"Why didn't she call me?" Conrad slammed the table and stood up. "Does she even consider me her boss?"Silas dared not make a sound.He felt that if Fia continued like this, Conrad might be driven insane and revert to his original state.In the cafeteria, Fia was surrounded by a group of lively girls."Secretary Sia, how did you apply to become our CEO's secretary?""You're amazing, Secretary Sia!""Our CEO has always had only Silas as his secretary. He's never hired a girl before. You're the first one!""Secretary Sia, share your experience with us!""We'll treat you to a big meal as a thank you!"She flashed a knowing smile. "It's actually quite easy. Our CEO may seem aloof, but deep down, he's rather susceptible and cannot withstand clinginess.“As long as you have the courage and thick skin to express your sincerity, you can definitely achieve it!"She gestured a cheering pose to everyone. "I'm full now, so enjoy your meal, everyone."As she was about to leave with her
Conrad roared. "Scram!"Silas brought his bodyguards to pull away the group of crazy female employees.Conrad said coldly, "No exceptions the next time. Just get out of here if there’s a next time!"The female employees were trembling.Fia hummed a little tune while sorting out the CEO's schedule for today.Catching a glimpse of him coming in, she said, "Hey, Mr. Maxwell, you have a meeting to hold this morning. It's time to go to the conference room."Conrad cast a resentful look. "You are instigating female employees to cause trouble.""Really? Why didn't I know?" Fia looked confused. "I only saw that you, Mr. Maxwell, were so charming that you made all the female employees in your company go crazy!""!!!" Conrad walked to her desk. If he hadn't personally seen her unconcerned expression with his own eyes, he would have thought she was jealous.Fia pretended to sigh and shrugged."Mr. Maxwell, you are as impressive as when you were younger. You don't have to worry about thr
Returning to Aurora Residences, she met an acquaintance at the elevator door – Jason Evans.He brought his mother with him, and neither mother nor son seemed to be in good condition.Fia wanted to pretend not to have seen them and go straight to the elevator."Miss Sia!" Jason stopped her. "Are you and Eileen friends?"Fia was silent for a moment. "What do you want?""Thank you for helping Eileen." Jason’s gaze looked complicated. "Your Twitter account has been exposed."Fia looked at him and thought about the past.Jason explained, "My mother and I came to see her, but we couldn't get through her phone.""Oh," Fia said expressionlessly. "Then I'll ask her if she wants to see you."Jason stared blankly at her as she made the call. Her voice sounded very much like Fia.Now she stood up for Eileen again, which was not something ordinary friends would be willing to do.Could she really be Fia?He didn't dare to ask. If she was Fia but didn't want to admit it, she must have her
Several kinds of fruits were washed.After washing the fruits, Eileen was not in a rush to go out. She said melancholically, "If they look for me every day like this, sooner or later someone will dig out the information and expose it to the world."Fia replied, "Yeah. You have to be mentally prepared. It is inevitable that those people online will bite you.""Just let them bite. I'm used to it. That auntie looks very fragile. I'm afraid she will be scolded." Eileen was upset when she thought of Clarice crying.Fia joked, "You haven't even acknowledged her yet, and you're feeling sorry for her already?""She is a pitiful person." Eileen paused, looked at Fia thoughtfully, and said, "Jason is also quite pitiful."Fia smacked her butt and said, "Don't tell me this. Since you invited them in, just go and entertain them."Eileen replied, "Sigh. I'm not as lucky as you. If Jason was so kind to me back then, I would definitely remarry!"Fia was speechless.The two put away their joki
"My adoptive parents died young. I think my fate with relatives is not great. Now that it has become like this, let's just let it go."Looking at Clarice’s tears again, Eileen spoke softer and quieter."I'm sorry. If we could have found you in the first place, you wouldn't have suffered so much." Clarice cried.Eileen rubbed her temples. "Um...Mr. Evans, please advise your mother.""I'm your brother." Jason’s gentleness revealed a seriousness.Eileen was silent for a few seconds, then said with a cold expression, "I'm living pretty well now. I don't have to worry about food, clothing, and I have my freedom. But you guys coming to me will only make my life complicated.""Eileen, Mom simply wants to acknowledge you and doesn't want you to do anything for us.""Yes, you can say what you want, but after we get to know each other, I will have to change my lifestyle for you."Eileen’s expression became unsightly. "For example, I have to accompany you to dinner during the New Year and
"Wait!" Jason took a deep breath. "If you accepted the help I gave you, can't I get your help in return?"Fia tensed up and got to her feet. "What do you mean?""That's it. Anyway, I respect your choice." After Jason finished speaking, he hung up in a panic.He heard the conversation between Eileen and her in the kitchen. Although she didn't say outright that she was Fia, it was already obvious.He was excited, but couldn't question her. After thinking about it, he decided to respect her.If she did not admit it, he would not ask.To have been able to meet her again was already a blessing from the heavens.Fia was dumbfounded for a few seconds before she realized that Jason might have overheard something while she and Eileen were talking in the kitchen.After Conrad’s meeting, he found that she had packed up her things and left, and almost overturned the table.Silas was frightened. "Madam's current temperament is probably one that will accept the soft approach rather than the
The people in the black car seemed desperate. They drove their cars on a rampage despite the many bodyguards around and followed Conrad’s direction with a few shots.Conrad dragged Silas around to avoid the bullets. It was so dangerous. He would have been shot if he was a little slower.As things were, many of Conrad’s bodyguards were being knocked away and knocked down. The situation was not good!A sports car roared up and wedged itself in between the black car and Conrad's. The window was lowered, and a shot was fired at the black car’s front passenger seat.The person in the driver’s seat of the black car saw that his accomplice in the passenger seat was injured and immediately changed direction and ran off."Are you okay?!" Victor got out of the sports car and ran to Conrad.Conrad bit his tongue, pressed his suit on the spot where Silas was shot in the chest, and said with a terrible expression. "Call Tiger for me and tell him to go to the hospital!"Silas had been shot at
Some past events came to mind. Although Silas was loyal to Conrad, he always respected her and tried his best to protect her.All of Conrad's subordinates gave her warmth.And they didn't hurt her like Conrad did.Only then did she realize that she was not that ruthless these five years.She didn't want anything to happen to Silas."I knew you would come!" The moment Conrad saw her, his tense body relaxed a little and he quickly walked to her.Fia pushed his outstretched hand away. "Don't touch me! Where is Silas now? What kind of injury does he have?"Conrad replied, "A gunshot wound. It’s close to the heart."Fia gave him a hard look. "Those people around you don’t have a good life!"Conrad kept silent.After Fia disinfected her whole body, she put on surgical clothes and entered the operating room. Conrad wanted to follow her in, but she stopped him."Get out!"Conrad wanted to say something, but Victor dragged him out.Victor advised him, "She’s in a bad temper right n
