Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 190
“She really wants that project that much?” Conrad got a headache whenever he thought of it. He was thinking of completely erasing every single trace of that project.
He was willing to make a new project for her.
“Sir, you didn’t know about it either. You can’t blame yourself for what happened to Madam Thea.” Silas consoled him.
He heard footsteps from behind him. Conrad turned and saw Lola. He looked at her with a cold expression.
“Silas, send her home!”
He didn’t want to see her in his home. He didn’t know what Fia was thinking and why she would befriend someone like that.
Lola knew that there was no chance for her to get any closer to Conrad today. In order to not make him detest her more than he already did, she left without any complaints.
Only a nightlight was kept on in the bedroom when Conrad walked in. He saw Fia already in bed.
Normally, she wouldn’t go to bed that early. She would speak to him about the happy things that happened during the day and would then help him prepare for his shower and get his clothes for him.
He couldn’t get used to how cold she had become.
“Fia, there’s something I want to talk to you about.” He sat down by the bed and looked at her lying on the bed.
Fia quietly opened her eyes. There wasn’t much emotion in those eyes of hers.
“Speak.”
“Your grandmother’s project is deteriorating. The company has decided to cancel the project. I’m planning to start a new project for you… To replace your grandma’s project.”
Fia suddenly sat up. “What do you mean? My grandma’s project helped the Maxwell Corporation to get through its hardest time! You can’t cancel it just because you want to! It belongs to my grandma and it’s not yours! You can’t cancel it!”
“I’m doing this for the company. Not all projects can maintain their excellence throughout the ages. Time marches on… So do the projects.”
“Bullshit!” Fia was so angry that she couldn’t help but curse out loud. ” Fine. Since that project isn’t earning anything anymore, you can pass it on to me. You can’t cancel it! You don’t have the right to cancel it!”
“Fia, calm down!”
!
Fia tightened her fist and slammed at her chest as she screamed her heart out. “I can’t calm down! Can you calm down if it was you? Can you think from my perspective?!”
She finally understood her grandma’s passion for that project when she discovered her own passion for design.
But now, the man that she had loved for more than ten years wanted to destroy it. How could she calm down?
Conrad remained silent. He did think about it in her shoes, and that
was why he wanted to start a project for her.
That was why he used her designs despite the objection he faced in the company, and even gave her such high payment that someone with her experience and reputation would never get!
“Do we have to end up like this?” His tone was filled with tiredness.” I’m doing this for you.”
“If you’re really doing this for me, you wouldn’t have provoked us when my mom was seriously ill! You wouldn’t have gone to court with my grandma! You wouldn’t have let your mother humiliate my mom on her deathbed! Conrad Maxwell, I don’t want us to end like this too! But all of this… You did all of this!” Fia roared out as her tears finally rolled down her cheeks.
She was in so much heartache. What did she do in her past lives to meet him in this life?!
“Fine, it’s my fault, alright?”
“Is that the attitude of someone apologizing?!”
“Then what do you want?!” Conrad’s eyes turned dark. “You’re © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
becoming so inexplicable right now! Is the reason you asked Lola to come here for dinner to disgust me?”
“Are you even worth the effort? It’s you and Esme who are making me disgusted!” Fia said as she gritted her teeth. “In one moment, you two are together. In the next moment, you say you want to maintain your distance from her! Are you schizophrenic?!”
Conrad frowned deeply. Fia’s words were like a slap on his face. It made him furious and embarrassed.
“I think I shouldn’t have cared about you at all!”
He turned around and left the bedroom after he said that, and slammed the door behind him.
Fia was trembling. The coldness in her heart instantly consumed her as she buried herself under the blanket, curling herself up in bed.
