Chapter 537
“What do you mean?” Conrad asked.
“Should we send Madam Barbara’s sister to another department to avoid any negative effects on Madam Barbara’s
reputation?”
“Barbara herself isn’t even worried about her own reputation, so what are you worrying for?” Conrad’s attitude was
a little heartless. “If work progress is affected by her sister, the both of them can just leave together!”
Fia was speechless.
Her husband was so stern. She wanted to say something but did not quite dare to.
As a wife, she should not meddle too much.
Forget it, she’d just listen quietly. Her husband’s words were not
wrong.
Since Madam Barbara dared to directly hire her sister to be her assistant, then she should have the boldness to
bear all the
consequences!
Therefore, Britney easily entered Maxwell Corporation and became Barbara’s assistant.

Silas went to the canteen to order food for Conrad and Fia, and coincidentally met Barbara leading Britney along.
He looked at Britney a couple of times, who was acting obedient, her eyes never wandering around, appearing to
have a little fear of socializing.
That look made him think of Fia back then when she also acted carefully.
He did not think too much. With Barbara’s character, her sister’s character should be fine too.
After ordering the dishes and sending them back to the CEO’s office, Silas returned to the canteen and prepared to
find a corner to eat his own food he ordered.
He suddenly heard someone calling him. “Mr. Silas!”
He looked over in surprise, it was Madam Barbara.
This woman had always been proud and indifferent. Aside from work matters, she would never call him, and
definitely not in the canteen during a meal.
“Mr. Silas, come over. I have something to tell you,” Barbara said with a semi-cold look.
Britney, who was by her side, quickly glanced at Silas, as if very
fearful.
Silas hesitated for a couple of seconds before carrying his plate over.
“Madam Barbara, is there anything I can help you with?”
“Eat first.” Barbara was not anxious.
Silas felt that women like her who had too much of a character gave the most headaches. He quickly finished his
food and looked at
Barbara to ask her what the matter was.
A hand reached over, offering a napkin.
“That… Mr. Silas, it’s for you to wipe your mouth.”
“Thank you.” Silas accepted the napkin Britney offered and his first impression of her was not bad.
“It’s only a small matter.” Britney looked obedient and a little shy, lowering her gaze.
Silas looked at her for a short while then looked at Madam Barbara.
Barbara said a little uneasily, “I’m sorry. About me hiring my own assistant, I didn’t discuss it with you all
beforehand…”
“No worries, Mr. Maxwell said that you could make your own decision on your assistant.” Silas purposely smiled in a
c*nning manner. ” However, you should take good care of the people you bring in, and don’t bring any trouble to
the company.”
Britney, who had her head lowered, never changed her expression, pinching her palm tightly before managing to
maintain the obedient and timid character of “Britney”.
Barbara patted her own sister’s stiff back.

She will not cause any trouble for the company.”
“But what if?” Silas kept his c*nning smile on.
“If that happens, I will resign on my own,” Barbara said boldly. She
believed in her own sister.
“Barbara!” Britney had an aggrieved and worried look. “Don’t do this kind of silly thing for me. I think it’s still better
for me to leave.”
“What do you mean to leave? You’re already here, so just work properly. You better work hard for my sake!”
Britney had teary eyes as she looked at Barbara in pain and then glared at Silas somewhat angrily.
Like a child being forced into a corner, she said, “Why is there a need to speak to my sister like this? If anything
goes wrong, then I will leave on my own! My sister has been in Maxwell Corporation for so
long. Could it be that you still don’t believe her?!
“How can there be such a person like you?!” She muttered aggrievedly then lowered her head and no longer raised
it.
Silas frowned, feeling that bit guilty.
Madam Barbara was trustworthy, and those words were merely to test Madam Barbara, to avoid any ‘what ifs’.
Her younger sister, who was sitting in front of him, was too timid and sensitive. The two sisters were really worlds
apart!
