Chapter 326
“…” Fia was completely confused. However, a car honk could be heard. When she saw Jason roll down the car window, she quickly ran over.
Finn’s eyes followed Fia as she got into the car and then went to Jason who was driving, and his smile became even wider.
Jason nodded to him before rolling up the car window.
“Evans, he said that he’s the director! Is he joking? Since when is a director so free?”
Jason chuckled. “Then you’ll be disappointed. He is indeed the director. He just got appointed.”
“What?”
“What is it?”
“But he’s so strange. He came to talk to me and asked me some questions!”
Fia didn’t understand what was happening. “Why would a director like him speak to a commoner like me?” Jason was also quite confused, but he said honestly, “Mr. Parker is a good officer. Gryphon needs to get rid of all the corrupt officials. The duty he’s been given is quite heavy.”
“You know him?”
“My dad does.” Jason paused. “The reason that I was able to see you together with Eileen last time was because my dad asked for his help.”
Fia was stunned before feeling guilty.
“I see,” she said. However, when that kind smile from Finn appeared in her mind again, she still felt that something was wrong.
“Sir!” Silas quickly ran in. “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine.”
When Conrad remembered the expression that Fia had, he was feeling extremely melancholic.
He had to work even harder. Otherwise, Fia would ask for a divorce as soon as she was discharged from the hospital.
“Mr. Maxwell, I’ve lodged a complaint against these idiots! How can they do this to you with Ms. Manning? Also, I’ve managed to contact the new director. I heard that he’s moved here from the capital. Assistant Director Manning is done for!” Silas said excitedly.
Conrad rolled his eyes at him. “Okay, I know.”
“Ah, I didn’t know your clothes were all wet. I’ll take some clothes for you.”
“No need. We can leave soon.”
“Huh?” Silas was being very curious. Did his boss prepare something else?
“You’ll know later.”
Conrad’s expression suddenly turned cold as he asked, “Where’s Esme?”
“Outside. She’s still tied to the bed. She’s acting like a horny she–cat,” Silas said in disdain. “Ms. Manning really doesn’t have a bottom line, unlike our madam….”
But when he saw how his boss’s expression became darker and darker, Silas swallowed everything else he wanted to say.
“I’ve overestimated her. And the more I overestimated her character, the more I hurt Fia.”
“Don’t worry, sir. She’s always kind and generous… The madam will definitely forgive you this time too!”
“Maybe.”
When the door to the washroom was opened, the people standing outside didn’t dare look at the man.
Only one person took a step forward and looked Conrad right in the eye.
The two of them were about the same height and carried the same air about them.
However, Conrad’s aura carried the boldness from one’s youth, while Director Finn’s aura carried the steadiness from one’s age.
“Hello, Mr. Maxwell. I’m Finn Parker.”
Conrad nodded and extended his hand. “Good to see you, Mr. Parker.”
