    “Ss,” Conrad said sarcastically after being silent for a moment.


    “Yes? Ss replied, looking up in confusion.


    “Check if Fia has been in contact with himtely.”


    Ss seemed to piece together the pieces as he thought back to the pictures he had printed.


    “Do you mean that this designer is Madam…?”


    Fia sat rigidly on the couch in Conrad’s office. She was tense as she was afraid that someone would


    walk into Conrad’s office at any time.

    About half an hourter, the door opened, and she turned her head in that direction.


    Conrad walked in and met her dull eyes with a somewhat cold expression.


    He hadn’t needed Ss to look into it. He was sure it must have been Fia’s work just by looking at the


    picture.


    No matter how unpleasant things had be between them before because of Esme, they were still


    husband and wife, weren’t they? Why didn’t she tell him before she helped Jason?


    “Is that you, Conrad?” Fia asked, straining her ears. She felt uneasy as she had only heard the door


    open and no footsteps.


    Conrad clenched his fist and shoved down the irritation in his heart. He walked toward her and said,


    “The meeting just adjourned. Have you been waiting long?”


    “No. It’s fine.”


    This was the first time Fia was in his office. She was eager to see the decor of his office and the ce


    where he worked. Unfortunately, she couldn’t see anything in her condition.


    Conrad noted the disappointment on her face, and his displeasure was instantly mostly reced by


    pity. He sat beside her and took her small hands that were clenched tightly into his.


    He patiently uncurled each finger and patted her palm..


    “There’s no need to be so nervous. Even if I’m not here, no one apart from Ss is allowed to enter the


    office.”


    “Oh…” Fia nodded, then asked, “So… even if they had something urgent to speak with you, they still


    can’t


    “They would have to go to Ss first beforeing to see me.”


    “Oh…”


    Fia was suddenly less nervous, and she smiled sweetly. “So if I stay in your office all day, no one would


    see me?”


    “Well, except for Ss.”


    “I’m fine with Ss. I know him well enough,” she replied easily, excitement now bleeding slightly into


    her voice. “You should get to work, then.”


    Fia pulled her hands away, then fumbled for her earbuds on the coffee table and lifted them up for him


    to


    see.


    “You work, and I’ll listen to my sses. I’ll try to get my diploma as soon as possible.”


    When Conrad heard her words, he couldn’t help but think about the in-style designs she had given.


    Jason without his knowledge, which helped stabilize Argonauts Corp’s position in the industry.


    He couldn’t help but ask, “Which style of designing do you prefer?”


    “Why the sudden question?” Fia asked back, puzzled.


    “Is it hard to answer?”


    “Well, not really,” Fia said naively. She turned serious and said, “I actually prefer in styles and those


    that incorporate our local customs. But these two elements aren’t really popr, so I’m fine with other


    styles.


    too!”


    “You have a talent for extravagant styles and others too,” Conrad reminded her. “The two designs you


    gave me earlier broke Maxwell Corporation’s all-time high sales.”


    Fia flushed at the praise. “Ah… is that so? Then… I’m pretty good, I guess?”


    “Hmm…” Conrad hummed as he caressed her smooth face. “Could you specialize in those styles for


    me?”


    Fia frowned. “A designer has a soul, you know? You’re depriving me of it by asking me to give up.


    something I love! Why did you have thepany reject in-style designs when there’s a huge market


    for it?”


    The light in Conrad’s eyes vanished instantly, and his gentle expression turned hard and cold as he


    tried to understand what was in Fia’s heart.
