On the car ride home , Sylvia mulled over the incident . Apart from the person from the Smith family who had harmed her , Sylvia didnt have any known enemies . However , if that person knew her whereabouts , they wouldnt just send a few small fries to insult her and record videos . This was more like the style of the Fallen family . She didnt believe Edgar would be impartial after uncovering this . It would be good to get one of Patrics men to investigate . After taking a bath , Sylvia hit the hay . The next morning , Sylvia arrived at the company on time . Having familiarized herself with the materials the day before , she was now ready to start managing the artists schedules .

Toms a popular idol , all because of one day off , you had to replace him ! Now youve poked the bear , I wont help you clean up this mess! Lucy crossed her arms and coldly snorted as she said sarcastic words , Sylvia closed the iPad , grabbed her car keys , and walked out . Lucy ran after her , asking , Where are you going ? To the crew . Hearing this , Lucy hurriedly followed . Tom , this notorious hell raiser in the company , was infamous for his volatile temperament , and his repertoire of dirty tricks seemed never ending Lucy was chomping at the bit to see Sylvia on the receiving end of his wrath .

As Toms hand rose menacingly into the air , fear was written all over everyones fa ces , With a contemptuous snort from Tom , his arm was seized just before he could bring the vase crashing to the ground . He turned around in surprise to find Sylvias icy gaze fixed on him . Put it down and apologize ! At that , Tom let out a scornful laugh . Who are you ? How dare you make me apologize ? Lucy hastily broke in with an amicable explanation , Mr. Walker , this is Miss Lancelot , the new agency director who started just yesterday . It was her who rejected your leave request this time . I tried to talk her around , but she insisted you were shirking your duties , and was adamant about replacing you . At that , Toms forehead veins popped out , his eyes shooting daggers at Sylvia . So its you who stirred the pot ! Ive been acting for two days . Whats the crime of taking a break ? Youre only on your second day and you dare reject my leave ! Seeing that Toms fury was completely directed towards Sylvia , Lucy felt a pang of schadenfreude , quietly backing away to watch the unfolding drama . Sylvia couldnt be bothered to engage with him . One last time , will you apologize or not ? Tom couldnt restrain his anger . I dont lay a finger on women , but youve really asked for it this time !

His awkward pose on the floor , butt propped up by Sylvias high heel , was a sight for sore eyes , His pained howls contrasted hilariously with his furious expression . In contrast , Sylvia , with her ice cold expression , drew cheers from the crowd . Even his agent and assistants were gobsmacked by her audacity , momentarily forgetting to intervene . Embarrassed by the spectacle he had become , Tom wished for the earth to swallow him whole . His animosity towards Sylvia intensified . Do you even know who I am ? You dare lay a hand on me ! Youve dug your own grave ! * Lucy , horrified , tried to intervene . Let him go ! Hes the second son of the Walker family of Frant City ! How could you hit him ! The Walker family , albeit distant relatives of the Smith family , were small fry among the major families in S City . Their influence was limited to Frant City . Not only did Sylvia not let go , but she also kicked Toms butt even harder . Tom immediately howled in pain . Seeing Sylvia disregarding her warnings , Lucy stomped her foot in a mix of frustration and pleasure . Youre toast , Miss Gordan ! Dont say I didnt warn you ! Sylvia was completely indifferent to her , looking down at Tom squirming under her foot . You little twerp , had enough ? Weve not seen each other for a few years , and you dare to act big ? Hearing her tone , Tom found it oddly familiar . He strained to turn his face from the ground and scrutinized hers . His expression swiftly shifted from agony to shock . Youre … Sylvia ? Sylvia grunted , Remember now ? Tom nodded vigorously , Im sorry , Sylvia . If I knew it was you , I wouldnt have dared act big ! Please let me go ! Im in paint Sylvia then finally released him . Tom dusted himself off , still grimacing in pain , but managed to smile flatteringly as he ushered Sylvia into a chair . Everyone was left dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events .
