CHAPTER 1141
Andrew warned, “Your business has nothing to do with me? Silvia Turner, try and say that again!"
Silvia's voice became softer as she spoke. "They're trying to find fault with me, and it's not something you can help me with. I don't want to trouble you."
Andrew's face was still as dark as before and his voice was cold as he spoke, "Why would you think that this is going to trouble me? What if I just like to clean up after your mess?"
Silvia pursed her lips. She did not believe that he would be so kind, so she said, "Unless you have too much spare time to do so."
Andrew was stunned and he replied, “That's right. I have too much time!"
Silvia was extremely surprised. Sure enough, this man was different from any other ordinary person. She could never predict what was on his mind.
She could have just asked him for help, but she did not. This was the very reason why Andrew was so mad. If he was to make himself look at her face again, he might really strangle her to death. Therefore, he looked away from her face and looked at the crowd which was surrounding them. Eventually, his gaze fell upon Alina and he said. "You! Lead the way to the school affairs office."
"Me?" Alina asked in surprise. Being pointed out by a handsome guy with such a strong aura who drove a luxury car, Alina was a little overwhelmed by such unexpected attention.
However, when Alina saw that he was holding Silvia in his arms, a strong sense of jealousy arose in her heart. "Sir, our university does not allow just anyone to enter the campus."
Silvia also nodded. "Yes, that's right. Our university does not allow outsiders to enter."
Andrew then picked Silvia up immediately and asked, “What about the student's legal guardian?"
Silvia said, "A guardian could... No, I'm an adult, I don't need you to be my guardian."
Guardian?!
Everyone that was present also heard this word. Since when did Silvia have such an outstanding guardian?
On top of that, what made people even more furious was that this man had been giving a cold face to Silvia, but he constantly held her in his arms. All of them could tell that he cared about her very much.
The girl next to Alina was still fangirling at Andrew. "Oh my god. He's really so hot. Please look at me!"
Alina was enraged. She wanted to vent her frustration so she turned back and glared at the girl. "With that ugly face of yours?!"
The girl's face turned pale in an instant. She retorted in a low voice, "He's so handsome, anyone can dream, why can't I?"
Alina was so angry that she stomped on the girl‘s foot and glared at her, “What's the point of dreaming? If you think you can do it, then go snatch him from Silvia! Then you'll be the one in his arms instead of her."
The girl's foot was in great pain. She was furious as she retorted, "Fine, I know I am not as good as you, Alina. You should try to snatch him then!"
This girl was normally a timid follower of Alina's, yet she now dared to refute Alina loudly. Rage was pierced into her core and her face had turned pale.
Silvia Turner! This b‘tch was really Alina's nemesis. As long as Silvia was around, nothing good would ever happen to her.
Alina was not any inferior than Silvia at all. No, to be exact, she was much more outstanding than Silvia. Why would only great things come to Silvia and not her? Why?!
Looking at the figure of the man who was holding Silvia in his arms, Alina gnashed her teeth, and her face was twisted in rage.
After shoving Silvia into his car and fastening her seatbelt, Andrew went around the car and got into the driver's seat.
"Young Master Carter, what on earth are you trying to do?" Silvia was used to being surrounded by her schoolmates like a monkey in a circus. However, this time, she was in Andrew. She was really unwilling to be caught in such a situation.
Andrew still ignored her and drove off. However, he headed straight for the university campus. Silvia exclaimed, "Young Master Carter, only people with special passes are allowed to drive into the campus. We'll not be able to get in."
"Is that so?" As soon as Andrew said that, reality immediately gave Silvia a tight slap on the face. Just by looking at Andrew's license plate number, the security guard instantly let him through without any questions asked.
However, after thinking it over, Silvia understood the entire situation. This bastard's father, Mr. Carter was the richest man in Madison City. With such an influence, it would be just a piece of cake for Andrew to drive into the campus.
As the saying went, money makes the mare go. Since Andrew's family was so rich, driving into the campus was not a big deal at all!
Silvia was still trying to persuade him not to meddle in her business. "Young Master Carter, i can handle it myself, you don‘t have to...“
Andrew took one of his hands off the steering wheel and grabbed her hand. "From now on, your business is my business."
Although his words were very overbearing, they were not detestable and there was even a hint of warmth penetrating into Silvia's heart. She wanted to withdraw her hand, but she stopped and let him continue to hold on to her hand...
The car slowly arrived at the university's office area. What Silvia did not expect was that not only could Andrew drive into the campus, he was even personally welcomed by the chancellor and a few other executive directors of the university.
The Principal came with a group of executive directors, standing in one line, welcoming Andrew. This was something that Silvia would only see when there was a huge event at the university or when there was an inspection going on.
As soon as he saw Andrew, the chancellor immediately went up and welcomed him with a smile. "Mr. Carter, it's a great honor to have you here to check on our university with your busy schedule!"
“Mm!" Andrew answered, dispensing all those superficial formalities.
Silvia sighed in amazement. He was behaving so arrogantly just because he had a rich and powerful father. He was obviously just here to saunter around, how did it suddenly become an inspection? He was just a trust fund baby, how could he be qualified to do an inspection on the university?
The chancellor said, "As soon as I heard that Mr. Carter is coming over to the university, I've immediately summoned the executive directors here to welcome you."
Seeing that the chancellor was fawning all over Andrew, the conversation which happened between her and the chancellor the day before instantly came into her mind.
The chancellor had asked for her to have a chat. Not only was he very polite to her, he had even showered her with compliments. Was it because he knew about her relationship with Andrew?
The chancellor should not have known about it though!
She had never spoke about their relationship, and she guessed Andrew would not tell anyone about it too. Therefore, how did the chancellor know about it then?
Being confused, Silvia covertly looked at Andrew. The chancellor was talking to him, "Mr. Carter, I've heard about what had happened just now. I'll immediately send someone to find out who those students were and make them apologize to Silvia."
Silvia had never expected that Andrew would have such a huge influence. Even the university was under his control. if that was the case, then did that mean that the vegetarian menu at the school canteen was his idea too?
It must be him, it had to be him. In order to prevent her from eating meat, this b‘stard could do just anything.
Just as Silvia was gnashing her teeth in anger, Andrew suddenly reached out his hand and ruffled her hair as he said to the chancellor, “My Silvia is a little short tempered, but she's not a bad person. If the others don't provoke her, she would never cause any trouble."
After listening to these words, the chancellor knew exactly what Andrew was trying to say. No matter whose fault was it, his Silvia was definitely not in the wrong.
CHAPTER 1142
The Principal smiled and said, "Yes, that's right. Silvia is a well-rounded student, and I also believe that she will never want to cause trouble. Even if she was the one who caused trouble, it must be because the other students have done something bad in the first place.“
Silvia could not hear what the headmaster was saying at all. Her mind was full of what Andrew had just said. "My dear Silvia."
My dear Silvia?!
Such simple words... but they inadvertently tugged at Silvia's heartstrings.
In the past, when her father was still alive, no matter how busy he was or how late he arrived home, he would always go to Silvia's room. He would check if Silvia was asleep, if she had kicked the quilt off the bed.
Her father would sit on Silvia's bedside and caress her head, "My dear Silvia has grown a lot. You will soon grow up and become a lovely young lady."
She would then hug her father and say, "I don't want to grow up, I want to be your little sweetheart for the rest of my life."
Her father would be amused but also let out a sigh. "But my little Silvia will grow up eventually, and you will meet the man you love. By that time, you will no longer stay with Daddy and Mommy."
At that time, Silvia did not understand her father's love and his reluctance to let her go. Therefore, she said excitedly, "Daddy, don't worry. When I grow up, I will marry Felix. Then, we will take care of you and Mommy, and also Felix's parents!"
However, whenever she mentioned this, her father would shake his head saying, "My silly daughter!"
For as long as Silvia could remember, her father had done that bedside routine up until the night before he passed away from the car accident. He had given Silvia all the love and care he could and provided her the best things in life.
However, before Silvia had even graduated from university, began her career, or repay her father's love for her... He had been murdered!
At the thought of her deceased father, Silvia's eyes turned red. She lowered her head and quietly wiped away her tears.
But at this time, Andrew's voice sounded in her ears. "Even I cannot bring myself to bully Silvia, but your students dared to gang up on her! I hope that you can give me a reasonable explanation for this matter, Mr. Donald."
"He can't bring himself to bully me?" Silvia thought.
This was incredulous! Didn't he know that he had been bullying her all this while?
Although she was refuting him in her heart, when she heard Andrew defending her, Silvia's heart felt like it was immersed in a bucket full of honey. She was over the moon, so much that she hooked her arm over his, leaning against him.
She felt as if all problems could be solved as long as Andrew was around. She did not have to worry about being punished for beating someone up, nor did she have to worry about Alina's scheming. Silvia didn't even have to worry about not having someone to defend her!
The Principal said, "Mr. Carter, those students were indeed in the wrong. On our part, we will definitely punish those students for the hurt they caused Silvia."
Silvia grabbed Andrew's arm out of a sudden and was snuggling close to him. Did that mean that she had accepted him as her guardian?
Whether she did or not, Andrew assumed that, that was what she meant. At the thought of this, his heart leaped. He then continued, "May I know how would the university deal with this matter?"
The Principal was intimidated by Andrew's aggressiveness. He wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Mr. Carter, please wait a moment. The students who had caused this commotion will arrive soon. We will investigate this matter thoroughly and give Silvia the justice that she deserves."
At this time, Alina and the other girls who caused the ruckus had arrived. One of the girls did not recognize Andrew. She only knew that the Principal was there, so she immediately threw Silvia under the bus. "Silvia actually hit someone and we all witnessed it. You should punish her!"
The Principal's face darkened in an instant. "What nonsense!"
Silvia wanted to refute, but before she could even do so, Andrew spoke, "I've heard it with my own ears that it was you who had asked her to hit you. My dear Silvia has always been a thoughtful child, so she would never refuse any of her classmate's requests. She did such a huge favor for you. and yet you're not even grateful to her, but also slandering her."
Oh God!
Andrew's words was really an eye-opener to Silvia. She was a master at being unreasonable, however, Andrew's technique was far superior to hers! She was impressed.
However, Silvia enjoyed it. She loved that Andrew was being unreasonable, arrogant, and made use of his domineering influence to bully others on her behalf.
Silvia looked at Alina with a smug on her face. "You have your uncle to back you up, I have mine too. Come at me now if you dare!"
Andrew glanced around and looked at the Principal again. "Mr. Donald, do you agree with me?"
On the surface, it sounded like Andrew was asking for his opinion, but in fact, he was forcing the Principal to agree with him.
Silvia instantly realized that she was quite foolish. Not long ago, she was still worried about Andrew being an incapable wastrel. if something bad were to happen to his father in the future, Andrew would be stripped off of his family fortune and suffer in life. However, it seemed that her concerns were unnecessary.
Even if he had no experience in business and managing companies, with Andrews powerful aura, he could definitely scare away people with malicious intent.
He was unlike Silvia. Silvia was always on guard. She would fight anyone who provoked her, her fists ready to swing a punch. She might look tough on the outside, but in fact, she was weak inside. Anyone could oppress Silvia easily. Ever since her father died, Silvia was unable to keep any of the assets he left for her! They had all been snatched.
As she thought of her experiences in the past few months, Silvia was a little depressed. She didn't even have the mood to laugh at Alina embarrassing herself anymore.
The Principal nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, yes... Mr. Carter, you are right. I will definitely punish this student. If the situation is severe, we will expel them. “
Upon hearing the Principal's words, Alina's face was as pale as a ghost. She could not believe that the man Silvia had hooked up with was so powerful that even the Principal had to obey him!
Alina had always thought that she was more beautiful and outstanding than Silvia. However, the truth was that Silvia rejected being the campus belle, and hence, Alina had a chance to step up.
Alina had a crush on Felix, but in Felix's eyes, there was only Silvia. No matter what she do, Felix would not fall for her at all.
Now, even such an outstanding man had been hoodwinked by Silvia. Were all these men blind?!
Alina stared at Silvia and scrutinized every inch of her. No matter how she looked at Silvia, Alina still could not see how Silvia could be better than her.
Alina's eyes had turned red in jealousy, but there was nothing she could do to Silvia. Alina had worked hard for so long and finally could defeat Silvia. To her dismay, this man had not only saved Silvia, he had also brought big trouble upon Alina.
"Mr. Donald..." Alina was not willing to give up, so she wanted to explain her circumstance. However, before she could even say a word, the Principal had given her a warning look. Alina was so frightened that she had to keep her mouth shut.“
CHAPTER 1143
Andrew narrowed his eyes and said, "Mr. Donald, I believe that you will give us a fair and just decision.“
The Principal hurriedly nodded and said, “Don't worry, Mr. Carter. We will deal with this matter fairly."
Although the Principal said that it would be a fair judgment, everyone present knew that the Principal was on Silvia's side. Even if the others were dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do at all. Moreover, they were the ones who had started the fight after all. What Silvia had done was deemed as 'self-defense‘.
Andrew grabbed Silvia's hand and said, “Let's not talk about this today. Let‘s talk about my dear Silvia's grades first."
Upon hearing that Andrew did not want to talk about that matter, the Principal quickly waved his hand and said, "Alina and the other students, please go over to my office and wait for me."
Alina was very reluctant as she tried to find a glimmer of hope, “Mr. Donald, I..."
The Principal waved his hand impatiently and said, ”Hurry up and go. Don't make a fuss here, otherwise... no one will be able to get you out of this!" The Principal did not say the last few words loudly, but he knew that Alina was smart enough to understand.
After driving away Alina and others, the Principal immediately put on a flattering smile and said, "Mr. Carter, I‘ve already learned about Silvia's grades and was just about to report it to you."
Andrew said, "It's not that Silvia is not good at her studies, it's because she has not found a suitable lecturer and the right studying technique for herself. Mr. Donald, as long as she can find the right technique, she would surely be the best student in the entire university."
Andrew's words made Silvia's blood boil with desire. She really liked it when a man protected her unconditionally.
Silvia always assumed that Andrew regarded her as a useless delinquent student. Little did she know, in his opinion, she was not a poor student, and was actually a genius!
In the twenty years of her life, apart from her parents, that b‘stard Andrew was the only one who was confident about Silvia when it came to her studies.
Even if this was all an act, Silvia felt that this man did not seem to be as annoying as before! And if he let her eat meat. perhaps, she would even think that he was a little cute.
The Principal leaned over and said with a smile, "Yes, yes. That's what I've learned about her too. Silvia is smart and hard-working, so it must be the lecturers‘ fault that her grades are not improving."
Damn it! Silvia was sure that she would be so proud that she could fly into the sky if the two continued to flatter her.
"Mr. Donald, Mr. Carter, please excuse me. I want to go back to class first." Silvia felt that she should avoid listening to their exaggerated compliments in order to avoid inflating her ego. Hence, she decided to leave the place.
"Well, okay." Andrew responded to her. However, before she left, he grabbed her again. He rubbed her head, lowered his head and kissed her gently. "Have a great time at class. I'll pick you up after class."
He had just kissed her in front of the Principal! This man was too bold and reckless.
Silvia blushed and did not dare to raise her head up. "There's no need."
"Be a good girl and listen to me!" He said. Looking at her stunned and silly look, he could no longer hide the smile in his eyes. At that moment, he had already forgotten about the words that she said which made him furious that morning.
Silvia felt like he was making fun of her so she glared at him and turned around to get out of the room. She had never felt so embarrassed before... Until she had met him!
......
Walking out of the office, Silvia bumped into Prince and Lemur. They had come over after hearing about the morning's incident. When they met Silvia, they stared at her like she was a rare animal at a zoo. "Boss, you're the talk of the town again!"
"This is not the first time anyway. What's there to make a fuss about it?“ Silvia did not want to talk to them about Andrew, so she tried to get away quickly.
"Boss, you used to be famous for getting into fights and your grades, but it's different this time." Given the exceptional circumstances, Prince and Lemur were not willing to let Silvia go that easily.
They followed her closely and spoke continuously, "Boss, we never expected that you would lie to us. This man was the man who took you away when you were drunk the last time. Blotie got a photo of him, so don't deny it!"
Well, since they knew about it, there was nothing Silvia could hide from them anymore. She shrugged her shoulders and said, "So what? Does that mean that I've got a secret relationship with him?"
"We can't wait for you to have a secret relationship with him, okay? We're worried that you actually don't!" Prince and Lemur said simultaneously as if they had planned this out beforehand.
Silvia really had no way to deal with the two of them. “You guys..."
Prince and Lemur trapped Silvia in the middle, and they pushed her from both sides. "Boss, we just want to know who that man is. We want to know what kind of big shot he is that even Mr. Donald had to speak so politely to him. That's not something a normal person can do, isn't it?"
Lemur nodded and repeated, "Yeah, Boss. We are really happy for you, but who is he?"
Sometimes, Prince and Lemur could be even nosier than women. If they didn't get the information they wanted to know from her, they would pester her until she tells them.
After thinking for a while, Silvia thought that the truth would come to light sooner or later, so she gave them an answer, “He's from the Carter family!"
"Hmm?" Prince and Lemur nodded. Both of them stretched their necks and looked at Silvia, waiting for her to elaborate more on it, but after waiting for some time, Silvia did not speak at all. It seemed like she did not intend to tell them anything more.
Prince was so anxious, he was on the verge of going insane, “Boss, you're teasing us, aren't you? How can you not know how awful it feels being left hanging like this?"
Lemur agreed and said, "Boss, Prince is right. You should be able to understand how eager we are now to know about that man. In fact, we want to know about him not because we are curious, it's because we care about you."
In the past, Prince and Lemur regarded Felix as a man who was ready to take on a challenge. Hence, he actually fancied the feisty and un-ladylike Silvia! Now, there was another man who was not afraid of death! Hence, Prince and Lemur‘s curiosity was exploding.
Silvia smiled and said, "I've already told you, haven‘t I?“
Prince and Lemur wailed, "What did you say?" Silvia repeated, "I said, he's from the Carter family."
"You've only mentioned his surname, and there are so many Carters in this world, how would we know who he is?"
As he said this, Prince suddenly thought of something, "He's from the Carter family, and he's such a big shot... Could he be... No, no, that's absolutely impossible. It can't be that Mr. Carter. it can't be...“
Lemur knew who Prince was talking about. "Yes, yes, I don't think that's possible. I heard that Mr. Carter is an old man. This Carter guy definitely hasn‘t even hit thirty. It's definitely not him, no way."
CHAPTER 1144
Their eyes shifted to Silvia at once and said pitifully, “Boss, please. Please tell us who he is."
Silvia added, "Yes, it's impossible for him to be the legendary Mr. Carter of Madison City. But, have you guys never thought if he has a son or something?"
Upon hearing Silvia's words, Prince and Lemur were enlightened, "Boss, is that man Mr. Carter's son? Is he really the son of the most influential man in Madison City?"
Silvia thought for a moment and said, “I'm not sure, but it's very likely.“
Prince and Lemur exclaimed, "Boss, you've hit the jackpot. Do you realize that you've found a gem?"
Silvia rolled her eyes at them and said, ”What do you mean by jackpot? Besides, I don't think he's a gem at all. He's just a nuisance that I can't get rid of."
Prince and Lemur looked at Silvia with a contemptuous look in their eyes. "We are not girls. Don't show off in front of us like this, we won't envy you."
Silvia did not mean to do that at all. She was just telling the truth. Since when did she show off in front of them?
Prince said again, "Boss, when you meet such a good man, you should hold on to him. Don't think about other things anymore. Let me tell you, with him as your backing, you can do whatever you want in Madison City."
With Andrew's backing, she could do whatever she wanted in Madison City. Just thinking about it was enough to make Silvia excited.
However, that was what the others saw on the surface. But in front of Andrew, she had no freedom at all. She couldn‘t even eat the roast chicken that she wanted to eat. How could she do whatever she wanted in Madison City?
Silvia sighed. "It's not as simple as you think. Let's not talk about it anymore. Don‘t ever mention this guy in front of me again."
Silvia didn't want to talk about him, but Prince and Lemur were so excited that none of them were listening to what she was saying.
Lemur said, "In fact, I still have some doubts. Boss, how did you meet such an influential person? It's true that you are pretty, but you're not feminine at all. Normally, any man who has good taste wouldn't like a girl like you."
For example, Lemur and Prince never regarded her as a woman. She was like a brother to them.
Prince nodded vigorously, indicating that he agreed with Lemur.
Silvia immediately flung her fists at the two of them and warned, “You two better be careful of what you say. Do you need to keep reminding me that I‘m not ladylike?“
She was self-aware and she knew her own personality very well. They might not like it, but as long as there was someone who would appreciate her, nothing would bother her at all.
Her Fellx was a great example, wasn‘t he? He was the man who knew how to appreciate her strengths and beauty.
Her Felix had once told her that she only needed to be herself and no matter how she looked, she would still be the best. He would like her no matter what.
As she thought of her Felix who had disappeared for a long time, Silvia became a little more depressed. Would he ever come back? Even if they could not be together, she would be content as long as he could come back safely.
"Boss, then tell us, how did you meet Andrew? How did he fall in love with you?" Prince and Lemur continued to gossip.
Their encounter was a thorn in Silvia's heart. Could she tell them that Norman Turner had tricked her and Andrew ended up paying a huge sum of money and brought her home?
Of course not. She couldn't say such an embarrassing thing, so she told them, "I told you not to ask. Why are you still asking? Do you want to get beaten up?“
Prince and Lemur went all out and said, "Boss, even if you threaten us, we still want to know. Just tell us, we promise that we won't tell the others."
There was nothing she could do to these two people. Therefore, Silvia casually made up a story. ”It was raining heavily that day and he didn't have an umbrella with him so he came over to me and borrowed my umbrella. That was how we met."
Prince and Lemur rolled their eyes at her and said, "If you don't want to share the story of how you two met each other, then just be straightforward with us. You don't have to make up such a lousy story. Do you think that we are fools who would actually believe it?“
"Are you two not fools though?" Silvia shrugged and smiled. "Stop being nosy already. Let's go back to the classroom."
"It's lunch break now, why are we going back to the classroom?“ Prince and Lemur did not manage to find out how they met, so they were dispirited and did not want to talk to Silvia.
"Let's go out for lunch then." Silvia looked at Prince and Lemur. "I want to eat roast chicken. You two will pay."
"It's of course not a big deal to treat you to roast chicken, but Boss, we have one condition." Lemur said boldly.
As expected, as soon as he said that, Silvia immediately punched him on his shoulder. "How dare you negotiate with me? It seems like you're asking for a beating huh?"
"Boss, of course we don't want to get beaten up. We're just curious." They really wanted to know the story of how they met, so much so that they were willing to take the risk of getting beaten up by her.
"Okay, I'll agree to your conditions." She really wanted the roast chicken so she agreed to it first.
As for the story of how they met, she could just make up one. They wouldn‘t know if it was true anyway.
"Hurray! Boss, you can order as much as you want." Prince patted Lemur's wallet and continued, "Lemur has enough money, just eat to your heart's content."
Lemur was so excited to find out about the story that he didn't care that Prince was patting his wallet. Besides, it was just a few roast chickens anyway.
The three of them walked out of the campus happily. As they were on their way to the restaurant, they would occasionally laugh out loudly whenever they talked about something funny.
However, Silvia's hearty laugh stopped in an instant when she saw a man. "Isn't that bastard Andrew still talking to the chancellor? Why was he at the school gate? When did he come out?"
Silvia quickly hid behind Prince and Lemur, trying to avoid his sight. However, she did not expect that he had already seen her. "Why are you hiding? Come here!"
Since Andrew had caught her, Silvia had no choice but to walk to him obediently. She looked so timid, like a child who had done something wrong, and did not even dare to make a sound.
At this time, Silvia only hoped that Prince and Lemur would be smart enough to not mention the roast chicken that they were going to have.
"Hello, Young Master Carter! We are Boss'... Oh no, we are Silvia's classmates. I'm Prince, and he is Lemur. Nice to meet you!" They had finally met this legendary big shot, and they were starstruck. They looked even more eager to brownnose Andrew compared to the female students who saw him earlier!
CHAPTER 1145
Silvia wanted to remind Prince and Lemur that Andrew was an arrogant and self-centered guy, who had behaved indifferently when the Principal was speaking to him. She wanted to tell them that they should just give up trying to get close to him.
If Andrew ignored them, not only would they feel ashamed, she would feel embarrassed too.
But to think about it, Andrew was in a relationship with her, so if he was to look down on them, that would mean that he was looking down on her too.
However, something unexpected had happened. Andrew did not show his usual arrogance at all. Instead, he nodded politely and said, "Nice to meet you guys!“
Although it was just a short greeting, Prince and Lemur were already over the moon. Silvia was confused. Andrew was being such an indifferent fellow when the Principal greeted him, but now, he actually responded to Prince and Lemur. Sure enough, this man would only do things according to his mood, and regardless of the people that he was dealing with.
Prince was excited that he was able to talk to his idol, so he said, "Young Master Carter, we are going out for some roast chicken. Do you want to come with us?"
Silvia didn't expect that Prince would play her out by accident. She immediately reached out her hand and pinched him on the arm as she said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Why on earth did she befriend these idiots? Did they even realize that they had just pushed her into the flames?
"Boss...” Prince turned his head and looked at Silvia. When he saw that Silvia was staring at him, he immediately 'got' the message. "Um, Young Master Carter, I guess you don't eat these kinds of food, do you?"
Prince thought that Silvia was trying to use this method to remind him that Andrew was not used to such food and that he would not be able to bring himself to reject his offer out of politeness.
Silvia rolled her eyes. At that instant, she really wished that she could turn invisible so that she could get herself out of such an embarrassing and hopeless situation.
"Of course not." Andrew said politely. He reached out his hand and pulled Silvia into his arms. "If you guys don't mind, I would like to go with you guys. I happened to have something to say to Silvia too anyway."
She had just left him 30 minutes ago, and she was already trying to sneak out to get some roast chicken? Did she think that that one month ban was a joke?
Prince and Lemur were surprised that their idol Andrew had actually agreed to join them for a meal. They exclaimed, "Young Master Carter, it's great that you can have lunch with us!"
Prince and Lemur shifted their gaze towards Silvia. With their eyes, they were telling her that it was almost impossible to find such a rich and handsome man, so she should stop complaining about it. She should please him so that she could control him in her hands. She must not let him slip through her fingers.
Silvia was speechless.
At that instant, Silvia told herself that from now onwards, she must be careful while befriending anyone. She did not want anymore friends who would start forgetting about their principles whenever a rich and handsome guy appears around them.
Having no principles was not a big deal, it's just that she did not want Andrew to think that she was unpresentable in the eyes of the world.
Because of Prince and Lemur, the plan had changed.
Originally, Prince and Lemur were supposed to treat Silvia to some roast chicken, but now, Andrew was also present at the dining table.
He sat next to her and responded to Prince and Lemur's questions politely. There was not a hint of his usual self-righteous and arrogance at all.
Silvia pouted her lips and she was extremely dissatisfied with Andrew. Whenever she was alone with him, he would always act so high and mighty, and would always treat her indifferently. On top of that, she had never seen him being enthusiastic about her except when he was in bed. Now that he was being so friendly towards Prince and Lemur, Silvia really could not help but feel displeased.
Andrewa noticed Silvia's dissatisfaction, so he grabbed her hand under the table and drew circles on her palm with his fingertips. “What's wrong? Are you upset?"
"What do you think?" He clearly knew why she was upset, but he still asked her in such a hypocritical way. At that very moment, Silvia really wished that she could just give him a good beating.
He raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "What do I think?"
What kind of tone was that? Was he threatening her?
Silvia really wanted to talk back at him, but when she saw the evil look in his eyes, she immediately chickened out and said, "I'm not upset!"
Andrew said, "Then why don't you show me your smile?."
Bastard! Did he really think that she was an escort who was accompanying him for a meal? Was he stupid or something?
Therefore, Silvia showed him an expression which was uglier than when she was crying. At the same time, she wanted to pull her hand away, but Andrew held on to it tightly.
He said, "The food is here."
Silvia looked up and saw that the waiter was walking over with the roast chicken that she had been looking forward to for a long time.
The waiter served the roast chicken on the table and introduced, "This is our signature dish, roast chicken. It's crispy outside and juicy on the inside. Please enjoy."
The chicken was roasted to a golden brown and it's aroma was filling up the entire room. Silvia was so hungry that she was about to drool. She picked up the fork and was about to reach out for the chicken. However, Andrew grabbed onto her left hand tightly, as if he was giving her a warning.
"Boss, isn‘t this your favorite roast chicken? Why aren't you eating?" Prince and Lemur each took a piece and stuffed it into their mouth. “I haven't eaten this for a long time. Wow, it tastes so good. It's crispy, delicious, and not too greasy."
If it hadn't been the first time that Prince and Lemur had met Andrew, Silvia would definitely have thought that the two of them were undercover agents whom Andrew had appointed to keep an eye on her.
They could have eaten it quietly. Why did they have to comment about the taste? It was not like she had never eaten the roast chicken from this place. Did they have to be so gabby?
Silvia was so hungry that she was swallowing her saliva. She reached out her hand and tugged the hem of Andrew's shirt under the table. Then, she blinked her beautiful big eyes and looked at him pitifully. "Young Master Carter..."
Since Andrew had been friendly to them, Prince and Lemur said enthusiastically, ”Young Master Carter, aren't you going to eat any?"
Andrew shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry yet.“
If he wasn't hungry, why did he come? It was obviously because he didn‘t want her to eat her favorite roast chicken.
Silvia glared at him ferociously. In her mind, she had already cut him into pieces over and over again.
"The weather is quite warm lately so you probably don't feel like having roast chicken. Let's have something light then." Andrew ignored Silvia's plea and put a plate of salad in front of her.
"Andrew, you..." Silvia was so angry that she wanted to curse at him, but she held back and finally said, "I'm not hungry either!"
Under Andrew's supervision, Silvia watched as Prince and Lemur devoured the crispy golden roast chicken. She was already salivating so much that she was going to drool but still couldn‘t even take a bite of it.
Silvia felt that sooner or later, that bastard Andrew Carter would definitely torture her to death!
After coming out of the restaurant, Silvia didn't say a word at all. However, Prince and Lemur were both in a good mood. "Young Master Carter, please come to our campus more often to see Silvia."
