Chapter 341


    “Silvia, you asked me to stay away from Ada, but what about you and Chris?”


    Silvia frowned. “This is different. Nothing will happen between me and Chris.”


    Neil sneered immediately after she spoke.


    “So, you don’t trust me, but you’re asking me to trust you?”


    “That’s not what I mean. I-”


    Before she could finish, Neil cut her off.


    “Don’t bother exining. I won’t ask about this again. Let’s just pretend that nothing happened.”


    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.


    “Chris only asked me out for dinner as thanks for saving his life the other day.”


    Neil’s expression was cold. He looked her in the eyes and firmly said, “If that’s the only reason, why


    didn’t you tell me on the phone that you were having dinner with him?”


    His questioning gaze made Silvia subconsciously frown. “I was afraid that you would misunderstand.


    After all, you’ve never liked him.”


    “So, I wouldn’t misunderstand if you two got photographed by the paparazzi and hit the headlines?”


    She remained silent for a moment and looked down. “I’m sorry.”


    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 s her in her


    office after work.


    “What’s wrong with you today? You’ve been absent–minded. Is it because you were filmed having


    dinner with Chris yesterday?”


    Silvia sighed and said, “Yes and no.”

    Dulcie seemed confused. “Why don’t I understand what you’re saying?”


    “I didn’t tell Neil that I was going to have dinner with Chrisst night. I didn’t expect someone to film us


    and post the footage online.”


    Dulcie was speechless.

    “Why did you hide this from Neil? If I were him, I would misunderstand too,” she said after


    some time.


    “He always thinks that Chris is interested in me, so he doesn’t want me toe into contact with him.


    But I only treat Chris as a friend. I didn’t tell Neil because I didn’t want him to misunderstand.”


    Dulcie stared at Silvia in disbelief. “You’re so decisive and firm at work, but why are you so silly when it


    comes to rtionships? If Neil secretly has dinner with Ada, would you be angry?”


    Silvia gave her a troubled look and said, “It’s meaningless to dwell on this now. What should I do to


    quell his anger?”


    “Apologize to him and make him happy. You made the mistake, so you’ll have to make it up to him.”


    After Dulcie left, Silvia contemted for a while and gave Neil a call.


    He only


    y answered after several calls, and his voice sounded extremely indifferent.


    “What is it?”


    “Um, when do you get off work? I’ll drop by.”


    Neil responded coldly after a brief silence.


    “I have to work overtime tonight. It could endte. If there’s something you’d like to talk about, you can


    do it on the phone.”


    “I’ll go over and talk to you in person.”


    She hung up immediately after and did not give him a chance to turn her down.


    Half an hourter, she arrived downstairs. When she walked into Remus Corporation’s lobby, she saw


    Curtis standing at the reception.


    Curtis noticed her as well, so he immediately walked forward. “Miss Pond, the president is in a meeting.


    He asked me to bring you upstairs.


    After Curtis brought her to Neil’s office, he got her a ss of water and carried on with his work.


    By the time Neil’s meeting ended, Silvia had waited for more than two hours, and she felt extremely


    hungry.


    When he pushed open the door and saw her on the couch, he stopped in his tracks. Then, he sat


    across from her and asked indifferently, “What would you like to talk about?”
