Chapter 219
Sensing Neil’s displeasure, Silvia initially thought about saying something to ease the tension. However, she reminded herself that she had not decided to give their relationship another. chance yet. Therefore, she lowered her gaze and remained silent.
Since they were the only ones in the whole restaurant, the waiter soon served their food.
Although Neil was upset with Silvia’s reluctance to let others see them dining together, he still initiated conversations with her during their meal.
“By the way, what business did you have in Ten Miles Village?”
She swallowed her food and nonchalantly replied, “MY Corporation plans to collaborate with the textile factory there, so they sent me to take a look.”
“Didn’t you previously mention that you were a cleaner? Do cleaners in your company need to carry out such tasks as well?”
Silvia was speechless.
After a brief pause, she looked at Neil and asked, “Do you really believe I’m just a cleaner?”
“Obviously not. So, what exactly is your role in MY Corporation?”
She took a sip of her soup and gazed at Neil calmly. “I’m sure you’ve done some digging on what I do at MY Corporation, right?”
After she returned to MY Corporation, she asked Dulcie to create a fake employment record for her. If anyone checked with the HR Department, they would only discover this false information.
Neil frowned. “You don’t trust me at all?”
Since he knew that she did not like him looking into her affairs, he stopped asking Curtis to do any snooping in that regard. However, he would occasionally ask Curtis to ch*ck her whereabouts.
Noticing the displeasure in his eyes, Silvia subconsciously tightened her grip on her spoon and softly said, “Sorry for misunderstanding you.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t pry into things that you don’t want to share with me in the future. After all, everyone has secrets.”
Neil was the same. There were things that he could not reveal to Silvia as well.
She felt that he had changed alot. He would previously be indifferent to others‘ feelings, but he had started to care about her emotions.
She smiled at the thought and said, “I’m just an ordinary employee at MY Corporation. My role is similar to that of a secretary. I guess you can think of me as an assistant.”
Neil knew that Silvia never completed her high school education, so such a job was within her capabilities.
He recalled the criticism that she had frequently faced because she did not have a high school diploma. His expression turned serious, and he asked, “Have you ever thought about finishing

high school? It’s not too late to pursue a college education at your current age.‘
Surprise briefly flickered in her eyes, but she quickly shook her head and replied, “No. A college degree wouldn’t benefit me much.”
Besides, she had earned a doctorate before the Pond Family looked for her.
Back then, Forrest had advised her to blend in with regular people, so she agreed to attend. high school when Idris and Mindy persuaded her to enroll.
However, she did not continue her studies after that incident.
Neil frowned. “Do you plan to live your entire life with just a junior high school diploma?”
Although he did not mind it, he did not want others to look down on her.
“I don’t think getting a college degree will make any difference in my life.”
“At least when people talk about you, they won’t say that you didn’t finish high school.”
Silvia fell silent, and her gaze became indifferent.
“Mr. Remus, I think you’ve misunderstood something.”
“What do you mean?

“Let’s not forget that I haven’t agreed to reconcile with you. Even if I have, you have no right to ask me to change.
“If you dislike being with someone who only holds a junior high school diploma, you can find a woman with a college degree. Besides, if I agree to retake the college entrance exam to gain your approval, will you expect more of me in the future? Must I continue to change?”
Displeasure flashed in Neil’s eyes, and he said in a low voice, “I’m doing this for your own good.”
“I don’t need you to do anything. I know what I want.”
He stopped talking, and they finished their meal in silence.
After lunch, she declined his offer to drive her back to the company. She bade him farewell and left on her own.
Unexpectedly, she ran into Melanie, who had come to find her, at the company’s entrance. “Silvia, let’s ta
