Conrad nodded and walked into the hotel without looking anywhere else.In the lobby, Victor had already drunk three glasses of water as if he was on fire. When he saw Conrad walking over, he slammed the glass on the table and looked at him with eyes that could spew fire.“Oh, are you that angry?” Conrad said as he sat opposite of him and threw the document over. “Read it.”Victor grabbed the document and simply slammed it on the table. He wasn't in the mood to read it.“Be direct. What will it take for you to give Eileen back to my company?”“There are so many female celebrities here. What’s so special about Eileen?”Victor was stunned by the question. Conrad didn't wait long for Victor to respond and sneered, “You don't even know yourself! All you wanted to do was to make her stay with you. Aren’t you worried that you’ll force her to commit suicide?”“I told you. My private affairs are none of your business.”“If Ms. Reid wasn'tFia’s best friend, I wouldn’t have bothered,” C
Annie’s eyes brightened when she understood Victor's words. “You’re family!”“Yes,” Victor smiled widely. “Did you want to join the Maxwell Corp as a translator?”“Yes! Since you’re his cousin, does that mean you’re also working in the corporation? Are you the assistant CEO? Manager? Could I ask you something?” Annie asked excitedly and happily.“I started my own business, so I no longer manage the Maxwell Corp. But I can help you with your job application.”“Really? I’m so grateful! But I don’t want to get you into too much trouble. I was just worried that large companies emphasized a lot in working experience. I didn’t work much but I can speak a few foreign languages. You rest assured that I have the necessary abilities!”“I can help you with the work experience.”“That’s great!”“I might need your help later on too.”“Don’t worry. If you need my help, I won’t reject it!’Victor took out his mobile and added Annie’s contact details. He then saw her off with a gentle smile.
“Alright. I’ll tell Silas to arrange it.”“Thank you.”Conrad held Fia’s chin and kissed her lips.“If you want to thank me, will you carry out your wifely duties for me?”“Sure,” Fia said as she kissed his lips. She was so embarrassed that even her breathing started to get chaotic.Conrad enjoyed her careful advances. After a short while, he turned into the tables on her and carried her upstairs for a midday rest.... Eileen ensured she was fully covered as she took the elevator back to her apartment. As she stepped out of the elevator, she caught sight of a person in front of her apartment.She quickly turned to hide.However, the man had seen her. He flicked away the cigarette butt, chased after her, and trapped her against the wall with both hands.“Why are you running?”“Let me go!” Eileen stared back.Victor’s blood was surging as he grabbed her by the throat.“Where were you with Conrad’s assistant after the wedding?!”“That has nothing to do with you!”“Ha!” V
Eileen felt like her head was splitting apart.She and Victor had been together for three years, and he would always appear well-groomed. It made her almost forget what kind of a mad and heartless person he was after he removed his disguise.Victor looked at her viciously and began to remove his belt.“You forced my hand!”When Eileen saw what was happening, she roared, “If you touch me, I’ll kill myself!”“Don’t threaten me with your death!”Her words made Victor remember Conrad’s warning toward him, and he became even angrier. He threw his belt on the ground and quickly marched toward Eileen.“I must have indulged you too much. That’s why you forgot where your place is!”His words were cold and brutal, said like a heartless beast.Eileen crawled away and wanted to run, but she accidentally fell to the ground.Victor stepped on her ankle and applied some pressure on the limb.“Stay with me or get thrown into hell. Choose one!”There was only pain in Eileen’s eyes, and he s
”Can you activate text to sound?”“I’ll install an app from our company. It can convert word messages into spoken words.”“Alright, thank you.”After Conrad installed the app, the AI began scanning all of Eileen’s messages before reading the replies out loud.Fia finally stopped worrying. “Can you please reply and tell her that she should come to see me if she's in trouble? She doesn't have to handle it alone.”“Alright.”Fia paused, then said, “She’s quite prideful and stubborn. Make it sound nicer so she can’t refuse.”The vein on Conrad’s forehead began to pop as he rewrote the message. “Then should I reply to her that I’m your husband and, as such, have a duty to serve you and your friends so that I’ll always remember that you’re my wife so she doesn’t have to feel embarrassed about reaching out for help?”Fia blushed and said, “That’s fine.”Conrad felt that he was one-tenth as important as Eileen to her.Eileen was lucky she hadn't died from the jump she took!In the
“I’m a celebrity, and I have trauma dealing with feral fans. I was worried they would pretend to be workers and sneak into my house.”“But...”“Ouch... My head hurts,” Eileen said as she reached up to hold her head. “The interview ends here. If you have any more questions, you can ask my ex-boss and his wife. They’ll be able to clarify things for me.”Outside the door, Silas heard everything clearly. He was quite impressed with how calmly Eileen handled things and her wisdom in redirecting the reporters. With Sapphire's current station, she would never verbally acknowledge that Eileen was a homewrecker and that the latter had gotten between them in her marriage.And from the looks of it just now, Victor had also been scared by how she had just jumped from the building. He wouldn’t come looking for her for a while as well.Once everyone left, Silas went in.“Ms. Reid. Do you have any plans after this? You can let me know, and I'll arrange everything for you.”Eileen looked at h
What? Name Conrad's company Fileen?Fia repeated the name a few times, letting it roll on her tongue, and it didn't feel too right either."Then... How about Conrad Entertainment?"Conrad smiled exasperatedly and brushed a lock of loose hair behind her ears."It's fine. Let's stick to Fileen, hmm?"Fia grinned at his agreement, then threw her arms around Conrad's neck before leaning in to whisper, "So... Should we ask Eileen to invest in this company?"The warmth in Conrad's eyes faded a little. "Fia, don't overdo it.""Okay. Just forget what I said," Fia replied, loosening her hold on his neck.As Fia retracted her arms, Conrad felt his heart turn empty. To combat the ache, he smoothly transferred Fia to his lap."We'll discuss it. You'll work as my secretary first. Then I'll consider the matter of getting Eileen Technology to invest."Fia panicked a little at his words. "W-wait... You want a blind woman to be your secretary. Are you crazy?""You're very talented in design.
After Fia and Conrad finished breakfast, he carried her into the car.Fia sat in the passenger seat, nervously wringing her hands together. When she heard Conrad get into the driver's seat, she asked worriedly, "Why don't I wait till I get my college diploma before following you to the office?"She was worried that his employees would see her and think that she was a disgrace, since she was not only blind, but she also didn't have any qualifications!Conrad took her hand and said in a calm and forceful voice, "A person's talent is more than just a diploma. The two designs that my company bought from you led to a new wave of business. No one will look down on you when I tell them that you were the designer responsible for that.""But how do I explain that I don't have my diploma right now...?""You've been smart since you were a child. I'm sure it won't take long before you have it in hand."Fia's mind was still in a mess, so it was good that Conrad had arranged everything for her
