“Did you think I wouldn’t know that you instructed Ss and Tiger to investigate Britney behind my
back? You even find ways to avoid me when answering your phone!”
Conrad reached out his hand again, attempting to embrace her, but she evaded him.
He hesitated for a moment, then forcefully grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.
“Let go
of me!” eximed. She was extremely shaken and started to pound his chest frantically.
“Fia! Fia, calm down!” Conrad couldn’t help but shout.
Fia stiffened, then she lowered her gaze, no longer struggling.
Conrad gritted his teeth and said, “I didn’t hide it from you, avoid you, or do anything behind your back!
I was worried about your mental state if you knew. I did it for your own good!”
“For my own good? Do you know what’s good for me?” Fia asked, looking up. “Do you?”
Conrad furrowed his brows. “I didn’t know before, but I’m trying to change now. I’m making an effort to
see things from your perspective!”
Fia looked into his burning eyes, then smirked and said coldly, “Yes. I can feel that you’re changing.”
With that, she shoved his hand away from her waist, turned around, and walked away.
Conrad stood rooted in the spot, feeling ufortable with their inexplicable misunderstanding. He
hadn’t thought how Britney resembled Esme and didn’t intend to hide anything from Fia.
Although Fia didn’t exin things clearly, even outsiders could tell that she was angry.
“Madam, where are you going?” Ss asked when Fia bumped into him in the hallway.
Fia wasn’t in the mood to talk and simply left with a cold look on her face.
Ss was dumbfounded for a few seconds before he hurriedly rushed into the office.
“Sir, Madam looked upset when she left! Aren’t you going to go after her?”
Conrad sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. “No.”
“But…”
“Have Tiger follow her. We have a lunch appointment with Conall Parker at noon. She’ll be there.”
Ss was surprised at his words. “Is Madam… going to reconcile with them?”
Conrad wasn’t in the mood to exin and said coldly, “Book the restaurant across the street from
here.”
“Uh… Understood.”
Conrad returned to his desk and waved at Ss, who was standing there still looking puzzled, and he
couldn’t help but roar, “Bring me the documents!”
“Y-yes, sir!” Ss almost tripped over his own legs in his rush to get to the table. He ced the
documents neatly on it as his heart pounded wildly in his chest.
After leaving the office, he quickly called Tiger to ry the instructions.
On the other end, Tiger watched Fia exit thepany and quietly followed behind her. He whispered,
“I’m already following her.”
Ss paused for a moment at Tiger’s efficiency and said doubtfully, “You’re not harboring any ulterior
motives toward Madam, are you?”

Tiger was indignant. He didn’t dare to be too loud and hissed through clenched teeth, “Though I have
the guts to go against you, I don’t have the guts to go against Sir!”
Ss chuckled. The scare he had gotten from Conrad had now left him from this conversation, and he
felt much better.
“Alright. Keep a close eye on Madam. I’ll handle things here for Sir.”
“I got it already. Gah, what a nag!” Tiger growled, then hung up the phone and cautiously continued
following Fia.
Fia walked along the road for a while and arrived at a tform, staring nkly at the passing vehicles.
Tiger watched anxiously, fearing that she might suddenly jump into the busy traffic.
Suddenly, Fia turned and looked at Tiger, smiling like a carefree child.
“I wouldn’t die like that. It would be so ugly to be run over by a car.”
Tiger swallowed nervously and strode forward. “Madam, it might be best to talk to Sir and not let anger
get the best of you.”
Simr to Ss, he always remembered that Fia’s emotions could easily spiral out of control, and he
hoped he was able tofort and assure her.
Fia lowered her head and smiled, hiding her emotions. She got onto the tform, sat down, and pulled
out her phone. She scrolled through her contacts and said, “I want to call Eileen and ask her how
things are over there.”
