Chapter 187


    Silvia used to think that Neil was a germaphobe. However, she realized her error when she saw him


    eating a chicken wing that Abalene had served him. Inparison, he would always leave everything


    from Silvia untouched. He was not a germaphobe; he was just disgusted with her.


    Almost twenty minutester, Neil finally finished his meal.


    Silvia had already lost all patience. “Can you let me go now?”


    Only then did he release her hand.


    She was still irritated as she walked out of the office. She had to find a way to establish clear


    boundaries with Neil.


    Ryan spotted her and immediately walked up to her.

    “Miss Pond, did Neil give you a hard time?”


    Silvia feltforted when she saw his obvious concern. She shook her head and said, “No. I’m sorry


    for causing you some trouble too. I’ll treat you to dinner sometime.”


    Ryan smiled when he heard this. “Sure thing! Don’t you forget about it.”


    “Don’t worry. I won’t.”


    Out of Neil’s friends, Ryan was the only one who treated her with courtesy. Silvia could sense that


    Henry and David looked down on her even though they never expressed it outwardly. They probably


    thought of her as a homewrecker.


    Ryan wanted to chat more, but Neil’s cold voice interrupted him.


    “Aren’t you here to discuss business with me, Ryan? Why are you wasting time?”


    The atmosphere became unpleasant when Neil appeared.


    Silvia ignored him. Instead, she smiled and said to Ryan, “Mr. Anderson, I won’t take up any more of


    your time. Goodbye.”


    “Alright. Goodbye.”


    Neil continued to stare at Silvia. A hint of anger shed across his eyes when he noticed that she did


    not even spare him a nce.


    Once she entered the lift, he shifted his gaze to Ryan.


    “When did you get so close with Silvia?”


    Ryan did not bat an eyelid. “Back when you were injured, the few of us visited you quite often. That’s


    how we started to chat more often.”


    “Stay away from her!”


    Ryan frowned when he heard Neil’s threatening tone. “Neil, aren’t you already divorced? Can’t I


    interact with Miss Pond normally?”


    “We’re not divorced, and we’ll never get a divorce!”


    “But didn’t Miss Pond mention that you’ve received your divorce certificates?”


    Neil’s gaze became ruthless.


    “Ryan, this is between me and Silvia. You don’t have to worry about it!”


    After Ryan remained silent for a while, he said, “Alright. Let’s discuss that plot ofnd in East City,”


    Then, the two of them entered the office.


    On the way back to MY Corporation, Silvia fell into deep thought. She felt that she had to find herself a


    boyfriend so that Neil would stop harassing her.


    She was a doer, so she immediately called Dulcie over when she reached her office.


    “Dul, do you know any good men? Can you introduce some of them to me?”


    Dulcie was extremely shocked. She touched Silvia’s forehead and asked, “Are you having a fever?


    Why are you asking me about this?”


    Silvia pushed her hand away and spoke seriously, “I’m not kidding.”


    “I’m not kidding with you either. Now that you’ve divorced Neil, shouldn’t you be working extremely hard


    to reach the peak of your career? That way, you can show Neil and Ada how great you’re doing.”


    Silvia was speechless as she stared at Dulcie. “I do n to work hard, but I don’t want to interact with


    them anymore, much less prove them wrong.”


    “Are you feeling lonely?”


    “No, I need a man to pretend to be my boyfriend because Neil has been acting a little unusualtely.”


    A hint of curiosity shed across Dulcie’s eyes. She tilted her head and asked, “Is he pursuing you?”


    Based on the way he looked at Silvia, Dulcie was quite certain that he had some feelings for her. “Sort


    of. Do you know anyone?”


    “I do. But before I introduce them to you, we should settle another issue first.”


    Silvia was confused. “What issue?”
