    Chapter 818


    Esme was stunned upon hearing that. Maxwell Corporation is a ce to do work and business, not for


    ying music. What did he mean by that?


    Was he really that fond of her piano skills? Or was he mocking her? She really could not tell. He and


    Britney Thomas were not enemies. He never liked to socialize with people but also never liked to cause


    trouble to others.


    “Mr. Maxwell, I don’t quite understand what you meant,” she said cautiously.


    Conrad took a nce at the manager and gave him an order, “From henceforth, our stores will not let


    Britney Thomas through the door and do business with her.”


    “Understood, sir.” The manager obliged immediately.


    Esme was d to hear it. Did this mean that Conrad was frustrated when he saw her being indecisive


    to y piano at hispany earlier? So his frustration burst into anger, which led to him banning her


    from shopping in his stores!


    Without giving it much thought, Esme said, “If you want me to y in yourpany, of course I will do


    it.”


    Conrad nodded coldly. “Good. Thene at noon during the break and y for an hour. If you have


    other ns that sh with it, you can tell Tiger about it and he’ll rearrange it for you.”


    After finishing his words, Conrad turned and left.


    Esme could not help but fantasize about being with him again.


    It was not easy to see through Conrad’s thoughts.


    But she had a few guesses… Perhaps it was due to Fia being pregnant that she could not satisfy his


    carnal desires… Or perhaps he had bedded Fia so much that he got tired of her…!


    And Conrad was not really here for Fia. He visited this store to meet her! If not, why would he bring this


    piano over? Yes! That had to be it! That night when she got injured for him, Conrad had begun to


    develop feelings for her. And he was not someone who would show his emotions easily, which made


    him act so slowly.


    Indeed… This had to be it…! Things were finally looking up for her!


    Seeing Conrad off, Esme thought about the baby in her womb. She must avoid getting married to Peter


    by all means! She had to find a way to abort this baby. Not only that, she also needed to do it and make


    Peter feel bad for her!


    “Alright, Mr. Hall. You can go to your girlfriend now.” Ss smiled as he ordered the


    bodyguards to stand down.


    Peter hurried downstairs and grabbed Esme’s hand, bringing her away.


    Esme whispered, “Don’t be like this. What if others see us?”


    “Oh, now you’re afraid of others seeing?” Peter red at her with his eyes full of rage


    Esme saw the esctor nearby and had an idea. She forcefully pulled her hand away from his and


    said, “Peter, stop! You’re hurting me!”

    This angered Peter even more. So he grabbed her hand again.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    “Don’t y games with me!” Peter said to her coldly, “What were you doing with Conrad Maxwell just


    now?”


    “You got it all wrong. We didn’t do anything. There were other people in the store too.”


    “He purposely distracted Fia so you two could meet alone in there. It’s impossible for you to have done


    nothing!” Peter was so pissed and frustrated that he forcefully pulled on Esme’s hand as they walked.


    Pretending to feel hurt, Esme begged, “Can you please stop acting like this? You’re scaring me!” Then


    she pulled her hand out of Peter’s grasp again.


    A gleam of hate flickered in Peter’s eyes as he stepped toward her, preparing to pull her back to him


    again. This woman…! He was going to punish her dearlyter on!


    However, Esme slipped and fell backward to the esctor behind.


    “Aaahh!” Esme shrieked in horror, trying to grab Peter’s hand.


    Overwrought by panic, Peter rushed forward to grab her hand. Yet he was not able to grab her in time


    and could only helplessly watch her tumbling down the esctor. Half a secondter, he regained his


    thoughts and pressed the esctor’s emergency stop button, halting the esctor.


    However, Esme had already fallen all the way to the floor below.


    Her head was injured and bleeding from the fall. The fall was intended though. Esme had used all her


    energy she could muster to keep her body tumbling all the way down the esctor. She needed to do


    this so Peter would feel sorry for her!


    “Holy moly! That girl had quite a fall!”


    “Hey, I think that man over there pushed her down.”


    “No, it can’t be. Look at his face. He seems genuinely worried for her.”
