Chapter 102 There Will Be No Gossip
"Alright, just don't find trouble with her in future.â âOf course, Mr. Mccarthy. Don't worry,â Joe
replied. In high spirits, Brian declared, âConsider the half a million debt you owe me repaid!" After
he'd said that, he hung up the phone, leaving Joe dumbfounded. Shortly after Camila arrived at the
studio, Silas came. Camila was rather surprised upon seeing him, so she smilingly joked, âIs this an
Undercover Boss visit, President Nolan?â
Walking into the room, Silas looked around before proclaiming with a serious expression, âI'm just
here to see whether you're slacking on the job!â âLook how dedicated I am.â Camila stretched her
dirty hands out to him. âJust leave the grunt work to the others. You don't have to do it.â Camila
curled her lips. âYou're still looking down on the working class?â Throwing her a sidelong glance, he
said, âDonât simply put words in my mouth. I obviously meant that each person has his or her own
forte. While you're poor at such a task, they're definitely not as good as you when it comes to
design!â Camila nodded in satisfaction. Well, his explanation passed muster. âOh yes, I've got
something to ask you. Was it you who did that to the two people on Jordan Bridge yesterday?â Silas
cocked an eyebrow. âWhat do you think?â âIt was you!â Camilaâs voice was filled with conviction.
Neither affirming nor denying it, Silas turned and asked with a smile, âWhere's South?â
"He's inside.â As Camila said that, she called out in the direction of the inner room, âSouth, come
here!â In no time, South came running out, his hands dirty as well. âGosh, why did you get all dirty
as well?â Camila took him to the sink. âI wanted to help them finish faster; South explained. While
Camila rolled up his sleeves, she chided, âDidn't you hear your Uncle Silas say that each person has
his or her own forte? This is not our forte, so you should just focus on studying.â When the two of
them came out after washing their hands, Silas said, âI noticed that Grandpa was in a good mood
yesterday, and it was all thanks to South. I'm just thinking of going back to Nolan Residence, so I'd
like to ask South whether he'd like to go and visit Grandpa.â Knowing what he meant, South
hurriedly piped up, âSure!â Camila quickly tugged at him. âNo, I don't think he should go. South is
too
rambunctious, so he'll disrupt your grandpaâs rest. Just take him over when your grandpa's health
has improved.â
âI'm aware of your concerns, but you donât need to worry about anyone saying anything with me
there. You might think that Grandpa has plenty of people keeping him company that he doesn't
even have time to rest, considering the vastness of the Nolan Family and its businesses, but in
reality, he's actually very lonely. There isn't even anyone to talk to him usually. I think he loves
chatting with South because he always asked why South didn't come along every time I went back.
As you said, keeping a patient's spirits high is extremely crucial. If you don't have any other
concerns, please allow me to take your child with me. In any case, I can even pay for the privilege.â
Since he'd said as much, Camila couldn't possibly refuse anymore. Besides, she just felt a tad
distressed at the thought of that adorable old man without any company. âWill you be there as
well?â
"Yes. I usually leave at noon so that I don't disrupt Grandpa's nap,â Silas replied. âDo you want to go,
South?â Nodding, South answered, âYes.â Only then did Camila look at Silas, her tone solemn. âI
don't need any payment. South is going over to keep him company out of the kindness of his heart
and because he enjoys a close relationship with him. Thus, it won't be good if people gossip about
us, mistaking his good intentions for bad.â
Silas inhaled deeply. This little lady is truly eloquent. âOkay, I got it. I promise there will be no
gossip.â Camila then gave South a few reminders, saying, âDonât make noise there, and just visit for
a short while, okay?â âOkay, Mommy!â As South said that, he walked out with Silas. After the two of
them had driven a fair distance away, Silas asked, âWill your mommy think that I abducted you?"
