Sylvia held her frustration back and said, “No. I still have paintings to finish.”


    Odell went quiet.


    “If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.” “Mm-hmm.”

    His voice sounded a lot softer, but it did not stop Sylvia from hanging up. Right when Odell wanted to put


    his phone away, his screen lit up.


    It was a call from Tara.


    His brows furrowed a little before he answered the call.


    Tara’s soft voice echoed in his ears. “Odell, are you here yet? I’m ready.”


    Odell immediately remembered that he had promised to go out with her tonight,


    “I’m on my way.” “Okay.”


    Late at night, when the shops and malls were closed, the streets were lit up only by the streetmps.


    A ck sports car sprinted out of the wealthy district and headed towards Lake Victoria Vi.


    Tara looked at him with a heavy heart. “Odell, aren’t you going to stay tonight?”


    “No. I have something to do back in the office.”


    “Okay.” Her face fell.


    Odell raised his arms around her for a hug. He whispered softly, “Go have some rest.”


    “You too.” Then, Tara tiptoed and gave him a kiss on his lips.


    To her surprise, Odell froze for a millisecond. A strong sense of rejection gushed into his mind, forcing


    him to tighten his lips.


    Fortunately, he was able to suppress the unusual feeling and turned around to his car.


    The ck sports car drove off quickly.


    Tara was left alone at the entrance as she watched the sports car disappear beyond her sight, The


    expression on her face changed.


    He was still the same man that she knew. He spent a lot of money on her and apanied her


    shopping. They even ran into several acquaintances earlier, and when they saw how loving and caring


    he was to her, their eyes almost popped out in shock and jealousy.


    She could not allow Sylvia to snatch such a great man from her.


    Back at home, Sylvia had juste out from the bathroom after cleaning herself up.


    Just when she was about to go to bed, her phone rang.


    It was a message from one of the chat groups of the Westchester Art Association. She thought it was


    some kind of event notification, so she tapped on it. However, she found out that there were several


    members ttering and praising Tara. “This is my first time seeing Master Carter himself. I did not expect


    him to be so handsome in real life. He’s even better looking than the celebrities. Tara, you’re such a lucky


    girl.” “Master Carter is really generous as well. He even paid for our bills.” “It’s all because of Tara. We


    have to thank her.” A bunch of messages was expressing their gratitude for Tara. Tara then answered the


    compliments and replied, “We are friends. You guys don’t need to be so courteous.” “Tara, you’re such a


    kind person. No wonder Master Carter loves you so much.” “I have to say Tara is born lucky, and we can


    only be jealous of her.” After being bombarded by a ton of aggrandizing praises, Tara replied, “Haha, you


    guys will meet your Mr. Right as well.” “I’ve given up already. My ex cheated on me even though he’s not


    rich.” “My ex ran away with another girl.” Tara replied, “You guys, don’t be like this. It’s just that you


    haven’t met the perfect man. If you do, no matter how many temptations or seduction out there, your


    man won’t give up on


    you.”


    Her statement attracted a question. “Tara, given how perfect Master Carter is, I’m sure there’re a lot of


    women after him.”


    “I’m sure there is. He is a reputable person after all. There was an evil woman who tried to separate us


    before with all kinds of ill schemes.” “What happened then? Did she do it?”


    “Of course not. If that woman seeded, Tara wouldn’t be with Master Carter now.”


    Tara exined, “Yeah. No matter how hard that woman tried, Odell did not fall for her. I even pity her at


    times.”
