Silas nodded with confidence. "Of course | can.”
Pearl, still skeptical, decided to give him a chance. Over the next few days, Silas focused on his work, only interrupting it to pick up Pearl when it was
tto leave the office.
Assuming that Silas had finally dedicated himself to work, Pearl didn't pay much attention to his activities.
However, about a week later, during working hours, Silas strolled into her office and casually placed his phone on her desk.
"Look," Silas said with an air of mystery, piquing Pearl's curiosity as she glanced at the phone on her desk.

To her astonishment, Silas had managed to get 20 million followers on his new account in just one week.
"Is this your account?" Pearl inquired, still somewhat doubtful.
"Yes, didn't you notice? The recordings and the usernwere mine," Silas replied, grinning broadly and pointing at himself.
"Tellwhere you got this account,” Pearl demanded, finding it hard to believe that he had built up such a massive following in such a short time.
"Okay, I'll cclean. | bought the account.”
"Bought?" Pearl raised an eyebrow, realizing that an account with 20 million followers likely cost a huge amount of money, possibly hundreds of
thousands or even millions of dollars. She couldn't resist a touch of sarcasm. "The Quinton family must have a gold mine."
Silas felt a pang of sadness at her words. "I had intended to grow my account organically, but no matter what | did, my views seemed to be restricted.
The money | spent to gain attention exceeded the cost of buying the account.”
Although losing those millions of dollars didn't bother him much, hearing Pearl's sarcastic comment left a bad taste in his mouth.
Pearl couldn't help but sympathize with him after his explanation.
Limited views... Richard must be behind this. But why? Was it for revenge?”
"Why do you have to focus on this account?" Pearl questioned. "Someone is clearly targeting you and trying to limit your exposure. Maybe it's tfor
you to step back from being an influencer."

Silas, however, was determined not to give up. He stood up with a serious expression and declared, "Even though | don't understand why someone is
doing this, | joined this company to persevere."
His tone made it sound like he had a genuine passion for his work. Rolling her eyes, Pearl said, "Be serious.”
"I just want to stay by your side, Pea," Silas said with a sweet smile and moved closer to her. "If | can work here, | can spend twith you every day.
It's only a matter of tbefore | win you over."
Pearl couldn't help but feel the need to find a way to get rid of this persistent man. Before she could say anything, however, her office door suddenly
swung open.
Wayne entered and was taken aback by how close Pearl and Silas were standing. Nevertheless, he remembered the purpose of his visit and said,
"There's someone here to see you, Miss Pearl."
