Chapter 204 Silvia, I Love You!
After coming out of Wyatt’s office, Silvia went straight to Stella’s office.
Stella had been waiting there, as well as Winnie Murray. Silvia saw an opened bottle of champagne and three glasses on the office table. Obviously, they were waiting for her to come back and celebrate.
“It’s not good to drink during working hours.” Silvia shook her head and said with a smile.
“Who said we drank wine? We just have the water of victory!” Stella corrected her, “Come on, close the door.”
After closing the office door and pulling down the blinds, the three of them felt like they were doing something bad in the office.
“Aren’t we supposed to celebrate after work? Why are you in such a hurry?” Although Silvia said this, she still went over and picked up a glass of wine.
“Tonight, everyone will celebrate together. Now, only Stella and I celebrate for you. It’s different, of course,” Winnie said and clinked her wine glass against Silvia’s. “Congratulations! We are so happy for you to win the first prize.”
They were really happy for Silvia.
Especially Winnie, the one who had personally seen how Silvia had reached her achievements step
by step.
Winnie had been by Silvia’s side for so long and learned a lot about perfuming. How to analyze the ingredients of the material, refine essential oil, distill, and separate… Winnie had learned a lot of knowledge from Silvia, but Silvia had never gained an honor.
Every day and night, Silvia worked so hard that finally, she made her achievements and resulted in good. However, Silvia was not the one who won the prize in the end.
Back then, Winnie had asked Silvia why and if she was willing to accept it. Winnie always said that one should consider and do what they should do if they could constantly surpass themselves. Hence, they could make out even more perfect perfumes. As for other things like reputation and prize, they were not important or worthy of caring about.
Since Silvia didn’t take it seriously, Winnie couldn’t do anything, even if Winnie wanted to fight injustice for Silvia. So Winnie had to endure and silently accompany Silvia to continue with the
experiments and continue to make perfumes.
Winnie was sure that one day, silvia would take her perfume and stand on that supreme podium, shining her light. This was something that made people feel delighted and excited. Silvia was like a diamond, and nothing could cover her dazzling light.
” Thank you, I am very happy, too.” Silvia clinked her glass against Winnie’s and took a sip of
champagne.
There was a small fruit platter on the table. It seemed that Stella had prepared it. Stella took a sip of champagne and then asked with concern, “By the way, what on earth happened to you in France? Why were you kidnapped? At that time, we could not contact you, so we were so anxious.”
“Kidnapping?” Winnie cried out. She hadn’t known about it. That was why she was so shocked when
she suddenly heard this.
“Well… You don’t know?” Stella thought Winnie knew about it, so she casually said it.
“I don’t know. What kidnapping? How did she get kidnapped? Who did it? Are you okay?” After a series of questions, Winnie put down the glass with force and looked Silvia up and down, extremely
nervous.
Silvia didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “It has been many days. I’m fine.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Winnie asked angrily. She then turned to look at Stella. “And you, you didn’t say anything either! So I was the only one who didn’t know!”
Stella felt a little wronged. “I found out later that she was kidnapped. Back then, Mr. Sullivan called
me to ask if I could contact Silvia. How could I imagine that this had happened? I also asked you if you could contact her, didn’t I?”
“Yes, you did. But you didn’t say it was a kidnapping!”
“I didn’t know it was a kidnapping at that time!”
Listening to the quarrel between Stella and Winnie, Silvia made a “stop” gesture and said, “Well, forget the kidnapping. I am standing here safe and sound. I am totally fine.”
“Then tell us what exactly happened? Who kidnapped you? How did you end up fine?” Stella and
Winnie shifted their gazes to Silvia in unison and questioned her.
Silvia had no choice but to tell them the truth.
Silvia roughly told them about the kidnapping in France. She just skipped the part where Simon went to France to look for her. She also omitted the details of how she fought the robbers, but just made light of that part.
Even so, Stella and Winnie were still so scared that their faces turned extremely pale.
“What! They had guns!”
“Damn! They were international wanted criminals!”
“Silvia, what kind of people have you messed up with?”
Stella and Winnie were slack-jawed, and they sighed. Just imagining that scene would be terrifying.
Looking at Silvia, who seemed to be unharmed at all, they felt it was a miracle.
“Silvia, are you sure you’re fine? In case of anything, you must say it. Don’t keep it in your heart!” Stella looked at Silvia worriedly.
Winnie also said, “Stella is right. Don’t be depressed. No matter what they did, you must tell us. We are your best friends. We will keep the secret for you!”
Silvia was speechless.
“Why does it sound like you guys are hoping that something has happened to me?”
“No, we don’t mean it!”
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
This was the first time Silvia discovered that Stella and Winnie were so united. They said together, “Of course, it would be better if you were fine. We are just worried about you. By the way, you said that the kidnappers were arrested by the police. Did the mastermind get caught? Did he confess what his purpose was?”
“The mastermind…”
Silvia thought of Louis, who had been taken away, and Vivienne, who had been missing in France. In fact, Silvia was not very clear about the follow-up of the case. She only knew that the three kidnappers, together with Louis, had been caught by the police. With those proof of crimes, the punishment to them could not be light.
When Silvia was about to say it, there was a commotion outside, quite loud. Stella frowned, put down the glass in her hand, and walked over to open the door. “What are you all doing? Even if there is a celebration at night, you should work properly now. Do you want to be fired?
“No, it’s not like that. Ms. Keith, take a look…”
Stella didn’t realize that all the employees were facing the direction of the window until then. The outside of the window was filled with many colorful rising balloons in piles, which was very beautiful
“Where were these balloons from?” Stella was very curious, but after all, it was still working hours, So she waved her hand and said, “OK. OK. There’s nothing special but just a few balloons. Do they look as good as your salary? Hurry up. Back to work!”
When Stella had just finished speaking, she saw a few more balloons rising. The point was that this
time, the balloons were tied with long ribbons. There were clear words written on the ribbons, “Silvia, I love you!”
Everyone saw that.
Everyone was stunned.
What was going on?!
Stella immediately closed the office door and turned to Silvia. “Quick! Look out of the window!”
They were in Stella’s office. The door and windows were closed. So they did not pay attention to the
outside of the window. Stella went over and pulled the blinds open, and she happened to see the balloons floating up from outside. There were many of them with tied ribbons. Each of them had the
same words written on them, “Silvia, I love you!”
Silvia was shocked.
She thought, who is fucking playing a prank?
