Chapter 1268


    Mrs. Turner was the one who prepared Silvia''s breakfast. It was pancakes, which tasted rather


    sweet. After just a few mouthfuls, Silvia was cloyed with the sweetness. However, she pretended to


    enjoy it and finished the entire te. Then, she told Mrs. Turner, "Mom, I''m not going to schoolter.


    I''ll stay home to keep youpany today."


    The winter break was just around the corner. Silvia had attended most of the sses that she had


    to, so it was fine to be absent for a day. Besides, she used to skip sses, and no one would ever


    care if she was present.


    "It''s snowing heavily outside. I will be worried if you were to go out. It would be better if you stay at


    home." Mrs. Turner was happy to have Silvia at home with her. She prepared some of Silvia''s


    favorite snacks and said, "Silvia, why don''t you invite Audrey, Reagan and Lemur over to the


    house? It will liven up the house with them around."


    "Sure, that would be fun." Silvia hadn''t seen Audrey for a few days now, so she did not know how


    Audrey was doing recently. Silvia thought that she could invite her over and catch up with her a little.


    Silvia called Audrey first. "Audrey, are you at work?"


    Audrey rolled her eyes and answered, "Are you checking up on me, Director Turner? I really have to


    tell you this. The government had dered that all employee were to go on a leave due to the


    heavy blizzard. Don''t think that I''m just loafing about and not going to work, okay?"


    Silvia said, "That''s right, I''m calling check up on you. Since you''re not at work, I think I''ll have to


    deduct your uing bonus then. And oh, I should deduct your sry too..."


    Audrey interrupted Silvia. "If you dare say another word about deducting my sry, believe it or not,


    I''ll quit now."


    Silvia smiled and said, "Please don''t, Audrey. Wateria Corporation can''t go on without you. Many


    people will be out of a job too if you were to leave thepany."


    "Silvia, you''re trying to piss me off, aren''t you?" said Audrey.


    After messing around with Audrey, Silvia said in a solemn tone, "It''s snowing heavily today. Since


    you have nothing to do at home, why don''t youe to my house and we can have cheese fondue


    together? Having cheese fondue on a snowy day is the best feeling ever."


    Audrey touched her belly and said, "I''m on a diet."


    Silvia said, "So you''re really noting?"


    Audrey said, "Can''t you just persuade me for a little longer?"


    Silvia said, "Oh my pretty Audrey, I beg you, we can''t eat without you."


    Audrey said, "Oh my beloved friend, I''ll be right there, okay? Wait for me, I''ll show up before you in


    half an hour."


    Silvia said, "Okay, I''m going to the supermarket just down the street to get the ingredients. Call me


    when you''re nearby and we can go home together."


    Audrey nodded in agreement.


    Next, Silvia called Reagan and Lemur on the phone. Silvia called Reagan but it was Lemur who


    answered the phone. "What''s the matter, Boss?"


    Silvia said, "Lemur, I''m having cheese fondue at my ce. Come with Reagan."


    Coincidentally, Reagan and Lemur had just received the news that all the sses that day were


    cancelled. They were about to give Silvia a call too.


    Lemur stammered, "Boss, we can''t go."


    Silvia grew up with Reagan and Lemur. When she heard Lemur speaking hesitantly, she


    immediately knew that something was going on. "What are you guys hiding from me?"


    Lemur replied, "Nothing."


    Silvia raised her eyebrows. "Nothing?"


    Lemur hesitated for a few moments and finally said, "Boss, Reagan got a phone call this morning.


    We''re invited to go skiing in the east and ice fishing at the river..."


    Ice skating in the east and ice fishing at the river... These were the activities that they would do


    every year after the first snow.


    Silvia was so excited that her fingers were slightly trembling. "Is it... Is it..."


    Lemur added, "Boss, we''re not sure if it was really Felix who called us... Should we go then?"


    Silvia gritted her teeth and said, "Of course we should. I''ll go with you guys."


    It had always been inconvenient for Felix to meet Silvia. He was afraid that those who were hiding


    in the dark would hurt her, so he could only think of this way to meet them. This was the only way


    that his enemies would be less likely to discover them.


    Lemur said, "Reagan and I will wait for you at the guardhouse then."


    "Okay." Silvia tidied herself up and put on her snow boots and down jacket. "Mom, I need to go out


    for a bit.."


    Mrs. Turner poked her head out of the kitchen and shouted. "Silvia, did you manage to contact


    Audrey and the rest? I need to know how much food I should prepare."


    "Mom, Audrey will probably be here soon. Just let her in and I''ll be back with the ingredientster."


    Silvia hurriedly left the house to meet up with Reagan and Lemur. However, just as she had arrived


    at the guardhouse, Silvia happened to bump into Audrey.


    When Audrey saw that Silvia was in an anxious state, she immediately grabbed Silvia and asked,


    "Where are you going?"


    "I..." Silvia was in a hurry, so she wanted to brush Audrey''s hand off but Audrey was holding her


    hand too tightly. "Audrey, you can go to my house first. I''ll be back in a bit."


    "I said, where are you going?" Audrey was sure that something had happened to Silvia. Silvia could


    never hide things from anyone. Audrey could easily tell that something had happened just by


    studying the look on her face.

    "I need to go out." Silvia became even more anxious. "Let go of me first."


    Audrey said again, "Didn''t you check the


    weather forecast? Don''t you know that there will be a blizzardter?" "I''ll be back real soon, okay?"


    Regardless of the weather, Silvia had already made up her mind that she would go. What if it was


    really Felix who had given Lemur the phone call? She would not be able to feel at ease for the rest


    of her life if she happened to miss the chance to meet him.


    "Where are you going?" Audrey refused to let go of Silvia. "If you really must go, I''ll go with you."


    "You don''t have toe with me." It would be worse to get more people involved in this matter. Not


    to mention Audrey, who did not know Felix at all. Silvia must not let Audrey get into this mess and


    expose her to danger.


    At this time, Reagan and Lemur, who lived nearby, had also arrived. When Audrey saw them, she


    thought that her savior hade. However, the two of them spoke for Silvia. "Audrey, could you


    please keep Mrs. Turnerpany first? We will be back very soon."


    Audrey said with concern, "Tell me, Reagan. Where exactly are you guys heading to?"


    "Audrey, we really can''t tell you." Reagan was willing to tell Audrey about anything else, but this


    matter was rted to Felix''s life and death, so he could not speak carelessly.


    "Are you sure that you have to go?" asked Audrey.


    Silvia nodded. "Yes."


    "I''ll go with you guys then," said Audrey. "Else, no one is allowed to leave."


    Audrey was a stubborn person. Silvia was in a hurry and she did not want to waste any more time


    arguing with Audrey, so she nodded and let Audreye along with them.
