Chapter 19 Would You Still be willing to Work Here?
Naturally, Silas entered the house. He took a look around. Though all the rooms had the same layout, hers somehow felt warmer
and cozier.
Gianna was feeling a bit awkward. She had just finished giving the little guy his medicine, so the house was a mess.
While she invited him in, she was also busy cleaning up. “Is it just the two of you here?” he asked. “Yes,” she
answered. Feeling like
it came off rather cold, she added, “Have a seat, Mr. Nolan. I‘ll go make you a cup of tea.” Then, she entered the kitchen. Silas q
uickly interjected, “That‘s not necessary. I came to look for you about something. Have a seat and we can talk.” However, she stil
l came out with a cup of tea in her hands
and placed it in front of him. “We don‘t have great quality tea in our house. Please just have this for now.” He extended his hands
out of courtesy. “That‘s okay.” After Gianna put the cup down, she sat
down opposite him. Sitting next to Silas, South blinked his big black
eyes as he looked around in amusement. “I want to eat some fruits, Mommy.”
She looked at him pointedly then went to get some fruits for him. As soon as the fruits were served, South plucked a grape off an
d handed it to Silas. “For you, Uncle Silas!” Silas reached out to caress his head. “Thank you. You can eat it.” “Mommy brought t
his out just for you. I like apples.” As he said that, he grabbed an apple and handed it
to Silas once more. Seeing the astonished look on Silas‘s face, South asked, “Can you help me peel this, Uncle Silas?” Gianna f
elt perplexed. She hurriedly reached out and said, “Let me, Mr. Nolan.” But Silas refused, “It‘s okay. I can do it.” South glanced at
Silas. I gave you a chance, Daddy. Make sure to do well.
Over the next five minutes, the two of them were on edge as they stared at the apple in Silas’s hands. South was worried that
Gianna would be dismayed by Silas’s poor performance, but Gianna was only feeling anxious for the apple. How can someone
peel an apple like that?
There were dents and bumps all over it. It looked like it had returned from war, all battered and bruised.
Silas was also apologetic and said stiffly, “You can just eat what‘s left of it. I‘ve never peeled an apple for anyone before.” South
had no desire to eat the apple before, but after hearing what Silas said, he gladly
accepted it. “That‘s alright. This is not bad for the first time.” Silas smiled. “I‘ll do it properly next time.” South nodded in agreeme
nt. “Yeah, it‘s always hard the first time!” The
corner of Gianna‘s lips twitched. She felt bitter just looking at South buttering up to Silas. He‘s still happily eating that
apple even though it looks like that. He‘s too biased. Is everything that Silas does good? That‘s just groundless! She looked up at
Silas and asked, “How‘s your grandfather?” Silas turned to her and the light in his eyes dimmed slightly. “After you left that day,
he was up for no more than thirty minutes. We gave him something to eat then he went back to sleep. Later in the night, he
woke up again and was awake for almost two hours.”
She nodded. “That‘s normal. Since it‘s a brain disease, constantly needing sleep is normal. Let him eat more light food. He can h
ave more eggs, milk, and the like.” He took note of that. “But I didn‘t come to see you for that today.” There was
a moment of hesitation. It was hard for him to continue, but he felt restless even at the office. If he did not clear things up, he felt
like he would be constantly bothered by it. She
looked at him in astonishment. “Oh? What is it? Just tell me directly, Mr. Nolan.” Taking a deep breath, he continued, “When you
came to the company last time to apply for a position, I said a lot of awful things to you. I was actually wrong about you. I was
wondering if you would still be willing to come work at Nolan Group?”
