Silvia remained silent for a long time before she said, “Mr. Reed, I’m flattered, but I don’t plant on getting into a relationship anytime soon.”
Yannick nodded. “I know. I can wait for the day you’re ready to start a new relationship.”
She decided to clarify things further.
“Mr. Reed, I hope that you won’t wait for me. I don’t know if I’ll ever start thinking of a relationship. You deserve someone better.
“Anyway, I thank you for your help these past few days. Did you lie about your family wanting to get into the fashion business?”
His eyes shone with surprise. He did not expect her to remember that.
“No, that’s true. I just want to pursue you as well.‘
“If you need my help with the fashion industry, I’ll try my best to assist you. But I won’t be able to reciprocate your love, Mr. Reed.”
Yannick was at a loss. He chuckled in resignation and said, “Actually, I knew from the
beginning that you would reject me, but I still wanted to give it a try. Since you don’t like me, I won’t pester you any longer.”
Silvia finally sighed in relief. She had another reason for not being in a relationship with Yannick: He was Dulcie’s cousin. If they dated and ended up breaking up, her relationship with Dulcie might become awkward.
“Thank you, Mr. Reed. You’re a wonderful person, so I’m sure you’ll find a better girl.”
“Have I just been friend zoned?”
Silvia immediately explained, “No, I was sincerely complimenting you. I wasn’t trying to friend zone you!”
He looked at her and slowly asked, “Can you call me Yannick again?”
“Yannick.”
“Thank you.” NôvelDrama.Org content.
After Silvia returned to MY Corporation, she immediately called Dulcie to her office.
“Shouldn’t you offer me an explanation about Yannick?”
Dulcie was taken aback, and she asked, “Has he confessed to you?”
“I guess so.”
“He’s always believed that he wasn’t good enough for you. I never thought he would pluck up his courage and confess to you!”
When Silvia saw the excitement in her eyes, she sternly said, “I rejected him.”
“Oh.” Dulcie did not look surprised. “I told him in the beginning that he wasn’t your cup

tea, but he still wanted to give it a try.”
Silvia glared at her. “If you pull something like this again, I’ll deduct your year–end bonus!” Dulcie immediately tugged on Silvia’s sleeve. “Don’t! I finally have just enough to buy New Year’s Eve presents. It’s been hard! You’ll kill me if you deduct my year–end bonus.”
Silvia laughed in anger. “You’re really good at twisting your words.”
“You can’t deduct my money no matter what.”
“If you
behave yourself, obviously, I won’t deduct anything.”
Dulcie was speechless.
“Okay, carry on with your work. Don’t match me with others again!”
“Got it!”
After Dulcie left, Silvia called Joe and Eva to her office.
“Go home and pack your stuff. You’re going on a business trip with me tomorrow. This trip will last about a week.”
Once they left, Silvia proceeded to read through a document on her table.
Meanwhile, Eva went to a quiet corner and made a call.
“Hi. Miss Pond has asked me to join her on a business trip tomorrow.”
Someone on the other end said something before Eva nodded and replied, “Okay, I understand.”
The next morning, Silvia brought Joe and Eva with her.
Neil had forgotten to change his dressing again because of his busy work schedule. Curtis gave
Silvia a call so that she could come over and assist. However, her phone had been off.
He told Neil, who promptly said, “Find out where she
