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 virtual-novel.net found out about his relationship with Jessica.
Sylvain eyed virtual-novel.net for a good measure of time. “Do you want to know?”
His gaze made virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net the longest out of everyone else. I’ve seen so many new men pop up beside her. Once I realized that virtual-novel.net and I were not lovers, and that we would never be lovers, the admiration I once had for virtual-novel.net turned into disgust. To this day, the only feeling I have left for virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net back, I’m just surprised.”
She nervously took a huge gulp of wine. The thick, sharp notes hit virtual-novel.net throat, making virtual-novel.net feel very uncomfortable. However, virtual-novel.net gathered virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net had forgotten virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net mother a message in the bathroom, a lie, telling virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net needed to work overtime at the office tonight. Her mother would see the message when virtual-novel.net woke up and wouldn’t worry about virtual-novel.net then. If virtual-novel.net mom found out that virtual-novel.net was staying over at a man’s house, she’d hit the roof.
Sylvain’s voice rang aloud from outside the bathroom, just as virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net phone away and opened a small crack in the door. Once virtual-novel.net accepted the clothes, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net stepped out of the shower, so virtual-novel.net went to bed on virtual-novel.net own.
She didn’t feel too awkward this time, probably because this wasn’t virtual-novel.net first time here. She had a restful sleep this time. When virtual-novel.net woke up the next morning, virtual-novel.net found virtual-novel.net clothes, nicely washed, right next to virtual-novel.net and folded neatly. Previously, virtual-novel.net hadn’t had the time to find out what kind of man Sylvain really was. Today, virtual-novel.net felt different to her.
Aside from being overly-friendly, virtual-novel.net seemed frivolous on the surface and gave off a kind of playboy vibe. In reality, virtual-novel.net was very meticulous and very kind.
