Chapter 698


Eileen tried to clear her throat, yet no words came out from her mouth.


She sat there in silence for a while as Fia lost her cool and scolded her. “Eileen, how could you not discuss with me before giving him my designs?!”


“I’m sorry, Fia. I just…”


Elleen had no excuse for her spur-of-the-moment recklessness back then. She felt like a fool, especially learning about just how well Fia and Conrad got along recently.


She should never have given Jason the designs.


“Eileen, Conrad got really mad at me today.” Fia covered her face with her hand as tears rolled down.


“He has always despised his father. This is why he couldn’t stand Jason. He had known about my designs falling in Jason’s hands. Yet, he never confronted me about it before this. He even tries to soothe me whenever I’m in a bad mood.


“He must have kept this in his heart for so long. That’s why he lost his temper with me today.” Fia recalled how furious Conrad was. Even his eyes were bloodshot when he flipped the table. She was so frightened when she saw him like this.


Nonetheless, Conrad still did his best to force his temper down, probably worried that he would scare her.


“Eileen… Sorry, I shouldn’t blame you for this.” Fia’s emotions began swinging violently. “You did that for my good. Because I told you I wanted to earn more money. That’s why you submitted my designs to him…. I shouldn’t blame you for this… How could I? It’s not fair to blame you for this.”


Eileen’s heart ached when she heard this through her phone. Her friend was so distraught she must be crying like a baby right now.


“No, Fia. It’s my fault. I should have acted more cautiously back then. Don’t worry. I’ll contact Conrad later. I’ll explain it to him.”


“Don’t call him. He’s in a foul mood right now!” Fia thought for a moment before saying, “No matter what happens, you should focus on your training and prove your worth. If you piss off Conrad now, he might not help you anymore.”


Eileen’s eyes were reddened with tears. “How could you think for me at this moment? If Conrad keeps assuming and believing that you and Jason have feelings for each other all because of me…”


“It’s fine!” Fia wiped off her tears. “He won’t think that! I’m with him every day, am I not? He might seem heartless but he’s been really good to me. If I talk to him nicely, if I comfort him, he’ll be fine. As for you, you keep pursuing your dream. I’m waiting to welcome you home when you’re a star!”


Then, she hung up the phone and went to the washroom to wash her face. She practiced the gentlest smile she could give numerous times in the mirror.


Then, she climbed back onto the bed and made a video call to Conrad.


“Mr. Maxwell, this contract…” Silas’ report was interrupted by Conrad’s phone.


Conrad glanced at his phone, hung up, set it to silent mode, and slammed it onto his desk.


“Go on.”


“The client disagrees with some of the terms. Perhaps you should renegotiate with them…”


“If they don’t want the partnership, they can piss off!” Conrad interrupted Silas coldly.


As Silas tried to say something to persuade his boss further, he was interrupted by the phone again.


Conrad clenched his teeth as he looked at the vibrating phone. He needed some time-out, to avoid fighting with Fia at the moment. That was why he refused to accept her phone call.


Yet, what if she was in trouble?


“Get qut!”


“Yes, sir.” Silas quickly fled out of his boss’ office. After lunch, his boss had been in a foul mood. He did not want to upset him further.


Conrad took in a long breath. Then, he stood in front of his office’s French window and answered the phone, switching it from a video call to audio call.


“Yes, Fia?”


Although the call was switched from video to audio call, Fia felt relieved after hearing her husband’s gentle voice. He accepted her call-this was a good sign.


“Hubby, are you busy right now?”


Conrad felt as though his legs mellowed into jelly. Her voice sounded so sweet, kittenish, and alluring.
