Fia shook her head. “It’s for kids.”
“No one said that only kids can eat it. As a girl, there are times you will feel uncomfortable. Carrying some candy with you would be better.” Jason insisted and put it in front of her.
Seeing the time, he said apologetically, “I have a client to meet, so I have to make a move first.”
“Sure.”
Jason hesitated momentarily. “If he doesn’t treat you well, don’t keep it to yourself. Even if you don’t want to trouble me, you still have the Parkers.”
Fia was slightly stunned and did not speak.
Jason did not dare to say too much about the Parkers, afraid that he would provoke her displeasure and left after saying goodbye.
Fia sat alone at her original spot, ordered another cup of black coffee, and drank it leisurely.
Seeing the milk candy that Jason placed on the table, it would be a lie to say that she was not touched.
However, being touched did not equal liking or love.
She could only hope that Jason could meet the person he was meant for a little sooner.
Her phone rang, and seeing the caller, she hesitated for a couple of seconds before picking up.
That voice was obedient and aggrieved, with a hint of carefulness-
“Sis Fia, did I cause you and Mr. Maxwell to fight because I sent Esme’s things to him?”
Fia gritted her teeth. “Miss Thomas, haven’t I told you to quit calling me elder sister. You look older than I do. I can’t accept you addressing me as such!”
Especially after seeing the shadow of Esme in Britney, she could not directly face Britney calling her that!
“I’m sorry. I’m not saying that you are old. I’m just trying to be respectful. I know that you don’t like me too much but I’m worried that you would fight with Mr. Maxwell because of the package I sent. I…”
“Did you call me because you thought that I did not know it was you who sent the package?” Fia coldly. interrupted Britney’s fake actions.
Esme instantly frowned and continued to speak in “Britney’s” tone. “You’ve misunderstood. I did not intentionally incite you both. I am really concerned about you.”
“Concerned about me?” Fia rubbed the back of her neck, a wildness appearing in her eyes as she reported the café she was at and said coldly, “Come over and properly show your concern!”
After she finished speaking, she hung up.
Esme looked at her phone and smiled scornfully, and looked at Peter who was dressed in a sterile suit and busying away in the lab.
She picked up one of the internal lines to call the person inside.
The Internal phone rang on the other side. Peter turned to look at Esme who was on the outside and picked up the receiver, placing it by his ear.
“What’s the matter?”
“Fia just called me and invited me to meet her. Should I go?”
Peter’s tone was indifferent. “Isn’t this the ending that you want?”
“Mr. Hall, can you not see through me so fast?” Esme sent Peter a flying kiss through the glass wall and was about to hang up.
“Wait a minute.” Peter called her back. “I reckon she won’t talk to you properly since she called you over.”
Esme lowered her head with a smile and a hint of cunningness flitted through her eyes. “So?”
Peter replied. “There is a vault in the cabinet outside. The passcode is your birthday. Open it and bring the small green bottle with you.”
“What is it?”
“An anesthetic,” Peter said coldly. “If she dares to attack you, spray it at her and protect yourself.”
Esme said a word of thanks, hung up, and quickly went to the cabinet.
Opening the vault inside, besides the small green bottle, there were a few red, yellow and black small bottles. There were quite a few bottles of each color.
If it was the real Britney, she would naturally know what they were.
Esme, who was pretending to be Britney, did not know. However, she had seen Britney’s work notebook and besides the small black bottles that were not recorded, she knew what the green bottles, red bottles, and yellow bottles contained.
She did not just take a small green bottle of anesthetics. She also took a small red bottle and a small yellow bottle.
These were all very useful to her!
