Neil remained indifferent as he replied, “I have no objection.”
“Alright, Liam will start working at Remus Corporation tomorrow.”
With that settled, Abalene stood up and said, “I’m getting tired. You all should go back and rest. Silvia,come with me. I need to talk to you.”
Silvia followed Abalene. In Abelene’s bedroom, she looked at Silvia intently and asked, “Silvia, is thereno chance for you and Neil to get back together?”
She genuinely liked Silvia and got along well with her, so she wanted to help Neil reconcile with Silvia.
Silvia pursed her lips, nodded, and said, “Yes, Madam Remus. Mr. Remus and I are not meant to be.He likes Ada. It’s better for us to go our separate ways.
“But from what I see, he likes you now.”
Abalene’s words made Silvia’s heart skip a beat.
Would Neil like her?
“You got it wrong, Madam Remus. He’s just showing concern for me because I suddenly decided toleave him, and he can’t get used to my absence yet. He can’t possibly like me.”
Abalene held Silvia’s hand and slowly said, “If he really likes you, would you be willing to give himanother chance?”

Both of them stayed silent on the way back.
The car stopped at the mansion’s entrance. When Silvia was about to get out, Neil suddenly grabbedher wrist.
Silvia was surprised by his action. Just as she was about to ask him about it, he unexpectedly kissedher.
She was momentarily taken aback. Before she could push Neil away, he withdrew on his own. “I’mleaving for a business trip to Malland tomorrow. It’ll probably take a week.”
Silvia frowned. “You don’t have to tell me about it.”
“But I want to tell you.”
Silvia raised her head and met Neil’s tender gaze. She coldly said, “Mr. Remus, if you continue to actlike this, we might need to end our current relationship.”
Neil wore a self–deprecating smile. He averted his gaze and softly said, “I get it.”
“Thank you for taking me back.”
After that, Silvia got out of the car and left without looking back.
Neil stayed in the car for a few minutes before driving away.
