After Divorce

Chapter 149: Big Brother’s Idea 

You can tell from the fact that the other party refuses to change their mind, just what Second Brother has put into this. Sylvia was really curious about it, but since Second Brother was dead set on keeping it under wraps, she gave up. “Well,” she thought, “if he doesn’t want to spill the beans now, I’ll just ask him later.” 

“Well, I that’s the case, let’s talk about our collaboration. Did my brother mention it to you? I’m currently looking into a tech company. I don’t know much about you, and I’m not entirely clear about your company either. He just hastly arranged for us to meet. Frankly, it seems quite inappropriate, especially to meet at the office.” 

As Sylvia started talking business, her demeanor changed. Her serious look deeply intrigued the man across from her, but what she said left Benjamin a bit puzzled. 

“Collaboration?” Benjamin exclaimed, surprised. “While it’s true I came here with that intention, the collaboration your brother mentioned wasn’t about a tech company. My company isn’t even in the tech sector.” 

Silence enveloped them both, neither expecting things to turn out like this. They had assumed the other’s idea of collaboration matched theirs. But now they realized that wasn’t the case at all their companies didn’t align, what was the point of discussing collaboration? 

w that. So why bring in someone totally unrelated? 

Sviva couldn’t wrap ber head around it. She was clearly involved in the tech industry now, and her brother knew that Sov 

After a moment, Benjamin chuckled. He figured out what Sylvia’s brother was up to. Frankly, it was a bit unethical, but hey, when opportunity knocks, you’ve got to seize it, right? 

“think I’ve figured out what your brother wants. Though I can’t collaborate with you directly, I do have contacts who could. You’ve probably seen Frank’s profile, you know about his connection with Cyril So, I assume you won’t be collaborating with him anymore. I have another company in mind that could be a potential match. Let me organize the details and send them to you later. Let’s exchange contact information.” 

His main goal was to exchange contact information, but mentioning the tech company piqued Sylvia’s interest. She couldn’t find a reason to object, so she reluctantly gave him ber work phone and added his contact details 

Benjamin noticed that Sylvia’s phone was different from the one she usually used, but he didn’t think much of it. “It’s all business,” he thought, seeing no harm in l. 

“Well, in that case, let me treat you to a meal I really didn’t expect my brother to put you in such a difficult position.. 

“It’s not that difficult,” Sylvainterjected “I’m actually happy to be doing this. It’s been a long time since we last met, so I’m glad for the opportunity. And your brother also gave me a choice, I didn’t refuse.” 

After a pause, Benjarin added, “But if you’re offering to treat me, I certainly won’t refuse.” 

Sylva reactantly took him out for lunch she had to admit, Benjamin was indeed a very considerate and gentle man 

He knew Sylvia might not be used to this kind of atmosphere, so he spoke patiently, always bringing up interesting topics to ease her nerves. 

After a pleasant meal, they parted ways to attend to their respective tasks for the afternoon. 

As soon as Benjamin lett, Sylvia’s expression changed. She immediately called Balk. 

“My dear brother, do you need to explain what’s going on? Was the purpose of bringing this person today not about discussing collaboration at all? Did you just want me to assess him and bring him home 

The way he looked at her was too suggestive. If this continued for too long, she might end up with another admirer around her. 

Sylvia was faming. She couldn’t understand what her brother was thinking. He knew her well enough to know she wasn’t interested in relationships Could she really jump into another one so quickly after being hurt? 

Baik protested on the other end of the line, “It’s not my fault! It was Big Brother’s idea. He said if you continued like this, your health would suffer. Seeing you unhappy makes us sad too. So, I thought of a way to help you relax Besides, this guy contacted me on his own. I just thought he might have a company that could collaborate with yours. After all, we’re just making recommendations within reasonable limits. You two were middle school classmates; what’s the harm in chatting?” 

“You wouldn’t normally do something like this. Are you trying to get back at me for not treating you well over the years? If so, can’t you find a better way than using something like this to get back at me? 

Sylvia gritted her teeth. If this guy really was sent by Big Brother, Balk would definitely try to reject him. But now, with Big Brother and Balk working together, it was obvious they were up to something. 

Hearing Sylvia’s words, Balk burst into laughter. “Your brother isn’t that over the top. I just thought it was time for you Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

ou to start a new life. Yes, the company is your responsibility, but that doesn’t mean your whole life should revolve around it. You should do other things too. Even if you’re not getting married, you should at least date. There are so many men in the world, take your time to choose. We’re just making reasonable recommendations. In the end, it’s up to you to decide.” 

“Alright, I don’t want to hear any more about this. I have work to do.” 

She hung up and walked to the office, feeling irritated. On her way back, she received another call from Big Brother. 

She didn’t need to guess, it was definitely because Balk had run to tattle on her, or Big Brother had found out she met Benjamin. Reluctantly, she answered the call.
