“A staff member from Remus Corporation’s Finance Department informed me that they were taking back their previous investment. They found out when they looked through the accounts.”
Ada’s face turned even paler, and she spoke in a panic, “I’ll go back right away.”
If her misappropriation of public funds came to light, she could end up in jail.
With that in mind, she sped toward Remus Corporation to find Neil.
However, when she reached the building, a security guard stopped her from entering.
“Miss Pond, Mr. Remus refuses to see you.”
Her eyes burned with rage. “I won’t leave unless I see him today!”
The security guard looked at the scorching sun and sighed in resignation. “Mr. Remus won’t change his mind even if you stand here all day.”
Ada bit her lip and continued to stand there. She was determined to see Neil.
Since the security guard could not dissuade her, he returned to his booth.
As time passed, the ground got hotter and heat waves rose. Soon, her face was covered in sweat.
Around noon, Silvia came to Remus Corporation to discuss some collaboration details with Neil. As she approached the entrance, she noticed Ada standing there. It looked like she was about to faint.
Silvia was surprised, but she decided not to intervene. She pretended as if Ada was invisible and walked past her into the building.
However, Ada became visibly agitated upon seeing her.
“Stop right there, Silvia!”
She quickly blocked Silvia’s path and glared at her with hatred and jealousy.
“You’re the one who asked Neil to humiliate me like this, aren’t you?”
Silvia was bewildered, and she replied coldly, “Ada, are you paranoid? I don’t even know why you’re standing here, so how could I possibly ask him to humiliate you?”
Although they used to be married for three years, Silvia seldom visited him at Remus Corporation. The few times she did were for business reasons.
A few minutes later, Neil signed the document and turned his attention to her.
“Shall we have lunch together later?”
Silvia slid the document forward and adopted a businesslike tone. “Mr. Remus, let’s review the contract first. If there’s anything you’re dissatisfied with, we can modify it now.”
Neil turned to the last page of the document and signed without reading it.
“Our Legal Affairs Department worked overtime to draft this contract. You should at least go through it,” she said in dissatisfaction.
He glanced at the document and handed it back to her. “Now that official business is done, can we discuss personal matters?”
At the mention of “personal matters,” Silvia remembered encountering Ada downstairs.
She took the document with a snort and replied, “If you wish to discuss personal matters, you can find Ada. She’s waiting for you at the entrance. She seems to have plenty of personal matters to discuss with you.”
