Chapter 218
Silvia lowered her gaze before she nodded and said, “Alright.”
After Dulcie left, she gave Conrad a call.
Once she heard that the situation in Ten Miles Village was under control, she said, “Mr. Clark, there’s no need to rush the fabric production. You can begin once the flood has subsided.”
“Okay. Thank you, Miss Pond.”
After she hung
Silvia received a call from Neil.
“Let’s have lunch together.
Silvia pursed her l*ps. “Remus Corporation and MY Corporation are a little far apart, so I might not make it in time.”
“I’ll leave Remus Corporation half an hour early.”
“Mr. Remus, I haven’t made up my mind yet.
Neil chuckled and said in a low voice, “I just want to share a meal with you. I’m not trying to get an answer from you.”
“Alright. What do you want for lunch?”
“Shouldn’t I be asking you that?”
Silvia’s heart rate increased slightly when she detected the playful tone in his voice. “I’m fine with anything.”
“How about curry?”
She instinctively tightened her grip on her phone. “Mr. Remus, you don’t need to go out of your way for me. Just choose a restaurant, that works for both of us.”
After a brief pause, he softly said, “Alright.”
“I have some work to complete, so I’ll get back to it now.”
Once the call ended, Silvia touched her flushed face and subconsciously smiled.
She picked up a file and continued reading. She was able to concentrate at first, but her focus began to wane as noon approached.
Despite that, she managed to hold out until noon. When she checked her phone, Neil had already sent her the name and location of the restaurant.
After she reapplied her l*pstick in the bathroom, she bumped into Dulcie in the elevator.
Dulcie looked at her in surprise. “You’re heading out for lunch?”
“Yes.” She nodded.
“Alone?”
“No, I’m meeting someone.
Worried that Dulcie would press for more details, Silvia quickly said, “I just remembered that I

left something in the office. Go ahead. I’ll take the next elevator.”
“Alright.”
Dulcie looked at Silvia as she left in a hurry. Was she imagining things, or was Silvia acting strangely today?
After Silvia sat in her office for a few minutes and felt certain that Dulcie had left, she finally headed out.
By the time she arrived at the restaurant that Neil had selected, he was already waiting there.

He frowned as he noticed her scanning the area while she walked toward him. It was as thot she was checking for anyone familiar.
She only turned her attention to him when she sat across from him.
“Have you decided what to order?”
Neil handed her the menu. “No. You can have a look and choose whatever you like. I’ve booked the whole restaurant, so no one’s going to disturb us.”
Silvia breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. Then, she took the menu to see what to order.
His expression gradually darkened. After Silvia made her selection, he casually asked, “Are you worried that others might see us having a meal together?”
She was momentarily taken aback. “I’m just afraid that I might have to explain things if I run into someone I know. After all, we’re in an awkward situation,” she said.
Neil fell silent and appeared increasingly dissatisfied.
“Are you upset?”
“No.” Neil took a sip from his cup and replied impassively.
