Chapter 203 Simon’s Woman
Finally, the business trip to France was over. Silvia and Simon took the same flight back to America. Once they returned to America, everything was back on track, and they resumed busy work.
After all, Silvia returned with glory. This was not only Silvia’s individual honor but also the biggest prize that Carmelo had ever received at all-time. This prize meant a lot to the company. It enabled the company to start to enter the international market.
After this competition, the company named “Carmelo” in America would be known in the perfuming industry abroad. It was because the perfumer of this company won the first prize in the Perfuming Competition and defeated all the rivals from various countries.
The meticulous arrangements were specially made at Carmelo to celebrate. As soon as Silvia
entered the office, her colleagues spraved the confetti on her all over.
“Welcome back, Silvia. Congratulations!” Stella Keith stood in the front to lead the applause,
followed by others with sincere congratulations.
Those who had some prejudice against Silvia before were convinced by Silvia.
After all, they hadn’t known Silvia’s character and strength very well enough before. Even though Silvia joined the company after passing all tests on her own, others were less convinced. Speaking of the Perfuming Competition, when Silvia was selected to participate in the competition in France, some of them were not sanguine, and they even waited to see Silvia make a fool of herself. However, to their surprise, Silvia not only won the prize, but she also took first place. This had never, ever happened before at Carmelo.
It was said that Will Harper, who was very conceited, was the judge of the finals. This proved
Silvia’s strength even more.
So everyone was convinced now.
“Thank you, thank you.” Silvia was not used to being surrounded like this. She politely nodded and thanked them.
*Silvia, you did well. We are so proud to have you in our company. Later, you will be rewarded. By the way, come to my office with me. I have something to tell you,” said the general manager, Wyatt Sullivan
“Mr. Sullivan, Silvia just came back from abroad. Are you going to assign work to her?” Someone spoke up for Silvia, “Anyhow, let her have a rest for a while.”
“That’s right. By the way, this is a big happy event. We should celebrate it, shouldn’t we?”
“Mi Sullivan, how about treating us to a fancy dinner tonight?”
“Great! We look forward to it. This proposal immediately gained the support of many people.
Stella Keith, who spoke up for Silvia just now, waved her hand, “What are you looking forward to? Silvia is the one who has won the prize and honor. It has to do with you. Why are you asking for the
treat?”
Although Stella said so, she was smiling. It was obvious that she was joking.
The others all knew that Stella was a typical person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. They were not shocked at her words. Instead, they began to cheer, “Silvia wins glory for Carmelo, and we work hard for the company, too. Everyone has their own duties. Besides, Silvia is a member of us, and we are all happy for her. So we should celebrate!”
“OK, everyone. Let’s party tonight, on my treat,” Wyatt smiled and said, “but now, back to work. In the following days, we’ll have more work to do. You have to be mentally prepared for the challenge!”
“No problem,” Everyone responded in unison and dispersed to continue their busy work.
Wyatt glanced at Silvia, “Silvia, come with me.”
Silvia had no idea why Wyatt called her, but she knew that it wouldn’t be something bad for her
because she returned with honor. Stella patted Silvia on the shoulder and said, “Go with him and come to me later. I have something to tell you, too.”
“Alright.” Silvia nodded and went to the general manager’s office with Wyatt.
Wyatt closed the door, took a look outside, and pulled down the blinds, but he did not completely block the view outside. Wyatt looked a little mysterious. “Ms. Austin…”
Silvia was stunned.
She wondered, why did Wyatt call me “Ms. Austin” instead of “Silvia”?
“Well… I didn’t know about your relationship with Mr. Palmer. If I said or did something wrong to
you, please don’t take it personally.”
Wyatt scratched the bridge of his nose and said in embarrassment.
Hearing this, Silvia immediately understood. Wyatt knew that she was appointed by the headquarters, but he was not clear about her relationship witli Simon. But after the kidnapping
incident, Silvia was afraid that the relationship between her and Simon could not be concealed
anymore
However, Wyatt should have only known that she had a relationship with Simon, not knowing what It was
“Mr. Sullivan, Mr Palmer and I…”
“I don’t know what your relationship with himis, and I won’t ask. Please rest assured, I won’t leak
it out. Howeversince you want to conceal your identity, sometimes I can’t take extra care of you.
You know…”
“I hope so.” Silvia nodded and said, “Please don’t treat me differently or take extra care of me. I’m just an ordinary employee, and I do my job as required. I’d like to grow with Carmelo.”
Wyatt stared at Silvia for a while. Seeing the sincerity in her eyes, Wyatt heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s better. Actually, with your relationship with Mr. Palmer, you could directly join Warin. Why
did you choose Carmelo?”
Even though Carmelo was a subsidiary of Warin and had Warin as the backer, it was still a small-sized company. In terms of strength, reputation, and assets, it was not compared to Warin at all. So Wyatt wondered why Silvia chose Carmelo.
“Mr. Sullivan, you know my situation when I first came here. With my personal experience and the situation at that time, I was more than happy to get the offer from Carmelo. In addition, Carmelo is
not large in scale, but I feel the aura of striving for excellency. I believe Carmelo will have a bright
future.”
Hearing this, Wyatt was very pleased. “Really? Do you really think so? I… I totally agree with you. I feel that Carmelo will become better and better in the future.”
“That’s for sure.” Silvia nodded with certainty.
“Good, then I have nothing to worry about.” Wyatt heaved a sigh of relief when he received Silvia’s
answer.
From the day Simon called and asked him about Silvia until now, Wyatt had been overwhelmed with anxiety. He never thought that Silvia, an ordinary employee sent from the headquarters, would be Simon’s woman.
With such a person, it was very difficult for Wyatt to do his work. Surely, he could not assign a hard job to Silvia. However, he was afraid that other employees would complain if he always assigned a light workload to Silvia. Meanwhile, Wyatt had to hide Silvia’s identity, and he could not treat her differently. It was too difficult to balance all of this.
But now, Wyatt could relax a bit. Since they had an open talk, it would be easy for Wyatt to handle all of this properly.
“Thank you for your hard work. You must be tired recently. Take a few days off and have a good rest. I will approve it,” said Wyatt.
“Thank you, but I am good. If you don’t need me for anything else here, I’ll go resume my work,” Silvia said with a smile.
