Chapter 60
“Neil…”
Ada stared at them in disbelief. She could not fathom why Neil would carry Silvia around like that in broad daylight.
He had never held her like that even during the most passionate moments of their relationship.
At that very moment, jealousy consumed her.
Neil clearly did not anticipate to see Ada there, and he instinctively put Silvia down.
Disdain briefly flashed in Silvia’s eyes as she walked into the elevator. “You two can take your time. I won’t interrupt your romantic rendezvous.”
She closed the elevator doors and shut out Neil’s furious gaze.
However, when the elevator started moving, she realized that both her room key and ID were still in Neil’s hands. She had no way to access her room, but there was no way she would go back to him.
She pressed the button for the 20th floor. If she remembered correctly, there was an indoor swimming pool on that floor and a restaurant next to it. It seemed like a good idea to have some food and rest for a while.
Unexpectedly, she ran into Chris in the restaurant.
“Silvia, what are you doing here?”
She smiled and said, “I came here to spend the weekend. What about you?”
“I’m here to shoot some scenes for my new movie. I just arrived too, and I never thought I would bump into you.”
Silvia nodded. “I won’t disturb you while you film. Go ahead and do your job.”
“I’m not in a rush. Shooting doesn’t start until tomorrow. I just had a meeting with the director and other actors.”
“Oh, how long are you guys staying here?”
“Probably over a week. By the way, do you still remember that you promised me a meal?”
Silvia was slightly surprised, and she gave him an inquisitive look. “You must have eaten with the director, right? Do you still have room for more food?”
Chris sat across from her with resignation as he said, “You know that when I have meals with the director and other actors, we mostly discuss work. There’s hardly a chance to touch the food. I only had a few bites just now.”
She chuckled and handed him the menu. “Well, take a look and order whatever you like. It’s on me!”
“In that case, I won’t hold back.”
After they placed their orders, Chris poured her a glass of water and asked, “Are you here alone?”
Silvia shook her head. “No, I’m here with my husband.”
“Mr. Remus?”
There was a flicker of disappointment in his eyes, and his voice sounded a little lower. “So, you’ve made up?”
For some reason, Silvia thought of the time when Neil talked about Chris having feelings for her.
She subconsciously tightened her grip on her teacup. Then, she reprimanded herself for overthinking. She had been Chris’s behind-the-scenes agent for over a year. If he truly had feelings for her, he would not have kept quiet about it and waited
until she was married.
With that in mind, she looked at him and replied, “No, we’re just pretending to be fine for now.”
After a brief silence, Chris suddenly said, “If you need a divorce lawyer, I can recommend one.”
As he said that, a hostile voice rang out behind him.
“That’s between Silvia and me. We don’t need your concern, Mr. Award-winning Actor!”
Chris turned to look and saw Neil approaching with an icy demeanor. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
There was a menacing glint in his eyes, but Chris met his gaze without fear.
They were locked in a fiery confrontation, and the tension in the air was palpable.
