Chapter 187

Silvia used to think that Neil was a germaphobe. However, she realized her error when she saw himeating a chicken wing that Abalene had served him. In comparison, he would always leave everythingfrom Silvia untouched. He was not a germaphobe; he was just disgusted with her.

Almost twenty minutes later, Neil finally finished his meal.

Silvia had already lost all patience. “Can you let me go now?”

Only then did he release her hand.

She was still irritated as she walked out of the office. She had to replace a way to establish clearboundaries with Neil.

Ryan spotted her and immediately walked up to her.

“Miss Pond, did Neil give you a hard time?”

Silvia felt comforted when she saw his obvious concern. She shook her head and said, “No. I’m sorryfor causing you some trouble too. I’ll treat you to dinner sometime.”

Ryan smiled when he heard this. “Sure thing! Don’t you forget about it.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t.”

Out of Neil’s friends, Ryan was the only one who treated her with courtesy. Silvia could sense thatHenry and David looked down on her even though they never expressed it outwardly. They probablythought of her as a homewrecker.

Ryan wanted to chat more, but Neil’s cold voice interrupted him.

“Aren’t you here to discuss business with me, Ryan? Why are you wasting time?”

The atmosphere became unpleasant when Neil appeared.

Silvia ignored him. Instead, she smiled and said to Ryan, “Mr. Anderson, I won’t take up any more ofyour time. Goodbye.”

“Alright. Goodbye.”

Neil continued to stare at Silvia. A hint of anger flashed across his eyes when he noticed that she didnot even spare him a glance.

Once she entered the lift, he shifted his gaze to Ryan.

“When did you get so close with Silvia?”

Ryan did not bat an eyelid. “Back when you were injured, the few of us visited you quite often. That’show we started to chat more often.”

“Stay away from her!”

Ryan frowned when he heard Neil’s threatening tone. “Neil, aren’t you already divorced? Can’t Iinteract with Miss Pond normally?”

“We’re not divorced, and we’ll never get a divorce!”

“But didn’t Miss Pond mention that you’ve received your divorce certificates?”

Neil’s gaze became ruthless.

“Ryan, this is between me and Silvia. You don’t have to worry about it!”

After Ryan remained silent for a while, he said, “Alright. Let’s discuss that plot of land in East City,”

Then, the two of them entered the office.

On the way back to MY Corporation, Silvia fell into deep thought. She felt that she had to replace herself aboyfriend so that Neil would stop harassing her.

She was a doer, so she immediately called Dulcie over when she reached her office.

“Dul, do you know any good men? Can you introduce some of them to me?”

Dulcie was extremely shocked. She touched Silvia’s forehead and asked, “Are you having a fever?Why are you asking me about this?”

Silvia pushed her hand away and spoke seriously, “I’m not kidding.”

“I’m not kidding with you either. Now that you’ve divorced Neil, shouldn’t you be working extremely hardto reach the peak of your career? That way, you can show Neil and Ada how great you’re doing.”

Silvia was speechless as she stared at Dulcie. “I do plan to work hard, but I don’t want to interact withthem anymore, much less prove them wrong.”

“Are you feeling lonely?”

“No, I need a man to pretend to be my boyfriend because Neil has been acting a little unusual lately.”

A hint of curiosity flashed across Dulcie’s eyes. She tilted her head and asked, “Is he pursuing you?”

Based on the way he looked at Silvia, Dulcie was quite certain that he had some feelings for her. “Sortof. Do you know anyone?”

“I do. But before I introduce them to you, we should settle another issue first.”

Silvia was confused. “What issue?”
