Chapter 944
Sylvia answered with a soft grunt, sounding slightly embarrassed.
She never had a habit of sleeping in and was never expecting herself to wake up so late.
Odell got up and approached her. Then he ruffled her tousled hair. “Take a shower. We’re going to eat
later.”
She asked, “Have you eaten yet?”
He answered with composure, “I had breakfast. I haven’t had lunch yet.”
“Okay.”
At least he had breakfast.
She quickly went to the bathroom to shower and changed into a set of clean clothes before joining
Odell.
They went to the restaurant connected to the hotel.
They entered and chose a seat next to the window.
They had a view of the mountains from the window seat. It was a wonderful scenery to dine over.
Sylvia thought about her appointment with Zach later that afternoon and asked nonchalantly, “Do you
have any plans this afternoon?”
“Well, I’m attending this event.” Odell shot her a look. “Would you like to go with me?”
Sylvia turned down the offer. “No, it’s business related, isn’t it? | won’t trouble you. I’ll just go
sightseeing again like yesterday.”
“Okay.” Odell pursed his lips. He was fine with her not joining him.
John was no fool and must have figured out the true purpose for him coming to Glanchester in person.
Since Madam Stockton wanted to hold a party at their house, John must have taken measures to make
sure nobody to find out that he kept Sherry locked up in his place. Odell figured that even if he brought
Sylvia with him, chances were that she was not going to get to see Sherry.
He decided that he would wait until he had a better grasp of
John’s temperament before asking him to let Sylvia meet Sherry.
He put a slice of filet on Sylvia’s plate and reminded her, “Make sure to keep Jacob close with you
when you go out.”
“Got it.” Sylvia nodded and ate the slice of filet Odell set on her plate.
After they ate, they went back to the presidential suite.
Odell went straight to the study.
Sylvia sat by the window and scrolled her phone absentmindedly.
Time trickled by and soon, it was nearing 1 p.m. Odell was still inside the study and it did not seem like
he was emerging anytime soon.
Sylvia received a message from Zach asking if she was on the way.
Sylvia told him to wait for a moment, then she walked toward the study.
The door was open, so she poked her head to look inside.
Odell was seated at the desk, his posture erect and noble. He was focused on his tasks, his eyes fixed
on the computer screen.
He wore a very serious expression on his face and was clearly immersed in his work.
Sylvia was pondering if she should call out to him when his eyes suddenly turned to her.
A soft look immediately came upon them as he asked, “What is
it?”
Sylvia sounded like a child asking for her father’s permission to leave. “I’m going out for a bit.”
Odell smiled. “Go ahead, don’t come home too late.”
“Alright.”
Sylvia nodded, then she turned around and left.
Odell glanced at his watch to see what time it was and it was two hours until the appointed time, so he
still had some time to
spare.
He diverted his attention back to the computer.
After leaving the hotel, Sylvia requested Jacob to take her to the suburbs they went to the previous
evening.
Jacob seemed rather reluctant. “Madam, you’re not going to see that man again, are you?”
Sylvia replied, “There’s something I need to settle with him. Please take me there quickly.”
“What business could you possibly have with him?” He recalled Zach’s dandy appearance and his lord-
like behavior. It seemed like he had a thing for Sylvia.
It was getting late already. Knowing that Zach was waiting for her, Sylvia began to get impatient. “Just
take me there, don’t worry about it.”
Jacob refused to start the car. “Master Carter will be very upset if he finds out that I’m driving you to
meet another man in private. If you don’t tell me why you are going to see him, I’m afraid I’ll have to
report this to Master Carter.” Sylvia was at a crossroads.
Please quickly take me there.” Sylvia urged.
Jacob was not a big fan of the idea, nonetheless, he stepped on the gas pedal.
Half an hour later, the car stopped by the entrance of the district.
Sylvia opened the door and stepped out of the car.
Jacob promptly followed after her.
Sylvia turned to him. “You don’t have to come. I’ll go myself.”
Jacob did not utter a word but continued following her anyway.
So be it.
No matter what, Zach could only bring one person inside so the
entrance was as far as Jacob could go..
Sylvia ignored him and kept walking.
Shortly after, she spotted Zach and his red sports car by the entrance.
Zach was leaning against his car and scrolling his phone waiting for her. Upon noticing her, he quickly
waved her over.
Sylvia smiled and waved to him as well.
She apologized upon approaching him. “I’m sorry for keeping you waiting for so long.”
“No, I didn’t wait long at all. Come on, I’ll take you inside.”
“Alright.”
There were only two seats inside the sports car. Sylvia turned to
