After lunch, Sylvia returned to her office and started working.

The incident with the Mellis family was just her guess. Without any substantial evidence, she couldn’t be

bothered to deal with it.

But if Nancy provoked her again, she might do something.

In the afternoon, Tom called.

He said coquettishly like a puppy, “Sylvia, are you free tonight?”

Sylvia typed, “Nope.”

Tom pursed his lips and began to talk to himself. “I have to attend a banquet at the Mellis’s tonight. I’ve

been working continuously for seven or eight days. You have to give me some time off, right?”

“No problem.”

Tom didn’t expect her to agree so quickly. So he asked tentatively, “Then can I have the honor of inviting

you to be my female companion tonight?”

Sylvia pursed her lips, and her starry eyes flickered, mulling over the proposal.

After a while, she answered, “Okay.”

After that, Sylvia hung up the phone.

On the other end of the line, Tom silently lamented. What a heartless woman!

Sylvia didn’t intend to go, but since Tom mentioned it, she decided to join the fun.

Half an hour later, Sang knocked on the door and came in. She put an exquisite gift box on the desk.

“Ms. Lancelot, someone just sent this over. It’s for you.”

“Got it. You may leave.”

After Beth left, Sylvia got up and opened the box.

It was an evening gown, which was entirely in line with her taste. Tom had even prepared the dress for

She laughed and shook her head. After looking at it for a while, she returned the dress and continued to

work.

When it was time to get off work, most of the employees began to pack up and get ready to get off work. Sylvia asked those who liked to work overtime to go back early. It was not until almost everyone in the company had left that she took the elevator downstairs.

At the entrance of the Angle Group Building, Tom had been waiting in his new silver–gray Maybach for a long time.
