Conrad was speechless for a couple of seconds. “I’m not a pervert. I don’t have the time to stare at girls at those places!”Fia laughed. “But every time you are with me, you want the lights on?”Conrad’s face turned a little red. He glanced at Sophia, feeling extremely awkward!Sophia closed her eyes with her head lowered, not looking at either of them.This was a fight between them, husband and wife. She would shut up if she could shut up. Otherwise with her boss’s habit of always taking revenge, she was afraid that he was going to throw her back to the training camp!She had finally got a breath of fresh air after so much effort. She did not want to return to the dull training camp!“From how I see it, she must have a deep understanding of Britney to be able to pretend to be her. She probably has gotten rid of the moles on her body. As for the mole on Britney’s butt, as long as she knows Britney well, she should be able to plant one.” Fia spoke faintly. “So there is no need to
Sophia looked at Fia. “Yeah. Don’t get angry. I’m not complaining, neither am I saying that saving Doctor Sally was wrong.”Fia smiled faintly. “I know. However, I still need to apologize to you. You have worked so hard for so long but were not able to catch the mastermind behind the scene.”“That is thanks to Sir. Doctor Sally is your friend. Sir won’t watch on without doing anything,” Sophia said optimistically. “In the future we will have other chances. That person has a huge appetite and will appear sooner or later, and sooner or later, we’ll be able to catch him!”Fia looked at Sophia and felt like she was hiding something.She felt that Conrad targeting the hotel should not be merely because the other party was blocking his path.However, she did not continue to ask as Sophia clearly would not reveal anything.“To have alerted him, I’m afraid it would be even harder to catch him in the future.”Sophia could not help but sigh. “Isn’t that right?” For the sake of catching th
“No.” Peter spoke indifferently and took out a wad of cash from his wallet. “This is the compensation for accidentally hitting your car door.”Sophia accepted the money and looked at Peter with scrutiny.She was a spy for over a month and she had registered every single staff and guests in that hotel into her mind.However, after searching through her mind, she could not find the face before her.Perhaps this person had passed by the hotel and had seen her at the front desk? This explanation would make sense.However, she found it a little odd.Looking at Peter bringing Esme away, Sophia felt her head hurt.“What’s wrong with you?” Fia got out of the car and asked Sophia as she looked at her.“That man just now was a little odd. But I can’t tell exactly what was wrong,” Sophia said.“Have you seen him before?” Fia had heard Peter’s conversation with Sophia.Sophia shook her head. “I dare to bet that I’ve never seen him before!”Fia thought back to the day of Sally’s unfortun
Esme thought about how Peter had just given a stranger a wad of money and she felt so angry!She did not have a job right now.All the money she had from her performance and stocks had been arranged to be taken away by her father after she faked her death.Since she returned to the country, she had never properly bought anything! Today, with Peter’s card in her hands, she must ruthlessly swipe it!She entered a famous jewelry shop under Maxwell Corporation and very quickly found a series of products that were luxurious and special. They were very beautiful and captivating.“Please take out this necklace.” Esme’s eyes lit up as she stared at a particular necklace.The staff wore a pair of gloves, carefully taking out the necklace of the style she wanted.“Miss, you have great taste. This is our company’s most popular, and also newest, style of jewelry.”Esme nodded, liking the feeling of being praised.“Can I try it on?”“Of course you can.” The staff took out a mirror, took o
If she had not been so immature back then… If she had not chosen to leave him and go overseas…! Then, she would have become a pianist and a renowned jewellery designer!The more she thought about it, the more hatred she felt in her heart!Esme calmed down as she noticed the hostility focused on her. “I am your customer, am I not? And customers are always right,” she said coldly. “I just don’t like this necklace, no matter how good it is. What? Can’t I just pick another one?”She twisted her words to make it seem like it was the fault of this worker rather than hers.“How could a reputable organization like Maxwell Corporation hire a worker like you?! Let me guess, you don’t want me to choose another necklace because this one is priced at a higher price than the others, am I right?”“You…” The staff was dumbfounded by this woman! She never expected a woman who looked so sweet and innocent to actually be a vile and unreasonable witch!Esme raised her chin arrogantly. “Now show me
The staff could not help but chip in, “Not just in the city, miss. The whole planet!”A scowl appeared on Esme’s face upon hearing that. “What do you mean by that?! Are you mocking me?!”“No, we’re talking about zombies.” Sophia leaned on the display table and flicked her hair alluringly as she sized Esme up in disdain. “Or perhaps… Miss Thomas, do you harbour ill intent all day long? If you don’t, you wouldn’t think others are badmouthing you when you overhear their conversations.”Sophia had a sharp tongue. Her words miffed Esme to the point of losing her words.“Okay, come on now, Sophia. Let’s not get too teasy.” Fia tapped on Sophia’s hand and took a good look at her necklace via the mirror.It was indeed her design. And it was selling really well too! Although Conrad had gifted her a set of jewelry that were designed by her, they were not branded with Maxwell Corporation’s trademark. So it was quite a fun experience buying her own work that had the company’s trademark in
“Sorry, Miss Thomas. I’ve bought this necklace.”Esme continued browsing and found two more sets that she liked. “How much are these two sets?”When the staff presented her the price tags, Esme’s eyes widened after she did the math. “300,000 dollars?”“You are correct, miss.”“But her necklace doesn’t even cost 50 thousand! Why are these ones so expensive?!” Esme felt that the staff could be in cahoots with Fia to mess with her!The staff frowned. “Miss, you are looking to purchase a set of jewelry. This lady here only bought a necklace.”“But isn’t hers a premium, limited collection? Then it should be the most pricey one!” Esme argued.The staff shook her head and said, “No, you got it all wrong, miss. Fia, the designer of this necklace, is not famous yet. Although her designs are labelled as premium, their prices are not as expensive as the existing popular designers’ works.”Seeing Esme staring at her in disbelief, the staff sighed and said, “If you don’t believe me, you c
After the other customers were sent off, only Fia, Sophia, and Esme were left as customers within the store. Seeing this, Esme became anxious and wanted to leave. As she was prepared to leave, the manager called out to her loudly as he was typing on the keyboard, “Miss, please wait for just a short while! I’m still processing your refund!”Esme stopped in her tracks—300,000 dollars was no small amount to her at the moment. It was Peter’s money. This man was quite eccentrically abusive so she did not want to upset him. So she decided to wait for the refund while being watched by Fia and Sophia.A few minutes passed and the refund was not successfully processed yet. Esme asked, “Is it done yet? I’m in a hurry!”“Soon! Very soon, miss! Don’t you worry. It’ll be just a few minutes. I lack the full authorization so I have to talk to the higher-ups for access,” the manager said.Esme took a few tissue papers from her handbag to wipe off the sweat that was rolling off her face. A few mi
