Chapter 818
Esme was stunned upon hearing that. Maxwell Corporation is a place to do work and business, not for playing
music. What did he mean by that?
Was he really that fond of her piano skills? Or was he mocking her? She really could not tell. He and Britney Thomas
were not enemies. He never liked to socialize with people but also never liked to cause trouble to others.
“Mr. Maxwell, I don’t quite understand what you meant,” she said cautiously.
Conrad took a glance at the manager and gave him an order, “From henceforth, our stores will not let Britney
Thomas through the door and do business with her.”
“Understood, sir.” The manager obliged immediately.
Esme was glad to hear it. Did this mean that Conrad was frustrated when he saw her being indecisive to play piano
at his company earlier? So his frustration burst into anger, which led to him banning her from shopping in his
stores!
Without giving it much thought, Esme said, “If you want me to play in your company, of course I will do it.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtConrad nodded coldly. “Good. Then come at noon during the break and play for an hour. If you have other plans
that clash with it, you can tell Tiger about it and he’ll rearrange it for you.”
After finishing his words, Conrad turned and left.
Esme could not help but fantasize about being with him again.
It was not easy to see through Conrad’s thoughts.
But she had a few guesses… Perhaps it was due to Fia being pregnant that she could not satisfy his carnal desires…
Or perhaps he had bedded Fia so much that he got tired of her…!
And Conrad was not really here for Fia. He visited this store to meet her! If not, why would he bring this piano over?
Yes! That had to be it! That night when she got injured for him, Conrad had begun to develop feelings for her. And
he was not someone who would show his emotions easily, which made him act so slowly.
Indeed… This had to be it…! Things were finally looking up for her!
Seeing Conrad off, Esme thought about the baby in her womb. She must avoid getting married to Peter by all
means! She had to find a way to abort this baby. Not only that, she also needed to do it and make Peter feel bad for
her!
“Alright, Mr. Hall. You can go to your girlfriend now.” Silas smiled as he ordered the
bodyguards to stand down.
Peter hurried downstairs and grabbed Esme’s hand, bringing her away.
Esme whispered, “Don’t be like this. What if others see us?”
“Oh, now you’re afraid of others seeing?” Peter glared at her with his eyes full of rage
Esme saw the escalator nearby and had an idea. She forcefully pulled her hand away from his and said, “Peter,
stop! You’re hurting me!”

This angered Peter even more. So he grabbed her hand again.
“Don’t play games with me!” Peter said to her coldly, “What were you doing with Conrad Maxwell just now?”
“You got it all wrong. We didn’t do anything. There were other people in the store too.”
“He purposely distracted Fia so you two could meet alone in there. It’s impossible for you to have done nothing!”
Peter was so pissed and frustrated that he forcefully pulled on Esme’s hand as they walked.
Pretending to feel hurt, Esme begged, “Can you please stop acting like this? You’re scaring me!” Then she pulled
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher hand out of Peter’s grasp again.
A gleam of hate flickered in Peter’s eyes as he stepped toward her, preparing to pull her back to him again. This
woman…! He was going to punish her dearly later on!
However, Esme slipped and fell backward to the escalator behind.
“Aaahh!” Esme shrieked in horror, trying to grab Peter’s hand.
Overwrought by panic, Peter rushed forward to grab her hand. Yet he was not able to grab her in time and could
only helplessly watch her tumbling down the escalator. Half a second later, he regained his thoughts and pressed
the escalator’s emergency stop button, halting the escalator.
However, Esme had already fallen all the way to the floor below.
Her head was injured and bleeding from the fall. The fall was intended though. Esme had used all her energy she
could muster to keep her body tumbling all the way down the escalator. She needed to do this so Peter would feel
sorry for her!
“Holy moly! That girl had quite a fall!”
“Hey, I think that man over there pushed her down.”
“No, it can’t be. Look at his face. He seems genuinely worried for her.”
