Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 2181

Gabriel lounged nonchalantly in his chair, his expression detached. "Back off," he muttered coolly.

The waitress in her crisp uniform felt a chill run up her spine from his dismissive glance. Though reluctant, she didn't dare push further and walked away with her tray of drinks.

Dannis, his eyes bloodshot from alcohol, squinted and sneered, "Gabriel, why so uptight? No wonder you're still single. With that attitude, no one would fall in love with you."

Baron chuckled lightly and said, "These days, being upright doesn't mean much. What's crucial for getting a girlfriend is whether you've got cash or a place to call home. Gabriel, come work for me again. I've got a new property development—you can pick any unit you want, and I'll give you a 10% discount."

Sylvia nearly spilled her drink, she dipped her head to hide a smirk.

Dannis, slurring with a hostess in his arms, said, "Gabriel, Baron's being pretty generous with you—offering a job and a place. Think it over, will ya?"

Suddenly, Sylvia stood up with her drink and approached Gabriel. She tilted her head with a mix of jest and earnest, "Mr. Carnes is without a girlfriend? What do you think about me?"

Everyone paused, and Baron sat up straight, his gaze fixed on Sylvia's back.

Gabriel looked up at her, silent.

Sylvia smiled, "If you think it's too soon, we can take it slow. I can invite you for a coffee, a drink—give you the chance to get to know me."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Gabriel nodded slowly, "Alright."

Sylvia extended her hand sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. Carnes, for giving me this opportunity."

Gabriel reached out to shake her hand, "You're welcome."

Instead of letting go, Sylvia smoothly sat on Gabriel's lap, her eyes soft and seductive, "Care for a drink?"

"Sure, I'll have a bit."
