Nina was amused by Sylvie's answer. Nina knew that she had watched a lot of rom-coms and read loads of love stories? She gave such good relationship advice and pinpointed the problem between Cameron and Nina. Lucien's intention couldn't be clearer, but why wasn't Sylvie able to see through it now?

"Two sexually active single people having dinner in a romantic restaurant. I don't know. Sounds like a date to me," Nina teased, stroking her perfectly-shaped chin.

Sylvie snapped, "No, it's not! He wants to treat me to dinner because I helped him last time. It's purely a thank-you dinner. Nothing else."

They were people from different worlds. If it weren't for Nina and Cameron, she wouldn't even have a chance to sit at the same table with him last time they were in Hazelton. Nina could tell what Sylvie was thinking.

Sylvie was this conservative girl who had never thought about marrying off to a wealthy family. She probably felt like she didn't deserve someone like Lucien.

Nina felt for Sylvie. After all, she had been through the same thing before. She tried to distract Sylvie from this topic. "Okay. Let's just end it there. Come and pick an outfit."

Sylvie sighed. "I don't have anything for an occasion like this. I only have sweat shirts and casual wears."

Being an assistant meant that she had to be running around on set all day. She had to make sure what she was wearing was comfortable enough.

"How do you know? I'm sure we can replace something." With that, Nina smiled and turned to Sylvie's closet.

She picked out a pair of black trousers and a casual white button-up for Sylvie and made her put them on. Then, she helped Sylvie tuck the shirt in and untied the top two buttons. Nina had never noticed that Sylvie's skin was so fair and smooth.

Before Nina could see how it looked on her, Sylvie covered the collar and said, "No, no. I'm not used to showing so much skin."

She had only worn this shirt on the set a few times to protect herself from the searing sun rays. Even if she felt too hot, she had only unbuttoned the top one.

Nina suggested, "You have a good shape. You should show it off some time."

Why didn't Sylvie know how to make good use of her natural gift?

Sylvie shook her head, scurried to the closet, and put on an oversize crew neck shirt, covering herself up. Nina said helplessly, "Alright. Just wear what you want to wear. You look just fine."

"I know, right?" Sylvie looked at herself in the mirror and tidied up. "I've already ordered dinner for you. Be sure to eat it before it gets cold," she said.

"Okay," Nina replied as she walked Sylvie to the elevator.

Sylvie had planned to take a taxi to the restaurant. But when she got down to the hotel lobby, Lucien was standing right there waiting for her.

To avert any possible scandals, Lucien didn't stay in the same hotel with Sylvie and Nina as Cameron did. Instead, he checked into the hotel next door.

"What are you doing here? I thought you are going to wait for me at the restaurant." Sylvie blushed.

Lucien chuckled. "I'm just dropping by to pick you up."

The two were just about to leave when they bumped into Andrew.

Ever since Andrew decided to side with Nina, he had been keeping a safe distance from her. Now that he wasn't coerced into approaching Nina, he felt much more relieved.

He also replaced the assistant that Jillian had bought off.

Seeing Sylvie and Lucien standing side by side, Andrew was a little surprised.

However, he soon collected himself and greeted Lucien, "Mr. Fowler? What are you doing here..."

Lucien didn't want anything to do with Andrew. If it weren't for the fact that Nina and Cameron got embroiled in the mess that Andrew and Jillian had made, he would not have known that Andrew existed at all. He ignored the hand Andrew extended and said indifferently, "I'm eating out with my friend."

Andrew glanced at Sylvie in shock. Wasn't she Nina's assistant? Lucien Fowler literally just called her his "friend"? Shouldn't his friend be rich tycoons like Julian and Cameron? Or at least superstars like Nina? Andrew chaffed, "Oh, I know. Mr. Fowler here is your boyfriend, isn't he?"

Sylvie wanted to roll her eyes. What was wrong with this Andrew Sonfield? Last time, when he saw Cameron and her standing next to each other, he also asked her if Cameron was her boyfriend. Now, Lucien? What's his deal? Couldn't a girl just hang out with her friend who happens to be a man? There's just no pure friendship between the opposite gender in his eyes? Did he know how inappropriate it was to say something like that? He was embarrassing her in front of Lucien!

Sylvie had always found Andrew annoying. That didn't change even if Andrew had clearly said that he was going to side with Nina.

She rolled her eyes at him and said, "Mr. Sonfield, I think you should watch your mouth a little. You are lucky that Mr. Fowler doesn't care about such a mindless remark. Just think about what if he does take the offense."

Before Andrew could react, Sylvie turned to Lucien and smiled. "Mr. Fowler, let's go."

With that, Sylvie walked away. Lucien glanced at Andrew coldly and quickly caught up with the girl.

Lucien couldn't care less about Andrew's comment. After all, he really did wish he was Sylvie's boyfriend.

What Lucien didn't like was the way Andrew stared at Sylvie as if he had feelings for her.

After the two left, Andrew's new assistant growled, "Mr. Sonfield, isn't she Nina's assistant? How arrogant of her to speak to you like that!"

"Well, gotta get used to it," said Andrew, looking at the two leaving.

Thinking back, Sylvie had never given him a smile since he came into contact with Nina on the set.

Even so, her attitude towards him was never as cold as today.☐☐☐
