Chapter 874


    Sylvia called Cliff to make sure that Odell was still busy working and asked Jacob to drive her to Carter Tower.


    Thete night was quiet, and most of the employees in the building had already left work.


    The security guard knew Jacob and learned her identity from him so he immediately opened the door and let them in.


    Sylvia entered the elevator while holding her breath.


    She thought, I''ll just take a look. If he’s really busy, then I''ll just say hi and leave. If he’s almost done, then I''ll wait for him quietly


    and leave with him when he’s finished.’


    The elevator soon rose to the top floor.


    Just as Sylvia was about to rush out, a familiar and beautiful figure came out from Odell''s office. It was none other than Lily


    Springsteen.


    Sylvia froze.


    Lily obviously did not expect to meet Sylvia here and was startled. However, she soon showed an elegant smile and walked up


    to Sylvia in her high heels.


    “Ms. Ross, you are here ratherte to see Master Carter, aren’t you?”


    Sylvia hummed and nced at her.


    Lily wore a zer, a pencil skirt, and ck high heels. Her hair


    was pulled into a low ponytail, and her makeup was not very heavy whereas her body exuded an elegant andpetent aura.


    She was also holding a folder in her hands, so she was most likely here to talk to Odell about work.


    However, why did shee at this time to talk about work instead of earlier?


    Sylvia did not think about it. She nced at Lily and breezed past her.


    “Master Carter has a lot of things to do, so | think it’s better if you don’t disturb him,” Lily suddenly said.


    Sylvia stopped and said coldly, “He’s my husband, and you''re only his business partner. | don’t think it’s your ce to determine


    if I''m disturbing him.”


    In the past, she thought that Lily and Odell were really engaged, so she held back because she was afraid of ruining their


    rtionship . She held back the humiliation of having to clean her shoes at Ramona’s birthday party and the humiliation of Mrs.


    Springsteen having her mocked by the entire art circle in Westchester. She did not even dare to tell Odell that the baby was his.


    However, although Lily no longer had any rtionship with Odell now, she still dared to act high and mighty, saying such stuff to


    Sylvia. It was as if Lily was very close to Odell while Sylvia was the outsider.


    Sylvia naturally would not tolerate it anymore.


    Lily''s expression instantly turned cold, but she quickly recovered her elegant and haughty posture. “Master Carter is indeed your


    Chapter 874


    man, but he’s also the head of a corporation, and | have a partnership with him. If you disturb him and affect his work, it’s also


    likely to affect my cooperation with him.”


    Sylvia frowned.


    Lily nced at her up and down, her eyes falling on Sylvia’s feet that were still wearing house slippers, and she sneered, “If you


    can’t help Master Carter at work, it''s better to be a good housewife at home and not cause him any trouble.”


    Then, without waiting for Sylvia to say anything, she walked straight into the elevator.


    Sylvia stood where she was. Her heart felt like it was being squeezed for a long time before she finally moved her feet.


    She wanted to turn around and leave, but unexpectedly, Cliff suddenly walked out of Odell’s office. His eyes lit up when he saw


    her. “Madam, are you here to see Master Carter? He’s right inside.”


    Sylvia pursed her lips and asked, “Isn’t he swamped now?”


    Cliff replied, “The important stuff is almost settled. He’s wrapping up now and should finish working soon.”


    “Oh.”


    “You should go in quickly. | have something to do, so I''ll leave first.”


    “Sure.”


    Cliff then left


    Sylvia pushed open the door of the office and went in. The space inside was spacious and brightly lit. The furnishings were still


    simr to how she remembered.


    Behind the desk, the man’s suit-d figure sat in a chair. He held documents in his hand and flipped through them. Upon hearing


    the sound of the door opening, his deep eyes looked over.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Sylvia immediately smiled at him. “Odell I-I’m here to see you.”


    The man’s shallow lips curled up. His expression earlier was so cold that no one dared to approach him, but now it instantly


    became warm and gentle.


    “Come here,” he said.


    Sylvia walked to his side, but afraid of disturbing his work, she said, “You continue working. I''ll just wait for you here.”
