I was inexplicably nervous entering Yard Mansion.
The housekeeper took me to the living room. She opened the door and let me in. "Miss Lane, please come in."
"Thank you."
I caught a sweet perfume scent that only women wore when I entered.
Was there someone else here?
I looked toward the sofa and saw a beautiful woman sitting there looking at me. Her red lips were pulled into a bright smile. "Sylvester, Miss Lane is here."
She knew me.
Sylvester turned around. "President Lane, you're here."
I went up to them, my gaze falling on the woman. "This is..."
"Hello, my name is Rooney Taylor," she introduced herself.
"My girlfriend," Sylvester immediately added.
I had never heard about Sylvester having a girlfriend before so I gave her a nod. "Hello, I'm Wanda Lane."
"I know. Sylvester mentioned you, you're his sister," Rooney said without hesitation.
I was stunned. So, that was how Sylvester had been introducing me. There was a special feeling in my heart.
Sylvester glared at Rooney, seemingly displeased with what she had just said before then turning to me. "Show me the project proposal."
"Okay."
I handed over the project book. Sylvester still looked very serious. "I see this is why you're inconvenienced. I didn't expect you to have a girlfriend, President Yard. I was quite surprised."
Rooney smiled sweetly. "President Yard isn't too fond of me. He won't allow us to be together to protect me. He told Chairman Yard that we broke up but since he's abroad now, I came back."
