“nche.”
Silvia was taken aback, but sheughed soon after. “You have a good eye. However, I n to groom
nche into a design director. Can you choose someone else?”
“No. She’s the only one I want. Besides, I’m not nning to make her my subordinate. I just really like
some of her designs, so I want to coborate with her on next season’s items.”
After hesitating for a few seconds, Silvia nodded and said, “Alright, but I can only let her work. with you
for a while. Once you’re done with the designs for the next season, she’ll return to the Design
Department.”
“Alright.”
“By the way, there’s a design exhibition tonight that’s showcasing the work of several foreign designers.
I was nning on bringing you and nche along. Are you free tonight?”
Rita’s eyes lit up, and she immediately said, “Yes! I’ll make time even if I’m not free.”
“Okay. You can inform nche about it too. I’ll send you a text after work. We’ll depart directly from the
company.”
They parted ways, and Silvia approached the elevator that was dedicated for the management staff. As
she was about to step in, she received a phone call from Neil.
“The test results for the chicken soup are out.”
Silvia stopped in her tracks as she whispered, “So, is there anything wrong with it?”
After a few seconds, Neil answered, “No, it’s normal.‘
She frowned in response. She trusted her taste buds, but the results had to be correct.
“Maybe there’s something wrong with my taste buds. I’ll try the soup again when I visit Abalene.”
“Alright. I have a meeting soon. I’ll talk to youter.”
After the call ended, she sent him a text message. In it, she asked him to send her the test
report.
Soon, Neil sent her a picture.
She erged it and saw that the contents of the chicken soup were indeed normal. Was there really
something wrong with her taste buds?
Over at theb in Imperial City, an examiner took out his cell phone and dialed a series of numbers.
“Mr. Remus, I’ve followed your instructions and manipted the report. When are you going to pay
me?” he whispered.
“I’ll pay you by today. Don’t ever contact me again.”
Liam hung up immediately after.
He took out his SIM card and threw it into the bin. Then, he used another cell phone to make a call.

“I’m about to send you an ount number. I need your help to bank one million dors into this
ount.
Once that was done, he smiled coldly.
Neil and Silvia had no idea that he had a nt in Harmony Yard. He knew their every move the
moment they entered the ce.
Soon, it was night time. Silvia drove Rita and nche to the design exhibition.
They bumped into Neil and Curtis at the entrance.
Silvia cocked an eyebrow in surprise and asked, “Mr. Remus, as I recall, yourpany’s focusing on
renewable energy. What brings you to this design exhibition?”
“There are a few fashionpanies under Remus Corporation. Plus, the organizer of this exhibition
extended an invitation to us. Since I have nothing else going on tonight, I thought that I coulde
over and have a look.”
Silvia nodded. “I brought my designers here for some exposure. We’ll see you inside.”
Just then, Neil nonchntly said, “Ms. Pond, allow my secretary to bring them around. There’s an issue
with our previous agreement. Since I’ve bumped into you, why don’t we discuss it?”

She secretly rolled her eyes. They had already signed the agreement. What issue could there be? Rita
and nche were aware of Silvia and Neil’s rtionship. They smiled knowingly and said, “Ms. Pond,
you don’t have to worry about us. We can tour the ce on our own.”
After that, they went inside without waiting for Silvia’s response.
She was speechless.
Neil then grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the end of a quiet corridor. He lowered his head and
looked at her with delight.
