"You're right." Galen's voice was as grumpy as always. "She won't be going with us." Sylvie's
ie's throat moved as she forcefully swallowed the chips. She should feel relieved. She had been scared and skeptical about facing Kage again. Yet somehow, her grandfather's response sent a sharp pain to her chest. They were going to leave her behind. You've never been important. You've always been-
"Are you ready to start working in the company, Sylvie?" Galen's voice pulled her out of the darkness her mind had already been journeying to. "Ruby has been insisting that you're good to go. Although, personally, I have my doubts. You don't look ready." He eyed her with hesitation.
His lack of faith in her hurt her. She had actually been following Ruby's instructions and practicing, but a part of her was beginning to think Galen might be right. Maybe she wasn't ready. "I am." Her eyes dropped to the table as she replied.
"Hm. Have you been practicing?"
"Yes, sir."

"You have to be smart, girl!" Galen shouted at her, his voice making her shudder. "The business world is filled with hungry lions who will devour people like you that appear weak. The Cheng Empire needs a strong heart Now, if you think you're not capable, this is your time to pull out and probably go back to Australia."
For a fleeting second, Sylvie was tempted to consider his words, irrespective of how harsh it came out. But she thought of Ruby and how much effort and faith she had put in her. She'd be disappointed if she heard Sylvie pulled away.
"I'm sorry." Her hands fisted under the table again. "I believe my sketches are good."
Astrid snorted. But fortunately, nothing eie was said about her. Sylvie continued praying and hoping the dinner would come an end soon.
But how wrong was she to think they were done talking about her. When they ran out of fruit juice, to her surprise, Scarlett
