Chapter 880
Odell remained busy for the next few days.
He went out early in the morning and came home late at night.
Sylvia would be lying if she said that she did not miss him.
Therefore, she decided to visit the office once every two to three days. Sometimes, it would be during lunch, sometimes during dinner.
Today, while Flint, Isabel, and Liam were taking their nap, she went to Carter Tower to visit Odell.
The security guard and receptionist already knew her, so they welcomed her with a polite smile.
Sylvia went to his office but was informed by his secretary that he was having a meeting.
She got bored while waiting, so she decided to take a stroll around the building.
When she arrived on the first floor, she overheard several
employees talking about her.
“Why is our lady boss here once every two days?”
“Maybe it’s because of Ms. Springsteen. Since our company is working closely with the Springsteens on the new project, Ms. Springsteen comes here often to have meetings with our boss. I believe our lady boss might be afraid that her husband is spending too much time with another woman, so she’s here to
keep an eye on him.”
“Men don’t like to be watched, especially someone like our boss. I think something will happen sooner or later.”
“I know, right? A woman must be tactical and resourceful.”
“I believe that our boss treats her well though. If I was Master Carter, I would have chosen Lily Springsteen instead. She’s a wonderful woman, unlike this one, who is just a pretty face.”
“Me too.”
Sylvia was speechless.
Her frequent visits were just because she missed Odell and wanted to spend some time with him.
She pursed her lips and entered the elevator to return to Odell’s office.
The secretary reminded her, “Madam, Master Carter is still having a meeting, so it might take a while.”
“It’s fine. I’ll wait for him inside.”
Sylvia then entered the office.
The office was spacious but empty. She sat down on the couch and waited
Odell smiled and kissed her forehead. In a charming voice he said, “I am quite free today. Just have some rest. I’ll come get you when I’m done and we can go home together.”
“Okay.”
He kissed her lips again before he went out.
Sylvia laid back on the bed but was now no longer sleepy.
Her body felt sticky with the sweat she had gotten after their exertions.
She got out of bed and tiptoed into the bathroom next door to clean herself up.
She got dressed and returned to the room.
It was then that she heard someone conversing next door.
Odell was talking to a woman and she thought that the woman’s voice sounded familiar.
Sylvia’s expression changed. She snuck to the door and had a peek.
The door was not locked, so she saw Lily on the couch through the seam.
Lily was discussing work-related matters with Odell in her professional attire and elegant posture.
