Chapter 818
Ewas stunned upon hearing that. Maxwell Corporation is a place to do work and business, not for playing 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 glance 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.
Ewas glad to hear it. Did this mean that Conrad was frustrated when he saw her being indecisive to play piano at his company earlier? So his frustration burst into anger, which led to him banning her from shopping in his stores!
Without giving it much thought, Esaid, “If you wantto play in your company, of course I will do it.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtConrad nodded coldly. “Good. Then cat noon during the break and play for an hour. If you have other plans that clash with it, you can tell Tiger about it and he’ll rearrange it for you.”
After finishing his words, Conrad turned and left.
Ecould 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, Ethought 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.” Silas smiled as he ordered the
bodyguards to stand down.
Peter hurried downstairs and grabbed Esme’s hand, bringing her away.
Ewhispered, “Don’t be like this. What if others see us?”
“Oh, now you’re afraid of others seeing?” Peter glared at her with his eyes full of rage
Esaw the escalator 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.
“Don’t play 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.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“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, Ebegged, “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 dearly later on!
However, Eslipped and fell backward to the escalator behind.
“Aaahh!” Eshrieked 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 escalator. Half a second later, he regained his thoughts and pressed the escalator’s emergency stop button, halting the escalator.
However, Ehad already fallen all the way to the floor below.
Her head was injured and bleeding from the fall. The fall was intended though. Ehad used all her energy she could muster to keep her body tumbling all the way down the escalator. 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.”
