Chapter 271
As Silvia was having drinks with her collaborator, Neil and Ada arrived at the cocktail party.
A hint of disgust flashed in Ada’s eyes when she saw Silvia, but she hid it and smiled instead.
“I didn’t expect to see Silvia here. Is she having drinks with her clients?”
Nell followed her gaze and saw Silvia in a red V–neck dress as well as delicate makeup. She was standing confidently among a few men, and her smile was so charming that it captivated all of
them.
He noticed several men sneaking glances at her, and it displeased him. It felt as if they were eyeing something precious to him.
Sensing his dissatisfaction, Ada softly said, “I didn’t realize she had such a tough job. She’s forced to drink with clients…
“Neil, should I get her a job at Perficient? She might not earn as much, but it’ll be better than being around men all the time and having them take advantage of her.” AS 500
soon as she said this, Neil glared at her.
“Ada, if I hear you speak ill of Silvia again, I’ll break my promise.”
Her face turned pale. She did not expect him to be so protective of Silvia.
Although she was frustrated and angry, she dared not show it. She understood all too well that he could take back everything he had given her at any time.
“Neil, I know I’m wrong, but it’s for her sake.”
“She doesn’t need your help!”
He then walked toward Silvia.
Ada wanted to call out to him but she was too afraid to do so. She just felt upset.
When she turned around to leave, she caught sight of Ryan standing nearby and looking at
Silvia.
A spark of surprise lit up her eyes, and she smiled.
Did Ryan like Silvia?
If that was the case, things just got interesting. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Meanwhile, Silvia was talking to her collaborator when she suddenly felt a cold gaze on her.
She turned her head slightly and frowned when she noticed Neil approaching her.
However, the collaborator was honored to see Neil.
“Mr. Remus.
Neil stood beside Silvia with a smile and said, “I’d like to have a few words with Miss Pond.
“Sure, Mr. Remus. Miss Pond, let’s continue our discussion at MY Corporation tomorrow.”
Silvia smiled and nodded. “Certainly.”
Once the collaborator left, Silvia’s expression instantly became unpleasant. She turned to leave.
However, Neil grabbed her wrist after she took a couple of steps.
“Miss Pond, you were all smiles with the collaborator earlier. Why are you so cold toward me?”
Silvia shook off his hand and responded with a stony face, “Mr. Remus, if I remember correctly, there’s no collaboration between MY Corporation and Remus Corporation. As such, there’s no need for us to talk.”
“How can that be? Remus Corporation is considering a collaboration with MY Corporation.” She frowned and replied coldly, “You should choose Perficient instead. MY Corporation isn’t capable of collaborating with Remus Corporation.”
“I believe you’re capable enough for this collaboration.”
Silvia ran out of patience and said, “Sorry, but I’m not interested.”
Neil cocked an eyebrow in surprise. “Fine, let’s set business aside and talk about something. else.”
However, she glared at him. “Do you have nothing better to do?”
“Nothing is more important than talking to you.”
“Spare me.”
She could not be bothered talking to him any longer. She hurried to the dessert area, grabbed a few small cakes, and found a quiet corner to eat them.
A while later, someone stood before her.
Silvia thought it was Neil, so she looked up with impatience. “Can you please stop bothering me?!”
When she realized that it was Ryan, she felt embarrassed.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Anderson. I didn’t know it was you.”
“Silvia, are you MY Corporation’s president?”
