Chapter 683
“Did you think I wouldn’t know that you instructed Silas and Tiger to investigate Britney behind my back? You even
find ways to avoid me when answering your phone!”
Conrad reached out his hand again, attempting to embrace her, but she evaded him.
He hesitated for a moment, then forcefully grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.
“Let go
of me!” Fla exclaimed. She was extremely shaken and started to pound his chest frantically.
“Fia! Fia, calm down!” Conrad couldn’t help but shout.
Fia stiffened, then she lowered her gaze, no longer struggling.
Conrad gritted his teeth and said, “I didn’t hide it from you, avoid you, or do anything behind your back! I was
worried about your mental state if you knew. I did it for your own good!”
“For my own good? Do you know what’s good for me?” Fia asked, looking up. “Do you?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtConrad furrowed his brows. “I didn’t know before, but I’m trying to change now. I’m making an effort to see things
from your perspective!”
Fia looked into his burning eyes, then smirked and said coldly, “Yes. I can feel that you’re changing.”
With that, she shoved his hand away from her waist, turned around, and walked away.
Conrad stood rooted in the spot, feeling uncomfortable with their inexplicable misunderstanding. He hadn’t thought
how Britney resembled Esme and didn’t intend to hide anything from Fia.
Although Fia didn’t explain things clearly, even outsiders could tell that she was angry.
“Madam, where are you going?” Silas asked when Fia bumped into him in the hallway.
Fia wasn’t in the mood to talk and simply left with a cold look on her face.
Silas was dumbfounded for a few seconds before he hurriedly rushed into the office.
“Sir, Madam looked upset when she left! Aren’t you going to go after her?”
Conrad sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. “No.”
“But…”
“Have Tiger follow her. We have a lunch appointment with Conall Parker at noon. She’ll be there.”
Silas was surprised at his words. “Is Madam… going to reconcile with them?”
Conrad wasn’t in the mood to explain and said coldly, “Book the restaurant across the street from here.”
“Uh… Understood.”
Conrad returned to his desk and waved at Silas, who was standing there still looking puzzled, and he couldn’t help
but roar, “Bring me the documents!”
“Y-yes, sir!” Silas almost tripped over his own legs in his rush to get to the table. He placed the documents neatly on
it as his heart pounded wildly in his chest.
After leaving the office, he quickly called Tiger to relay the instructions.
On the other end, Tiger watched Fia exit the company and quietly followed behind her. He whispered, “I’m already
following her.”
Silas paused for a moment at Tiger’s efficiency and said doubtfully, “You’re not harboring any ulterior motives
toward Madam, are you?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTiger was indignant. He didn’t dare to be too loud and hissed through clenched teeth, “Though I have the guts to go
against you, I don’t have the guts to go against Sir!”
Silas chuckled. The scare he had gotten from Conrad had now left him from this conversation, and he felt much
better.
“Alright. Keep a close eye on Madam. I’ll handle things here for Sir.”
“I got it already. Gah, what a nag!” Tiger growled, then hung up the phone and cautiously continued following Fia.
Fia walked along the road for a while and arrived at a platform, staring blankly at the passing vehicles. Tiger
watched anxiously, fearing that she might suddenly jump into the busy traffic.
Suddenly, Fia turned and looked at Tiger, smiling like a carefree child.
“I wouldn’t die like that. It would be so ugly to be run over by a car.”
Tiger swallowed nervously and strode forward. “Madam, it might be best to talk to Sir and not let anger get the best
of you.”
Similar to Silas, he always remembered that Fia’s emotions could easily spiral out of control, and he hoped he was
able to comfort and assure her.
Fia lowered her head and smiled, hiding her emotions. She got onto the platform, sat down, and pulled out her
phone. She scrolled through her contacts and said, “I want to call Eileen and ask her how things are over there.”
