"Who is the 'loser' you're talking about?" just as Sylvie was about to say something more to Andrew's assistant, there came a gentle voice behind her.

The voice was familiar and charming.

As soon as she turned around, Sylvie saw Lucian standing behind her and was dumbfounded.

Wasn't he in Riverside City? Why was he suddenly here?

As if knowing what she was thinking, Lucien took a step forward and stood beside her, held her shoulder and asked patiently again, "I just heard you calling someone 'loser'. Who is it?"

His eyes were so beautiful that Sylvie felt she was about drown in them. Then she murmured, "I'm talking about someone who's so ordinary, yet so overly confident."

Hearing that, Lucien nodded, smiled, and looked at Andrew's assistant. "This word fits this mister very much."

Hearing this, Andrew's assistant was furious.

Lucien was implying that he was indeed a loser.

It was not until then that Sylvie came back to her senses. Feeling the warmth from Lucien's palm on her shoulder, she felt a bit uncomfortable, shrugged her shoulder and tried to break free from his arm around her shoulder. However, Lucien tightened his hand and exchanged a glance with her.

Sylvie understood at once Andrew's assistant was watching them. Since he was here for her now, it meant that he had acquiesced in their relationship as a couple, which meant it was normal that they should look intimate. Therefore, Sylvie relaxed.

She looked up at Lucien and asked, "Why are you here?"

Lucien said with a doting smile, "I heard you were bullied, of course I had to come check you up."

It was pretty obvious who he was referring to that were bullying Sylvie. Although Andrew was still at work, his assistant would convey every word Lucien had said to Andrew.

However, for Lucien, although he said these words on purpose for Andrew's assistant to hear, he meant every word he said. He did catch an early flight here because he knew that Sylvie was being bullied. He had thought about it. Although he had told Andrew that he was in a relationship with Sylvie, Andrew might not believe it. So, Lucien decided to prove it with action by showing up here. Moreover, he wanted to see Sylvie.

They had just parted, but he had been missing her like crazy.

Andrew's assistant didn't say anything more and it happened that Andrew and Nina finished working. From a distance, Nina saw Lucien and a playful smile appeared on her face. As She walked over to them, she said to Andrew, who was beside her, "Poor Sylvie, she's been trying to keep her relationship with Lucien a secret, and now everyone knows it."

She was implying something. Nina knew that Andrew must think that Sylvie was a snob, so she said this on purpose to show him that if Sylvie was really the kind of person Andrew thought she was, she would have told everyone about it a long time ago.

Andrew's face changed and he replied, "She's really low-key."

Nina sighed and said, "I know. If she was high-profile as me, she wouldn't have been bullied in the first place."

After saying that, Nina quickened her pace and left while Andrew stood there, feeling embarrassed.

There people were really good, they didn't even need to use dirty words to humiliate someone.

Nina walked to Sylvie and Lucien and took a glance at Andrew's assistant. From the look on Andrew's assistant's livid face, she could tell that he had been taught a nice lesson just now.

She was delighted and greeted Lucien, "Mr. Fowler, what brings you here?"

Lucien had been famous in Riverside City as a businessman, the staff here had long noticed his appearance here and his holding Sylvie's shoulder.

And now, with Nina beside them, the director and other staff here all walked over to greet Lucien and stared curiously at Sylvie, whose shoulder was held by Lucien.

Sylvie had never been such a center of attention before, she covered her face awkwardly with her hand and wanted to flee, but was stopped by a glance from Nina. Sylvie could tell that Nina was warning her not to run away.

Helpless, she put down her hand. Gosh! Having a domineering boss who could protect her from bad guys was sometimes a bad thing, for example, one glance from Nina could terrify her.

Of course, Lucien could sense that Sylvie was feeling uncomfortable here. He kept his composure and greeted several people before he said to Nina, "Nina, do you mind giving Sylvie half-a-day leave?" "Not at all. You guys go on your date," Nina agreed readily.

Before Sylvie could say anything, she was pushed out of the crowd by Nina, who wanted to help Lucien and her out of here.

Just like that, Sylvie left the set in a daze.

After Sylvie left, the director and several staff here stayed and asked Nina questions, "Are Lucien and Sylvie a couple? When did they start dating?"

"I didn't know Sylvie's got that kind of charm in her."

"Are they going to get married?"

Facing their questions, Nina felt as if she was at a press conference.

"All I know is that they are in love and they are in a very serious relationship, but I'm not sure where they will end up." Nina had been asked a lot of tricky questions before and was skillful in giving vague

answers.

Her words not only told everyone that Sylvie was indeed dating Lucien, but she also didn't make it clear whether they would get married or not.

After saying that, Nina arched her eyebrows at Andrew, who was near, and smiled slyly.

How dare someone like him covet Sylvie?

Did he really think he deserved Sylvie?

Moreover, he dared look down upon Sylvie without knowing that none of them had ever taken him seriously.

However, Nina was really impressed by Lucien's showing up here and standing up for Sylvie today, no one would look down upon Sylvie from today on. Nina believed that Sylvie was somewhat moved by this. Sylvie, her lovely assistant. Nina really wanted her to be happy, which would piss Andrew off.

On the other side, Sylvie, who was taken out of the set by Lucien, was still in a daze. She murmured to Lucien, "Where are we going?"

As Nina's assistant, Sylvie's job was to serve her. Now that she was given a leave, she had no idea what she should do.

Hearing this, Lucien smiled, "Nina has said it, we are going on a date."

Sylvie felt a bit shy. Although she had always been fascinated about the idea of dating, she thought that they were only a fake couple.

Seeing through her mind, Lucien frowned and asked her in a serious tone, "You still think we are nothing but a fake couple?"

Sylvie was stunned by his question and asked in a low voice, "Aren't we?"

Taking a deep breath, Lucien felt a bit helpless.
