There were many drivers present because they also had a translator with them. Ryan had arranged for a luxurious business caravan that was spacious and comfortable. After arriving at the airport, they picked the Browns up successfully and exchanged warm and polite greetings with them.Mr. Brown was a small thin old Frenchman, who seemed a bit different from the tall and handsome Frenchmen often seen on television. However, his appearance did not matter; what mattered was his love for his wife.Mrs. Brown was about the same age as her husband, with a slightly fatter figure. Both her dressing and temperament exuded elegance, and she had a bright and beautiful appearance. She was obviously a beauty when she was young. This was Silvia’s first impression of them,.Previously, Julian had told her that Mr. Brown and his wife grew up together. Mr. Brown had liked Mrs. Brown since he was young, but she did not like him at the time and also had her own sweetheart.Mr. Brown also had low s
Mrs. Brown answered her with a faint smile, “Warm.”Silvia was stunned when she heard this word from the translator. Warm?Silvia was surprised that he would use such a beautiful word to describe her.He had always only felt resentment, boredom, and endless rejection toward her. She never thought that she would hear him describing her with such a word, one day.She continued walking as she raised her eyes to look at the tall man in front of her. She suddenly did not know what to feel.The translator then chatted with her in English, “Mrs. Pierce, don’t you know the reason?”Silvia was already in a daze so when the translator asked her this, she was even more puzzled. “What reason?”The translator smiled and explained to her, “Your daughter’s name is Autumn, isn’t it? Mr. Pierce said that she was named that because the sun was very warm, your smile was very warm, and his heart also felt very warm when he saw you hold and coax your daughter.”Ryan’s secretary had always been a
She turned around and got into the car without saying anything else. Why? Why did she find out about these things when her feelings were already gone?…The group headed to the hotel. After checking in, the Browns checked into their room to rest and beat their jet lag first. Ryan made an appointment with them to treat them to dinner in the evening, when the other business partner, Julian, would also be present. The Browns agreed readily. Ryan turned to ask Silvia in the hotel lobby, “What would you like to do during the day?”Silvia naturally wanted to see her daughter, but she considered the fact that Autumn was likely still in kindergarten, so she had to give up on that thought. There was nothing else she wanted to do.“I’ll go home to settle some work on the computer.”Silvia told her daughter that she would be coming to stay in Detroit for a few days on their earlier call, and Autumn was very happy. However, Silvia did not bother her because it was already too late when
After she was done speaking, Ryan fell silent as he looked at her.She really devoted everything to him and his daughter but was always far less attentive toward herself. He did not even know that she would just make do when he and his daughter were not at home.Silvia received a phone call at this moment. It was a call from her client, saying that he had received a sample of a piece of clothing that was made a few days ago and there were a few changes that needed to be made, so he’d emailed the changes to her and reminded her to check her email.This was a foreign client, so they were conversing in Chinese Mandarin.However, Silvia had just started working and had lost her command of Chinese Mandarin for so many years. She could not speak fluently, but still tried her best to communicate with her client. Ryan looked at her earnestly and felt extremely sorry when he thought of the five years she had been out of touch with society. If it was not for him and their daughter, she m
Silvia could not stand the smile on his face and asked him coldly, “Didn’t you say that you had something to discuss with me?” Ryan restrained the smile on his face and got straight to the point. “I plan to invite the Browns over for dinner tomorrow night. I would like to ask for your opinion on this matter.”Silvia glanced at him. “You can decide on your own matters yourself.”Since when did he start asking for her opinion? Wasn’t he used to giving orders?“How can I decide on this matter on my own? You know that I don’t know how to cook, so I’ll definitely have to trouble you if I want to invite them over to the house.”Ryan observed her expression as he spoke. Silvia was very calm as she replied, “It’s no trouble at all. I’ve told you that I’ll help you the best I can. You can invite them over if you want to and I’ll be in charge of receiving them.”Ryan was left speechless by her reply. Was everything that she was doing now simply done with the mentality of completing the mi
Despite Silvia’s embarrassment, Ryan, who was sitting across from her, was in a good mood after hearing the lady boss’s words. He finished the big bowl of ramen and even told her that he would come back frequently in the future when he paid the bill.As soon as the two of them left the ramen shop, Silvia turned around and walked into the neighborhood very quickly, as if she wanted to part ways with Ryan immediately.After walking for a while, she realized that he still hadn’t left. When she turned around, she found that he was slowly following her. Silvia stopped in her tracks and asked him, “Aren’t you going to the company?”Ryan had a very innocent expression as he said, “Yes, but I have to go back and get the car first.”Silvia was speechless as she glanced at him. She then turned her head and continued walking.She had forgotten that he had to get the car to drive to the company because she had been so anxious to get rid of him.Ryan was not in a hurry to catch up to her, b
When he realized Silvia had made this decision, the only thing left to do was to call and question her. He really wanted to run up to her and shake her awake if he could. "I don't want to explain anything."Silvia was aware that she couldn't possibly explain anything. They were unaware of how hard she wanted to be rid of Ryan, and she could only hope that once this situation was resolved, she would be able to set a firm boundary with him. It was not too late for them to question her again when the results were out. They would then understand how determined she was to end her relationship with Ryan.After confronting her attitude, Ethan became even more incensed to the point that he immediately hung up the phone. When Ethan learned that Silvia and Ryan were involved once more, he became furious, resentful, and helpless. After getting hurt once, he believed she would become smarter, but he did not want her to be that dim-witted. But as he lamented her folly, he suddenly under
One of them spread his hands. “Since he’s already made a decision on his own, why would he call us for a discussion then? It's not like he agrees with our assessment.”Several other senior executives also expressed dissatisfaction with his arbitrary behavior, but they were still those who supported Ryan.“He is also capable so he must have his own considerations in making this decision. Let’s just wait and see what he can achieve.”However, they would probably have a breakdown if they knew that he’d only set up the Foreign Trade Department to recruit Silvia. After Ryan announced the establishment of the Foreign Trade Department, he returned to his office to resume working. He got a coffee delivery from his secretary in the afternoon, but she lingered after making the delivery. Ryan gave his secretary a quick look.“What’s wrong?”His secretary had been with him for many years, so she spoke up at his inquiry.“Mr. Ryan, all my colleagues have been complaining that today’s wo
