“Silas,” Conrad said sarcastically after being silent for a moment.
“Yes? Silas replied, looking up in confusion.
“Check if Fia has been in contact with him lately.”
Silas seemed to piece together the pieces as he thought back to the pictures he had printed.
“Do you mean that this designer is Madam…?”
Fia sat rigidly on the couch in Conrad’s office. She was tense as she was afraid that someone would walk into Conrad’s office at any time.
About half an hour later, the door opened, and she turned her head in that direction.

He hadn’t needed Silas to look into it. He was sure it must have been Fia’s work just by looking at the picture.
No matter how unpleasant things had becbetween them before because of Esme, they were still husband and wife, weren’t they? Why didn’t she tell him before she helped Jason?
“Is that you, Conrad?” Fia asked, straining her ears. She felt uneasy as she had only heard the door open and no footsteps.
Conrad clenched his fist and shoved down the irritation in his heart. He walked toward her and said, “The meeting just adjourned. Have you been waiting long?”
“No. It’s fine.”
This was the first tFia was in his office. She was eager to see the decor of his office and the place where he worked. Unfortunately, she couldn’t see anything in her condition.
Conrad noted the disappointment on her face, and his displeasure was instantly mostly replaced by pity. He sat beside her and took her small hands that were clenched tightly into his.
He patiently uncurled each finger and patted her palm..
“There’s no need to be so nervous. Even if I’m not here, no one apart from Silas is allowed to enter the office.”
“Oh…” Fia nodded, then asked, “So… even if they had something urgent to speak with you, they still can’t
cin?”
“They would have to go to Silas first before coming to see me.”
“Oh…”
Fia was suddenly less nervous, and she smiled sweetly. “So if I stay in your office all day, no one would see me?”
“Well, except for Silas.”
“I’m fine with Silas. I know him well enough,” she replied easily, excitement now bleeding slightly into her voice. “You should get to work, then.”

“You work, and I’ll listen to my classes. I’ll try to get my diploma as soon as possible.”
When Conrad heard her words, he couldn’t help but think about the plain-style designs she had given. Jason without his knowledge, which helped stabilize Argonauts Corp’s position in the industry.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Which style of designing do you prefer?”
“Why the sudden question?” Fia asked back, puzzled.
“Is it hard to answer?”
“Well, not really,” Fia said naively. She turned serious and said, “I actually prefer plain styles and those that incorporate our local customs. But these two elements aren’t really popular, so I’m fine with other styles.
too!”
“You have a talent for extravagant styles and others too,” Conrad reminded her. “The two designs you gaveearlier broke Maxwell Corporation’s all-thigh sales.”
Fia flushed at the praise. “Ah… is that so? Then… I’m pretty good, I guess?”
“Hmm…” Conrad hummed as he caressed her smooth face. “Could you specialize in those styles for me?”
Fia frowned. “A designer has a soul, you know? You’re deprivingof it by askingto give up. something I love! Why did you have the company reject plain-style designs when there’s a huge market for it?”
The light in Conrad’s eyes vanished instantly, and his gentle expression turned hard and cold as he tried to understand what was in Fia’s heart.
