Silvia was speechless.
Should she blame herself for his lack of control?
“I don’t want this to happen again!”
She wrapped his arm in gauze before she spoke indifferently, “Thank you for helping me today. I’ll treat you to a meal next time.”
Neil raised his eyebrows in disbelief and extended his bandaged arm toward her. “I’m injured, but you’re only going to treat me to one meal?”
“What do you want then?”
“This injury is going to affect my work. You’ll have to compensate me.”
Silvia remained silent for a few seconds before she nodded and asked, “Okay. How much do you want?”
Neil’s expression turned cold, and it sounded like he was gritting his teeth. “Do you think I don’t have enough money?”
“Won’t you lose money if you can’t work?”
When Neil saw how straightforward she was, he frowned and said, “I don’t want money. Before I recover, move to Remus Mansion and take care of me.”
Silvia frowned. “I’ll have to deny your request, but I can hire a nurse for you.
“Silvia!”
Π
She seemed unconcerned as she looked at him and said, “Mr. Remus, I don’t want to be involved with you. I want to start over, so I hope you can stop disturbing me.”
She had truly given up on him.
His expression instantly darkened. “Start over?”
Silvia nodded. “Yes.”
She was going to be in a new relationship, but her phone rang before she could reveal it.
When she saw Abalene’s name on the phone’s screen, she recalled her promise to have dinner in Harmony Yard.
She immediately answered the call and spoke guiltily, “Sorry, Madam Remus. Something happened on my side. I’ll go there right away.
Abalene’s voice was gentle. “Okay. You don’t have to rush. I just wanted to know where you are. Be careful when you’re on the way.”
“Okay.”
Silvia kept her phone before she looked at Neil.
“Madam Remus asked me to have dinner in Harmony Yard. We can go together if you have the time.”
“Okay.”
After Neil got into the car, he casually asked, “Since you’re working in MY Corporation, have you seen the founder, Anna?”
Silvia subconsciously clenched her fists, but she responded with a calm expression, “I’m just an employee. How could I possibly meet our big boss? Why are you asking about her all of a sudden?”
Neil wore a meaningful gaze and slowly said, “I just find her pretty awesome. Her employee got involved in plagiarism, and she managed to find out that Perficient was the mastermind behind it.”
She looked down and calmly said, “She’s truly awesome.”
“As an employee of MY Corporation, aren’t you curious about the kind of person the president is?”
Seeing his attempt to sound her out, she replied with a straight face, “What are you getting at, Mr. Remus?”
“I’m just making conversation.”
“I couldn’t care less. I just want to get my work done. The president’s personality has nothing to do with me.”
Neil’s gaze turned gloomy, and he did not continue the subject.
The two of them remained silent all the way to Harmony Yard. When they got out of the car, Neil suddenly held her hand.
When Silvia tried to move out of his grasp, he spoke softly in a deep voice.
“Do you want Grandma to know about the divorce?”
Silvia pondered for a few seconds before she coldly said, “We’ve never held hands in Harmony Yard before. It would seem strange to be holding hands now, wouldn’t it?”
