliff quickly added, “Oh, she also mentioned that she ran into Ms.
Springsteen earlier and heard you’d already eaten. She wanted to leave because she was afraid that she might
disturb you, I told her that you wouldn’t.”
“Mhmm…” The man’s voice became gentler. “Go home for the night and get some rest.”
“Thank you, Sir. You and Madam stay safe,” Cliff said with a smile on his face.
The elevator reached the highest floor.
Sylvia carried the food to the office and knocked on the door.
“Come in,” the man said.
Sylvia went inside and saw Odell behind his desk.
He put the document down and smiled at her.
Sylvia saw his bewitching, gentle smile and she blushed. She quickly placed the food on the desk.
“Sebastian asked me to bring you dinner,” she said.
Odell narrowed his eyes. “He told you to do so?”
“He was worried that you might miss dinner.”
“What about you?”
“What about me?”
“Were you worried about me missing dinner?” He stared at her intensely.
Sylvia blushed even more and instinctively evaded his prying gaze. Then, she said, “You’re not a baby. Why would I
need to be worried about you?”
He looked slightly disheartened. “Is that so?”
Even his voice sounded slightly disappointed.
Sylvia did not want to engage in such a cheesy conversation. Instead, she bent over and unpacked the food for
him.
“You should eat quickly. It’s getting cold. All these foods are your favorite.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOdell glanced at her. “Go grab a chair and sit beside me.”
Sylvia grabbed a chair but sat opposite him.
Slam!
He slammed the cutlery on the desk and glared at her.
Sylvia smiled. “It would be too inconvenient for you to eat if I was beside you.”
“If you’re not beside me, I won’t eat,” he said.
Sylvia was rendered speechless.
She choked up and begrudgingly moved her chair beside him.
As soon as she sat down, the man lifted her face.
He kissed her on the lips, savoring the feel of his lips on hers for a while before he released her.
His lips curled into a grin, and the delight showed all over his face.
Sylvia pouted, then she picked up her cutlery and started to eat dinner with him.
“Did you see Lily on your way up?” he asked suddenly. Sylvia hummed in reply.
“What did she say to you?” “She said you’d already eaten. Nothing else.” “It’s getting pretty busy at the company
lately. A number of projects are starting up and new progress has been made in the collaboration between the
Carter Corporation and the Springsteens. I have to meet her quite frequently to discuss work.”
