?Chapter 595
"Fia."
"Yeah?"
"In thepany, don''t leave my office."
"Have I not always stayed in your office?"
Conrad was worried that he did not make himself clear and said, "Don''t go to the Foreign Affairs Department. If there is any need to be in touch with them, let Ss handle it."
Fia frowned. "Alright, I got it."
The three women in the Foreign Affairs Department-who else would she think of but Barbara and Britney, the two sisters, and Annie.
The three of them were gathered together and things were bound to be "interesting". She had no desire to go to the Foreign Affairs Department to provoke them.
However, sometimes just because you didn''t seek out the other party, it didn''t mean that troublesome people would note running to you on their own.
On the highest floor, the moment Conrad held Fia and walked out the elevator, they saw Barbara.
"Mr. Maxwell, Mrs. Maxwell." Barbara''s tone was cold and carried a high pitch, with the intent of ming them for some wrong.
Conrad turned to Fia and said, "Go to the office first and wait for me there."
"Alright, sure."
Fia had just taken a step forward when Barbara called out to hold her back
"Mrs. Maxwell, you don''t need to avoid me. The matter I wish to talk to Mr. Maxwell about is rted to you."
"Madam Barbara, please mind your words!" Conrad red at Barbara coldly.
Barbara lowered her head and smiled, and yed with herrge curled hair that flowed on her shoulder.
"What I want to talk about is very simple. I, Barbara, have always done things justly. Perhaps to have gotten my sister to join thepany as my assistant was wrong, but I have the right to pick my own assistant!"
She looked at Fia sharply. "I don''t know what it is that you find unpleasant about Britney that you would treat her like this."
"How did I treat her?" Fia found it funny.
She had always kept in mind that Barbara had contributed to the Maxwell Corporation and did not wish to offend her.
But even when said person hade knocking directly to use her, she was not a softie.
"Did I scold her or did I beat her? If I did, are there any witnesses?"
Barbara frowned. "Before your eyes recovered, you clearly had a decent rtionship with her. Once your eyes recovered, you weren''t bothered with her when she went to see you, causing her to be unable to eat or sleeptely."
Fia was instantly quite speechless.
Did thew even decide how two people should interact and that they should treat each other nicely from start to end?
Britney could not eat or sleep because of her? No matter how it sounded, it sounded unbelievable.
She was not Britney''s Prince Charming, so how could she have such an ability!
"Madam Barbara, you are truly a character." She shook her head slightly, speaking a little sympathetically. "Toe over to me and say such words would make people suspect that I have cheated your sister of her feelings."
Barbara was speechless.
Did she mean that?
"Madam Barbara, I have a husband and have no interest in being a lesbian. There is even less need for me to take care of your sister''s nonsensical feelings. Your words are quite ridiculous." Fia hooked her hand onto Conrad''s arm. "Conrad, let''s return to the office."
"Alright."
Barbara bit the bottom of her lip. "What exactly did my sister do wrong? Tell me clearly!" Fia paused for a moment and turned her head to look back at Barbara,
"I don''t have much of a rtionship with her. How she views me, or how I view her is not important."N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
"But Britney likes you quite a bit and wants to be your friend. Your attitude toward her is so cold suddenly and it hurts her a lot."
Barbara did not seem to be so strong anymore. She was an older sister who doted on her younger sister.
"Mrs. Maxwell, since young, Britney has been timid and she left the country young. She doesn''t have many friends."
Fia looked at Barbara with aplicated gaze. "But even so, you cannot demand me to befriend her."
