Chapter 209 

Since Bridget had to stay home after her miscarriage, she figured it was time to move on with her other plans

While sneaking off to the restroom, Sylvia dialed Naomi’s number

Mom, is Edwin at thepl 

He is. What’s up?” 

office today?” 

I was thinking of grabbing lunch with him.” 

As she spoke, Sylvia glanced down at the bag by her feet, containing Rupert’s jacket

She was worried that approaching Rupert directly might give away her feelings

Having lunch with Edwin seemed like a perfect excuse to return Rupert’s jacket without raising suspicion

Naomi pondered for a moment before replying, Better not. Edwin’s swamped today.” 

Sylvia was taken aback. Busy with a big deal?” 

Not exactly,Naomi hesitated before sighing deeply. Rupert’s sick. Remember he jumped into the lake to save you? Soaked to the skin, he still got you to the hospital. And after Warren’s car accident last night, he spent the whole night covering for Warren’s duties. He went to work this morning as if nothing happened. He’s only human; of course, he’s sick now.” 

Sick?Sylvia’s heart skipped a beat

She suddenly remembered Rupert’s unusually high body temperature from the night before, thinking it was just men being naturally warmer

Exactly. Edwin couldn’t stand by and do nothing, so he’s covering for him at work. Probably won’t even have time for lunch,” Naomi explained

Got it,Sylvia replied, her feelings a mix of emotions

Around her, the office buzz began to pick up

Did you see it?” 

Yeah, Ms. Simpson is so lucky. Sick and still gets jewelry as comfort. Rupert is way too romantic.” 

She gets colorful gemstones when she’s ill, and all we get are colorful pills to choose from when we’re sick.” 

Laughter erupted among them, though envy was evident in their eyes

Sylvia opened Twitter and saw Bridget’s post from a few minutes ago

Medicine tastes bitter, but the candy is sweet.” 

The photo showed her wearing a necklace with snowflakeembedded colorful gemstones, resembling a string of candies

It was a piece from the P collection that had only been released recently

Bridget wearing it meant the rumors were true; Rupert was serious about marrying her after the project with Bailey

Sylvia’s rationality and clarity returned swiftly

The Rupert who had saved her was just a facade; his ultimate goal was to protect Bridget

Clenching her fists, Sylvia then opened the express delivery app on her phone

Everything would have to wait until noon

09:08 

Noon

Sylvia, carrying the bag, took a taxi to the Garcia Group

Upon arrival, she was greeted by Edwin’s assistant

Ms. Lloyd, Edwin asked me to wait for you here.” 

Thanks. I hope I’m not interrupting your work. My mom mentioned Edwin is too busy to even eat, so I thought I’d bring him something.” 

This wasn’t Sylvia’s first visit to the Garcia Group. She had delivered meals to Edwin on behalf of Naomi before, so she wasn’t worried about raising suspicions

However, she had never ventured deep into the building

Entering the lobby, she looked up at the intricate design of the overlapping corridors. Her target today was the very top of these corridors

Turning her gaze away, Sylvia discreetly placed a milk on the reception desk

The receptionist smiled and mouthed a silent thank you

Taking the private elevator, the assistant explained, Edwin is still in Rupert’s office. I’ll take you to Edwin’s office to wait.” 

Sylvia interrupted, No need. Just take me straight to Rupert’s office. I have to return a jacket he lent me. Plus, it’ll save Edwin the trouble of running up and down.” 

The assistant hesitated but, after seeing what she brought, decided to take her to the top floor

Watching the elevator numbers climb, Sylvia’s heart raced
