Chapter 232
Neil turned around and looked at her. “What do you plan to do about this?”
Silvia remained silent for a few moments before she said, “I’m going to pretend as if nothing happened just like I did the last time.”
A hint of displeasure flashed across Neil’s eyes when he heard this. He stared at her and said, Silvia, I’m a businessman. I’m not looking to make a loss. Besides, I’ve helped you twice.”
“What do you want?”
“Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to take responsibility. However, I feel that we’re S*xually compatible, so I’d like to continue this long term,” he nonchalantly said when she put her guard up.
Silvia was a little surprised. “What do you mean?” she asked with a frown.
“How about we maintain a strictly physical relationship?”
“Sorry, I won’t agree to that!” she said sternly.
“Why?”
Silvia sneered when she recalled what Ada had sent her before. “Mr. Remus, if you need to take care of your S*xual needs, I believe Ada would be more than happy to help you.”
Neil’s eyes turned cold as he stared at Silvia.
“I’m not interested in anyone else. Besides, both of us had a good time when we did it, didn’t We?”
Silvia fell silent for a while before she responded with a frown, “We’re divorced. Aren’t you. preparing to marry Ada?”
“I’m not marrying her, and I’ll be in a relationship with her.”
However, Silvia’s frown deepened even after she heard his guarantee.
“Let me consider.”
To be honest, Neil was extremely good in bed, so Silvia did not feel like she was on the losing end.
If another man had asked her the same thing, she probably would have agreed by now. However, they were exes. She did not want to be involved with him again.
As though Neil could see her concerns, he calmly said, “Don’t worry. I won’t use this to marry you again. If either of us falls in love or gets together with someone else, we can end this relationship immediately. I won’t ask you for anything else.”
“Are you really not going to be with Ada?”
Neil furrowed his brows and said, “I’ve told you that we haven’t been together ever since her return.”
Silvia did not probe any further. She nodded and said, “Alright, I agree with this arrangement. However, you can’t stop me from interacting with other men.”
2/2
If Neil tried to get involved in her love life, it would lead to a sticky situation. She wanted to take this opportunity to stop him from stepping over her boundaries. If there were times that she did not want to sleep with him, he could not force her to go through with it.
His gaze grew darker, and he said, “Alright.”
After they reached an agreement, she stood up and said, “I have things to do, so I’ll make a
move.”
“Sure thing.”
Silvia then took her cell phone and left.
When she stepped out of the lounge, she noticed that she had a few missed calls from the design competition’s staff.
She called back and heard the staff’s anxious voice through the phone.
“Miss Elia, where are you? Everyone online is talking about your sudden disappearance! When are you coming back?”
Confusion crossed her eyes, and she replied, “I’m going back now.”
She went on social media after she ended the call, and #Elia’s Disappearance# was the number one trending topic. She clicked on it and realized that everyone was discussing her whereabouts because she had suddenly stopped commenting on the designs.
She exited the social media page and quickly walked back to the judges‘ room. She apologized to the staff members and returned to her room to resume her work.
Meanwhile, Neil sat on the couch in his lounge and took a sip of wine. There was an intense look in his eyes.
His phone rang all of a sudden.
“Mr. Remus, all evidence has been wiped out.”
“Alright. Bring Ada to me.”
Ada had just walked out of the competition venue after completing her design. That was when Curtis approached her and said, “Miss Pond, Mr. Remus wants to see you.”
“Neil’s here?”
There was a hint of surprise and disbelief in her eyes. It seemed that Neil did like her despite his hostile attitude. Otherwise, he would not have come to see her.
She suppressed her excitement as she approached his lounge. When she saw him, she happily said, “Neil, I got a really high score for my design today. I’m sure I’ll make it to the next round!”
Neil did not respond. Instead, he gestured at Curtis to leave with a cold expression
