Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 2256

Sylvia's expression was neutral. "Not sure yet, I might spend New Year's in J City, or maybe I'll travel. Wherever I end up on New Year's Day, that's where I'll celebrate."

Her casual tone belied the emotion it stirred in Milanda's heart. "Boss, why don't you come spend New Year's with my family?"

Milanda had been working with Sylvia for two years. Although she didn't know the specifics of Sylvia's family situation, she knew that Sylvia was always alone during the holidays.

"Pity party for me?" Sylvia looked up, a teasing smile on her face.

"Of course not, I just thought it would be nice to have a lively New Year. My parents love having a full house. Back in college, I used to invite classmates who couldn't go home for the holidays."

Sylvia chuckled, "Thanks, but that's alright. New Year's is just another holiday for me, a good chance to take a break."

Milanda nodded reluctantly. "Alright then, you've been working hard all year. You deserve some rest."

As Sylvia's phone rang, Milanda took it as her cue to leave, gathering her things.

"Magdalen!" Sylvia greeted warmly into the phone.

"Busy?" Magdalen asked.

Leaning back, Sylvia replied with a relaxed air, "Not too bad. Things have slowed down since yesterday. What's up, need something?"

Magdalen laughed, "I'm heading to C City to meet a client. Come with me."

"C City?" Sylvia echoed thoughtfully.

"A very important client. I'm worried I might not handle it alone. I could use your support," Magdalen said with a chuckle.

Sylvia joked back, "A client you can't handle?"

"Yeah, one of those tough nuts to crack!" said Magdalen. "So, you in?"

"If Ms. Sampson is asking, how can I refuse? When do we leave?" Sylvia smiled.

"Tomorrow. It's almost New Year's, better to go and come back soon."

"Alright, send me the client details so I can prepare."

"No need for that. You'll do great just winging it!"
