“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
Silas nodded and said, "Alright. You're hired. Report to work tomorrow at eight.""Thank you!" Annie said as she bowed deeply, excitement shining brightly on her face, which made her look more favorable in this situation.She was young, beautiful, polite, and capable. Maxwell Corporation needed such people!Annie walked out of the company with delight in her heart and was filled with hope for the future!...A dark gray Maybach pulled up in front of Maxwell Corporation, and Conrad exited the car before going around it to the passenger side to help Fia out.The security guard hurried over and said, "Mr. Maxwell, let me help you park the car.""Alright."Not a moment later, a figure came running toward them. "Mr. Maxwell, do you remember me?" the girl asked as she smiled brightly, her eyes sparkling joyfully.Conrad spared her a glance, and his grip on Fia's wrist tightened. Fia was at a loss and could only use her imagination to guess what the girl before them looked like.
Fia's brow twitched. "Hmm... Are you sure? She seemed overly enthusiastic when she saw you."Conrad frowned but then briefly told her of the incident when he had driven too fast and almost hit Annie.Fia listened, then gave him a helpless smile and said, "Oh, so that's what happened..."But even though she couldn't see, she could hear the adoration and eagerness in the girl's tone just now.Should she say anything about it? But it was obvious that Conrad didn't care about the girl at all. It would seem petty of her if she were to bring it up.For now, she would put it aside. She and Conrad had started over, and getting here had been a difficult journey. She didn't want to make a big deal out of nothing.After entering his office, Conrad had to attend the morning meeting. He placed Fia on the couch and made sure she was comfortable before leaving the room.Before entering the conference room, Conrad looked at the senior executives in the room and stopped."What's wrong, Mr. Maxw
"Silas," Conrad said sarcastically after being silent for a moment."Yes?" Silas replied, looking up in confusion."Check if Fia has been in contact with him lately."Silas seemed to piece together the pieces as he thought back to the pictures he had printed."Do you mean that this designer is Madam...?"...Fia sat rigidly on the couch in Conrad's office. She was tense as she was afraid that someone would walk into Conrad's office at any time.About half an hour later, the door opened, and she turned her head in that direction.Conrad walked in and met her dull eyes with a somewhat cold expression.He hadn't needed Silas to look into it. He was sure it must have been Fia's work just by looking at the picture.No matter how unpleasant things had become between them before because of Esme, they were still husband and wife, weren't they? Why didn't she tell him before she helped Jason?"Is that you, Conrad?" Fia asked, straining her ears. She felt uneasy as she had only heard
Did Fia simply like plain-style designs, or was it because Jason was a factor in it?Everyone knew that Argonauts Corp's line, Gentle Stream, was a reflection of their chairman, Garett's love for his beloved Clarice!And as Jason was Argonauts Corp's successor, Fia must be aware that Garett's love for Clarice was a great irony and hurt to Conrad!Yet, she still helped Jason?!"What's wrong?" Fia asked, sensing that there was something off about Conrad, and reached out to touch his arm.Conrad swatted her hand away instinctively, and the atmosphere between them froze momentarily.Like a bucket of cold water had been thrown on her, Fia bit her lip and panicked. "A-are you angry because I don't want to specialize in extravagant and alternative designs?"Conrad looked at her but said nothing.Fia grasped her earbud tighter. "When my eyes get better, I'll still draw those kinds of designs. You can always talk to me and give me suggestions if there are any in mind."After a pause,
Fia's phone couldn't register her mutterings, so it went into standby after a few minutes of being idle.Fia counted on her fingers and said to herself, "There are still two days and a few more hours till Conrad's birthday."Thinking that Conrad would be in his study for at least half an hour, she spoke to her phone and had it call Eileen.Eileen was currently lying in her hospital room, staring at the ceiling with a blank expression. When her phone rang, she turned to check the caller ID before hurriedly answering it."Hey, Fia! What's up? Tell me all about your day, hmm?"Fia briefly told her about going to work with Conrad, and Eileen suddenly thought of the message from Jason this morning. She hesitated for a few moments before saying, "The design I pitched for you before this has earned quite a sum for the company that bought it. The boss wanted to ask you out for dinner. Do you have time for that?""I don't think it's convenient for me to go out in my condition.""Well,
