Chapter 602
When they returned to his office, Conrad sat down with Fia to work on her designs, as promised. After finishing
working on three designs, a happy smile appeared on Fia’s face.
“I’m planning to add them into my grandma’s project. Do you think it’ll work?”
There was a glint of sorrow in Conrad’s eyes. “You don’t want to work with me?”
Fia squinted and hugged Conrad’s arm.
“But you do like my grandma’s project, don’t you?”
Conrad’s Adam’s apple bobbed when he heard this. He could not help but to recall their grandparents’ relationship.
And her grandmother… Thea Lawson’s death was his fault because he insisted on robbing that project from her
hands via a legal loophole, and it angered her so much she passed away soon
after.
He did not have the courage to tell Fia the entire story.

And yet, Grandma wanted to take it away from the Maxwells because of
me.”
“Fia, let’s not talk about it. Let bygones be bygones.” Conrad hugged Fia tightly, hiding his face from her view. He
feared that Fia would notice something from his expression.
Fia tugged comfortably in his embrace as she slowly said, “I made up my mind when my eyesight was lost. I’d like
to entrust that project to Maxwell Corporation.”
“Fia.” Conrad felt a pinch of hurt in his heart.
He lied to her. Yet, he was still blessed with her unfaltering trust.
He could not tell her the truth. If he did, he would upset her, and their relationship would worsen again.
Their grandparents had already passed away. He and Fia were a married couple. It would not matter if the project
was in her or his hands.
All he needed to do now was make sure that he never mistreated her ever again!
“I will do my best to work on your grandmother’s project.”
Fia circled her arms around Conrad’s waist. “You’ll not be doing it alone though. I’ll be with you.”
Suddenly, a few knocks could be heard on the door. Fia quickly fled from Conrad’s arms and

abashedly tried to fix her hair.
It was Silas. He came to ask for Conrad’s signature for a few documents.
Conrad then went back to his desk and began to sign the documents while also discussing Thea’s project with Silas.
Silas, on the other hand, was feeling nervous for his boss. That document that detailed Senior Mr. Maxwell and Thea
Lawson’s partnership was acquired from the former’s grave. He knew quite well that talking about this matter in
front of Fia was very risky for his boss.
“Understood, Silas?” Conrad raised his head and glared at him.
The spot Silas was standing at perfectly blocked Fia’s view. He cleared his throat before replying, “Understood, sir.”
“I’ll leave the supervising of the project to you. You better oversee everything with utmost care. I don’t want to see

Silas nodded, “Of course, sir. I’ll make sure this project runs well. It will surely bring a stellar achievement to our
company!”
Fia, upon hearing this, quickly interrupted them, “Silas, don’t you worry. I’ll help too. I’ve done my best coming up
with the designs for the project!”
A conflicted look flashed in Silas’ eyes for a brief moment. Then, he switched to a loyal, lapdog grin at her.
“Don’t worry, madam. The project is in good hands. The entire company will spare no effort to ensure its success!”
As Silas walked out of the office, Fia felt something was off.
She stared at Conrad, who was reading reports on his computer, and said, “Although Silas was smiling, he seemed
to be under immense pressure.”
“Don’t mind him. That’s just how he usually is.”
“Could it be that there were disagreements in the company? Disagreements regarding my grandma’s project?”
“You’re my wife. What sort of disagreement can they have?”
“Is your company planning something massively important recently? You’re not thinking of ruining the company’s
agenda just to run my grandma’s project, are you?
