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.”
Gianna 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 from the corner of his eyes. Knowing it was Silas,

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?” Gianna 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.” Gianna 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!” Gianna 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 skeptically 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!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSilas 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 Gianna’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?”
