Chapter 272
Silvia felt that Ryan’s gaze was a little strange. However, she had no intention of hiding her identity since she already attended the party.
“Yeah. Why?”
Ryan’s eyes flickered with an inexplicable emotion. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know that you were the president of MY Corporation. If I had known, I wouldn’t have instructed my secretary to cancel our meeting that day.”
She was momentarily stunned as she found his words a bit odd.
“Mr. Anderson, there’s no need to apologize. That’s normal.”
There was a glimpse of disappointment in his eyes, and he softly said, “If there’s another opportunity for collaboration, I’ll prioritize MY Corporation.”
Silvia was surprised, but she soon realized it was probably for Neil’s sake. She smiled and replied, “Thank you, Mr. Anderson.”
“I mean it.”
Taken aback by his sincerity, she was about to respond when a cold voice interrupted them from behind.
“What are you two talking about?”
Silvia wanted to roll her eyes, and she coldly said, “It’s none of your business.”
Neil’s expression darkened. He sat beside her and replaced her cocktail with a glass of milk.
“Drink less. It’s better for your health.”
Silvia wanted to talk back, but she did not want to quarrel with him in front of Ryan. So, she lowered her head and remained silent.
“Ryan, go ahead and handle your business. There’s no need to stay here with us.”
Ryan’s eyes darkened a little as he looked at Neil. “Okay. I have some business to discuss, so I’ll go over there.”
Once he left, Neil turned to Silvia and said, “Keep your distance from him in the future.”
Silvia glanced at him with hostility. “Don’t worry. Even if I were desperate for a man, I wouldn’t target those close to you.”
He frowned but said nothing.
Silvia quietly finished her cake. When she stood up to leave, he grabbed her wrist again.
“Can we talk about our situation?
She looked at him in disbelief and asked, “Here? Now?”
“Is it not okay?”
“It’s inconvenient.”
Then, she shook his hand off. At this moment, Dulcie walked over to her and pretended not to
see Neil.
“Silvia, follow me. We’re meeting some clients.”
“Sure.”
Once they were out of his sight, Dulcie angrily said, “What the hell is wrong with Neil?! He brought Ada to the party, but he keeps bothering you. Is he trying to ride two horses at the same time?”
Silvia fell silent for a while. Then, she looked at Dulcie with a complicated expression and said, “Please try not to use idioms when you speak in the future.”
“Why?”
.”
“I’m afraid others will laugh at you.”
Dulcie rolled her eyes in anger. “Is that what you’re focused on? You should know that he’s been bringing Ada to every dinner party this month. People say she’s his girlfriend, and he doesn’t deny it. Yet, he’s bothering you again. He’s such a sc*mbag!”
Silvia nodded in agreement. “You’re right.”
Dulcie frowned. “I’m being serious right now. I don’t want you to repeat the same mistake.”
Silvia lowered her gaze and subconsciously clenched her fists.
“Don’t worry. I won’t.”
“Alright. I’m just worried you might get hurt again.”
Silvia smiled. “I know.”
Neil did not attempt to look for her again even after the party ended.
Since Silvia had quite a few drinks, Dulcie arranged for a chauffeur to take her home. She Silvia to call her once she arrived.

On the way back, Silvia looked out of the window with a blank expression and became lost in her thoughts.
