Silvia walked around to the other side of the car, then got into the passenger seat. As soon as she got into the car and sat down, he said coldly, “Don’t you treat me as your friend with benefits? You dare to get into the car with your friend with benefits?”Silvia was speechless and glared at him. Ryan met her gaze, “It’s not impossible for us to be friends with benefits, but I think you should also know better after all these years. So, you’d better move back to Detroit for me!”Ryan said this through clenched teeth out of a moment of anger. He was furious when he thought of how she mentioned that they were just friends with benefits. What he said was vulgar and explicit, and it made Silvia angry and annoyed. “What’s wrong with you, Ryan Pierce? Who said that I wanted to continue being friends with benefits with you? I simply said that we can treat what happened last night as a hookup, and we’ll just pretend not to know each other in the future!”After saying that, Silvia aver
His proximity made Silvia instinctively resist his approach because of the experience last night. She did not want to make the same mistake a second time, so she pushed him away immediately. “I have to go to work tomorrow and I still have a lot of work to do. Please don’t give me a hard time anymore.”As Silvia spoke, she continued packing her suitcase. Ryan was a little forlorn as he lay on the bed in her bedroom and slowly overcame his reluctance as she packed her suitcase at the side. Indeed, she had a job now and she was such a serious person. It was also unrealistic for him to ask her to stay by his side in Detroit. If she could do anything for him at all costs in the past, then he must be ranked at the bottom of her priority list now. He was certain that he was not even as important as her job now.He was too eager. He thought that they could get together again because of what happened last night, but he forgot to take their current situations into consideration. She was
After returning home and resting, Silvia went to the company early the next day and returned to work.However, Silvia found that Christina’s seat was empty after she entered the office. After Miss Cullen arrived at the office, Silvia hurriedly asked Miss Cullen, “Miss Cullen, where’s Christina?”Miss Cullen answered her indifferently, “Oh, the director fired her yesterday because of her work attitude.”Silvia was somewhat surprised. “What? He fired her?”Miss Cullen sighed helplessly and said, “Don’t mention her anymore. She couldn’t understand the letter of credit. You taught her about it before, but she made a lot of mistakes when you were on leave. Mr. Snow fired her in a fit of rage.”Miss Cullen was also filled with dissatisfaction when she mentioned Christina. “When Mr. Snow and I noticed her lively and outgoing personality at the beginning, we felt that it would not be an issue for her to go out and talk to the clients when the time came. Unexpectedly, she does not thin
Ryan called her at least a dozen times, but he could not reach her at all.He panicked. This feeling of being unable to get a hold of her and losing contact with her completely made him feel extremely restless. He instantly thought of many bad things, worrying if something had happened to her. If something had happened to her, how would he deal with his daughter?After a while, he finally called Silvia’s father in desperation. He knew that her father would not react kindly to him, but he did not care too much. He simply wanted to know how she was doing now.Mr. Alberich rejected the call directly when he saw that it was a phone call from Ryan. Mrs. Alberich felt that it was strange for him to reject a call several times, so she asked him who was calling. Mr. Alberich did not want to answer her at first, but Mrs. Alberich took the cell phone from him and saw that it was Ryan who had been calling the whole time.Mrs. Alberich felt that there must be an emergency if Ryan was calling
“Didn’t we agree that we would not get involved anymore in the future?”They had nothing to do with each other now, so there was no need for her to report her whereabouts to him, right? She’d also made it clear to him that day that the incident between them that night was just a hookup between a man and a woman who needed to satisfy their needs.Ryan was furious. “Silvia, what do you take me for? Do you think I’m someone that you can have sex with and simply kick aside when you’re done?”Silvia was speechless. He was clearly the one who had initiated sex with her, so why did it seem as if he was suffering when she was not even feeling aggrieved? Ryan hung up the phone angrily before she could say anything else. Silvia was confused.It was then that her suitcase appeared on the baggage carousel, so she grabbed it, then went out of the airport with Miss Cullen and Mr. Snow before they took a taxi to the hotel.After Ryan hung up the call, his secretary happened to knock on t
Coincidentally, this client was also from Detroit and was known as Mr. Sage. He was in his early forties and operated a large-scale trading company that exported clothing, textiles, shoes, and leather products, such as leather bags, wallets, belts, and so forth. He came to the trade fair because he was looking to collaborate with another factory; the clothing factory he had previously been working with in the past went bankrupt. He’d happened to meet Silvia and the others at the trade fair.After a day of comparison and selection of various clothing manufacturers at the trade fair, he finally decided on Silvia because he felt that Silvia had a serious work attitude and was meticulous. Silvia’s factory also had certain production conditions so he finally made a decision to collaborate with this factory as their new manufacturer. Mr. Snow was very happy to hear this and had insisted on hosting a dinner to invite Mr. Sage and his party to dinner tonight. In fact, they were both in th
“So, you’re out socializing with a group of men now?”What Ryan did not lack was socializing experience, so he knew that on most social occasions, it would be mostly men there, and in such social occasions, a young and beautiful woman such as Silvia would most likely be coveted or be the subject of inappropriate sexual jokes by men with bad intentions. Although Ryan had always been decent during such social occasions and would never violate any female guests present with his words or actions, he did not allow himself to be violated by other women either.However, that did not mean that all men were like him. Even if the men who went out to socialize were originally decent, eight out of ten men would become indecent with alcohol as a catalyst.When Ryan heard that Silvia was socializing, his first reaction was anger, followed by all kinds of anxiety. He could not tolerate any man teasing her with words, let alone seizing the opportunity to touch her.Silvia noticed his sudden ange
He had been calling her over and over again all night. What did he want? She was so tired and simply wanted to sleep now!In fact, Ryan called her this time just to see if she had already returned to the hotel. She would be safe if she had already gone back to the hotel. As he thought of this, he then told her, “Lock the anti-theft lock on the door and keep both locks on when you go to bed at night.”The doors of every hotel had an anti-theft function, but there was also another layer of security which was a chain lock. Many people were not accustomed to locking this, which was actually very unsafe. Silvia suddenly remembered that she did not lock the chain lock after Ryan’s reminder, so she quickly got up and went over to lock it. After that, she told him out of politeness, “Thank you.”“When will you be coming back?”Ryan asked again. Since he reminded her to lock the chain lock, Silvia told him truthfully, “On the day after tomorrow.”“Let me know your flight time. I’ll pick
