dinner.
Chapter 267
“We’ll stay here tonight. I’ll bring you fishing tomorrow.”
Silvia frowned. She was not interested in fishing, and she planned to have some good sleep during the weekend.
“I just want to stay at home on the weekend. I don’t want to go out.”
“Sure, I’ll let the servants prepare some barbeque. We’ll just rest and watch some movies in the mansion.”
Silvia vaguely felt that Neil was planning to date her. The thought alarmed her. She looked at Neil and said, “Mr. Remus, I want to go home.”
“This is your home.”
“This is your home, not mine.”
“If you want, I can transfer it to you now.”
Silvia remained silent for a few seconds before she felt slightly helpless. “Mr. Remus, you don’t have to play dumb. You should understand what I mean.”
Neil firmly stared at her. “Compared to Mr. Remus, I prefer what you call me in bed.”
Silvia was not getting anywhere with him. Everytime she wanted to talk about their relationship, Neil always changed the subject.
When Neil saw that she did not speak again, he walked to her and held her hands.
“I heard from Dulcie that you’ve been exhausted from work recently, so I want to bring you out to relax during this weekend.
“The migration of the luminous jellyfishes will pass by this area of the sea tomorrow night. If you really don’t want to stay here, I’ll send you back after we see the jellyfishes tomorrow night.”
When Silvia saw his black eyes, her heart started racing.
She immediately moved out of his grasp, looked down, and said, “I hope you’ll keep your promise.”
“Sure. I’ll go to work first. You can hang around here on your own.”
Because Silvia slept for a while in the car, she was very good–spirited now. She just found a movie, sat on the couch, and watched.
When Neil finished his work and came back, he saw Silvia crouched in the corner of the couch while trembling. On the screen, a female ghost was just crawling out from a well…
When the scene frightened Silvia so much that she nearly screamed, a hand was extended from her back and covered her eyes.
“Ah!”
Silvia thought it was a ghost. She subconsciously grabbed his hand, threw him over her

shoulders, and threw him to the floor.
After she immediately saw that the person on the floor was Neil, her face shone with awkwardness.
Neil’s expression darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, “Why don’t you help me up
now?”
After Silvia helped him sit down on the couch, she unhappily said, “Why didn’t you make a sound?”
“You’re afraid of ghosts, yet you still watched a horror movie?”
Silvia was speechless.
“You don’t understand. This is the pursuit of excitement. Besides, if your hand did not suddenly appear, I wouldn’t have been frightened!”
Neil chuckled, and he directly exposed her. “I wonder who was the one who crouched in the corner of the couch in fear.”
“Who said I was…”
Before she said the word “scared“, the corner of her eyes saw that the ghost face rushed toward the screen. Silvia was so scared that she screamed and jumped into Neil’s arms.
Neil grabbed her waist and chuckled softly. “Oh? Didn’t you say you’re not scared?”
Silvia immediately grabbed the remote control and stopped the movie. She got up, sat on the side as if nothing happened, and said, “That was just an accident.”
“Yeah, an accident.”
When she saw him fighting back his laughter, she knew that he was amused.
Silvia glared at him. “I’m not talking to you anymore. I want to go upstairs and sleep!”
When she passed by Neil, he suddenly pulled her into his arms and instantly k*ssed her with his cold, thin lips.
Silvia was momentarily stunned before she held his shoulders and k*ssed him back.
When the k*ss ended, they both gasped heavily. Neil lifted her up and walked toward the bedroom.
When she woke up again, it was near noon.
She took up her phone. When she saw a message sent by Dulcie on her Whatsapp, her expression changed.
Silvia immediately replied a few messages to Dulcie before she changed the clothes that were prepared in the closet. After she got ready, she went downstairs.
Neil was sitting in the courtyard while reading some documents. Besides him, there were food and barbeque stands that were prepared by the servants.
When he saw Silvia, he chuckled and put down the documents.
“You’ve woken up. We’ll have a barbeque at noon.”
Silvia’s expression was indifferent. “No, I’m going back now.”
Neil frowned. “At least you should have lunch first.”
“No need. It’ll be late after lunch.”
“What do you mean?”
Silvia sneered. “Mr. Remus, do you still need to play dumb? Didn’t you want Ada to steal all the marketers whom I’ve dealt with previously during the weekend when you purposely brought me here?”
Chapter 268
Neil’s gaze turned cold. “What do you mean? Do you think I brought you here just to help Ada?”
Silvia’s expression was cold.
whom I was dealing with that so? Ada already signed contracts with the marketers
whom i was dealing with. If you didn’t help her, she wouldn’t have found those marketers precisely!”
Neil’s expression was tense, and his eyes were full of anger. “Do you really not trust me?”
“We never once had trust!”
After Silvia said that, she turned around and left.
After she waited on the road for half an hour, Dulcie’s car stopped at the roadside.
Silvia pulled open the car door situation now?”
got into the car, and asked with a cold expression, “What’s the
“Almost all the marketers whom you previously dealt with have signed a contract with Ada. Oh yeah, there’s something else. You’d better be mentally prepared.”
“Okay, tell me.”
Dulcie pursed her lips and slowly spoke, “I heard that Neil transferred Perficient to Ada’s name a week ago, so the person who asked Mr. Cole out that day was actually Ada. Neil just went over to support her.”
Silvia looked down, and she subconsciously clenched her fists.
It turned out that they started from that time.
When Dulcie saw that Silvia remained silent, she whispered, “Silvia, it’s not your fault. After all, nob*dy expected that Neil would give one of his companies to Ada.”
“Neil’s initial target should be MY Corporation, but I suddenly came back. It was only because he did not successfully acquire MY Corporation that he had to give Perficient to Ada.”
Dulcie could not help but curse. “Luckily you’re back, or if Ada became the president of MY Corporation, I would’ve been disgusted!!
Silvia tiredly closed her eyes, and she said, “Send me back to Elm Bay first. Since the marketers already signed the contract with Ada, we should just give up and look for new marketers. again.”
When Dulcie saw Silvia being like this, she was at a loss.
“Okay, I got it.”
When Silvia went back to the mansion and was about to get out of the car, Dulcie suddenly asked.
“Do you want me to accompany you?”
“No need. I want to calm down by myself.”
“Okay, just call me if anything happens.”

“Okay”
After Silvia watched Dulcie’s car leave, she turned around and walked into the mansion.
Soon, Neil came to her.
Silvia opened the door for him. She indifferently said, “Please come inside.”
When Neil saw her calm expression, he instantly felt flustered.
“I can explain about Ada.”
“What do you want to explain? To explain that you wanted to purchase MY Corporation for Ada or to explain that you helped Ada suppress MY Corporation? Actually… you’ve known that I’m the president of MY Corporation for a long time, right?”
Neil’s expression became stiff. He frowned and said, “I just suspected, but I didn’t have the solid proof.”
“This is not important anymore. Anyway, Ada already stole the clients whom I was dealing with recently. You can also drop the act.”
Her collaborators were stolen from her because she lacked ability, so she did not blame anyone. What she could not let go of was that she had a crush on Neil during this period.
He was just playing a game with her, but she was stupid enough to take it seriously.
“I’m not acting! If I really act, why would I risk my life to go to Greenvale and search for you?”
Silvia subconsciously held the doorknob tightly before she chuckled and said, “Why would I know? Mr. Remus, if there’s nothing else, please leave.”
When she was about to close the door, Neil suddenly stretched out an arm to push the door, and he firmly said, “I really didn’t know about what happened today. I’ll figure it out and give you an explanation.”
“No need. It’s not necessary.”
How did she know if it was just another one of his self–directed scenes?
