Silas Thorne was a rational man. After being captivated at first sight, he calmed down and secretly visited Graymoor several more times. Once he was sure his feelings for her weren't just a fleeting impulse, he began to think about how to win her over.
However, Joyce Monroe was still young back then and utterly devoted to Jasper Quinn. She had to study in Graymoor, while he had just taken over his company and was required to stay in Northgate for long periods.
All signs told him:
Stealing her away,
was unrealistic.
But during this time, he grew especially close to Kian Jacobs.
Although Kian Jacobs was younger than him, his grandfather, Mr. Jacobs, was in poor health, so Kian had started getting involved in the company's affairs back in high school. Using the excuse of wanting to learn how to do business, Silas met with him more frequently than any of their other friends.
Whenever Kian Jacobs needed help, Silas was the first to respond and take action.
