CHAPTERS 1251 - 1255
CHAPTER 1251
Andrew's bad mood made his subordinates, who were already trembling with fear due to his presence, feel like they were walking on thin ice. Everyone was being so careful that they would deliberately control their own breathing, for fear that they would accidentally offend their boss.
Eugene Elliot was Andrew's personal assistant so he had been working by Andrew's side during the day. He knew that Andrew's mood was surprisingly good that day and he had even let Eugene get off work two hours earlier.
Getting off work early was something that he had never dared to imagine.
Everyone who worked by Andrew's side knew that he was a workaholic. In their company, they would only get to work overtime. Getting off work early was not a thing at all.
It was the first time that day. When he heard that Andrew was letting him off that afternoon, Eugene could not believe his ears. After confirming the news, he was so happy that he had invited several of his colleagues to celebrate at Phantasy Nightclub.
It had only been a few hours, but his boss looked gloomy like a phantom. What on earth happened within that period?!
Eugene could not figure out what had happened to his boss, so he turned to Dr. Thames for help. A woman was much more sensitive than a man. Perhaps Dr. Thames could figure it out.
Dr. Thames shook her head gently. She asked Eugene not to put his hope on her. She would not say anything about it even if she knew. They all knew that their boss hated it when people were to speak nonsense, and Dr. Thames would not be that stupid to push Andrew's buttons.
Just as everyone was trembling with fear, Andrew asked grumpily, “Didn't you say that there's an event tonight?"
Stanley quickly answered, "Yes Sir, it's going to start very soon."
With Andrew's presence, no one dared to speak. The atmosphere in the private room was very depressing. Eugene really did not want to see his boss' face even after he had gotten off work.
After thinking for a while, Eugene came up with an excuse, "Sir, my girlfriend has just sent me a message that she has a clogged drain at home, so I'll have to go now to help her."
"A clogged drain? Are you a plumber?" Andrew, who had never cared about his subordinate's private life, blurted out such a sentence. He frowned and turned to look at Eugene. "Let me tell you about women. The more you spoil her, the more she will not forget how good you were to her. Women are fickle and they will never be grateful."
“Sir, I..." Eugene wiped off his cold sweat. The truth was that his girlfriend treated him very well. She would never cause any trouble for Eugene, and the clogged drain was just an excuse to get himself out of this place.
"No one is allowed to leave without my permission." Andrew gulped down the liquor in his glass, and his sharp gaze swept across the people in the room. In the end, his gaze fell on Eugene. “Are you leaving or not?"
"Sir, I'll just ask my girlfriend to look for a plumber instead." Since his boss had said so, if he still insisted on leaving, he might risk losing his job. In order to keep his highly paid job, Eugene had no choice but to stay.
Andrew looked at Stanley, who was pouring him his drink, and said, "Stanley, treat all the customers tonight. Pass the message and let them eat and drink as much as they want."
"Sir, no... that's not .” Stanley had spent a lot of money for the event this time. He was thinking that he would be recovering the capital that he had put into the event that night itself, how could he let his boss do such a thing?
Andrew raised his eyebrows and asked, "Hmm?"
“Sir, let's not talk about the event first. We've spent a lot of money for the finale alone. If everything is on the house, we are definitely going to lose money." Even if Andrew was rich and did not care about the money that they will be earning that night, he should not have splurge like this. Although Andrew didn't care about his money, Stanley did.
Stanley was distressed at the thought of letting those strangers eat and drink for free. It felt worse than cutting off his flesh.
"Who's the owner of this place though? You or me? Hmm?" Andrew asked in an indifferent tone.
"Of course it's you, Sir. I'll send someone to broadcast the news to everyone then." Stanley did not dare to disobey Andrew's order. He was only managing Phantasy Nightclub for Andrew. In the end, Andrew was still the owner.
Stanley felt that as an employee, it would be enough for him to do his job well. He should not go against his boss. Otherwise, he would be the one to suffer.
...............
There was a special event coming up that night, and the advertisement had already been published half a month ago. Therefore, there was a huge tum-up. Even Prince, Lemur, and Audrey were there to join the fun.
Audrey's purpose of coming to Phantasy Nightclub was not to watch the shows. She was here so that she would not miss out on any chances to meet a rich bachelor.
Prince and Lemur, on the other hand, did come for the shows. However, with Audrey around, Prince had completely forgotten about the reason he was here. All he could think of was how he could please Audrey.
He had even thought of getting Audrey drunk, so that he could get closer to her. However, Prince could only think about it, he did not have the courage to do so.
"Audrey, what would you like to drink?" Prince flipped through the menu on the table. "It's not good for the ladies to drink too much liquor. Why don't you have a glass of fruit juice? It would be good for your skin.”
"Sure, I'll just have that." Because of what had happened here the last time, Audrey was somewhat worried. No matter what, she must not let herself get drunk and cause any trouble again. Otherwise, she would not be as lucky as before.
Prince then said, "Lemur, why don’t we all order fruit juices then?"
Lemur nodded and said, "I'm here for the show tonight. I don't mind anything."
If they really wanted to drink, they would have gone to Starie Blotie. It was a bar owned by someone who they knew, so they would not have to worry getting into trouble getting drunk there.
However, things were different at Phantasy Nightclub. This was a paradise for the rich. There were countless illegal doings going on every single day, but no one had a way to expose them.
At this moment, the noisy music was turned down and a sweet voice sounded from the public address system. "Dear guests, from the moment you stepped into Phantasy Nightclub, you are our most distinguished guest. We hope that each and every one of our guests will have a good time here. Now, we shall reveal the highly anticipated special event for tonight..."
After piquing everyone's interest, the announcer paused for a while, in an attempt to keep everyone in suspense. Then, the mellow voice sounded again, "Our finale for tonight's event is that our boss will be paying for everything tonight!"
Stanley was a cunning person. Since he could not change Andrew's mind, he had decided to use a little trick. He would never allow the customers to watch the shows for free.
Meanwhile, none of the customers knew what the actual finale was. At this time, when they heard the news that everything would be on the house that night, they were stoked. Nobody cared about what the real finale actually was.
CHAPTER 1252
Prince and Lemur's families were fairly rich, but they were still students. Their pocket money came from their parents, so they could be short of cash occasionally. sometimes. Upon hearing that everything would be on the house, they were jumping for joy.
Audrey knocked on the table and reminded them. "It's just some fruit juice anyway, why are you two so happy over such a small matter. Can't you guys not behave like losers?"
"What fruit juice? Of course, I'm going to start ordering all the food and drinks I want. I'll order all the expensive stuff we can't normally afford.” They were indeed here for the performances, but now that everything was free of charge, how could they not eat and drink to their hearts' content?
"Please pay more attention to your image, would you?" Audrey was flabbergasted. If a rich bachelor showed up, these two losers would probably scare him away. Audrey had to stay away from Lemur and Prince so that they would not ruin her plans. So, she got up and said, "I need to use the washroom."
Prince said, "Audrey, you're beautiful even without any makeup. You don't have to keep going to the washroom to touch up on your makeup."
" I'm not going to the washroom to fix my makeup, okay?" said Audrey. "I need to use the toilet."
The washroom was at the end of the corridor, and she had to pass by the VIP rooms to get there.
Every time she walked past the VIP rooms, Audrey would slow down her footsteps, thinking that she might get the opportunity to bump into a rich bachelor.
However, all of the doors to the VIP rooms were tightly shut. Not to mention a rich bachelor, there seemed to be no one around at all.
As Audrey walked past the second last room, a man was entering the room. In that swift moment, Audrey noticed Andrew sitting in the middle of that room.
"Young Master Carter?"
Audrey quickly gave it another look, but before she could see clearly, the door was already closed.
Audrey tried hard to recall the scene that she had just seen. It seemed like Young Master Carter had a glass of liquor in his hand and there was a beautiful woman sitting next to him. The woman was dressed conservatively, so she probably was not an escort... If that was the case, who was she?
"Could it be that Andrew's cheating on Silvia?!"
Thinking of this possibility, Audrey's nature's calling disappeared in an instant. She hurriedly rushed back to their table.
Audrey tugged Prince's arm and asked, "Prince, did you say that Silvia is bringing Andrew home today?"
Prince nodded and said, "Yeah. Why would I lie to you about it?"
Audrey pursed her lips and thought for a moment. "I passed by one of the VIP rooms while I was on my way to the washroom and I think I saw Young Master Carter in there. I'm not sure if I've seen it wrongly. But it can't be, my eyesight has always been good."
"That‘s impossible. Boss is bringing Young Master Carter home tonight to meet his mother-in-law law. How could he Ieave Boss at home and come to the Phantasy Nightclub by himself?" Even if Prince were to be beaten to death, he would not believe that Andrew would come here at times like this. "I think you might be hallucinating, Audrey."
"He went home with Silvia to meet Mrs. Turner? But... the person I saw just now really looked like him." If it was someone else, there might be a possibility that Audrey would make a mistake. However, Andrew was the one who made Audrey lose her job as a cabin crew. She would never mistake anyone for him.
"Well, if you want to know if that guy is really Young Master Carter, it's easy. Just call Boss and we'll know if he is with her now." Prince had always wanted to impress Audrey. As he spoke, he was already looking for Silvia's phone number in his phone.
Audrey hurriedly stopped him. "Wait. This place is a playground for the rich. It's not surprising that Young Master Carter is here anyway. Why are we making a fuss about it?"
Prince put away his cell phone and chuckled. "If you think that we shouldn't call her, then we won't. I‘ll listen to everything you say."
Although it was not surprising that Andrew would come here, when Audrey thought of the woman sitting next to him, she was a little worried. When she saw her, the woman was still a little distance away from him, but who knew if they would get closer, right?
Audrey's intuition told her that the woman sitting next to Andrew was not as harmless as she looked. After thinking for a while, Audrey said again, "Prince, I think it's better to give Silvia a phone call and ask her about it. If Young Master Carter is at home, then I can stop worrying about it.”
No matter what Audrey said, Prince would never feel annoyed. He took out his mobile phone once again and dialed Silvia's phone number. It took Silvia quite a while to answer the call. "Boss, I hope that I'm not disturbing your sleep."
Silvia's voice was a little soft. "Just say what you want to say."
Prince said, "Didn't you bring Young Master Carter home today? I was just concerned about you. How did it go?"
Silvia said impatiently, "What are you trying to say?"
Prince added, "Lemur,Audrey and I are at Phantasy Nightclub now. Audrey went to the washroom and saw a man in the VIP room who looked like your Young Master Carter... So she asked me to call you to ask you about it."
Silvia, who was on the other end of the line, said, "So what if it's him? So what if it's not him?"
Prince said, "We, we are..."
Seeing that Prince was all over the place, Audrey took over the phone and said, "Silvia, did you get into a fight with Young Master Carter? If that's the case, then come over now. There is a woman seated next to him, and her intentions seem shameless. If you don't come over now, I'm afraid something would happen between them."
"We have nothing to do with each other anymore. It's up to him who he wants to be with. I'm not interested in knowing." After that, Silvia hung up the phone.
Silvia really wanted to ignore Andrew. He could do whatever he wanted! From now on, they would live their own lives without caring about each other. But after listening to Audrey, Silvia was obviously bothered. She could not control herself anymore. After informing her mother, Silvia immediately rushed to Phantasy Nightclub.
Fortunately, her house was not too far away from Phantasy Nightclub. It took her only 20 minutes to get there by taxi.
When Silvia arrived, Audrey asked Prince to receive at the entrance. When Prince met up with Silvia, he said, "Boss, we grew up together, but how does Audrey know you better than I do?"
According to their understanding of Silvia, they thought that Silvia wouldn't come if she had said so. However, Audrey insisted that Silvia would be here. In the end, Audrey was right.
Silvia did not want to talk any nonsense, so she asked, "Where is he?"
Prince replied, "He's in the VIP room."
Silvia asked, "Which one?"
Prince, "I don't know which one, only Audrey knows. Boss, don't worry, let's go in first and ask her."
"It's 8808." Audrey came over and pointed in the direction of the VIP rooms. "Silvia, go and take a look at him. No matter what state he is in, drunk or not, you must not let him fall into the hands of another woman."
As soon as Silvia heard which room Andrew was in, she turned around and walked towards that direction. At that moment, she could not hear what Audrey was saying to her at all.
CHAPTER 1253
Audrey quickly caught up with Silvia and tried to talk to her, "Silvia, I asked you to come over to prevent something bad from happening. It doesn't mean that Young Master Carter has cheated on you. You have to calm down. Don't be rash, okay?"
Audrey‘s words were like cold water splashing over Silvia's head, putting her into her right mind. She halted her hasty pace and looked at Audrey listlessly.
Looking at Silvia's empty and lifeless eyes, Audrey panicked. "Silvia, are you alright?"
Silvia murmured, "Why am I here? What did I do just now?"
"Don't scare me, Silvia." Looking at Silvia's confused look, Audrey was so worried that she quickly grabbed Silvia's hand. Audrey was shocked.
Silvia's hands were icy cold and her palms were sweating profusely. Audrey hurriedly held her by her shoulders. "Silvia, are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I'm good." Silvia looked around. and she suddenly felt that her surroundings had become blurry. Audrey, Prince, and Lemur who were all standing in front of her were blurry too.
"Audrey, Prince, Lemur, what's wrong with you guys?" Silvia wanted to reach out to touch their faces, but she felt that her hands were as heavy as lead. It was so heavy that she could not lift up her hand at all.
She could still hear Audrey and the others anxiously shouting at her. However, their voices were getting softer. In the end, she couldn't see anything nor hear anything.
She felt like she had fallen into a dark abyss and no one was willing to give her a hand. She could only continue falling in that bottomless pit.
"Silvia!" "Boss!"
Prince, Lemur and Audrey shouted in unison, but Silvia had already lost her consciousness. She would not wake up no matter how loud they shouted.
Audrey said anxiously, "Prince, go get Young Master Carter here."
Prince nodded and said, "I'm on it."
Audrey added, "Lemur, call 911 now."
"Okay." Lemur took out his mobile phone and dialed 911. After the call had gotten through, he clearly explained their location to the emergency medical dispatcher.
After the call had ended, Lemur took Silvia over from Audrey and said, "Audrey, the ambulance should be arriving very soon. I'll take Boss out of here first. We must not have any delay."
Audrey nodded. "Okay."
The trio usually looked like they were incapable of doing anything huge. All they did was drink and get into fights. However, in such a critical moment, they were all unexpectedly calm.
Audrey was a few years older than them. When something happened to Silvia, she instinctively took up the responsibility to lead the group. Lemur, who was usually quiet, performed well under pressure too.
Being calm did not mean that they did not care about Silvia. It was because they cared for Silvia so much that they were able to calm down. It was only by calming down, they could manage things well and minimize the damage.
......
At VIP room, No. 8808.
The few people in the room watched as Andrew gulped down more liquor. However, no one had the courage to stop him.
Eugene did not dare stop Andrew. As for Dr. Thames, she was not willing to stop Andrew. She wanted him to get drunk so that she could lay her hands on him and execute her plan.
Stanley Pierson, who was loyal to Andrew, was the only one who was bold enough. He stopped refilling Andrew's glass and said, "Sir, you've already finished the whole bottle. You must not drink anymore."
Andrew raised his brows and said in a deep voice, "Refill it!“
Stanley stood still and said, "Sir, you really shouldn't drink anymore. You'll get drunk if you continue to drink."
Andrew looked at Stanley and said, "Refill it!"
Stanley insisted, "Sir..."
Bang!
At this very moment, the door suddenly burst open and a tall man appeared at the door. Other than Andrew, everyone's turned their heads to look at that man.
Seeing that there was someone who had barged into their room, Stanley's first reaction was to stand in front of Andrew. In case of danger, his primary duty was to protect his master.
When he saw that it was Silvia's friend, Stanley did not say anything and took two steps back, so that Prince could see his master.
Eugene knew Prince too, but he did not say anything. Instead, he sat quietly beside Andrew.
Stanley and Eugene both knew Silvia's friends. Dr. Thames, who had always regarded Silvia as an eyesore, of course could recognize him too. Seeing that Prince had barged into the room, Dr. Thames guessed that Silvia might be at the nightclub too.
As long as Silvia, that wretch, was here, it would be impossible for her to lay her hands on Andrew. Hence, tonight's plan would be in vain.
Dr. Thames secretly clenched her fists and forcefully suppressed the resentment in her heart. She believed that as long as she could continue to stay by Andrew's side, she would definitely be able to find an opportunity to carry out her plan.
Stanley, Elliot, and Dr. Thames had always been by Andrew's side. They knew of Silvia's existence, as well as Prince's existence. However, there were still others in the room.
Usually, they had little contact with Andrew. So, it was normal that they did not know much about the people around him.
A guy named Logan thought that this man who had broken into the room would make his master unhappy, so he thought that it was time for him to shine.
He stood forward and shouted, "Do you know who's here? How dare you barge into this room like this? Do you have a death wish?"
The people who were in the room were like little sheep in front of Andrew. But against the outsiders, they were all vicious wolves who would devour their prey without hesitation.
Facing such a scene, Prince was so scared that he shrank his neck and turned to look at Andrew for help. In his heart, Young Master Carter was a very kind and friendly person, and he was considered his friend too.
However, Andrew was still gracefully sipping on his liquor. He did not even take a glance at Prince.
Since his master did not say anything, Logan became even more arrogant. He said, "Get out of here now."
Prince was so scared that he wanted to turn around and run away. However, as soon as he turned around, he thought of the reason for him coming to the room. He looked back and said, "Young Master Carter, I..."
Before Prince could finish his words, Logan roared again, "I asked you to get out of here. Did you not hear me? Or do you want me to deafen you?"
Prince was once again scared out of his wits. However, for Silvia's sake, he decided to throw caution to the wind. "Young... Young Master Carter, Boss has fainted. She's right outside."
"What did you say?" Andrew put down the glass on the table and immediately stood up. But because was drunk, he staggered and almost collapsed on his seat.
Dr. Thames was by his side. She seized the opportunity to help him up. However, before she could even lay a finger on Andrew, he had already stabilized himself and swiftly ran out of the room.
With her arms outstretched, Dr. Thames could feel only an ache in her heart. The hatred in her heart intensified. That damn woman! Who is she to have Andrew's full attention on her?
CHAPTER 1254
"Dr. Thames, Miss Turner has fainted. Why are you still standing there? You should go take a look at her." Stanley was a simple man. He had only two purposes in his life. One was to protect his master, and the other was to earn money for him. He could not tell that Dr. Thames was hostile towards Silvia at all.
However, Stanley was not the only one who did not notice it. Even Andrew did not catch on it too. Dr. Thames had disguised herself so perfectly in front of the others that no one could notice anything strange about her.
Dr. Thames did not want to treat Silvia at all. She had even thought of giving Silvia several tranquilizer injections so that Silvia would never wake up again.
However, she was a rational woman. She knew that before she was fully prepared, she might risk getting exposed and that would ruin everything.
It was true that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with the person she liked, but she was not that stupid to spoil her own plan. Therefore, even if she hated Silvia, Dr. Thames still had to take a look at her and see what was going on with her. If she was needed, she would do her best to save that woman.
Dr. Thames went out of the room with Andrew. Stanley then looked at Logan who had just made a scene. "Logan, do you know who that young man is?"
He was someone who could make their master run out of the room with just a simple sentence, so he was certainly not an ordinary person. Knowing that he got himself into trouble, Logan asked nervously, "Mr. Pierson, who is that man?"
"That man is not someone important, but it is the person behind him who you can't afford to offend." Stanley thought of how much his master cared about Silvia, so he could not help but shake his head. "Women are pleasing to behold, but you should not get involved with any of them. Otherwise, you're doomed forever!"
Stanley thought of Andrew, who was so high and mighty when there was no woman by his side for the past three years. No matter what happened, he would still be an unwavering man.
Ever since Silvia had gotten together with him, Andrew seemed to have changed into a different person. He would smile more often and he was less irritable too.
A woman was like a double-edged sword. She could let a man experience delight like never before, but she could destroy him in the quickest twist of events.
In any case, Stanley would never marry anyone in this life.
Upon hearing this, Logan was confused. He then said in a panic, "Mr. Pierson, please tell me, who on earth did I offend?"
"You've offended the person that you shouldn't offend the most in your entire life." Stanley patted Logan on the shoulder and added, "I'll transfer you out of Madison City. Don't ever let Sir Andrew see you again."
"Mr. Pierson, is this the only way?" Logan was regretting it so much that he could not utter a word at all. Why did he stand out at the wrong time and got himself into such trouble?
Stanley smiled coldly and said, "Of course there are many more interesting ways. Do you want to give it a try?"
Just by looking at Stanley's smile, Logan knew that it was bad news. He shook his head and said, "No, I'll listen to you."
"It’s not like you have another choice other than listening to me anyway." Stanley sighed again. "Go home now and pack up. I'll arrange someone to send you out of Madison City tomorrow."
Having been by Andrew's side for three years, there was one more reason why Stanley was so important to Andrew. He was able to do what Andrew wanted to do well before Andrew could give him his orders.
...............
“Where is she?" Andrew rushed out of the VIP room in a flash. He must see Silvia as soon as possible. Even if that woman had pissed him off, he still could not leave her alone.
Humans were like this most of the time. They would not be interested in the things they could easily get, and they would not cherish it. They were usually interested in things that they wanted but could not get, and would try to get it at all costs.
"They were here just now." Prince looked around and saw that Audrey was waving at them from a distance. He said, "I think they brought her out already."
Andrew once again ran to the entrance like a gust of wind... Before reaching the entrance, he could see that Silvia was lying feebly in Lemur‘s arms with her eyes shut.
Although he knew that Lemur was not interested in Silvia, Andrew was still dissatisfied to see that Lemur was holding Silvia in his arms. He took a few steps forward and pulled Silvia into his embrace. "Dr. Thames, take a look at her right now."
Dr. Thames had just caught up when she heard Andrew shouting at her. To be honest, she hated the fact that Andrew would order her around because of Silvia, but what could she do about it, right?
Did she really dare to stab Silvia to death with ajab?
Since she did not dare to do so, she couId only move forward and check on Silvia. Dr. Thames skillfully examined Silvia's pulse and listened to her heartbeat.
Dr. Thames knew that Silvia was young and energetic. She was not suffering from any illnesses, so it wouldn't be easy for her to faint like this. Therefore, Dr. Thames thought it was very likely that Silvia was faking it.
However, after listening to Silvia's heartbeat and feeling her pulse, Dr. Thames knew that Silvia was definitely not pretending. Her pulse was irregular and she had never seen such a situation throughout her practice as a physician.
Judging from Silvia's irregular pulse, Dr. Thames could only think of one reason. Silvia was suffering from a mental breakdown.
This young lady was hot-tempered. If she did not improve her temper, she would pass out from a breakdown whenever faced with a major psychological trigger.
Looking at Silvia who was in his arms, Andrew frowned and then hugged her tightly. He asked, "What's wrong with her?"
"Don't be too anxious, Master Andrew. Miss Turner caught a cold and that was why she passed out. She will wake up in a bit." Dr. Thames hid the truth from Andrew. Andrew doubted her words at first, but it so happened that Silvia had woken up at this very moment.
Silvia slowly opened her eyes. When she saw that it was Andrew who was holding her, her eyes suddenly turned red. She held back her tears and said, "Take your hands off me. Don't hug me."
Andrew hugged her and refused to let go of her. "Stop talking."
Although Silvia was weak, she was not willing to admit defeat. She shouted at him, "I want you to let me go."
Andrew drank a lot a while ago, so he was starting to get annoyed when he heard Silvia shouting at him. "Silvia, how many times do you want me to tell you about this? In this life, no matter if you're dead or alive, you are my wife. Don't ever think about escaping from me for the rest of your life!"
"Don't ever think about escaping? Then what about the time when you wanted to give me up? Does that mean that if you've decided to let me go, I'll never be able to see you again?" Andrew left without even saying goodbye that night. Silvia's deepest fear was that Andrew would suddenly abandon her, and he might just disappear from her life but not having the ability to do anything about it.
CHAPTER 1255
"No Silvia, there will never be such a day." Andrew never knew that Silvia was so insecure about their relationship.
"There will never be such a day? Didn't you just leave me behind tonight?" Silvia bit her lip tightly so that she could control her tears and speak to him properly. ”Andrew, your family has a strong background. You can do whatever you want, but I can't.“
"I'm just an ordinary student and I‘m just like everyone else. As long as you don't want to see me, I will never be able to get close to you. When you were angry and left me alone at home tonight, have you ever considered my feelings, even for a moment?“
Silvia looked at him and wanted to hear his answer. However, there was no need for Andrew to answer anymore. Just by looking at the look on his face, Silvia already had an answer in her heart. She was never in his consideration.
She removed his hand that was wrapped around her waist and pushed him away. Then, she took two steps back and said, "Andrew, do you know how afraid am I, thinking that you might suddenly disappear from my life one day?"
He did not know. Andrew did not know! If he knew that, he never would have left her house that night.
Andrew's emotions were like surging waves. At this moment, he just wanted to hold her tightly in his arms so that she could feel a sense of security. However, he was left empty-handed.
Silvia avoided him and said firmly, "Andrew, let's take a break."
"Take a break?" She was just telling him how afraid she was of losing him but in the next second, she wanted to break up with him. Upon hearing Silvia's words, Andrew's arm paused in mid-air. He said in a deep voice, "Silvia, do you know what you're talking about?"
Silvia said, “I know better than anyone else what I am talking about. I know what I am doing."
Andrew asked, "Are you breaking up with me now?"
"Andrew, I just need a break. I'm not breaking up with you now, I just want to give both of us some time to think about whether we are meant for each other." Silvia took a deep breath and continued, "If you really consider me as your wife, then please give me some time to think about it. You should also reconsider if I am the one for you."
Once they had thought it through, if he gave her an affirmative answer, then she would definitely go for it. Regardless of the challenges, she would never back out from this relationship and stay by his side for the rest of her life.
To Andrew, he was sure that Silvia was the one for him and there would never be anyone else. From the moment he had decided to marry her, he had never regretted it even once.
However, it was obvious that he had not done enough to give her a sense of security, and that was why she could not believe that he wanted no one but her in this life.
Andrew looked into Silvia‘s eyes. His gaze was deep and complicated. Silvia could not figure out what he was thinking. "Andrew, just for once. Let's spend some time apart and think about our relationship."
Andrew was silent, but Prince and Lemur who were witnessing the entire scene became anxious and said, "Boss, Young Master Carter wants to be with you. Don‘t think about it too much and stop throwing a tantrum with him."
Prince and Lemur were Silvia's friends since childhood. Even they thought that Silvia was just on the outs with Andrew, but Andrew did not think so this time. Under Silvia's gaze, he nodded his head heavily and said, "Okay.“
Young Master Carter agreed that he and Silvia would take a break from each other. Listening to Andrew's answer, Reagan was anxious. "Young Master Carter, our boss is just a capricious and immature young lady. You just need to be more considerate of her, and be more sensible than her. It's a golden opportunity for the two of you to be together. Don't give up on it so easily!"
Audrey secretly pulled Prince away, hinting for him that he should stop talking. Since Silvia had already made up her mind on it, and Young Master Carter had agreed to it too, whatever they say and do would be useless.
“Thanks!" Silvia tried her best to smile and thanked Andrew. Then, she turned around and walked away. The moment she turned around, the tears that she had been trying to hold back burst out in an instant. At that very moment, she did not even know if she was happy or sad about it.
Silvia recalled the day of her father's accident. Before he had gone out of the house, he stroked her head and said to her, "Silvia, I'm going on a business trip and I'll only be back after a week. I want you to take good care of your mother and study hard. I'll bring you something delicious when I'm back, okay?"
"Dad, I can eat delicious food anytime I want. Mom and I just want you to come home safely." Silvia remembered that she was feeling uneasy that day, so she had been holding her father in her arms, not wanting him to leave.
However, Mr. Turner had an appointment with an important client to talk about a business deal, so he could not just call off the trip. Then, in less than an hour after her father had left the house, Silvia received the bad news of her father's death.
Without any warning, her father had completely disappeared from her life.
Not long after, Felix had also completely vanished from her life.
Silvia still remembered the day before Felix had gone missing. He was walking her home that day and he even said to her, "Don't be afraid, Silvia. From now on, I will take care of you and Auntie on Uncle's behalf."
At that time, she said to Felix, "Felix, I don't need you to take care of us. As long as you are here with me, I will not be afraid of anything."
Silvia originally thought that Felix would be by her side for life. Little did she know that she would never see him again after that night... Up till now, she did not even know if he was dead or still alive.
Silvia only knew that Felix was like her father who had disappeared from her life when she was completely unprepared.
Silvia had already gone through the sudden disappearance of the most important person in her life twice. That panic, helplessness, and fear were all the things that she never wanted to experience again.
Therefore, she must find out Andrew's true feelings for her before she gets too deeply involved with him.
"Young Master Carter, I will take good care of her for the next few days and I will not let anything happen to her. As for you, you should also take some time out and think about your relationship with Silvia. Think about whether what you feel for Silvia was out of a man's possessive desire, or was it because you really love her. Find her only when you have an answer." After politely saying these words to Andrew, Audrey turned around and went after Silvia.
Some said that love was like a drug. Audrey thought that it was not exaggerating at all. Love was addicting. Once you're addicted, you could never get out of it.
It was for her, and it was the same for Silvia too. If she could go back in time, Audrey really wished that she would never meet. If she could change history, she also hoped that Silvia would never meet Andrew.
"Boss, Audrey, wait for us." Prince and Lemur hurriedly chased after them. After a while, they turned back to Andrew and said, "Young Master Carter, make sure you think about it, okay? You must come pick our boss up once you've made up your mind. We are sure that Boss likes you."
