After struggling for a long time but still failing to get the answer he wanted, Ryan wished he could pry down the door of her bedroom and punish her.Ryan felt that it was impossible for this to go on like this. He had to think of a way to establish a legitimate status.If he had a legitimate status, she would not be able to ask him who he was if he meddled in her matters. After thinking for a long time, he took out his cell phone and dialed a person’s number. During this period of time, Silvia had secured a big client, which was also her first client since joining Mr. Sage’s company. It was a client with great potential. Mr. Sage had always wanted to win this client over but to no avail, so he entrusted her with this task after she joined the company.Silvia used all the tricks up her sleeves before she finally secured the client. Mr. Sage called her into the office that day and said that he had decided to reward her for her achievement. He would give her a few days off so sh
This was Miya’s point of view.It seemed that everyone had a point. It was as if they were all love gurus, but if they were the one caught up in the mess, they may not be able to see things so clearly. Those involved in the matter are easily blinded to the truth, and those not involved can see things clearly. This is an undeniable truth. The three of them were in favor of her going on a trip with Ryan, even though Wendy only agreed because she hoped that Silvia could break up with Ryan after the trip.Therefore, Silvia decided to go on a trip with Ryan; Mr. Sage had already given her the days off anyway. After coming to a decision, she called Ryan and talked about traveling with him. Ryan was somewhat surprised when she agreed to go on the trip with him so readily. “So, you agree?”Silvia teased him. “Why wouldn’t I agree? Maybe we’ll break up when we come back.”Ryan was exasperated by her and stood there without saying a word for a while. He then asked her again, “Where do
“Let’s meet at the mall after work and go shopping together.”However, Silvia rejected him directly. “It’s better to go shopping with a woman.”Ryan was dissatisfied. “You’re going on a trip with me, so why do you want to go shopping with others?” “Okay, then. You can come shopping with us if you want to. Let’s meet after work, then.”Silvia hung up the phone after saying this. She was actually doing it for his own good as she could foresee that she would be buying a lot of things later. How would he be willing to shop with her for long hours? She was afraid that he would break down after going to a few shops, so she did not want him to come along, lest he got upset. Unexpectedly, he was unwilling to let her shop without him, so he could just follow them.Silvia made an appointment with Wendy to go shopping with her, and she headed to the mall directly after getting off work.As for Ryan, he finished some work at hand as quickly as possible after ending the call with Silvi
Silvia was embarrassed. She couldn't tell him straight away that Wendy was not optimistic about his performance on this trip at all and was hoping that he would be out of the picture after they returned from the trip.So, she said perfunctorily, “You’re too sensitive. She was simply wishing us a good trip.”Ryan expressed serious doubts about her words. He squinted his eyes and thought for a moment before asking her, “Is she gloating and hoping that I’d be completely out of the picture after we come back from the trip?”Silvia was speechless. She was baffled as to why a man like him could be so perceptive.Silvia’s expression gave everything away. Ryan knew that his guess was right. However, he did not say anything. Anyway, Wendy had always had this attitude toward him. He was more interested in Miya and Jane’s opinions.“What are your other friends saying about me now?” Silvia rolled her eyes at him.“You want to know?”“Mm-hmm.”He nodded. Silvia smirked and said, “I’m
However, what was the point of him caring about other people’s opinions? The most important was still her own opinion of him.If she insisted on being with him, no one could stop her, just like how it was back then.If she insisted on not being with him, no one could stop her either. So, all he had to care about was her feelings. As she thought of this, she lowered her eyes without looking at him and said in a low voice, “None of them agreed for me to be with you in the past.”Ryan understood what she meant although she did not say anything more.She wanted to express that she would not be influenced by other people’s opinions, so he did not need to ask what the people around her were thinking of him.Even if everyone still disagreed with them being together, they could still be together as long as she was willing. However, there was also an antithesis to this sentence—even if everyone wanted them to be together, it would be futile if she did not want to.Ryan was lost, and
Silvia felt that he was just looking for excuses. She stood there with her arms crossed in front of her chest, insisting on asking what he was thinking to expose his lies. She was certain that he was just lying and that he was just impatient to accompany her shopping.When Silvia asked Ryan this question, he smiled wistfully, then leaned closer to her ear and whispered. “You want to know what I was thinking? I’ll tell you when we get home.”His tone was ambiguous enough, but after he was done speaking, he tilted his head and kissed the corner of her lips. Silvia was annoyed because this was a shopping mall with a large crowd. She glared at him before she turned around and left. Ryan pushed the shopping cart behind her as he secretly warned himself not to be distracted again. Otherwise, she would get angry, and the consequences would be disastrous. The second half of the purchasing went smoothly, and they bought a lot of things for the trip. After finally leaving the mall, Ryan su
Silvia did not say anything more. She just looked at him and smiled. “Come on. Let’s get out of the car and buy some medication.” The past should not be mentioned again. There were enough trials and hardships in life. The two bought some common medication at the pharmacy and went to pay at the cash register. Silvia walked ahead, and when she arrived at the cash register, she found that Ryan did not follow her, so she had to wait for him.After a while, he came out from behind a shelf with a few boxes in his hand. When he approached Silvia, she took a closer look and was immediately embarrassed. She clenched her teeth and asked him in a low voice, “Why are you buying this?”He did not take her seriously and causally put the few boxes on the counter along with the other medication. He replied unscrupulously, “This is a necessity, so of course I have to buy it.”Silvia was speechless. Condoms were indeed a necessity for some, but not them. There was no such activity between the
“No.”Silvia’s eyes were still focused on the itinerary. She was already captivated when she saw that the destination was Saipan.She then slowly looked through the itinerary. He had planned to visit all the fun places in Saipan with beautiful sceneries, and he had planned all kinds of interesting activities they could do. He had even thoughtfully arranged a day just for shopping.Silvia laughed when she saw this. It seemed that all men knew of women’s love for shopping. There was nothing she was dissatisfied with since he had planned everything so well. As a person who often needed to make plans at work, Silvia looked through the itinerary with a professional lens. She was full of admiration for this itinerary that was well thought out, so she turned to look at him and asked suspiciously, “Did you come up with this itinerary by yourself? Did your secretary help you with it?”Silvia felt that he couldn't have had the time to plan all this in such detail. Ryan was a little speec
