Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1732

No, she could not let them see that anything was wrong. Sylvia quickly grabbed the microphone with her free hand and passed it to Krystina. "I need to use the restroom." Not daring to look back, she dropped the excuse, threw open the door to the private karaoke room, and rushed out.

The freezing air in the hallway rushed into her lungs as Sylvia pushed open the restroom door and dashed straight for the sink. Gripping the edges of the marble vanity, her stomach suddenly churned violently. She bowed her head over the basin and began to dry heave uncontrollably.

Back in the private room, the atmosphere had grown heavy after Sylvia's performance. Abriella pulled a tissue from the box, dabbing her eyes while sniffing softly. "Sylvia sings so beautifully. She actually brought me to tears."

Krystina let out a sigh of her own and set her maracas back on the table. "I know, right? She has such a gorgeous voice, but she never wants to sing. We definitely have to make her sing a few more later."

Only Emmy remained leaning against the sofa, her brows still knitted together. She turned to look at Krystina and Abriella, her tone laced with worry. "Has she been acting normal lately? You two are close to her. Have you noticed anything unusual?"

Abriella and Krystina exchanged a look before both shook their heads in confusion. "No, she seems perfectly fine."

Just as she finished speaking, the door to the room was pushed open. Sylvia walked in, her face looking perfectly clean, the slight redness at the corners of her eyes completely concealed by a fresh layer of foundation. Acting as though nothing had happened, she wore a faint smile as she returned to her seat on the sofa.

Seeing her return, Emmy shifted closer and offered a gentle word of advice. "Sylvia, getting the second-tier Federal Support Grant for Agri-Tech Ventures would already be an incredible achievement. The company has only been around for a few years, and reaching its current scale is nothing short of an industry miracle. You really do not need to push yourself this hard. You have to learn to take a break and not keep yourself wound so tight." Wrapping a comforting arm around Sylvia's shoulders, Emmy continued, "I will have someone send over a few VIP passes for a resort in Fiji. You can take your friends or your assistant and go relax for a few days."

A warm feeling washed over Sylvia's heart. "Thank you, Emmy. Do not worry. I know my limits, and I promise I will pace myself."
