CHAPTER 1171
Improve his health?
Upon hearing these words, Andrew frowned and he was a little displeased, "Silvia, were you not satisfied this morning?"
Silvia was stunned, "Huh?"
Just as she replied, she suddenly realized the meaning behind Andrew's words. She immediately gave him a fierce look and said, "What a dirty mind you have there! Can't you think of anything else besides that?“
Looking at her reddened face, Andrew looked at her complacently and even with a hint of viciousness as he said, "Oh, so you didn't mean that at all?"
Silvia really wanted to spit at him in anger, "Dr. Thames said that you need to do some reconditioning because of your old illness, otherwise, you will die sooner or later. This is the medicine that she had prescribed for you."
As soon as he heard about his old illness, Andrew's face fell in an instant, "I know my own body very well. I don't need them to interfere in this."
"Okay, so you want them to stay out of it, then what about me? Do you want me to stay out of it too?" Silvia put her hands on her waist, and she looked rather assertive, "Young Master Carter, just say it and I will not interfere in your matters anymore. Even if you're dead, I will not bother you."
He did not want anyone to meddle in his affairs. However, that was not the case for Silvia. In fact, Andrew wished that Silvia would spend more time minding his business. He hoped that she would only focus on him but on the other hand, he did not want to cooperate with the doctor.
When Andrew was silent, Silvia spoke again, "Since you're not saying anything it would take it a no then. Since that is the case, then what I want you to do now is to take the medicine right away."
Looking at the bitter medicine on the table, Andrew's brows knitted together. "Can you ask that doctor if she's sure this is medicine and not poison?!"
However, Silvia wasn't fooled by him, "Young Master Carter, you just don't want to drink it, do you? How can you say that you're a man if you can't even swallow some medicine? You'd better finish it in three minutes. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it."
This woman was really pushing her luck. Just because he was nice to her, she thought that she could take advantage of him. However, he did not want to do as she pleased, "I don't want to drink it."
Silvia became a little anxious, "It's your own body. I can't drink it for you, can I?"
At that instant, something popped into Andrew's mind and he broke into a wicked smile, "I don't mind you feeding me though."
Looking at his wicked smile, Silvia knew that he was up to no good. She wanted to not care for him, but the voice in her heart told her to keep him safe and healthy. She must make sure that he would live a long life, or else...
Andrew said again, "If you don't feed me, then I won‘t drink it. It's up to you."
"B‘stard, if it wasn't because I would become a widow once you die, I will definitely not mind your business at all." Silvia stared at him fiercely as she said. She picked up the medicine cup, and drank a mouthful. Then, before Andrew could even react, Silvia held his head and kissed him.
She was feeding him with her mouth. After transferring the mouthful of medicine into Andrew's mouth, Silvia let go of him and raised her hand to wipe her mouth, "Ugh, it's so bitter!"
After ingesting the medicine, Andrew licked his lips with a mischievous look on his face, as if he was reminiscing the taste of her lips. "I didn't ask you to feed me like this though."
He clearly enjoyed it but he pretended like he was the victim. Eventually, Silvia couldn't stand him being so annoying so she said, "Andrew, do you really think that I won‘t dare to hit you?"
Andrew obviously knew that she would dare to hit him. Hence, before she could beat him up, he quickly finished up all the remaining medicine within the stipulated time.
Seeing that Andrew was being so obedient, Silvia finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, “From now onwards, I want you to cooperate with Dr. Thames for your treatment. Don't always do whatever you want according to your mood. You have to take care of your body, okay?"
Silvia looked serious as she spoke. It was all because she was really concerned about him. However, this man dared to reply so nonchalantly, "No."
Silvia was at a loss for words.
Forget it! Anyone could tell that he was deliberately trying to annoy her. Therefore, instead of arguing with him now, she might as well monitor him and make sure that he took his medicine in future.
After coming out of Andrew's villa, Silvia took out her mobile phone to make several phone calls. She wanted to meet up with all the senior employees that had worked for her father.
Silvia had always thought that the reason why Wateria Corporation would be this successful was partly because of Uncle Bachman's contributions. Hence, the first person who she had made a phone call to was Uncle Bachman.
Uncle Bachman, on the other side of the phone call, did not sound surprised at all to receive her call. He accepted her request with alacrity and they had agreed to meet up at a tea house which was nearby to Uncle Bachman's place.
Because of his age, Uncle Bachman preferred tea over coffee and desserts. He enjoyed hanging out and drinking tea with his peers at the tea house.
When Silvia arrived at the appointed place, Uncle Bachman was already there. When he saw her, he waved at her, "Silvia, over here."
Silvia hurried over and greeted Uncle Bachman with a smile: "Hi, Uncle Bachman! I haven't seen you for months. How are you doing?"
"I'm good. And you?" Uncle Bachman was an old-timer who had been working alongside Mr. Turner ever since the start of Mr. Turner's business. He was also one of the people who had watched Silvia being born into this world, growing from a little girl into such a beautiful young lady now. Hence, he had always treated Silvia like his own child. "Girl, you seem to have lost a lot of weight."
Silvia poured a cup of tea for Uncle Bachman and smiled as she said, "Uncle Bachman, have you ever seen me being chubby though? I had always been skinny all my life. But then, although I looked thin, I'm actually not that thin."
Silvia's tone was slightly exaggerated and she would even make a few dramatic gestures as she spoke. Looking at her, Uncle Bachman was amused, "Yeah, yeah, how can I forget that. You were very thin when you were a kid. You were so thin that your dad thought you might have some kind of disease and he would take you to different hospitals for check ups. However, all the doctors said that you were very healthy."
Speaking of the past, Silvia was overwhelmed with emotions. “Yeah, my dad was afraid that something would happen to me, so that was why he was so concerned about me. Oh, and I remember that you and the other senior employees would secretly give me some sweets whenever I went over to the office."
As they talked about the past, Uncle Bachman was even more deeply moved. He wiped off the tears that were welling up in the corners of his eyes and said, "A few decades ago, me and others had worked side by side with your dad to start up the business together. Although those days were tough, everyone had a great relationship with each other and we were all focused on growing the company. Those were really the happiest days."
"But until a few months ago, just as Wateria Corporation was expanding its business, your father had suddenly died in a car accident. At that time, the ones who had been working alongside him were shocked by the tragic news. However, we quickly realized that we must keep our spirits up and make sure that Wateria Corporation runs well... However, who could have expected that Norman Turner, that b‘stard would sell us out."
Speaking of Norman and his gang, Uncle Bachman gritted his teeth in hatred. If he would ever get the chance, he really wished that he could cut off Norman's flesh and throw it into the sea to feed the fishes.
In the past, when Mr. Turner was still alive, Norman and his gang were honest and hardworking people. Because of that, everyone at the company trusted them.
CHAPTER 1172
After Mr. Turner's death, Uncle Bachman had suggested that they should appoint Norman as the interim CEO of Wateria Corporation and let him lead the others in expanding the company until Silvia was mature and capable enough to take over the company.
After putting forward his opinion, most of the old-timers at the company agreed to it. Then, they met up with Mrs. Turner and consulted her.
Mrs. Turner was of the same opinion, so she agreed to let Norman fill in as the CEO of Wateria Corporation, hoping that he could lead the company to greater heights. Norman would then hand over the company to Silvia after her graduation two years later.
However, no one had expected that Norman was an ungrateful man. After taking control of Wateria Corporation, he immediately betrayed Mrs. Turner's trust.
Within the shortest time, he had fired all the senior executives in the company and appointed his men as the head of all the important departments in the company. In just three months, Wateria Corporation was already under Norman's full control.
"Uncle Bachman, you are not to blame. The only mistake that we've made was that we've trusted the wrong person. However, we did learn a valuable lesson this time so we just have to make sure that we don't repeat the same mistakes again."
Silvia knew that Uncle Bachman had been blaming himself for what had happened. However, it was not his fault at all. He did what he thought was right. No one had expected Norman to turn out like this.
Uncle Bachman sighed, "Silvia, if it wasn't because of my suggestion, Wateria Corporation wouldn‘t have been snatched away by him and the company wouldn't even fall into such a state at all.“
“Uncle Bachman, we all now know what Norman has been plotting. Even if you've never made your suggestions, he would have come up with other ways to take over the company too." Silvia was certain that Norman would definitely do that because he was also the one behind her father's accident. It was evident that Norman had been scheming to steal Wateria Corporation away from Silvia.
"Silvia, I know you will be getting back your shares very soon, and I really want to help you out, but..." Uncle Bachman wiped his tears and continued, "I feel ashamed to go back to the company. Besides, I'm old now. I won‘t be of much help to you too."
Before meeting Uncle Bachman, Silvia had already expected that he would reject her invitation to return to the company. Therefore, she was already mentally prepared for it. "Uncle Bachman, I'm here today to catch up with you and see how you're doing. Although you no longer work for Wateria, I still wish for you to have a good life. I'll ensure that you receive the annual dividend payments you deserve."
Wateria Corporation was something that Uncle Bachman could find sustenance in. He really wanted to make some contributions to the company, but he was worried that he would make things worse like he did the last time. "Silvia, although I can't go back, I can recommend someone who is definitely capable of helping you to manage the company."
Uncle Bachman was someone who Silvia could trust. The moment she heard that Uncle Bachman had someone who he could recommend to her, she was a little excited, "Uncle Bachman, who is it?"
Uncle Bachman said, "Wayne Zachary!"
Wayne Zachary!
Silvia thought about it carefully, but couldn't recall anything about this person. "Uncle Bachman, is Wayne an employee of Wateria Corporation?"
"Yes, he has been working in Wateria Corporation for several years now and in my opinion, he is a very capable man." Uncle Bachman then sent Wayne's contact information to Silvia, "Of course, it's just a suggestion. It's up to you whether you want him to work for you."
Silvia needed someone who was capable of managing the company and they must be someone who she could trust upon. However, no matter what, Silvia had already made up her mind that she would meet up with Wayne first.
After leaving the tea house, Silvia immediately contacted Wayne. Coincidentally, Wayne was free too, so the two had decided to meet at a café near Wateria Corporation.
Then, Silvia drove straight to the café. When she was about to arrive at the café, she received a phone call from Andrew, "Where are you?"
Silvia said, "I've got an appointment to go to now."
Andrew emphasized, "I asked where you are, not what you're doing."
This man just liked to mess around sometimes. Silvia was worried that Andrew would come over and mess up her plan, so she simply responded with a random location, "I'm at Preston Building."
After Andrew had hung up the phone, Silvia smiled complacently as she thought, "Huh! You'll never find me though."
However, before Silvia could be proud of herself for a little while longer, she saw Andrew, dressed in a formal suit, at the café where she was supposed to meet Wayne.
Sitting across from Andrew was a beautiful woman. She was very well dressed and she was exuding elegance. Silvia did not know what they were talking about and they seemed like they were having a great time chit-chatting.
D‘mn it, so that phone call was not to ask her where she was so he could go over to find her. Instead, it was to confirm her location so that he could meet up with that vixen behind her back.
Just a day ago, she thought that although Andrew had all the shortcomings which any other rich and spoiled trust fund baby had, he was at least not a promiscuous man.
However, now it seemed like that was not the case at all. Just look at him, he was in such a good mood.
At that instant, Silvia had already forgotten what was her purpose of coming to this café. Her eyes were fixed on Andrew and the woman. She really wanted to rush up to them and beat the two of them up.
"Miss Turner? Are you Miss Turner?" A silvery male voice held her back. If this man was to call her a little later, she might have already rushed up to Andrew and given him a tight slap on the face.
"Yes, I am." Silvia withdrew her gaze and tried to calm herself down. Then, she forced a smile and said, "Hi, you must be Mr. Zachary, am I right?"
"Yes, I am," Wayne replied. He was also dressed in a formal suit. He looked smart and Silvia could tell that he was taking this 'interview' very seriously.
Regardless of whether this person was the managerial talent that she was looking for, Silvia had a good impression of him. He looked decent and he was neither too humble nor arrogant as he spoke.
Wayne continued, "Miss Turner, should we take a seat first then?"
"Yeah, sure." Silvia nodded, but her gaze was once again directed towards Andrew. That man was really enjoying his time with that vixen that he did not even notice her. "Mr. Zachary, could you please have a seat first? I happened to see a good friend of mine at the other table, so I should go over to greet him."
Silvia was Andrew's wife, so how could she allow that vixen to behave so wantonly in front of her? Looking at the two of them, Silvia immediately flew into a rage and she could no longer control her anger.
Hence, she went over to Andrew's table and greeted him with a smile. "Hi! Young Master Carter, it looks like you're having a great time with this pretty lady!"
Silvia appeared out of nowhere, but Andrew was not surprised at all. Instead, he was surprised that she would actually come over to greet him... However, little did he know, in the next second, Silvia would do something which would surprise him even more.
Silvia picked up his coffee cup and poured the coffee on the top of his head. "Andrew, do you know what kind of man I hate the most? I hate d‘ckheads who cheat on their wives the most."
CHAPTER 1173
"Andrew, do you know that people like you just disgust me?" He told her that he married her because he wanted to be responsible for her... And that he would be loyal despite having no love between them. Not only that, he even told her that he had never slept with anyone else except for her... All of these were utter bullsh‘t!
Thinking of what he had said to her, Silvia was burning with anger and she didn't care if she was in public at all. At that instant, everyone's eyes were fixed on her.
B‘stard! F‘cking sc'm! Did he really think that she was an ignorant child whom he could fool so easily?
Pouring a cup of coffee over his head just could not deliberate her anger anymore so she pointed at him and scolded, "Andrew, a d‘ckhead like you really deserve a beating! Also, don't you even f‘cking dare to show up in front of me ever again, or else, I'll beat you up each time I see you!“
Silvia was pissed... so pissed that she wanted to beat Andrew up so badly. She wanted to beat up this unfaithful piece of sh‘t into a pulp!
After being doused in coffee and getting chastised in full view of the public, any man would definitely be vexed. However, Andrew was not angry, and there was even a faint smile on his lips. The gentleness in his gaze as he looked at Silvia was unprecedented.
On the contrary, the woman who was sitting opposite Andrew could no longer hold back her anger. She stood up and pointed her finger at Silvia. "Miss, do you know what you are doing? Do you know that I can report you to the police for what you've done to this gentleman?"
"Call the police?" Silvia did not like the woman from the start. When Silvia imagined Andrew treating this woman as gently as he did to Silvia, she began to feel even more annoyed. "How dare you report me to the police? I should be the one reporting the two of you!"
D’mn it. No matter what, Silvia's relationship with Andrew was protected by the law. No matter how beautiful that vixen was or how capable was she in making Andrew happy, she would just be a homewrecking mistress, despised by all!
However, on second thought, Silvia realized that this woman might not be aware that this b‘stard Andrew was a married man. There was a possibility that the woman had been deceived!
Therefore, Andrew, this sc‘m was still the one to be blamed. If he had restrained himself, such a thing would never happen. All of these proved that he was just putting on a show in front of Silvia when he rejected Audrey without any hesitation the last time.
Silvia stared at Andrew ferociously, and then said to the beautiful woman who was standing before her, "Let me tell you, there are a lot of f‘ckboys in this world, so don't ever believe whatever they say to you. Don't give everything you have to him just because he said some nice things to you. Have you never thought that what he had told you might not be completely true?"
The woman stuttered, "I..."
Silvia asked, "What?"
"You can leave first." Seeing that the two women were about to get into a quarrel, the culprit of the incident stood up and spoke. As he spoke, his tone sounded rather jovial.
"Andrew Carter! What did you just say? I dare you to repeat yourself!" Silvia clenched her fists. If he dared to say anything that she didn't want to hear, she would definitely beat him up at that very instant.
Did he just ask her to leave?
Did he really think that he was an emperor that he could just ask anyone to leave?
He was caught red-handed meeting up with another woman behind Silvia's back. Not only did he not explain himself, but he was also asking Silvia to leave! And in such a commanding tone!
"Andrew..." The woman wanted to say something, but when she saw the look in Andrew's eyes, she swallowed her words and nodded her head before leaving the café.
In any circumstances, there must be clear evidence to prove that something had indeed happened. Seeing that the woman had left, Silvia anxiously said, "Andrew, don't ever think that you can just sweep everything under the carpet just because she left. How dare you find another woman while I'm still around. Am I that insignificant to you?"
Without even trying to explain for himself, Andrew suddenly pulled her into his arms and kissed her, "Silly woman, I'm very satisfied with your performance today."
She had just poured a whole cup of coffee on him, but he was praising her instead. Silvia thought that she had either heard it wrongly, or something had actually gone wrong with Andrew.
Or... was it sarcasm? He probably had already thought of countless ways to torture her.
Silvia looked up at him and noticed that his gaze was immensely strange. It was as if he wanted to swallow her at once. Sure enough... This man was indeed thinking of how to torture her.
As she thought of the consequences of provoking him, Silvia began to feel a little terrified. She pushed him away and tried to escape from his arms, "Young Master Carter, I still have something to attend to, so I'll have to go off now. Oh, and you can just date whoever you want actually. I'll just act like I didn't notice anything. You don't have to care about how I feel."
Boohoo! This man was behaving in such a peculiar way that it was too terrifying for her stay near him. It was true that Silvia was unhappy that he was meeting up with another woman, but she still valued her life more than anything else.
On the other hand, Andrew had finally seen his wife being jealous because of him, so he was overjoyed. "Okay, let's go to your appointment together."
What? He was going to accompany Silvia to her appointment?
However, Silvia thought that he must be plotting something against her, so she quickly refused, "Oh, there's no need for that. It's just a casual meeting with an employee, there's no need for you to come."
Andrew's aura could be a little too strong at times. If he showed up, he might actually scare away Silvia's interviewee inadvertently.
Well, Silvia was right about his terrifying aura. When Wayne saw Silvia dumping the coffee all over Andrew's head, he was stunned.
His big boss, Andrew, was well known for being a cold-blooded, cruel, and decisive man... Now that Wayne had witnessed his boss in such an embarrassing situation, he was worried that he would get into trouble.
Therefore, Wayne did not dare to look at Silvia and Andrew anymore. He quickly found a table at a hidden corner and pretended like he did not see what had happened to his boss. What was the most important at this very moment was to stay out of this mess.
Andrew stroked Silvia‘s head and said, "Did I ask you for your opinion? Hmm?"
Huh! She knew that he must be up to no good. Hence, she must not let him have his way. "Young Master Carter, why don't you go to the washroom and clean yourself up first?"
She pointed to his head and saw his hair which was drenched in coffee. At that instant, Silvia thought that she had really dug a grave for herself.
"Okay!" Just as Silvia was feeling uneasy, Andrew nodded his head. Then, before going to the washroom, he hugged her once again and even kissed her. "Wait for me here."
"Okay..." Silvia replied. As soon as he let go of her, Silvia was so scared that her legs were trembling. She was just not used to him behaving like this.
After watching Andrew entering the washroom, Silvia turned around and scurried towards where Wayne was. "Mr. Zachary, there was a mishap earlier. Why don't we go somewhere else instead?"
Wayne wanted to change a place too, but he did not dare to do so. It was his Boss who had chosen this place, so how could he leave without his permission?
He smiled awkwardly and refused euphemistically, "Miss Turner, I'm afraid that I can't do that because I've got some other things to attend to later, so I don't have much time left here. I'm so sorry about that."
CHAPTER 1174
"Oh... let's stick to this place then." Silvia looked back at the direction of the washroom, and she was worried about what Andrew would do to her when he returned. However, compared to that, Silvia thought that recruiting new talent should be her priority. "Mr. Zachary, if our conversation happens to be interrupted due to some unforeseen circumstances, we'll have to meet up another time again, is that okay for you?"
Wayne nodded and said, "Miss Turner, since you've already made yourself clear on the purpose of this meeting during the phone call, so there's no need for us to beat around the bush. I'll just tell you everything I know about Wateria Corporation's current situation.
Silvia nodded, "Okay, please do."
Silvia understood that Wateria Corporation was currently in a disastrous state. The only thing that was left of the company was its reputation as a long-time brand, so it was no longer an easy thing to retain talents.
More importantly, she understood that with her current ability, there was no way that she could bring Wateria Corporation back to life. Therefore, she needed help, she had to hire talents to manage the company for her. As long as the person in front of her had the capability, she must find a way to retain him.
Wayne listed out all the issues that Wateria Corporation was currently facing, and his analysis was extremely thorough. On the other hand, Silvia knew about these issues too.
She knew how bad Wateria Corporation's current situation was, but she could not think of a way to solve the problem. Hence, she had no choice but to pin her hopes on Wayne, "Mr. Zachary, I will be getting back my shares in two days... and I don’t want to file for bankruptcy right after I get back my shares. Is there any advice that you can give me on that?"
Silvia asked this question for two reasons. Firstly, she wanted to test if Wayne was as capable as Uncle Bachman said he was. Secondly, she had really put all her hopes on him.
Wayne did not expect that Silvia would ask such a direct question, but he did not feel that there was anything wrong with her asking this kind of question at all.
Regardless of whether Wateria Corporation was a profitable company or not, Andrew had already made up his mind that he would back them up. Moreover, he had already invested huge funding into Wateria Corporation to help with the capital flow. Otherwise, they couldn't even afford to pay their employees.
The biggest problem that Wateria Corporation was facing now was its poor financial condition. Now that they had already gotten the funding, the remaining issues could be resolved without a hitch. However, Silvia had no clue about this, and Wayne had to make it seem like he was analyzing the entire company situation, to avoid Silvia from discovering Andrew's investment.
Fortunately, Silvia was still unfamiliar with business concepts, and on top of that. Wayne and Andrew had already planned out what they would say to her beforehand, so Silvia did not notice anything at all.
Silvia couldn't understand most of the things that Wayne was talking about, but she did not want him to look down on her. Therefore, she would nod her head from time to time, pretending that she understood everything.
While Wayne was speaking, he saw that his boss was coming over to their table so he instinctively stood up. However, after receiving a knowing look from his boss, he immediately sat back down.
Silvia noticed his strange behavior. The moment she turned her head, she saw that Andrew was walking towards them. She immediately stood up and walked to his side and whispered, “Young Master Carter, it's a work meeting so you must not interrupt me, okay? Even if you're not happy with me, please don't do anything now. I will let you do whatever you want once we get back home tonight."
"Do whatever I want tonight?" This offer was just too tempting. At that moment, Andrew thought that it would be a waste if he did not actually find any faults with her.
"Yes, yes..." Silvia nodded her head vigorously, fearing that he would not believe her. "As long as my work goes smoothly, I will do as you say."
“Okay, I won't interrupt you then." Andrew accepted her request with alacrity. Of course he would. How could he not accept such a great offer that his silly wife had made?
"Thank you!” In order to please him, Silvia had even given him a bright smile.
Andrew sat next to her and did not interrupt their conversation at all. However, Wayne, who was sitting opposite him, was feeling a little uneasy. No matter what he said, he would look towards his boss, fearing that he might accidentally say something that he should not have said.
Although he was worried that he would make a mistake in front of his boss, Wayne was still an expert in his field after all. Once he had gotten into his working mode, he immediately slipped into his professional persona and no longer cared much about Andrew. This was also the reason why Andrew had chosen him to assist Silvia in managing the company.
Listening to Wayne's words and the professional language that he was using, Silvia was still confused. Hence, she looked towards Andrew, trying to hint him that she needed help. "Save me!" She mouthed.
Andrew immediately signaled Wayne to simplify what he had just said so that Silvia could understand it completely. Since his boss wanted him to do that, Wayne had no choice but to repeat himself once again.
After explaining for another time, Silvia finally understood everything. However, at the same time, she had realized how impotent she was, so she had been moody on their journey back home.
Andrew, who was driving, took a glance at her and said, "Wayne looks quite decent though. Why are you not happy?"
Silvia said sullenly, "I'm just angry at myself."
Andrew asked, "Angry at yourself?"
Silvia lowered her head, feeling discouraged and said, "I just realized that I've been thinking too highly of myself, and in fact, I'm just an ignorant fool who can't get anything done."
After listening to her words, not only did Andrew not comfort her, he nodded and said, "At least you still have some self awareness, so it's not the worst case."
Silvia reached out her hand and pinched him. "Andrew, do you have any conscience?"
Andrew asked, "What's conscience?" Silvia was speechless.
She did not want to talk to this b‘stard anymore. Silvia thought that if she was to talk to him for a minute longer, he would definitely get under her skin.
Just as Silvia was feeling annoyed, Andrew spoke again, "Silvia, that's the reality of this society. It doesn't mean that you can get everything done just because you have conscience."
Andrew's words were cruel, but it was very true. This was also what Silvia had deeply experienced, especially during the past few months. Fortunately, other than her mother, she had two best friends and...
Then, Silvia turned her head and looked at Andrew. She looked at his gorgeous profile and thought to herself, he was also one of the people who had given her a helping hand when she had hit a bad patch after her father's death.
It could be just a coincidence, or perhaps he just wanted to help her, or maybe there were many other possibilities too. However, as long as he was by her side, it seemed like she could be more confident as she faced those challenges ahead of her.
When she was with him, she would always instinctively tell him whatever that was hidden deep down in her heart. Perhaps, it was because she knew that he was willing to be her listener.
"I used to follow my father around a lot, and I've always thought that I'm someone who is going to do something big in the future, but what did I manage to do now? I can't think of a way to save the company."
Andrew stretched out his right hand and squeezed her hand, trying to comfort her, "Who said that you have not found a way to save the company?"
Silvia rolled her eyes at him and said, "Can you stop making fun of me already? I know what I am capable of, okay?"
Andrew said, "Isn't hiring managerial talent to help you manage the company a way to save the company? Besides, when we were born, we did not know how to eat on our own. Does that make us stupid then?"
Listening to Andrew's words, Silvia thought that what he had said did make sense. At that instant, Silvia's mood had gotten a little happier, but she pretended to be humble. "Those are two different matters though."
Andrew then said, "Each of us has our own strengths and of course our own shortcomings too. Managing a company is not what you‘re good at, but when it comes to fighting, there's not many who are better than you, right?"
CHAPTER 1175
Just as Silvia had started to grow fond of Andrew, his words immediately destroyed the feelings she had for him. “Andrew, how can you laugh at me like this? Are you even human?"
"Am I not human?" Andrew curled his lips and smiled evilly. "Then what was that thing that did those crazy things on the bed with you this morning?
Silvia pouted her lips and glared at him. “Beast!"
Silvia was already so anxious with the problems that she was facing at that moment, but this man still had the mood to make fun of her. He was not showing any compassion for her at all.
Perhaps, it was not that he did not have any sympathy for her, but he had given all his love and tenderness to another woman, to the woman who could make him happy.
When she thought of the beautiful woman who Andrew had met up with that afternoon, Silvia's mood got even worse. She looked away and ignored Andrew, refusing to talk to him.
Seeing that she was in a low mood out of a sudden, Andrew reached out his right hand to caress her head and played his trump card, "I'll treat you to dinner tonight. What do you feel like eating?"
In the past, when it came to food, Silvia could just leave all the troubles that she had behind her in an instant. To her, there was nothing that could not be solved by having a good meal. If there was a big problem, then two hearty meals would solve it.
However, when Silvia heard about food that day, she could not cheer up at all. She was still feeling dejected as she thought about Wateria Corporation's current situation and the woman who was with Andrew that afternoon, so she said, "I don't feel like eating anything, I just want to go home and accompany my mother. You can just drop me off anywhere around here."
Just moments ago, she was still pouring her heart out, but now she was starting to avoid him again. Andrew furrowed his brows and asked, "Silvia, have you forgotten what you've said?"
"What did I say?" Silvia had really forgotten what she had said. However, when she saw Andrew's glum face, she suddenly recalled her own words. "I did say that you can do whatever you want to me tonight, but I'm really not quite in the mood now. Let's do it next time.“
Moreover, she was in a bad mood mostly because of him. So, he should really stay away from her for the time being, or else, she would beat him up if he angered her again.
"Starting from today, you will get two hours every day to visit your mother and you must go home with me at night." Andrew did not know why Silvia was in a bad mood. He thought that she just did not want to spend time with him, so his words were somewhat oppressive.
Silvia hurriedly shouted at him, "Andrew, why do I only get two hours to see my Mom? Who are you to control me?"
Andrew answered confidently, "I'm your husband. Have you ever seen any married woman who would still cuddle up to her mother every day? And not go home with her husband?"
Silvia felt wronged as she shouted, "So you still remember that you're my husband huh? Then what were you thinking when you're meeting up with another woman behind my back? Did you forget that you're my husband when you're with her?"
Initially, Silvia did not want to dwell on this matter anymore, thinking that their marriage was a mistake anyway. However, she just could not help but keep thinking about Andrew and that woman. She was curious what was the relationship between them, and she was upset recalling the gentle way Andrew treated the woman.
In the past, whenever Andrew mentioned the word 'husband', Silvia would definitely make a fuss about it. She never wanted to admit to their relationship. However, she was behaving differently now. She was questioning him in such a jealous and satirical tone. It was so obvious that she was jealous!
Andrew was in a good mood as he listened to her. He reached out his hand to stroke her head and said in a gentle voice, ”Silvia, I've never forgotten my identity as your husband."
He said that he had never forgotten about his identity as her husband. Wouldn't that mean that he did it knowingly? This is even more unforgivable. “Andrew Carter, you're really a piece of sh‘t!"
She scolded him because she was jealous. Therefore, Andrew was not angry at her. Instead, he smiled at her and said,
"Why am I a piece of sh‘t? Tell me!"
Silvia was never the kind who could keep her grievances to herself, so she said, "Andrew, don’t you think that you owe me an explanation?"
"What do you want me to explain to you?" Andrew obviously knew what she wanted to hear, but he deliberately pretended that he did not know. He wanted her to say it herself.
”That woman just now..." Thinking of that woman and how gentle Andrew was to her, Silvia suddenly felt a little scared. She was afraid that he would say something that she did not want to hear. This was the first time ever in her entire life that she was so afraid of something that she had to choose to escape.
"Forget it, you don't have to explain anything to me. Our marriage is just a joke anyway. You are free to date any women you like. I‘m not in the position to question you."
"What do you mean by saying that our marriage is just a joke? Are you saying that our marriage certificate is fake?" Just as Silvia was about to question him about that woman, she stopped. Andrew was very upset, so he had to make it clear to her. Otherwise, this silly woman would never understand it for the rest of her life.
"Silvia, you are my lawfully wedded wife. If you don't have the right to ask me about it, then who else in this world has the right to do so?"
Since he had said so, she had no reason to stop asking then. "Then tell me who's that woman?"
Andrew explained in a serious manner, "That woman came to report to me on some work progress. I have nothing to do with her except for being her boss."
"Report on some work progress? If that is the case, then why do you need to get so close to each other? Why do you guys have to laugh so happily? Also, I've never seen you going to work anyway! All you do is spend your father's money, so what work progress would she report to you?"
Silvia obviously did not believe him, so she continued, “B‘stard, I've already said that I won't ask you anything about that woman anymore, but you're making me do it again. Now that I am, you still wouldn't tell me the truth."
Listening to this silly woman's endless question, Andrew was electrified. He was so happy that he felt like he was in seventh heaven.
Andrew wanted Silvia to ask him a few more questions, but he knew that she was an impatient person. If he did not explain it to her at that instant, she would never give him any more chances to explain to her in the future. "Silvia, every single word that I've ever said to you is true. I've never lied to you."
"Okay, um..." Silvia almost believed what he had said to her, but when she noticed the mocking look in his eyes, she asked "What are you laughing at?"
Andrew quickly pulled over. After the car had completely stopped, he leaned over towards Silvia and kissed her aggressively, holding her head in his palms. Just as Silvia was almost out of breath, he let go of her and gave her a gentle smile. "I'm laughing at you, silly girl. You look adorable when you're jealous."
“Jealous? Who said that I‘m jealous?" She was denying it, but she had somehow realized that her behavior did seem like she was jealous. Silvia panicked and hurriedly denied, "I, I'm not, I'm not jealous. Why, why would I be jealous?"
"You weren't jealous?" Andrew looked at her and smiled gently.
Silvia was so nervous that she was stuttering as she spoke. It was especially when she saw that gentle look in Andrew's eyes that she had become even more nervous. It was as if he had seen through her. "Andrew, you'd better not talk nonsense, or I will beat you up now. "
