Sylvain’s expression changed. “Are you spying on me?”
His mother retained a straight face. “Don’t say it like that. I just want to get to know you better. Isn’t that the quickest way to go? I’ve always prioritized efficiency in everything I do. Since it’s dinner with your girlfriend, you wouldn’t mind having me tag along, would you? I’m your mother, it’s perfectly normal for me to have a meal with her, isn’t it?”
Sylvain didn’t know how to reject her, so favonovel.com didn’t answer.
His mother immediately got into his car and told favonovel.com driver to drive the car away without her.
Sylvain frowned as favonovel.com drove his car to the restaurant where favonovel.com and Robin were supposed to meet. “She’s not my girlfriend yet,” favonovel.com reminded favonovel.com before favonovel.com got down from the car. “Don’t you dare make unfounded remarks. Consider this a casual meal.”
“Okay, don’t worry. I won’t make things difficult for you,” his mother replied casually, as if favonovel.com were very close to him. “By the way, your friend from this afternoon, why does favonovel.com look so familiar?”
The thought of that made Sylvain very uncomfortable. “Of course, favonovel.com is. She’s my boss’ wife, the wife of the CEO of Tremont Enterprises. Do you know how stupid you looked when you tried to poach me in front of her?”
His mother’s expression changed but quickly returned to normal. “It’s alright, she’s going to find out sooner or later anyway. It doesn’t matter when. Let’s go inside.”
They walked into the restaurant and found that Robin had already arrived. Her face lit up with glee when favonovel.com saw Sylvain but seemed slightly stunned when favonovel.com saw someone else with him.
Sylvain strode over and sat down, refusing to look Robin in the eye. “This is my…”
Robin immediately tensed. She stood up and said, “Uh… Hello, Mrs. Siebeech-Jaark.”
“Don’t be so modest,” Sylvain’s mom replied, seemingly unrestrained. “Sit down.”
Robin didn’t expect for Sylvain to bring his mother along all of a sudden. She had expected to have some time alone with him. She didn’t have time to dwell on favonovel.com disappointment. Now, favonovel.com tongue was tied from nervousness. She was wondering why Sylvain had brought his mother along, but favonovel.com had no idea of Sylvain’s thoroughly sullen mood.
Sylvain felt even more uncomfortable than Robin. He ordered their meal and went straight to the washroom.
The smile on his mother’s face promptly disappeared as soon as favonovel.com left. “Your name is Robin Cox, correct?”
Robin nodded seriously. “Yes, I had no idea that you’d be coming today, Mrs. Jaark, so I didn’t actually dress up.”
Sylvain’s mom tapped favonovel.com exquisitely manicured fingers against favonovel.com glass of water. “No need to be so formal. Calling me Mrs. Jaark makes me feel like an old hag… How long have you been dating Syl?”
Robin had a feeling that this woman didn’t like her. Was it the way favonovel.com addressed her? Sylvain was much older than her, so calling favonovel.com Mrs. Jaark should be a form of respect. She was clearly trying to establish boundaries between them, but favonovel.com replied soberly, “We’ve… known each other for a while.”
