Chapter 303 Is He Jealous?
“Didn’t you tell me before that Silas is a womanizer? You’d better not get too close with him or people
might start getting the wrong idea that you and him are dating.” Camila quickly responded, “I
understand that but after all, he hired me for the job. I have to be responsible for it and make sure he’s
happy with my work.” George didn’t make any comment. He might seem unruffled but in fact, he had
been observing the expression on her face. She seemed delighted although she was trying hard to
conceal her joy. Judging from her relaxed eyes and brows, how she had been humming songs without
her realizing and the frequency she stared out of the window, he knew she was looking forward to
meeting Silas. For some reason, George felt jealous and even rage lurking deep down inside him.
Although the sight of her so happy because of Silas pained him, he still kept his eyes glued to her as
though he was trying to punish himself. Then, he spotted a figure walking toward the door of their unit
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfrom the corner of his eyes.
Knowing it was Silas, he rose to his feet instinctively and made his way toward Camila. “Camila…”
Camila, who had been constantly checking the door, turned around out of instinct when she heard her
name. “George, what’s the matter?” The sight of George somehow gave her jitters as she fixed her
gaze at him, wondering what exactly he wanted to do. “Look at what a mess you are,” George
remarked in a gentle voice after removing a white thread from her hair. Trying to sound casual, he
asked, “When are we setting off?”
Camila looked slightly puzzled as she didn’t know what he meant. With his eyes brimming with
affection, George teased her, “Don’t you remember what you promised me before, you muddy-headed
girl?” A look of enlightenment took over her face. “Oh, I did promise to bring you around, didn’t l? Let’s
do that after I help Silas’s father with the fitting of the suit. Do you have any specific place in mind to
visit?” George cast a glance at Silas who had stepped into the place before answering in a carefree
tone, “As I’ve not been in the country for years, I’ll just go with your plan. It doesn’t matter as long as I
get to be with you.” Camila suggested, “Why don’t we visit the hot spring since you told me it has health
benefits?” George responded with ease, “Sounds great to me.” “Very well, I’ll plan the itinerary first and
then we’ll set off tomorrow!” Camila announced with a smile. After responding to her with an ‘oh’,
George puckered his lips toward the door and said, “Your client is here.”
Astonished, she spun around and immediately noticed Silas by the door. There seemed to be nothing
special about his look today but she could tell that he had actually made an effort to dress up. His hair
was styled in a more suave and cool manner and even the tie and cufflinks he wore were new.
Therefore, she was sure he had spent a considerable amount of time in front of the mirror to make sure
he looked great.
Standing rooted to the spot, he was staring intently at her with his brooding eyes. Her heart sank at that
moment. Damn it, was he jealous after overhearing her conversation with George? She eyed George
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmskeptically wondering whether he had broached the subject of the trip just now deliberately. Feeling
anxious, she started fervently praying for Silas to hold his temper and then made her way over with a
wide grin on her face and greeted him politely, “Mr. Nolan!” Silas had never expected that he would
chance upon the two of them sitting so close to each other discussing where to go on the next trip while
he was standing there like an outsider.
At first, he was ecstatic when he received Camila’s call asking him to come over to pick her up. Like a
schoolboy going on his first date, he was so excited about it that he woke up early this morning just to
dress himself up. However, his enthusiasm was totally dampened by reality at the moment. He felt a
burning desire to pull the woman into his arms and commanded the man to just go back to where he
came from because she belonged to him. Nonetheless, he knew very well about the repercussions if
he really did that. It wasn’t even guaranteed that she would go with him but the only thing he could be
sure of was that she would definitely give him a cold shoulder after that.
The last thing he wanted was to get into another fight with her after they just patched things up.
Although raging waves of emotion were surging inside him, he looked unperturbed on the outside.
“Have you completed the suit?”
