Chapter 102 There Will Be No Gossip “Alright, just don’t find trouble with her in future.” “Of course, Mr. Mccarthy. Don’t worry,” Joe replied. In high spirits, Brian declared, “Consider the half a million debt you owe me repaid!” After he’d said that, he hung up the phone, leaving Joe dumbfounded. Shortly after Camila arrived at the studio, Silas came. Camila was rather surprised upon seeing him, so she smilingly joked, “Is this an Undercover Boss visit, President Nolan?” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Walking into the room, Silas looked around before proclaiming with a serious expression, “I’m just here to see whether you’re slacking on the job!” “Look how dedicated I am.” Camila stretched her dirty hands out to him. “Just leave the grunt work to the others. You don’t have to do it.” Camila curled her lips. “You’re still looking down on the working class?” Throwing her a sidelong glance, he said, “Don’t simply put words in my mouth. I obviously meant that each person has his or her own forte. While you’re poor at such a task, they’re definitely not as good as you when it comes to design!” Camila nodded in satisfaction. Well, his explanation passed muster. “Oh yes, I’ve got something to ask you. Was it you who did that to the two people on Jordan Bridge yesterday?” Silas cocked an eyebrow. “What do you think?” “It was you!” Camila’s voice was filled with conviction. Neither affirming nor denying it, Silas turned and asked with a smile, “Where’s South?” “He’s inside.” As Camila said that, she called out in the direction of the inner room, “South, come here!” In no time, South came running out, his hands dirty as well. “Gosh, why did you get all dirty as well?” Camila took him to the sink. “I wanted to help them finish faster;” South explained. While Camila rolled up his sleeves, she chided, “Didn’t you hear your Uncle Silas say that each person has his or her own forte? This is not our forte, so you should just focus on studying.” When the two of them came out after washing their hands, Silas said, “I noticed that Grandpa was in a good mood yesterday, and it was all thanks to South. I’m just thinking of going back to Nolan Residence, so I’d like to ask South whether he’d like to go and visit Grandpa.” Knowing what he meant, South hurriedly piped up, “Sure!” Camila quickly tugged at him. “No, I don’t think he should go. South is too
rambunctious, so he’ll disrupt your grandpa’s rest. Just take him over when your grandpa’s health has improved.” “I’m aware of your concerns, but you don’t need to worry about anyone saying anything with me there. You might think that Grandpa has plenty of people keeping him company that he doesn’t even have time to rest, considering the vastness of the Nolan Family and its businesses, but in reality, he’s actually very lonely. There isn’t even anyone to talk to him usually. I think he loves chatting with South because he always asked why South didn’t come along every time I went back. As you said, keeping a patient’s spirits high is extremely crucial. If you don’t have any other concerns, please allow me to take your child with me. In any case, I can even pay for the privilege.” Since he’d said as much, Camila couldn’t possibly refuse anymore. Besides, she just felt a tad distressed at the thought of that adorable old man without any company. “Will you be there as well?” “Yes. I usually leave at noon so that I don’t disrupt Grandpa’s nap,” Silas replied. “Do you want to go, South?” Nodding, South answered, “Yes.” Only then did Camila look at Silas, her tone solemn. “I don’t need any payment. South is going over to keep him company out of the kindness of his heart and because he enjoys a close relationship with him. Thus, it won’t be good if people gossip about us, mistaking his good intentions for bad.” Silas inhaled deeply. This little lady is truly eloquent. “Okay, I got it. I promise there will be no gossip.” Camila then gave South a few reminders, saying, “Don’t make noise there, and just visit for a short while, okay?” “Okay, Mommy!” As South said that, he walked out with Silas. After the two of them had driven a fair distance away, Silas asked, “Will your mommy think that I abducted you?”
