    Chapter 1021


    “What is Eileen’s first job after returning?”


    Conrad replied, “A reality dating show.”


    Fia was surprised to hear that. “Dating… show?”


    “Yes.”


    “But aren’t celebrities forbidden from getting romantically involved with anyone?”


    “It’s a reality show. A. Show. It’s not real.” Seeing that Fia was still worried, Conrad began exining to


    her patiently. “The character she’ll be ying is an aloof, ice-queen type ofdy. So, she’ll need to


    reject every male participant of the show anyway.”


    Fia knew about these shows. She had watched her fair share of TV shows.


    “But… isn’t this still risky? What if people use her of having unrealistic expectations of men? Her


    good name is on the line, you know?”


    “There are many strong, independent women today. They aren’t interested in dating and marriage. So,


    if Eileen can establish herself to be one, she’ll be getting a lot of traction from such women. They’ll be


    her longsting fans.”


    Then, Conrad continued with his analysis. “Besides, Eileen has the looks to pull this off.”


    Fia suddenly asked, “So… she must never be romantically involved with anyone, ever?”


    Conrad frowned and said, “Yes.”


    “Have you discussed this with Eileen?”


    “We had a discussion with her manager. She agrees with the n.”


    “Oh, no. This still doesn’t feel right. I’ll give Eileen a call and ask her!”


    Fia quickly walked to the backyard to give her friend a call, leaving Conrad behind. 11


    Staring at her walking away, Conrad could not help but feel abandoned by his sweet wife.


    “Eileen, I heard about the reality dating show from Conrad. If you go with the n, you’re not allowed to


    be romantically involved with anyone! You might not be able to find a person you love for ever!”


    Hearing her friend’s concerned voice, Eileen stifled augh and said, “So? Clinging onto a man would


    only stop me from climbing higher in my career. I only want money and career now. I don’t need love!”


    “But…”


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Fia wanted to mention Victor. However, after giving it some thought, she decided not to.


    “But what? Fia, if you’ve got anything to say, you can tell me. We’re best pals! I won’t get mad at you.”


    Clearing her throat,  said, “No… I mean… What if you found someone in the future? You’re not


    going to just let him go, are you?”


    “Well, I might. At the very least, I won’t allow myself to get into a rtionship in the next few years.


    Besides, I have really high standards, you know? Not just any man can pique my interest. Oh, dear…


    Now that I think about it… I might actually be alone all my life. Fia, dear, I might need to be your


    children’s godmother so they’ll take care of me when I’m old. Haha! They could handle my funeral too!”


    “Oh, don’t say that! You’re still young! You still have a lot to look forward to!”


    “Yeah, yeah! I’ll live really long. Or else, how would I be able to attend your children’s wedding,


    hmmm?”


    Then, the two besties had a long, joyful chat. When Fia came back to the living room, she did not see


    Conrad anywhere. When she went upstairs to find him, she heard him talking on the phone.


    “Treat this matter with utmost care. Do your best not to hurt her.”


    Fia stopped in her tracks as she thought to herself, ‘Her? Who’s “her”? Esme Manning? So… He’s still


    unwilling to hurt her, huh?”


    “Yes, I understand. Just do all you can to avoid getting her hurt!”


    Fia’s heart sank when she heard this. Just who was it on the phone? Why did Conrad keep asking that


    person to not hurt “her”?


    Ending his call, Conrad walked out of his study and saw Fia standing in the hallway.


    “Fia, are you done talking to Eileen?”


    “Yes, I am.” Fia quickly regained herposure and walked to him with a smile. She held his hand and


    asked nonchntly, “Why aren’t you waiting for me in the living room?”


    “I had to handle some work.”


    “Oh, I see. If you’re busy, you can go to thepany and take care of it. Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. I won’t


    go anywhere. Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Whitley will take care of me.”


    Conrad took a good look at her. Seeing that she looked calm and collected, he concluded that she did


    not misunderstand anything.


    He put his hand around her waist and asked, “But won’t you miss me if I’m not at home?”
