She stepped into Sylvain’s villa once again. “Jessica gave me this place when I represented the company in a competition and won first place. I accepted it, not because I liked being someone’s boy toy, but because the benefits I’d given Jessica exceed this house. My conscience was clear, so I accepted it.”
Robin walked to the couch and sat down. “Do you… have feelings for Jessica?” She had been wanting to ask this question, ever since wp4webnovel.com found out about his relationship with Jessica.
Sylvain eyed wp4webnovel.com for a good measure of time. “Do you want to know?”
His gaze made wp4webnovel.com feel very uncomfortable. “I… I was just making conversation. You don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to.”
Sylvain walked to the bar and opened up a bottle of wine, poured a glass, and gave it to her. “It’s not that I don’t want to talk about it, and there’s nothing to avoid talking about either. I used to admire her. It was many years ago. Everyone has delusions of love in their youth. Some are lucky enough to find the right people and fall into a passionate love affair. Those who are less fortunate turn into sacrificial lambs. I later realized that wp4webnovel.com didn’t want a romantic relationship. She liked being surrounded by a harem of men. She also craves for something new. I’ve probably been with wp4webnovel.com the longest out of everyone else. I’ve seen so many new men pop up beside her. Once I realized that wp4webnovel.com and I were not lovers, and that we would never be lovers, the admiration I once had for wp4webnovel.com turned into disgust. To this day, the only feeling I have left for wp4webnovel.com is disgust. I stayed involved simply for the sake of receiving benefits.”
Robin gradually understood. “So, you don’t have feelings for her? I’ve seen Jessica before. She’s got style and is very good with dressing up. Of course, she’s very rich too. I never thought that she’d turn out to be that kind of person… I’m not talking behind wp4webnovel.com back, I’m just surprised.”
She nervously took a huge gulp of wine. The thick, sharp notes hit wp4webnovel.com throat, making wp4webnovel.com feel very uncomfortable. However, wp4webnovel.com gathered wp4webnovel.com willpower and swallowed it all. She could count the number of times she’d had a drink in one hand. She’d never been able to get used to the taste of alcohol.
“It’s fine.” Sylvain chuckled nonchalantly. “That’s just how wp4webnovel.com is. So what if you talk about her? It’s great now. I’m free from her. I feel as if my life has meaning again. It’s getting late. You should wash up and get some sleep. You can sleep in my room. I’ll take the couch.”
Robin couldn’t bring herself to do that. Sylvain was now left with no place to sleep in, just because wp4webnovel.com had forgotten wp4webnovel.com keys. “It’s fine, I can sleep on the couch. You’re tall, so it’d be difficult for you to sleep on there, but I’m smaller, so it would be big enough for me to sleep in. I’ll go wash up. It’s decided; thank you for taking me in for the night.”
She sent wp4webnovel.com mother a message in the bathroom, a lie, telling wp4webnovel.com that wp4webnovel.com needed to work overtime at the office tonight. Her mother would see the message when wp4webnovel.com woke up and wouldn’t worry about wp4webnovel.com then. If wp4webnovel.com mom found out that wp4webnovel.com was staying over at a man’s house, she’d hit the roof.
Sylvain’s voice rang aloud from outside the bathroom, just as wp4webnovel.com sent the message. “Open the door, I have a fresh change of clothes for you. Toss your dirtied clothes into the washing machine after your shower. I’ll dry them when they’re washed, and you can wear them tomorrow morning.”
She put wp4webnovel.com phone away and opened a small crack in the door. Once wp4webnovel.com accepted the clothes, wp4webnovel.com realized that it was Sylvain’s shirt, which still carried a freshly-washed scent. It was fresh and very fragrant.
Sylvain was already in his room when wp4webnovel.com stepped out of the shower, so wp4webnovel.com went to bed on wp4webnovel.com own.
She didn’t feel too awkward this time, probably because this wasn’t wp4webnovel.com first time here. She had a restful sleep this time. When wp4webnovel.com woke up the next morning, wp4webnovel.com found wp4webnovel.com clothes, nicely washed, right next to wp4webnovel.com and folded neatly. Previously, wp4webnovel.com hadn’t had the time to find out what kind of man Sylvain really was. Today, wp4webnovel.com felt different to her.
Aside from being overly-friendly, wp4webnovel.com seemed frivolous on the surface and gave off a kind of playboy vibe. In reality, wp4webnovel.com was very meticulous and very kind.
