    Chapter 498


    Why was she still standing there unbothered? How could Conrad still bring her to work as if nothing


    had happened?


    Why? How?!


    Meanwhile, Fia asked softly, “Miss Parker, would it be alright for me to join you all for lunch?”


    “Of course! We wee Mrs. Maxwell with open arms!” The other girls agreed before Annie was able


    to react at all.


    Annie began cursing Fia deep in her heart despite the great amount of etiquette lessons she took in her


    youth.


    “Miss Parker, I hope it’s alright with you,” Fia asked Annie again


    with a soft voice.


    “Of course! Wee!” Annie forced up a smile.


    Fia responded with a bright smile before facing Conrad and poking at his waist, “Conrad, they agreed


    to allow me to join them for lunch. Would you kindly give me permission?”


    “No!” Conrad red at Annie and her colleagues. There was no way he could rx leaving Fia in their


    hands.


    “Conrad!” Fia hugged Conrad’s arm, flirting with her husband in front of the girls.


    “Please? I did not have enough to eat at home earlier. I want to join them.”


    Conrad knew what she had in mind. Having lunch with the girls was just an excuse. The more likely


    reason was that Fia wanted


    to talk to Annie face–to–face.


    “Conrad, please let me go with them. It’s such a rare asion.


    Please?”


    Fia’s sweet, flirty voice and her exquisite beauty was a superbbo onto Conrad’s psyche, as though


    they were gradually mellowing the core of his bones.


    “Fine. But I’lle with you.”


    “No, you can’t join us. If you join us, the girls will be so scared


    that they won’t have lunch properly. Besides, you’re the boss of al mega corporation. Sitting together


    with all these beautiful girls… what would others think of you?” Fia put on an angry face.


    Conrad sighed and decided to concede. “I’ll escort you to the


    restaurant.”


    “Okay!”


    Conrad sent Fia to a restaurant near hispany, and ordered Tiger to keep an eye on her.


    “Mrs. Maxwell, what would you like to drink?”


    “Do you want tea? Or some milk tea?”


    “Perhaps, a cup of coffee?”


    “Would you like some sugar in the coffee?”


    After they settled in their seats, the girls began to pester Fia with caring questions.


    Although she was anxious, Fia did her best to maintain a calm and collected look. “Just in water will


    do. Thank you.”


    This was the first time she got to act in such a high–profile role since the first day of her marriage with


    Conrad.


    It had been minutes since they sat down, but there was no word


    from Annie.

    Right at this moment, Annie was still forcing a smile while trying to suppress her bad mood.


    “Let’s order our meal, shall we?” She opened the menu and asked a colleague who was pouring a


    ss of water for Fia.


    The colleague took the menu and brought it over to Fia.


    Annie sneered at Fia. She wanted to see what this blind b*tch would do.


    Fia did not face the girl with the menu. Instead, she beamed up a soft and gentle smile. “I’m sorry. I


    can’t see anything. So, it’s best that you all order whatever you like.”


    The girl was stunned for a few seconds before nervously trying to exin herself, “Mrs. Maxwell, I’m


    sorry. I didn’t mean to…”


    She then red furiously at Annie, who smiled as she received the menu from her. There was not a


    hint of ill–intent on her face.


    “Perhaps I’ll do the ordering. It’s me treating after all. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely make sure the order


    satisfies everyone here.”
