Chapter: 19
Leaning in towards Sabrina, the product manager whispered, “They seem ideal for each other, don’t
they? A wedding could be on the horizon.”
Sabrina felt a twinge of pain in her heart, forcing a smile as she rose to greet them.
“Mr. Blakely, what a privilege to have you! Please, sit. Galilea, you too.” Before Sabrina could utter
another word, Julia had already orchestrated their seating.

The rest of the crowd stood to welcome them.
“Everyone, please sit,” Tyrone announced, causing the group to retake their seats.
The atmosphere seemed to be harmonious.
The initial tension had faded. Julia and the others consciously made an effort to include Tyrone and
Galilea in their conversations.
Tyrone was usually a man of few words, but when he did speak, he was succinct and to the point.
Sabrina, on the other hand, was unusually quiet, her silence masked by Tyrone and Galilea’s presence.
Amidst the chatter, Julia noticed the food on Galilea’s plate and cautioned her, “Don’t eat too much,
Galilea.”
Celebrities had to maintain their figures after all.
“Alright.” Galilea sighed, shifting her pork, slathered in spicy chili oil, to Tyrone’s plate. “Tyrone, I can’t
finish this. Help me out?”
The pork was covered with chili oil.
Tyrone, having a sensitive stomach, refrained from indulging in spicy food due to his digestive issues.
Sabrina was about to caution him when she saw Tyrone calmly pick up the piece of chili-covered pork
and consume it without any change in his expression,
The words that Sabrina was on the verge of uttering became lodged in her throat, and she chose to
swallow them instead.
After all, could he refuse anything from the woman he Loved?
Sabrina felt relief wash over her for not voicing her concern. It would have only resulted in
embarrassment.
When offered a toast, Sabrina cited recent stomach issues and opted for tea instead of wine.
Following some time, Julia shifted the focus to Sabrina. She asked Tyrone casually, “I hear Sabrina is
your sister, and she works under you, Mr. Blakely. You two must share quite a bond.”
Tyrone glanced at Sabrina, then turned to Galilea. He said indifferently, “My grandfather tasked me with
looking after her.” ©
The answer seemed flawless indeed. Considering that Sabrina joined the Blakely family when Tyrone
was already twenty years old, they hadn’t grown up together. How could they have sibling affection?
Sabrina’s heart broke. ©
She was unsure if his words were to maintain distance from her in Galilea’s presence or if they were
his genuine feelings.
