That never happened when she was with him.
When he thought about it, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. He picked up the glass of wine in front of him and downed it.
At the end of the night, both men were unconscious from drinking. The driver helped them into the car and sent them home.
…
After Neil left, Silvia entered her study to check through Liam and Elaine’s call history. There did not seem to be anything out of the ordinary.
It looked like both of them kept in touch via other phones.
She wondered how she would find evidence of them conspiring against Neil. Just then, she heard a door opening.
When she walked out of the study, she was surprised to see Neil. He was changing his shoes in the foyer, and he had a takeout box with him.
“Why are you back so soon?”
Neil raised his head and handed her the takeout box.
“I was afraid that you would worry if I came back late. I passed by your favorite restaurant on the way. Here’s some chili chicken.”
Silvia smiled in response. She took the box and opened it to take a whiff. “This is my supper for tonight!” she said excitedly.
When he saw her hurry into the kitchen, love filled his eyes.
“No one’s going to take it from you. Be careful. Don’t fall.”
After she finished the chili chicken, Silvia rubbed her stomach in satisfaction. “If only I could eat such delicious food every day!”
“No. Spicy food will irritate the stomach lining. You can eat it once in a while, but you can’t eat it every day.”
Seeing how serious he was, Silvia pouted unhappily. “Fine.”
“It’s getting late. Go up and rest.”
Silvia nodded. “Right. Since you have nothing to do now, would you want to help out at my company?”
Silvia found his gaze odd, so she frowned. “What’s wrong? If you don’t want that, you can sit outside.”
In reality, she did not want him to sit outside. In her mind, he was her boyfriend and not her employee.
“Nothing. I just didn’t think that you would trust me so much.”
All of a company’s confidential documents were in the president’s office. By having him work in her office, she was lowering her guard completely.
Silvia froze for a moment; she had not thought of this. She simply did not want Neil to show his face outside. However, he was not wrong for understanding it that way too.
She noticed that Neil was looking at her intensely, and she could barely handle it.
She stood up in a hurry. “If there are no other questions, I’ll be going upstairs.”
As she turned to leave, Neil grabbed her wrist.
The next second, she fell into his arms, and the passion in their eyes kept growing as they gazed at each other.
