After dinner, Sylvia applied a light touch of makeup and slipped into her outfit for the day, ready to step out. She glanced back at
Gabriel, who seemed to be tagging along, and double-checked with a playful tone, "You're reallying withto work?"
Gabriel offered a casual smile. "You don't wantto?"
With a shrug and a hint of mischief in her voice, Sylvia replied, "Wouldn't dream of stopping you!"
They descended the apartment staircase, with Gabriel taking the driver's seat and Sylvia settling beside him. She sneaked glances
at the imposing man beside her and couldn't help but giggle under her breath. It felt like she was on top of the world.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt Glory Group's headquarters, the investigator Baron had dispatched quickly got back to him. "Mr. Barlow, that Gabriel had once
registered a small business in M Country, but it's long gone. No trace of where he might be running apany now or what sort of
business he's involved with."
Baron let out a dismissive chuckle. "If you can't find it, it probably doesn't exist."
The other end of the line concurred. "Seems likely."
"Alright, got it!" Baron hung up and turned to Dannis, lounging on the sofa with a bandage wrapped around his forehead, and
sneered, "My guys checked it out. All that talk about doing business is hot air. His little venture's been shut down for ages!"
Dannis, still nursing his wounded pride, scoffed, "So he's basically a freeloader?"
Handing Baron a cigarette and lighting it for him, Dannis added, "No need to worry about him then!"
Baron's laughter was cold and contemptuous. "Sylvia's been fooled, thinking she snagged the leg of sbigshot!"
Dannis, ever the sycophant, chimed in, "l asked the driver who took them hyesterday. They went to Willowbrook Plaza,
apparently where Sylvia stays."
Baron's hatred mixed with frustration, "Not even willing to splurge on a hotel room. Thinks he can snag a free ride, or maybe he's
just playing the pretty boy? Pathetic!"
Dannis added, "His looks might get him a meal ticket, but daring to cross paths with someone you've got your eye on? Can't let
him off easy!"
Baron took a drag of his cigarette, exhaling slowly with a vicious gleam in his eye. "Sylvia's mine, that's a given. As for Gabriel, got
any ideas on how to take him out?"
Dannis jumped, a flicker of fear in his voice, "You want to kill him? Isn't that a bit much?"
