Around noon, Joe knocked on her office door and walked in.
âMiss Pond, Mr. Anderson would like to invite you to lunch.â
Since Silvia had no plans for lunch, she nodded and said, âOkay, send me the location later.â
At 12:30 p.m., Silvia entered a French restaurant near MY Corporation. Seeing that Ryan was already waiting for her at the table, she felt a bit embarrassed.
Ryan had chosen a restaurant close to MY Corporation, but she still arrived late.
âSorry, there was a last-minute meeting. You must have been waiting for a while,â Silvia apologized guiltily as she sat across from him.
Ryan poured her a glass of water and spoke with a smile, âNo worries. I just got here.â
âMr. Anderson, why did you suddenly invite me to lunch? Is something wrong with our collaboration?â
Ryan was momentarily stunned before he said with resignation, âCanât I invite you out for something other than work?â
Silvia took a sip from her glass and seemed surprised. âIs it for a personal reason?â
Ryan nodded and earnestly said, âI want to pursue you.â
âPfft!â
Silvia was so surprised that she did a spit take.
After she realized what she had done, she quickly handed him a tissue. âMr. Anderson, Iâm sorry. It was an accident.â
Ryanâs words were shocking. She was Neilâs ex-wife, and he was good friends with him. The idea of him pursuing her seemed unbelievable to Silvia.
Ryan wiped his face with the tissue and looked at Silvia. âIâm serious.â
She frowned. âMr. Anderson, you and Mr. Remus are good friends, so Iâve never thought of you as a potential partner.â
When Ryan previously took care of her in Dewland, she had already sensed his feelings for her. They did not talk about it then, and she did not expect him to suddenly confess at this moment.
âIf you reject me just because Iâm a good friend of his, donât you think itâs unfair to me?â
Mr. Remus, Your Billionaire Wife Wants a Divorce ï¤Chapter 576 Silvia remained quiet for a moment. Then, she looked at him and said, âMr. Anderson, I appreciate your feelings for me, but I donât think Iâm the right match for you. Youâll find someone better.â
âI donât want someone better. To me, youâre the best.â
His words were sincere, and his eyes were filled with undisguised affection.
She gradually tightened her grip on her glass. After a brief silence, she looked at Ryan and asked, âWhat do you like about me?â
Ryan was caught off guard by the question.
âI donât know. When I saw you taking such good care of Neil in the past, I thought Iâd want a wife like you one day. But I gradually found myself drawn to you. The fact that you were Neilâs wife made me suffer. I visited him frequently, but it was just an excuse to see youââ
âEnough!â
Silviaâs expression turned cold. âMr. Anderson, there are many women in Ryoln City who are gentler and more beautiful than me. You should pursue someone else! I wonât fall for you!â
After that, she stood up to leave. Just as she turned around, she saw Neil approaching them with a stern expression.
She subconsciously frowned. She was about to speak when Neil walked past her and punched Ryan.
The two soon started fighting in the restaurant. The other diners quickly put down their utensils and fled. They were afraid of getting involved.
Silvia only watched them for a moment before she left.
She was not in the mood to break up the fight. It was not her concern either.
Just as she exited the restaurant, Neil caught up to her.
âSil, donât go!â
