Chapter 498
Why was she still standing there unbothered? How could Conrad still bring her to work as if nothing had happened?
Why? How?!
Meanwhile, Fia asked softly, “Miss Parker, would it be alright for me to join you all for lunch?”
“Of course! We welcome Mrs. Maxwell with open arms!” The other girls agreed before Annie was able to react at
all.
Annie began cursing Fia deep in her heart despite the great amount of etiquette lessons she took in her youth.
“Miss Parker, I hope it’s alright with you,” Fia asked Annie again
with a soft voice.
“Of course! Welcome!” Annie forced up a smile.
Fia responded with a bright smile before facing Conrad and poking at his waist, “Conrad, they agreed to allow me to
join them for lunch. Would you kindly give me permission?”

“Conrad!” Fia hugged Conrad’s arm, flirting with her husband in front of the girls.
“Please? I did not have enough to eat at home earlier. I want to join them.”
Conrad knew what she had in mind. Having lunch with the girls was just an excuse. The more likely reason was that
Fia wanted
to talk to Annie face–to–face.
“Conrad, please let me go with them. It’s such a rare occasion.
Please?”
Fia’s sweet, flirty voice and her exquisite beauty was a superb combo onto Conrad’s psyche, as though they were
gradually mellowing the core of his bones.
“Fine. But I’ll come with you.”
“No, you can’t join us. If you join us, the girls will be so scared
that they won’t have lunch properly. Besides, you’re the boss of al mega corporation. Sitting together with all these
beautiful girls… what would others think of you?” Fia put on an angry face.
Conrad sighed and decided to concede. “I’ll escort you to the
restaurant.”
“Okay!”
Conrad sent Fia to a restaurant near his company, and ordered Tiger to keep an eye on her.
“Mrs. Maxwell, what would you like to drink?”
“Do you want tea? Or some milk tea?”
“Perhaps, a cup of coffee?”
“Would you like some sugar in the coffee?”
After they settled in their seats, the girls began to pester Fia with caring questions.
Although she was anxious, Fia did her best to maintain a calm and collected look. “Just plain water will do. Thank
you.”
This was the first time she got to act in such a high–profile role since the first day of her marriage with Conrad.

from Annie.
Right at this moment, Annie was still forcing a smile while trying to suppress her bad mood.
“Let’s order our meal, shall we?” She opened the menu and asked a colleague who was pouring a glass of water for
Fia.
The colleague took the menu and brought it over to Fia.
Annie sneered at Fia. She wanted to see what this blind b*tch would do.
Fia did not face the girl with the menu. Instead, she beamed up a soft and gentle smile. “I’m sorry. I can’t see
anything. So, it’s best that you all order whatever you like.”
The girl was stunned for a few seconds before nervously trying to explain herself, “Mrs. Maxwell, I’m sorry. I didn’t
mean to…”
She then glared furiously at Annie, who smiled as she received the menu from her. There was not a hint of ill–intent
on her face.
“Perhaps I’ll do the ordering. It’s me treating after all. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely make sure the order satisfies
everyone here.”
