The Aegean Sea We Promised: In the End, My Solitary Wish
Chapter 4
I hadn't bought a ticket back to River City because my destination was Singapore.
After taking over the family business, what I wanted most was to enter the supermarket industry, and that plot of land in the west suburbs was the most suitable location at the moment.
Kevin recommended a mentor to me, saying he was his father's close friend. As long as I had a meal with him, I could learn a lot.
We hit it off immediately. During the meal, the mentor helped me solve many of my current doubts. He liked me very much and suggested that I stay and study in his company for half a year, saying that after half a year I would definitely be able to successfully enter the supermarket industry and make a name for myself.
With such an opportunity presented, I had no reason to refuse.
After dinner, before I could send the mentor back to his residence, Saylor's calls kept coming in.
I impatiently hung up several times until the mentor spoke up: "Do you need to inform your family about coming to Singapore?"
The mentor must have seen my affectionate contact name for Saylor.
I shook my head and explained: "That's my ex-family now. I've already decided to divorce."
After dropping the mentor off, I finally called Saylor back.
As soon as the call connected, Saylor directly questioned me: "Yannick, what do you mean? Why are the business partners telling me today that they will only discuss cooperation matters with you face-to-face?"
"What exactly happened? Haven't I been in charge of all company affairs big and small for the past few years? Do you know how important tonight's cooperation is to me?"
Hearing her usual imperious tone, I couldn't help but laugh.
"So what?"
Just as I finished speaking, Ryan's voice came through the phone: "Saylor, you have to help me with this. I only have you now."
Saylor reassured him softly, "Don't worry, I've got this."
Hearing this, I clenched my fist and struck the steering wheel hard twice, a surge of hatred rising in my heart.
Saylor kept insisting to me that there was nothing between her and Ryan, yet she was comforting him tenderly right in front of me.
I don't know when Saylor started wearing this mask of false emotions when facing me.
It's truly disgusting.
I coldly refused and then hung up the phone and turned it off.
