âSilvia, you asked me to stay away from Ada, but what about you and Chris?â
Silvia frowned. âThis is different. Nothing will happen between me and Chris.â
Neil sneered immediately after she spoke.
âSo, you donât trust me, but youâre asking me to trust you?â
âThatâs not what I mean. Iââ
Before she could finish, Neil cut her off.
âDonât bother explaining. I wonât ask about this again. Letâs just pretend that nothing happened.â
After he said this, he got up and left.
Silvia just looked at him. She hesitated for a few seconds before she rushed out and stopped him from getting into the car.
âChris only asked me out for dinner as thanks for saving his life the other day.â
Neilâs expression was cold. He looked her in the eyes and firmly said, âIf thatâs the only reason, why didnât you tell me on the phone that you were having dinner with him?â
His questioning gaze made Silvia subconsciously frown. âI was afraid that you would misunderstand. After all, youâve never liked him.â
âSo, I wouldnât misunderstand if you two got photographed by the paparazzi and hit the headlines?â
She remained silent for a moment and looked down. âIâm sorry.â
He did not say anything else and left in the car.
Silvia was slightly absent-minded the entire day at work. Dulcie noticed it, so she came to see her in her office after work.
âWhatâs wrong with you today? Youâve been absent-minded. Is it because you were filmed having dinner with Chris yesterday?â
Silvia sighed and said, âYes and no.â
Dulcie seemed confused. âWhy donât I understand what youâre saying?â
âI didnât tell Neil that I was going to have dinner with Chris last night. I didnât expect someone to film us and post the footage online.â
Dulcie was speechless.
âWhy did you hide this from Neil? If I were him, I would misunderstand too,â she said after some time.
âHe always thinks that Chris is interested in me, so he doesnât want me to come into contact with him. But I only treat Chris as a friend. I didnât tell Neil because I didnât want him to misunderstand.â
Dulcie stared at Silvia in disbelief. âYouâre so decisive and firm at work, but why are you so silly when it comes to relationships? If Neil secretly has dinner with Ada, would you be angry?â
Silvia gave her a troubled look and said, âItâs meaningless to dwell on this now. What should I do to quell his anger?â
âApologize to him and make him happy. You made the mistake, so youâll have to make it up to him.â
After Dulcie left, Silvia contemplated for a while and gave Neil a call.
He only answered after several calls, and his voice sounded extremely indifferent.
âWhat is it?â
âUm, when do you get off work? Iâll drop by.â
Neil responded coldly after a brief silence.
âI have to work overtime tonight. It could end late. If thereâs something youâd like to talk about, you can do it on the phone.â
âIâll go over and talk to you in person.â
She hung up immediately after and did not give him a chance to turn her down.
Half an hour later, she arrived downstairs. When she walked into Remus Corporationâs lobby, she saw Curtis standing at the reception.
Curtis noticed her as well, so he immediately walked forward. âMiss Pond, the president is in a meeting. He asked me to bring you upstairs.â
After Curtis brought her to Neilâs office, he got her a glass of water and carried on with his work.
By the time Neilâs meeting ended, Silvia had waited for more than two hours, and she felt extremely hungry.
