“Sure.” Tiger quickly dialled Conrad’s phone number.
Annie’s heart suddenly swelled with anxiety. “Are you really pregnant?”
Fia responded coldly, “It’s none of your business. This is a matter between me and my husband.”
“Why you… I mean, expecting a child is good news.” Annie took a deep breath before faking another smile. “I’ll let Dad and Uncle know. They could bring some supplements that are healthy for pregnant women for you next time.”
Fia pressed her hands on the table as she stood up. “Tiger, lead the way. We’re heading back to the office.”
She did not intend to waste any more time on Annie. This little harpy was really good at faking innocence. It was probably a lucky thing that she could not see, or else, she would be revolted even more by a mere look on this girl’s pretentious face.
Tiger carried Fia’s handbag as he led her to the entrance. He was very careful and slow, fearing that anyone would carelessly knock into her.
Annie, still sitting in her seat, stared at every careful step that Fia took. A venomous thought surged up in her mind. These days, young folks were so active in their daily lives that they were not very careful even when there’s a baby in the womb.
Yes, it was quite easy for a woman to miscarry her baby.
Meanwhile, Conrad rushed into the restaurant before Fia was
able to reach the entrance of the restaurant. The man was tall and handsome; so, naturally his sudden appearance caught
many eyes.
They saw this young, handsome man quickly yet carefully carried
this blind girl into his arms, they could not help but to feel
envious of the blind girl.
“Fia, you said you were feeling sick. Are you alright?” Conrad could not help but think of that joyous possibility ever since he heard it from Tiger.
Fia puffed up her cheeks before hugging his neck, raising her mouth to his ear. “I’m just disgusted at some pretentious clown.”
Upon hearing this, Conrad shot a glare at Annie. His glare was so sharp that it was as though it was a knife that could cut through her throat!
Annie was shocked and scared by this. Tears swelled in her eyes as she pitifully walked toward them. “Mr Maxwell… I didn’t do anything. Everyone here is my witness.”
Conrad, ignoring the pretentious vixen, looked at Tiger inquisitively. “What did she say to Fia?”
Tiger shook his head. “I did not hear anything.”
“What are you? Deaf?!”
“Come on. Don’t scold poor Tiger. He stood far away from the table under my orders because I didn’t want him to eavesdrop on us.”
Conrad looked at Tiger sternly. “I see. Tiger, inform the HR…”
Fia pinched his neck lightly. “What are you doing?. The girl did not
do anything to me.”
“She made you upset.”
“Perhaps it’s best that we talk about this in your office.”
The restaurant was a stone’s throw away from Maxwell Corporation. This meant that during lunch hour, there were a lot of people crowding this place. She did not want to give the paparazzi or Conrad’s enemies a hold of anything spicy that could be damaging to the company.
Annie grabbed her handbag tightly, tailing behind the couple as they went back to work quietly. Despite her quiet and pitiful look, she was, in fact, trying to suppress the anger that was boiling in her head.
As Conrad was carrying Fia across the road to Maxwell Corporation, several cars stopped in front of the massive building.
“Fia!”
Fia frowned. She recognized the voices that were calling out to her.
“My uncles.”
Conrad stopped but did not turn to look at them.

He looked at the woman in his embrace. “Do you want to meet them?”
“They’re probably here to ask me to accept the deal to be a Parker.” NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
“Very likely.”
“Then, I don’t want to meet them. Let’s just head into the office.”
Fia buried her face deeper into Conrad’s embrace. This time, she could not feel any luckier to have him on her side.
Or else, this whole ordeal with the Parkers would drive her nuts.
“Fia!” Her uncles rushed forward to get to their niece. There was no way they would give up now.
“Get lost!” Conrad scowled at them. “Don’t force me to get my guards to throw all of you out!”
“We’re here for Fia, not you! You have no right to make the decision for her!” Wallace scolded Conrad fiercely.
