Chapter 142-
A while later, Sylvie was pressed and had to use the restroom.
She frowned as she washed her hands, an angry vein even popping up in her forehead.
Despite how hard she tried, she couldnât stop herself from being inad at Cindy and her attempt to ridicule her in front of so many people. How did she even figure out she was a member of the Chengs? Did her boyfriend tell her?
Sylvie exhaled deeply. The event was starting soon, and she needed to get into a better mood for what sheâd planned. âWhatâre you doing with Machai?â She jumped when she heard the familiar voice behind her.
Turning around, her lips parted as she found Kage standing before her, leaning casually against the wall with one hand tucked in his pocket.
What was he doing!? This was the female restroom. Although, Sylvie wasnât sure there was anyone else sound, but anyone could walk in at any moment.
She was too stunned by his unexpected presence to pay attention to his question.
âIs there a particular reason youâve been moving around with him?â Kage pressed, ignoring her entire startled look.
Finally, the question sank in, as well as Sylvieâs brows.
YâYou shouldnât be here,â she mumbled, turning around to dry her hands under the automatic dryer.
âYou havenât answered my question.â
She lifted her eyes to meet his gaze through the mirror. Hurt shone through.
Seriously? Was he concerned about Machai when heâd stood there and watched Cindy humiliate her?
She lowered her gaze, spending more time than necessary drying her hands. Her movements were harder now, hinting at her anger.
âMaybe itâs because you havenât been asking the right questions, she answered dryly.
Theyâve met on multiple occasions now, yet he still hadnât asked about their kids. Had he completely forgotten about them or what?
The thought of it all made her emotions get worse.
Kage remained silent, until Sylvie turned around, being done with her hands.
âYou should stay away from him,â his voice sounded more serious now, but overall, he remained calm. âHeâs bad and isnât someone you should associate with.â
âAre you trying to limit the people I associate with?â She arched her brows, stopping herself in time from scoffing.
âI have no business with the people you mingle with. This very one just happens to be an acquaintance, and Iâm telling you to stay away from him.â
She fisted her hands beside her, deciding to say nothing. Otherwise, she might say the wrong words.
She started toward the exit, walking past him, but stopped when she was some inches away.
âDid you-â she faced him. â-ever wonder what happened with the kids?â
