“Mrs. Maxwell…” Kent said to her solemnly, “If he’s keeping it from you, I think he’s doing it your own good. It’s very
likely that he doesn’t want you to worry about these matters.”

Kent’s words were so reasonable that Fia was not able to refute them at all.
“Alright, I’ll give you a call when I find them.”
“Okay. Thank you again for your help.”
After hanging up, Kent sent a message to Sally.
A few minutes passed and no reply from her. Kent figured that Sally was busy with her learning so she did not have
time for her phone. So he directed his attention back to his computer and kept on working on his tasks.
At noon, Conrad returned from the company.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFia and Sophia were watching something on the television and chatted about the plot of the drama they were
watching. When they saw him come home, Fia asked, “Oh, back so soon?”
Conrad sighed and said, “I’m home to have lunch with you.”
Fia said, “You can resume with your work and not worry about me. I will have lunch properly.” Seeing that Fia did
not mention “it”, Conrad said, “I’ve booked an appointment with Mr. White. We’ll meet with him in an hour.”

Fia frowned and said, “Okay. Understood.”
“Sophia, you go check and see if lunch is ready,” Conrad ordered.
When Sophia went to the kitchen, Conrad sat next to Fia and embraced her, comforting her gently. “Fia, we need to
continue with the treatment. Only by doing that will you get better.”
“Okay.”
Fia did not like going through with Marcus’ therapy. His questions were so invasive, as though he was trying to dig
out all of her secrets. Even though they had signed the confidentiality agreement, Fia still felt reluctant to see
Marcus.
“We’ll go there after we have lunch, okay?” Conrad asked gently.
Fia raised her head and gazed at his charming, amber eyes. His eyes were so warm and gentle today.
So she nodded. “Okay. I’ll do as you say.’
Letting out a sigh of relief, Conrad patted her head. “What do you want to do later in the evening? I’ll accompany
you.”
A jolt flashed in Fia’s heart as she hugged his arm. “Let’s go find Britney, shall we?”
Conrad frowned and asked, “Find her? How?”
“She was supposed to stay in the hospital for a few more days. But she was released from the hospital so early.
Don’t you think it’s odd?”
“It isn’t odd at all. Peter could have found a doctor to take care of her at home,” Conrad said calmly.
“So she’s currently staying with the Halls?” Fia asked curiously.
Conrad shook his head. “I don’t know.”
Recalling something, Fia asked again, “What did you and her talk about in that jewelry store that day?”
Conrad hesitated for a moment before saying, “I invited her to play piano at Maxwell Corporation so we could keep

Biting her lips, Fia asked again, “How do you feel after listening to her playing the piano?” “What do you mean?”
Conrad was being extremely careful right now, careful not to say anything to trigger Fia.
“Did she play like Esme?”
“No. They don’t share the same expertise and skills,” Conrad answered sincerely.
Fia looked at him. “You’re right. If she had only just begun learning the piano, she would not be able to play so well.
It’s also quite possible that she was downplaying her skills so we would not link her to Esme.”
Conrad lightly rubbed on Fia’s soft, silky hand and said, “You’re quite right with your analysis.”
“Sir… Madam… Time for lunch.”
Sophia approached them to tell them that lunch was ready. She did not dare to say Fia’s name
in front of Conrad so she addressed her as “Madam” in a timid tone.
“Okay. Let’s have lunch, Fia.” Conrad held Fia’s hand to help her up from the sofa.
Seeing this, Sophia excused herself, “I’ll be going then.”
Fia stopped her and said, “No, stay and have lunch with us.”
“Erm… no, it’s okay. I’ve got a date.”
Sophia quickly fled from the scene. She would not dare to take a bite in front of her boss.
