Silvia lowered her gaze before she nodded and said, âAlright.â
After Dulcie left, she gave Conrad a call.
Once she heard that the situation in Ten Miles Village was under control, she said, âMr. Clark, thereâs no need to rush the fabric production. You can begin once the flood has subsided.â
âOkay. Thank you, Miss Pond.â
After she hung up, Silvia received a call from Neil.
âLetâs have lunch together.â
Silvia pursed her lips. âRemus Corporation and MY Corporation are a little far apart, so I might not make it in time.â
âIâll leave Remus Corporation half an hour early.â
âMr. Remus, I havenât made up my mind yet.â
Neil chuckled and said in a low voice, âI just want to share a meal with you. Iâm not trying to get an answer from you.â
âAlright. What do you want for lunch?â
âShouldnât I be asking you that?â
Silviaâs heart rate increased slightly when she detected the playful tone in his voice. âIâm fine with anything.â
âHow about curry?â
She instinctively tightened her grip on her phone. âMr. Remus, you donât need to go out of your way for me. Just choose a restaurant that works for both of us.â
After a brief pause, he softly said, âAlright.â
âI have some work to complete, so Iâll get back to it now.â
Once the call ended, Silvia touched her flushed face and subconsciously smiled.
She picked up a file and continued reading. She was able to concentrate at first, but her focus began to wane as noon approached.
Despite that, she managed to hold out until noon. When she checked her phone, Neil had already sent her the name and location of the restaurant.
After she reapplied her lipstick in the bathroom, she bumped into Dulcie in the elevator.
Dulcie looked at her in surprise. âYouâre heading out for lunch?â
âYes.â She nodded.
âAlone?â
âNo, Iâm meeting someone.â
Worried that Dulcie would press for more details, Silvia quickly said, âI just remembered that I left something in the office. Go ahead. Iâll take the next elevator.â
âAlright.â
Dulcie looked at Silvia as she left in a hurry. Was she imagining things, or was Silvia acting strangely today?
After Silvia sat in her office for a few minutes and felt certain that Dulcie had left, she finally headed out.
By the time she arrived at the restaurant that Neil had selected, he was already waiting there.
He frowned as he noticed her scanning the area while she walked toward him. It was as though she was checking for anyone familiar.
She only turned her attention to him when she sat across from him.
âHave you decided what to order?â
Neil handed her the menu. âNo. You can have a look and choose whatever you like. Iâve booked the whole restaurant, so no oneâs going to disturb us.â
Silvia breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. Then, she took the menu to see what to order.
His expression gradually darkened. After Silvia made her selection, he casually asked, âAre you worried that others might see us having a meal together?â
She was momentarily taken aback. âIâm just afraid that I might have to explain things if I run into someone I know. After all, weâre in an awkward situation,â she said.

âAre you upset?â
âNo.â Neil took a sip from his cup and replied impassively.
