Chapter 635
Conrad couldn’t even tell, and he had been involved in the situation, yet Silas, who was an outsider, could?
“I know you have deep feelings for Sir, but since he’s involved in the situation, he couldn’t understand.”
Fia frowned and instinctively retorted, “My feelings for him aren’t what you think they are. At first, I only respected
him as an elder sibling. But when two people come together, they can’t remain as a resentful couple, so I
convinced myself.”
Silas was silent. Fine. She wouldn’t admit it! Anyway, he had long ago figured out that Fia liked Conrad and had
thought so shortly after the two married. Because Conrad had mistreated Fia in matters of the heart and because
Fia didn’t want to be exposed, he remained silent.
“I’m going to sleep for a bit,” Fia said. She closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, not wanting Silas to say
anything else that would scare her.
Fia never thought telling Conrad about her secret love for him all these years would bring her the happiness she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwanted. She wanted pure love, and she would never reveal her innermost secret just to hold onto him.
In the office, Fia asked Silas to run an errand for her before making a call to the Foreign Affairs Department.
“Did Director Thomas come today?”
“Yes, she did.”
Without giving the person on the other end of the line a chance to say anything else, Fia continued, “Could you
please have her come to the CEO’s office?”
After speaking, Fia hung up the phone, leaving Annie, who was holding the receiver, to turn red with anger!
“Who was it?” Barbara asked as she returned from the pantry and saw Annie holding the phone receiver in her
hand.
Annie panicked for a second. She put down the receiver and lowered her gaze before saying, “I heard the phone
ring when I came in, so I answered it for you.”
“I’m asking you, who was it?”
“It was Fia.”
Barbara frowned. “We’re at work. Don’t call your superiors by their name directly.”
“What kind of superior is she?” Annie’s perfect expression cracked. “She just got lucky and married a good man,
and now she’s relying on him!”

“Get out! Without my permission, you’re not allowed to enter my office for personal reasons again!”
“Don’t you feel sorry for Britney?!” Annie asked indignantly.
“It’s not your place to feel that way for her! That is a family matter, and it’s my family, not yours!” Barbara said as
she shoved Annie out her office door before heading toward the CEO’s office on the top floor.
When the knock on the door came, Fia looked up and smiled as she stood.
“Madam Barbara, please come in.”
Barbara walked in with a complicated look in her eyes.
Fia didn’t notice and placed a pillow on the couch opposite her and said, “Please have a seat, Madam Barbara.”
Barbara sat down and was about to speak when Fia interrupted her. She spoke in a warm and gentle manner. “Has
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyour office been affected by the fire? Do you need anything replaced or fixed?”
Barbara lost some of her indifference when faced with Fia’s kind demeanor.
“The office has been cleaned up, and the environment now is better than before.”
“That’s good to hear.”
“Mr. Silas is reliable and efficient. He gets things done quickly and efficiently,” Barbara
praised.
“That he does,” Fia agreed. “He’s an important assistant to me. In some way, he knows more than I do about
certain things.”
“Why did you call me here? Was it just to talk about this?” Barbara asked.
“Wait a moment. I’ll make you a cup of coffee.”
“I’d like milk and sugar with it,” Barbara said.
“No problem!”
After brewing two cups of coffee, Fia handed one to Barbara. When Barbara reached out to accept it, she could
smell the other strong and bitter cup. It meant that it was pure black without any cream or sugar.
She looked at Fia in surprise. “You’re such a young girl, but you drink such bitter coffee?”
