Silvia was already indifferent to the moniker 'Mrs. Pierce' at this point. She could not explain herself, so if they wanted to, they could just call her 'Mrs. Pierce.'After all, she could not possibly tell them not to address her as Mrs. Pierce because they were divorced and that she was only here to act as his wife to help him secure the project, right?Following a brief greeting, the man informed them apologetically, "I'm sorry, she just woke up and will come up after tidying herself up. She’s been resting for a while because she’s a little exhausted after rushing over from Winsterdam. Please take a seat first."He then went to the tea room to serve them drinks.Ryan guided Silvia to a seat on the sofa, but she was so tense that she was oblivious to the fact that he was holding her hand.Ryan could feel her anxiety and he held her hand tightly as he said, “You’re feeling so nervous?”Ryan had called the studio in advance to help Silvia schedule a meeting with Sofia after learn
Silvia greeted her embarrassedly, “Hello, Miss Norris, just call me Silvia.”The public was used to addressing Sofia as Miss Norris because she was also the editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine. When Sofia heard Silvia calling her Miss Norris, she chuckled. “I’ll call you Silvia, and you can just call me Sofia.”Sofia’s initiative in closing the distance between them helped Silvia to relax quite a bit.Milo stood up when Sofia emerged and gave her a glass of water. After taking a few sips of the water, she casually shooed the guys away. “Guys, we’re going to get to work now, so it’d be best for men not to be watching when a woman is putting on her makeup. Feel free to go ahead and do whatever you want in the meantime. Grab a cup of coffee or smoke a cigarette or something.”Ryan and Milo instantly understood and left to chat in the smoking room.Sofia led Silvia to sit in front of the makeup mirror. Silvia was a little nervous as she said, “I just want to get my hair styled.”
She also gave Silvia a fluffy and layered hairstyle so that she looked even more sexy and alluring when coupled with her makeup and clothes. After dressing her up, Sofia went to ask Ryan to come out, but stopped Milo from following them. She closed the door and walked in, then wrapped her arms around his waist to stop him, prodding his strong chest with her slender hand. “You don’t need to go out and admire someone else’s woman.”Milo had a deep look in his eyes. “It doesn’t matter even if I admire them. I think they’re all inferior to you.”Sofia smiled brightly. “Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.”As soon as Ryan came out, he saw Silvia standing there. She seemed like the most beautiful and captivating woman thanks to her flattering cosmetics and thick, deep eyeliner.Ryan had never seen Silvia like this before. In his memories, she had always had a clean, bright, and lovely appearance that had suddenly changed to one that was charming and enticing. His initial ass
But all he could do was leave it alone.She could expose her shoulders, then; after all, he believed that no one would dare to look at her more if he was there. Ryan insisted on picking out a couple of outfits for Silvia to wear daily, but she refused. However, Ryan insisted that he would buy them all as long as Sofia recommended them and said that they were suitable for Silvia. Naturally, he also picked out some clothes that he felt would look good on Silvia and bought them too.In the end, many bags of clothes filled the entire car trunk when they left.They were the last thing Silvia wanted. Why would she need to wear pricey branded clothing if she worked at a factory? It was also inconvenient because she frequently went to the workshop.After tossing around like this, it was time for the dinner banquet. The two drove straight to the hotel. The banquet was held at the hotel where the Browns were staying so it would be convenient for them to go downstairs to attend the banque
She believed that by pushing her to get better so rapidly, he was undermining her resolve to live independently and mocking her passion for her work.He kept saying he loved her, but when had he put himself in her shoes and considered her feelings? What would the hard effort she had put in over the previous month amount to if she actually accepted his invitation and joined Pierce Group?She simply retorted, “Ryan Pierce, you aren’t always in the right.”She then turned around and exited the car.Ryan did not intend to enrage her; he merely wanted to provide her with a pleasant working atmosphere.He got out of the car and pursued her before raising his hand to stop her. "Why are you so irate? You don't have to come if you don't want to."Silvia was unwilling to speak with him, however. She assumed he would not understand even if she explained why she was angry right now because he did not care to understand her at all.She felt disrespected by what he was doing, which was not at
He hung up the phone after that. All ambiguities would be cleared up when Julian joined them.Julian also wanted to emphasize that if Ryan did not make it clear who that woman was, he would not be attending the dinner banquet tonight.As a result, Ryan hung up the phone directly. Julian was irritated as he sped towards the hotel lobby after getting out of the car. He was interested in finding out which vixen could manage to hook up with Ryan so quickly.If he could, he would handle this vixen's situation on Silvia's behalf to ensure that she would never have a foothold in Detroit!"Ryan Pierce!" Julian yelled angrily as he hurried to the lobby.Julian's outburst shocked Silvia, who was standing close to Ryan. She quickly turned around to look at Julian.Julian was about to confront Ryan with an angry inquiry when he was startled by the woman's appearance.Upon taking a closer look, he spoke up in disbelief, “Silvia?”Julian was now feeling terribly ashamed. When he thought bac
“Weren’t you quite imposing on the phone just now? Why aren’t you saying anything now?”Being an articulate man, Julian laughed and added, "Ryan, you definitely picked up a treasure. In contrast to Silvia, who can look innocent and enticing at the same time, those women around me appear gorgeous, but one cannot even look at them if their makeup is off.Ryan's discontent increased when he overheard Julian comparing Silvia to the women around him.“Don’t compare her with those women around you!”He exhibited obvious disdain for those women around Julian. After that, he turned around, wrapped Silvia in his arms, and dragged her into the allocated private room. Julian yelled angrily behind him, “Ryan Pierce, I might as well call you a wife protector in the future!”He was obviously complimenting Silvia on how beautiful she looked even without makeup, but Ryan clearly did not like it and even ridiculed his sense of aesthetics!…That evening, a grand welcome meal with a sizable cro
The dinner feast was quite entertaining, and many of the senior executives from Pierce Group in attendance kept glancing over at Silvia, who was sitting next to Ryan, in an effort to get a better look at the boss's wife. They did not, however, have the courage to look again after coming face to face with Ryan's icy glare.A senior executive seated next to Julian was somewhat intoxicated after three rounds of drinking. He suddenly recalled Ryan's forced creation of the Foreign Trade Department earlier that day. He made the decision to ask Julian to learn the reason behind such a decision“Mr. Maton, you’re Mr. Ryan’s good buddy, so I wonder if you know why Mr. Ryan wants to set up a Foreign Trade Department? Could it be that the two of you have recently negotiated a good trade business?”The senior executives talked about Ryan's plans for creating the Foreign Trade Department after he left in the morning. After much consideration, they came to the conclusion that because Ryan had n
