âA staff member from Remus Corporationâs Finance Department informed me that they were taking back their previous investment. They found out when they looked through the accounts.â
Adaâs face turned even paler, and she spoke in a panic, âIâll go back right away.â
If her misappropriation of public funds came to light, she could end up in jail.
With that in mind, she sped toward Remus Corporation to find Neil.
However, when she reached the building, a security guard stopped her from entering.
âMiss Pond, Mr. Remus refuses to see you.â
Her eyes burned with rage. âI wonât leave unless I see him today!â
The security guard looked at the scorching sun and sighed in resignation. âMr. Remus wonât change his mind even if you stand here all day.â
Ada bit her lip and continued to stand there. She was determined to see Neil.
Since the security guard could not dissuade her, he returned to his booth.
As time passed, the ground got hotter and heat waves rose. Soon, her face was covered in sweat.
Around noon, Silvia came to Remus Corporation to discuss some collaboration details with Neil. As she approached the entrance, she noticed Ada standing there. It looked like she was about to faint.
Silvia was surprised, but she decided not to intervene. She pretended as if Ada was invisible and walked past her into the building.
However, Ada became visibly agitated upon seeing her.
âStop right there, Silvia!â
She quickly blocked Silviaâs path and glared at her with hatred and jealousy.
âYouâre the one who asked Neil to humiliate me like this, arenât you?â
Silvia was bewildered, and she replied coldly, âAda, are you paranoid? I donât even know why youâre standing here, so how could I possibly ask him to humiliate you?â
âStop acting innocent! If it werenât for you, would Neil pull his investment from Perficient?!â
She finally realized why Ada was standing there. She chuckled and said, âYou should ask yourself that question. You reap what you sow.â
Ada glared at Silvia and said, âDo you think Iâll lose to you like that?! Just you wait and see!â
Silvia ignored her and walked into Remus Corporation.
However, Ada kept staring at her. She only left when Silvia disappeared from view.
Once Silvia arrived at the top floor, Curtis led her to Neilâs office.
âMr. Remus, Miss Pond is here to discuss collaboration details with you.â
After he learned about Silviaâs collaboration with Ryan, Neil expressed interest in partnering with MY Corporation. Despite her initial reluctance, she eventually agreed after he pestered her for several days.
Neil glanced at her and said, âHave a seat. Iâll be with you after I read this document.â
Curtis left after he poured her a glass of water. She sat across from Neil, placed the documents on the table, and glanced around. The decorâs cold color palette mirrored that of their home.
Although they used to be married for three years, Silvia seldom visited him at Remus Corporation. The few times she did were for business reasons.
A few minutes later, Neil signed the document and turned his attention to her.
âShall we have lunch together later?â
Silvia slid the document forward and adopted a businesslike tone. âMr. Remus, letâs review the contract first. If thereâs anything youâre dissatisfied with, we can modify it now.â
Neil turned to the last page of the document and signed without reading it.
âOur Legal Affairs Department worked overtime to draft this contract. You should at least go through it,â she said in dissatisfaction.
He glanced at the document and handed it back to her. âNow that official business is done, can we discuss personal matters?â
At the mention of âpersonal matters,â Silvia remembered encountering Ada downstairs.
