id Fia simply like in-style designs, or was it because Jason was a factor in it?
veryone knew that Argonauts Corp’s line, Gentle Stream, was a reflection of their chairman, Garett’s
love ir his beloved rice!
nd as Jason was Argonauts Corp’s sessor, must be aware that Garett’s love for rice was a
eat irony and hurt to Conrad!
et, she still helped Jason?!
What’s wrong?” Fia asked, sensing that there was something off about Conrad, and reached out to
touch
s arm.
onrad swatted her hand away instinctively, and the atmosphere between them froze momentarily.
ke a bucket of cold water had been thrown on her, Fia bit her lip and panicked.
-are you angry because I don’t want to specialize in extravagant and alternative designs?”
onrad looked at her but said nothing.
a grasped her earbud tighter. “When my eyes get better, I’ll still draw those kinds of designs. You can
ways talk to me and give me suggestions if there are any in mind.”
ter a pause, she sincerely said, “But if you ask me to follow Maxwell Corporation’s style andpletely
ve up my own, I can’t do that. I’m not a money-making machine. This is my lifelong love of my ofession.
I want to study all the areas that I can…”
a trailed off, then looked up at him. “Can you understand that?”
le couldn’t see his expression, but she could tell he was angry based on his harsh breathing.
onrad looked at the panic on her face and in a moment of weakness, leaned over to hug her.
I was out of line. I’m sorry.”
a froze in his arms. She could hear the mncholy and depression in his voice.

>nfused, she asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
onrad released her and held her shoulders before asking, “Are you hiding anything from me?”
ike what?” Fia replied with a frown. “How will I know if you don’t tell me what this is about?”
onrad looked into her dull eyes and suddenly realized that even though Fia had been the one to
produce entle Stream, that had happened before she lost her eyesight.
I that time, the gap between them was so wide, and it was understandable if she had sided with
utsiders.
‘rom now on, don’t hide anything from me, okay, Fia?”
a’s heart raced from the implication of his words. “Just what has happened? Why are you like this after
Our meeting?”
t’s not important. Focus on your studies. I’m going to work.”
onrad pressed a kiss to her forehead, then helped her put on her earbuds to listen to her lecture. After
lacing a cushion behind her and ensuring she wasfortable, he returned to his desk.
Fia had been so flustered and distracted by Conrad that she didn’t hear anything at the start. It took her
half an hour to calm down and study.
The day flew by like that, and when Conrad clocked off at four-thirty in the evening, he looked to see
Fia still on the couch, listening to her lecture.
He turned off hisputer, got up, then walked over to her and scooped her into his arms.
“Ahh!” Fia was startled by his sudden actions. When she realized what had happened, she pped him
on
the shoulder.
“What’s with this nonsense!”
Conrad took off her earbuds, effectively putting her lecture on hold.
“Let’s go home. You can continueter tonight.”
“What time is it?”
“It’s already four thirty.”
“Are you getting off work?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay. Let’s go home then,” Fia said with a smile and negotiated, “But you have to help me clean up
the papers on the desk.”
Conrad nced at the table. Despite her not being able to see, her handwriting was surprisingly still
quite
nice.
The writings on the papers were about the content of the lecture. It was simple but had all the key
points. It was easy to tell that she was a smart and effective student!
In the evening, Conrad received a call from Ss and walked into his study to receive it.
Fia leaned against the headboard in their bedroom alone, fumbling with her phone and turning on voice
activation before saying, “What’s the date today?”
“It is July sixteenth. The weather is sunny and a suitable day for traveling.”
Fia muttered, “Traveling, seriously? It’s already nighttime.”
