Chapter 189 The Son of a Rival Since Duncan and Miranda returned, they had both been working in the company. Although they were both employed there, Mirandaâs workload was always lighter than his. So while Miranda enjoyed herself outside, he was stuck in the office, unable to lift his head from work.
âDo you want to take a look at my workload now? And here you are talking about going out. Arenât you being a bit too much? Donât you care about your brotherâs wellâbeing?â Duncan looked at Miranda with resentment. With the amount of work in the company, he didnât want to do anything after each day.
Now Miranda was talking about going out again. He had to work so hard while she was out having fun. Did she expect him to go out with what? Was he supposed to go out with the half of his life that work had taken away from him?
Miranda looked disdainful. When they returned to take over the company, their father had given them the choice of who would lead. Duncan had decided to take over the entire company at the time, but Miranda had no such intention. Now that he had taken over the company, he felt that the workload was too much.
âYou were the one who decided to take over the company at the time. Now youâre the one who says you donât have time to go out.â
âAnd let me tell you, we have an important mission this time we go out. I know you really like Silvia now, but does she have any feelings for you? So why donât you listen to your sister? Your sister can help you.â
Duncan didnât want to talk anymore. Listening to Mirandaâs words, he couldnât help but wonder what help she could provide. What had she done for him over the years? And even if she did help him, how could he and Silvia have no progress at all?
âIf you listen to your sister, youâll realize that we have no relationship now. Youâre just my brother.
And we have a good relationship with Silvia. Itâs not easy to cross that barrier. You understand that, right? Itâs not that I donât want to help you, but our relationship is very awkward. So if thereâs someone else to help you, it might make you look different from each other. Then when you pursue Silvia, your chances might be higher, right?â
Mirandaâs argument sounded reasonable, but Duncan felt something was off.
âWait a minute. You said you want someone else to help me, so who do you intend to help me with?
You canât mean Cyril, can you? Does Cyril need to help?â
Duncan thought about it seriously before saying this. Besides Cyril, there seemed to be no one else around Silvia who could influence his position.
Hearing this, Mirandaâs mouth twitched. She didnât even dare to tell her twin brother that the most threatening person to Cyril was no longer Cyril, but Miles.
And they all had a good impression of Miles, so if they had to compare, Duncan was probably the one who looked different from Miles. But how could she tell her brother about this?
âNever mind who it is. Just tell me if you can do it or not. If you can, Iâll find a way to make it happen now.â
Miranda didnât want to continue arguing with Duncan. If they kept arguing, her plan would be discovered. So she asked directly if he could do it.
What a joke! Finally, her sister had a conscience and was willing to help her. How could Duncan refuse?
âOf course, no problem. You can rest assured that I can handle it. But thereâs nothing going on this afternoon anyway. Why donât I go and find Silvia?â
Miranda blinked. It wouldnât be a good idea to go find Silvia now.
After saying this, Duncan threw the work in his hands aside. His actions were fast; after all, there were so many people in the company.
He didnât have to stay here; he could solve these things without being here.
Miranda didnât say anything. She started to sit down and deal with the documents Duncan had left behind.
After leaving the company, Duncan drove quickly and went directly to Silviaâs company. On the way, he bought a bouquet of flowers, ready to give them to Silvia. Just as he arrived downstairs of her company, he saw a child tiptoeing and talking to the receptionist.
He didnât know which employeeâs child had come so early and what the matter was.
Probably out of a sense of empathy, Duncan felt a bit more sympathetic to the child. So he walked over and immediately asked what was going on.
âHe wants to see the vice president, but the vice president is in a meeting now, and we donât know this child, so we dare not let him go up. If something happens, we canât explain it,â the receptionist said with a troubled expression. To be honest, she really didnât know what to do.
Duncan seemed to recall something similar, so he squatted down and looked at the little boy with a very friendly smile, âWhy do you want to see Silvia?â
Jimmy tilted his head and looked at the stranger in front of him, then spoke cautiously, âThen who are you looking for? Are you here to see Silvia too?â
âIâm Silviaâs friend. Iâm here to see Silvia. If you tell me why you want to see Silvia, I can take you to see her directly. What do you think?â Duncan thought the condition he gave was very tempting, but Jimmy didnât respond, taking out his phone from his bag and calling his dad.
âDad, I met your rival. Heâs here to see the beautiful sister too. Hurry up and come.â
Hearing what the child said, Duncan was stunned. What did he mean? Was this child his rivalâs child?
But why didnât he know he had a child? When did this come up? What happened during the time he was busy with work?
Duncan was confused and started to ask his sister. But Miranda was busy with work at the moment and didnât have time to deal with Duncan.
Without Micandaâs answer, Duncan had no choice but to call Silvia. When Silvia learned that both a man and a child were downstairs, she felt a headache coming on.
