SWNOVELS Chapter 343 Strange Reminder
"Indeed, some relatives have already arrived. I just finished talking with them and had a chat with Jimmy. Suddenly, I realized that I haven't had the chance to talk to you about something. So, I called to ask if you're busy tonight. If not, let's have dinner together. There are some things I feel like I need to discuss, but it's quite troublesome to explain over the phone."
After thinking for a moment, he said this to Silvia. He actually felt that some things would be better explained face-to-face. He feared Silvia might misunderstand over the phone, especially since she was busy with work.
"I can't tonight. It's a family gathering. I have to attend. Also, the situation with the three is much better now. We're planning to move them to another hospital for further treatment. If there's anything, just say it over the phone."
Silvia found it strange to take this call considering her busy schedule. She didn't have much time to talk, yet there was so much to discuss over the phone.
"Okay, since you have a lot to say, I'll just tell you over the phone. Here's the thing: my relatives who came today are very interested in you because they already know that I want to pursue you."
Miles could sense Silvia's hesitation on the other end. He couldn't hear any papers shuffling or footsteps anymore, indicating that Silvia had stopped talking to her employees. Now, with everyone gone, the office became quieter.
Silvia remained silent, and Miles didn't rush. He had to give Silvia some time to process. After a while, Silvia finally spoke up.
"I don't quite understand what you mean. What do you mean your relatives know you want to pursue me? Did you actually tell them? But what's there to say about this?"
Silvia was puzzled for a while before finding her voice and expressing her confusion. She genuinely couldn't see how these things were connected.
"Well, I didn't need to say anything special. Don't forget, there's someone in our family who's particularly interested in you. Because of that, he always can't help but talk about you to others. He really likes you, so when he talks about these things, there's no hidden agenda. I hope you don't mind."
The reason the old lady came over was because Jimmy had called. The old lady's information was quite accurate. She was worried about Jimmy while also curious about Silvia's affairs. So, she rushed over without delay. When Silvia met the old lady, she realized things might not be so simple. Though the old lady said she wouldn't disturb Silvia's life, who could guarantee she wouldn't bother others?
Silvia understood now. The reason Miles' family knew about these things was because of Jimmy. And she didn't really mind Jimmy's actions. Children tend to show off their achievements to adults; Silvia didn't find it strange at all.
"It's okay, he doesn't mean any harm. So, what's the point of your call today?"
Silvia was curious. Was this just to tell her not to blame Jimmy for this?
"No, I wanted to say that you might receive some strange calls recently. If those callers are unfamiliar to you, don't pick up. It's not necessary. Do you understand?"
The reminder was both subtle and strange. Silvia couldn't help but laugh on her end of the phone.
"Okay, I get it. I know what to do now. I have another meeting to attend, so I'll hang up."
After reminding Silvia, Miles hung up. Then, he got back to his work as if he hadn't put much thought into the call. But Silvia could understand that the call did matter to him.
Now that Silvia had been reminded, Miles relaxed a bit. He started attending to his other tasks; he had several meetings lined up for the day.
After the busy day, Silvia had completely forgotten about what Miles had said.
After finishing up with company matters, she hurriedly prepared to go abroad for a business trip. But for the first few days of her refusal to go abroad, she needed to attend a charity auction.
"You've attended this kind of charity
event before, why bring me along this time? Plus, those online rumors haven't died down yet. Although we've found a lot of evidence to
solve these issues, if you think about it, I'm still in big trouble."
Today, accompanying Silvia was Balk, who appeared with her for the first time after the turmoil.
"Those online issues have almost
been resolved. But if you still stay hidden, how will those online
matters regard you? In situations et
like these, you should come
more, so everyone feels more assured. Don't forget, you have a huge fan base."
After Silvia's reminder, although Balk was reluctant, he got ready. The siblings left together. Before they left, Bruce caught them and earnestly reminded them, especially Balk, not to be too impulsive. He instructed Balk to stay rational in any situation and let Silvia handle things first. Otherwise, things would get even more complicated and troublesome.
Indeed, in some situations, Balk could get anxious and act rashly, doing things wrong. So, when he heard Bruce's words, he wasn't surprised at all. He promised to behave. The siblings left and went straight to the venue.
"Why do I feel like there are so many people here today? I've attended such events before, but never have I seen so many people like today."
Balk felt that there were unusually many people today. While there were usually some attendees at charity events, it was rare to see such a large crowd from different circles.
