    Chapter 405


    Conrad didn’t give Annie another look and simply drove away.


    When Annie looked at the man who disappeared into his car, she felt her heart bing


    somewhat empty.


    She forgot to ask him for his name and wondered if she could still see him.


    It was fine though. She knew that he worked in Maxwell Corporation. She could always go there to see


    him!


    In less than half an hour, Ss brought over takeaways from a five-star restaurant.


    “Enjoy, Madam, Ms. Reid.” Ss stood aside.


    Fia looked at Ss’s direction, but she still got it wrong.


    “Aren’t you going to eat, Ss?”


    Ss looked at her nk eyes and stared at the location about a meter away, and felt somewhat bad.


    She was the wife of a CEO, but she was never treated as one during her few years of marriage. And


    now, she was even blind.


    “I’ve eaten.”


    Seeing that he wasn’t in a rush to leave, she asked, “You have other business being here?”


    “Once the boss is back, I need him to sign a contract.”


    “Alright, wait in the living room then.”


    “Of course.”


    Eileen nced at Ss and then filled up Fia’s te with food before putting the spoon in her hand.


    When she saw that Fia was able to eat properly, she whispered, “That Ss Whitley seems to respect


    you. If there’s anything you can’t ask Conrad for help, you can ask him.”


    Fia shook her head. “No, he’s Conrad’s subordinate.”


    “I think he can be trusted.”


    Fia said nothing and simply smiled.


    Whether it was Mrs. Taylor or Ss, she knew that they treated her well because of Conrad.


    She needed to maintain a distance. She couldn’t depend on them too much.


    “I’m just worried about you, Fia. Once Conrad’s back, I’ll have to go already.”


    “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine,” Fia said as she held the spoon in her hand tightly. “It seems like he really


    wants to have a life with me. Now that Esme’s gone, everything will be fine.”


    But to be honest, even without Esme, there might be some other womening for him. Conrad was


    just too big of a bait.


    After half an hour, Conrad came back.


    “Sir.” Ss stood up and greeted him immediately.


    Eileen, who was sitting next to Fia, heard it too. “Is Mrs. Taylor back?”


    Conrad and Ss exchanged a look. “Mrs. Taylor had something that she needed to take care of at


    home, so I gave her a long holiday.”


    Fia frowned. She knew something had happened but she didn’t ask.


    Eileen looked at how gloomy Conrad was. After sending Fia up to rest, she quickly walked down.


    “If you don’t mind, I can ask my mother to take care of the madam.”


    Conrad raised an eyebrow and asked, “Wouldn’t that stop your mother from taking care of her


    grandson?”


    “Now that my brother is earning some money, my sister-inw is no longer working and is taking care


    of the household. My mother is quite free.”


    “Fine. Do it then.”


    “Of course.”


    After Ss left, Eileen then went over and asked, “What happened to Mrs. Taylor?”


    Anger appeared on Conrad’s face. “She fell from the stairs and hurt her leg. She needs to rest for a few


    months.”


    “Your mom pushed her?”


    Eileen angrily said, “Is your mom crazy?! Why can’t she just enjoy life for once and stop stirring up


    trouble?! You called the cops?”

    “Mrs. Taylor stopped me.”


    Conrad felt even more guilt toward her. He knew that Mrs. Taylor didn’t let him call the cops because of


    him.


    “Conrad, I’m an outsider so I shouldn’t be saying this! But your mother… If you don’t fix her up, she’s


    going to be a big problem for you in the future!”
