“What do you mean?” Conrad asked.“Should we send Madam Barbara’s sister to another department to avoid any negative effects on Madam Barbara’s reputation?”“Barbara herself isn’t even worried about her own reputation, so what are you worrying for?” Conrad’s attitude was a little heartless. “If work progress is affected by her sister, the both of them can just leave together!”Fia was speechless.Her husband was so stern. She wanted to say something but did not quite dare to.As a wife, she should not meddle too much.Forget it, she’d just listen quietly. Her husband’s words were not wrong.Since Madam Barbara dared to directly hire her sister to be her assistant, then she should have the boldness to bear all the consequences!Therefore, Britney easily entered Maxwell Corporation and became Barbara’s assistant.***In the afternoon, the hour for lunch.Silas went to the canteen to order food for Conrad and Fia, and coincidentally met Barbara leading Britney along.He looked
The matter of Britney entering the company passed just like that and thanks to Barbara, the entire Foreign Affairs Department had a very good attitude toward her and nobody dared to bully or order her about.She arranged work for Barbara properly every day and did not have any free time.Every day when it was lunch time, she would subconsciously search for a figure in the canteen.When she saw Silas, she would greet him obediently.In a blink of an eye, quite a few days passed and Fia was about to sit for her exams.Conrad personally called the Ministry of Education and without expending too much effort, he was able to arrange a chance for Fia to take the exams.Fia wanted to end things fast and so arranged it to be the next day.The Ministry of Education and the dean of her previous university personally invigilated. There were even surveillance cameras, and everything was done properly without any intention for favoritism or cheating.“Silas, what time is it?”Conrad sat out
“Alright!” Sally was quite happy. She had thought that with Conrad’s character, he would not go, and would not have allowed Fia to go as well.After all, going to Jason and Britney’s blind date last time was a situation where she did not tell them in advance.At night, Fia brought up her appointment with Sally the next day.Conrad frowned but thinking that she would get her results tomorrow, in order to ensure she wasn’t too worried, he would accompany her and participate in her gathering, which seemed to work too.***At ten o’clock, Conrad and Fia departed for the restaurant Sally had booked.Sally was already there, and while talking to her brother, she caught a glimpse of the people at the restaurant entrance and immediately went forward to welcome them.“Fia, did your exam go well?”“Results aren’t out yet.”Sally patted her slender arm. “You like designing so much and the drafts you draw are amazing! I’m sure you will be able to get good results!”Fia was a design major
Britney’s gaze was a little cool and seemed to be complaining a bit.Conrad faintly swept her a glance, treating her gaze as just blaming him for spouting nonsense.He had indeed said so on purpose. Who cares about how she was with Peter.He only wanted to quickly find Jason a partner so that he would stop pining for his wife.“Fia.” Britney looked at Fia somewhat fearfully. “Who is he?”Fia gently lifted the corner of her lips. “My husband.”“Oh, oh. Fia’s husband.” Britney seemed to casually ask, “Sally, do you and Jason know Fia’s husband?”“What are you saying?” Peter replied indifferently. “Who in Gryphon dares to not know Mr Maxwell?”Britney secretly bit her lip, like a little lady secretly in love, carefully looking at Peter.Her eyes also seemed to contain a little delight. “Peter, turns out you also know Fia’s husband. Then in the future, we will all be friends.”“Just who is your friend?” Conrad said mercilessly.Fia knew his temper and only smiled apologetically
“No need.” Conrad insisted on personally bringing Fia to the restroom.Britney quietly followed behind the both of them, staring at him holding Fia’s wrist and quietly pinched the palm of her hand.When they reached the ladies, Fia pushed Conrad lightly.“Wait outside.”“Alright, if there’s anything, call me.”Britney immediately went forward. “Fia, let me help you in.”After dealing with their business, and Fia came out, Britney helped her to the sink to wash her hands.“Thank you, Britney.” Thinking of Conrad’s attitude, she apologized. “Don’t take it to heart. He is a person with deep thoughts, so it is hard for him to accept other people’s kind intentions.”“It’s fine. As long as you know that I’m sincere, that’s enough. How he sees it does not matter.” Britney’s tone was light and friendly.After Fia washed her hands, she led her to the hand dryer to dry her hands.After that, she took out her own hand moisturizer and helped her to apply it.Fia smelled the peach blosso
Sally was a little disappointed. “Alright then. We’ll gather again another day.”“Alright.” Thinking of the peach blossom fragrance hand moisturizer, she said, “Sally, can you send us off?”Sally was not a fool either. She could feel that Fia had something to ask her, so she went back to her brother, Jason, and Britney to inform them and then accompanied Fia and her husband out of the restaurant.At the parking lot, Fia pushed Conrad lightly.“I want to drink milk tea. Take a look around and see if there are any milk tea shops nearby and help me get one.”Conrad took a look around and saw that there were two milk tea shops on the opposite side.”Okay. Wait for me here.”He looked at Sally. “Please stay with her.”“I will, Mr. Maxwell.”Hearing his footsteps growing distant, Fia bit her lip and asked. “Sally, I would like to ask you about Britney.”“What about her?” Sally was a little lost. “Did she say something to you in the restroom?”Fia hesitated for a moment. “She’s qui
“I want to wash my hands.”The moment they arrived home, Fia spoke up coldly.Sitting in the car, she smelled the peach blossom fragrance on her hands and felt inexplicably nauseous.Conrad held her hand and took a look. “What’s wrong with your hands?”“I want to wash my hands!” Her voice was a little shrill as she pushed his hand aside and started moving forward.Conrad frowned, taking a step forward and holding her up by the waist.“Alright, let me support you.”***In the washroom, Fia did not just wash her hands. She even took a bath.She soaked herself in the bathtub and made Conrad add a lot of sea salt scent to her bubble bath.She wanted to cover up the peach blossom fragrance lingering in her nostrils.“Fia, you should get out now.”Conrad returned to the bathroom from the study. An hour had already passed and she still did not plan to get out.“Do you smell it?” Fia spoke faintly.Conrad subconsciously sniffed about. “What?”“Peach blossom fragrance.” Her smile
“You don’t know?” Fia laughed lightly. “When she came of age, you gave her a set of peach blossom scented skin care products, and on the packaging were huge pink peach blossoms.“You say you don’t know?”This lie was not the least bit perfect.Conrad was slightly stunned and then at a loss.“I didn’t.”Fia was instantly angered and pushed away his hand, wanting to get off the chair.She lost her balance and just as she was about to fall, Conrad scooped her back into his arms.“Let me help you dry your hair.”His voice was gentle, instantly suppressing Fia’s anger.She was like a puppet as she let him dry her hair.After drying her hair, he picked her up and walked over to the bedroom’s big bed and said, “You should have your afternoon nap now.”After a sleep, her mood should be a little better.The moment Fia hit the bed, she turned around and lay on her tummy.Conrad stared at the back of her head, feeling that she was in a very bad mood.After hesitating, he sat down on
