An adorable figure curled up to a glob on the bed as rays of sunlight slipped through the window curtains into the
room.
Conrad, having finished a phone call, walked into the room, got
on the bed, and laid his eyes on the glob on the bed.
After a while, she mumbled, “What time is it?”
Conrad glanced at his watch. “It’s past 10.”
She took a deep sigh after taking two seconds to recollect herself. “Oh well, that’s one morning wasted.”
Conrad scooted over to her and gently patted her head.
“It’s alright. Just lie down longer if you’re tired.”
Fia took a deep breath and hugged the hand that was patting her head.
“How about you laze with me on the bed for a while? After lunch, I’ll accompany you to the company.“.
“Sure.”
Conrad pulled away the blanket and cuddled with Fia.
This made Fia feel safe and comfortable, scooped into Conrad’s embrace, and she nudged her back firmly to his

Conrad frowned and slightly moved back a little.
This position would stick them too close to one another–it was
too intense for him.
However, the lovely lady kept moving closer to him every time he moved away.
Having no choice, Conrad put a hand on her back, trying to stop her from sticking too closely to him.
“Fia, stop it.”
“But you’re not hugging me tight enough!”
Hearing this, Conrad stopped his resistance, as he had been doing his best suppressing his urges. Nonetheless, Fia
still was able to feel that his body temperature was rising.
Finally understanding what was going on, Fia turned over and laid a finger on his chest.
“Conrad… Are you… turned on right now?”
”
The Adam’s apple on Conrad’s throat bobbed after hearing this.

way up to his lips.
“I want to feel happy, Conrad.”
Her voice was so sweet that it tickled her man’s bones.
Annie arrived at the Foreign Affairs Department’s director’s office, thinking that she would have a chance to submit
documents.
Barbara took a glance at her before continuing on with her work.
“Leave the documents there. I’ll have a look at them later.”
“Auntie, I want to…”
Barbara slapped her pen onto her desk with a soft thud and she gave Annie a cold glare.
“We are at work right now!”
Annie bit her lip. “My apologies, Director Thomas.”
“If you’ve got something to say, just say it.”
“My uncle went to the Maxwells to formally introduce himself as
Mrs. Maxwell’s father this morning. I went with him too.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBarbara frowned. “So?”
“We did not get to meet Mrs. Maxwell.”
Annie paused with a saddened look on her face.
“I’m afraid that the incident earlier about the delivery package had strained Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell’s relationship.
Could it be that they had a fierce fight? Was that why we’re not allowed to
meet her?”
Barbara squinted at her. “Annie, what exactly are you implying?”
“It’s almost noon and Mr. Maxwell hasn’t arrived at work yet.
You’re a director… So, perhaps you could go check on them? I fear that…”
“Annie Parker!” Barbara slapped her hand on her desk loudly.” You’re merely an employee. What do you care
what’s happening in their personal lives?! Haven’t you learned your lesson from that delivery package incident?!
Keep Mr. Maxwell out of your little head!”
“No, no! Don’t get me wrong.” Annie anxiously waved her hands. ” I’m just worried that their fight could escalate
into violence at their home, where no one’s watching. Mrs. Maxwell is a fragile lady. There’s no way she could win
Mr. Maxwell in a fist fight, not with her being blind and all that!”
Barbara gave Annie an inquisitive look. “How do you know they’d be fighting?”
