    After lunch,  squinted and scanned her surroundings. Everything was still blurry; she couldn’t see


    anyone clearly.


    Still, she knew Conrad would not just leave her here. Sure enough, when he saw her appear to be


    looking for aid, Tiger rushed to her. “Madam, do you want to head back to the office now? I’ll drive you


    there.”


    Fia took out a credit card from her purse. “Here. Take care of the bill.”


    “It’s alright, Madam. Mr. Maxwell had ordered me to put it on his tab. Consider this his treat.”


    “I see. Alright, let’s head back to work.”


    As Fia and Tiger finished talking, two girls quickly rushed forward to take her hands.


    “Mrs. Maxwell, we’ll escort you to Mr. Maxwell.”


    Meanwhile, the other girls who were too slow to hold her hands. began to fight over the right to help


    hold her handbag instead.


    Fia smiled. “Thank you kindly, but I’m not ready to go yet. Don’t worry about me. You may return to your


    work without us.”


    The girls were stunned as they threw a look at Annie.


    Noticing this, Fia said frankly, “I’d like to have a little chat with Miss Parker.”


    “Okay… We’ll head back to work then.”


    Annie sat in her seat with a wide, fake grin as she looked at her colleagues bidding their goodbyes.


    She was very crossed with everything that had happened. It was she who was treating her colleagues.


    Yet now, after what Fia had done, she looked like a clown in the eyes of her colleagues. She would be

    “Tiger, would you kindly excuse us. I don’t want you to eavesdrop on our little girltalk.”


    “Sure.” Tiger quickly retreated to a ce far enough so that he could not hear anything they said.


    However, his eyes were still glued on Fia, making sure that she was safe.


    “What do you want to talk about?” Annie looked straight at Fia, trying her best to not break the fake


    smile on her face.


    This lunch was nothing short of a battlefield to her!


    “Let’s talk about the courier delivery.” Fia went straight to the point. “Did you see what’s inside the


    box?”


    “What if I did?” Annie sneered at her before faking a concerned voice. “Did Mr. Maxwell scold you


    because of the content?”


    Fia sighed as she held a hand on her face, the elbow on the table.”


    “Do you hope for him to scold me, or not?”


    “What do you mean, Mrs. Maxwell? I’m just concerned for you. You’re my uncle’s daughter, so we


    basically have the same blood. It’s only normal for me to be concerned for my cousin.”


    “I see. Why, thank you very much.” Fia’s face turned cold. “My guess is that you saw the gifts I intended


    for my husband, yes? That’s why even though you stole them, you decided to hand


    them over. Am I correct?”


    A glint of anger shed in Annie’s eyes as she raised her voice.” Are you trying to use me of


    something?”


    “use?” A smile curved up on Fia’s lips. “If you think this is


    what I’m doing, then so be it. I don’t like ying games.”


    ”


    “I do hope Miss Parker knows where to draw the line, if she knows what’s best for herself.”


    Annie could not pretend anymore as she retaliated sternly. “So, you’re afraid of me stealing him away


    from you?”


    Fia calmly tilted her head as she replied slowly, “Would you like to hear a story? A few months ago, his


    first, true love returned from overseas. He immediately asked for a divorce, which I agreed to. And yet,


    in the end, he sent her to prison with his own hands.”


    “Wow, what’s this? A mystery story? So, why would he send her to prison?”
