Chapter 176
“Silvia, I haven’t told you what it’s about.”
Silvia pursed her l*ps slightly and said, “Whatever it is, I won’t be able to help. Mr. Cooper, please look for someone else.”
With her divorce from Neil, she had no plans to interact with his social circle anymore.
The two ladies then walked into the mansion. After they closed the door, Isla finally started to complain.
“David Cooper is like a Band–Aid. He’s incredibly annoying! He approached me several times today and tried to convince me to be the spokesperson for his company’s new product! Unfortunately, I can’t afford to offend him. Otherwise, I would’ve kicked him to the curb!”
When Silvia heard Isla describe David as a Band–Aid, she chuckled.
David was quite good looking, and he would always be with a new girl. He even claimed that he would never get attached to any woman. Silvia wondered how he would feel if he knew how much Isla hated him.
“Filming a commercial doesn’t take a long time. Why don’t you take the money? Consider it an additional retirement fund.”
Isla had a conflicted look. “Do you know what his company’s new product is?”
“What is it?”
“Condoms.”
Silvia spat out the water in her mouth. She stared at Isla in disbelief and said, “Is there something wrong with his brain?”
“If I wasn’t afraid of him investing in my future films again, I would’ve given him two hundred dollars to ch*ck his brain in the Psychiatric Department.”
They had dinner after they chatted for a while. Isla’s mother was a chef, so Isla was a pretty good cook. In comparison, Silvia’s cooking was only passable,
Silvia ate two plates of pasta. After she cleaned up the plates and stored them in the
dishwasher, she lay down on the couch.
Isla came over and pulled her up. “Don’t lie down right after dinner. We need to go out for a walk. Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
By the time they walked out of the mansion, David had already left.
They walked along the road surrounding the mansion and returned after 8 p.m.
Silvia went upstairs and took a shower. Then, she got ready to do some work. As she entered the study, she received a text message from Neil.
[I’ll pick you up tomorrow.]
His message came out of nowhere and made her frown.
Chapter 17
She did not remember having anything that required a meeting with him. Therefore, she ignored the message and carried on with her work.
At this time, a few people were playing cards in VIP Private Room 8888. It was located in Ryoln City’s biggest nightclub, but Neil and David were clearly absent–minded.
After Ryan won several times, he pushed the cards away and said, “I’m not playing anymore. None of you seem interested. I don’t feel accomplished even if I win.”
Neil took his phone and got up. “I’m going out to smoke a cigarette.”
Ryan glanced at him before he teased, “You’ve been looking at your phone for more than twenty times. Are you waiting for a message from Ada?”
“No,” Neil said indifferently.
After he stepped out of the private room, he walked to the end of the corridor and opened his WhatsApp. Silvia had not replied to the message that he had sent an hour ago.
He subconsciously felt annoyed. He suddenly regretted letting her leave so easily.
Ever since he moved out from Remus Mansion, he had not been sleeping well. He was not used to her absence in the morning, and he was also not used to coming home to a dark home after
work.
“What is it?”
When Silvia’s indifferent voice came from the phone, Neil realized that he had called her at some point.
Not getting an answer from him, Silvia frowned. “I’m hanging up.
Just as she was about to end the call, Neil spoke coldly.
“Didn’t you see the message that I sent you?”
After two seconds, she answered, “I saw it.”
“Why didn’t you reply?”
“I thought you sent it to the wrong person.
