Chapter 499
Annie was able to completely neutralize the tricky spot she fell in.
Fia remained in her seat elegantly, with her hands folded on her lap. There was no sign of weakness in her blinded, yet beautiful
eyes.
Annie waved a waitress over and ordered twelve dishes. The
flavors of the dishes were quite varied. There were poultry, fish, cattle meats, and even a fruit salad in the mix. These would
surely cover everyone’s taste buds.
Her colleagues looked at her with astonishment. The total cost of these dishes would cost a fortune.
After ordering those, Annie smiled at the waitress. “And a bottle of 82‘ Lafite, please.”
Several colleagues could not help but gasp at what she did.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA bottle of 1982 Chateau Lafite would cost at least 40,000 to 45,000 dollars.
“Annie, you don’t have to spend this lavishly for the treat.”
“Yeah, you’re new in the company. And it’s the beginning of your career. You haven’t earned much money yet.”
“We get that you’re a generous host… but this is simply too expensive a meal for a treat…”
“It’s okay. It’s not expensive.” Annie took a cold glance at Fia. I’m treating Mrs. Maxwell to lunch. So, I can’t mistreat her.”
Fia beamed up a warm smile. “Annie is such a good girl. Come
on, everyone. Let’s chow down.”
Everyone looked at one another with confusion. They could sense a weird, eerie vibe between Annie and Mrs. Maxwell.
One of them opened her mouth cautiously. “There’s still work in the afternoon. Perhaps I shouldn’t drink…”
“Don’t worry. Mrs. Maxwell is here. I’m quite certain that even if we’re too drunk to work later on, Mr. Maxwell won’t be mad at us.” Annie put on a sweet smile. “Isn’t that right, Mrs. Maxwell?”
Annie was trying to put pressure on Fia, trying to see if it would break her. A glimpse of panic, fear… Anything would do! Just a glimpse of that, and it would be her victory.
However…
Fia still maintained the appearance of an elegant, noble lady.” Miss Parker’s right. Rest assured, girls. I’m here with you. Please, do enjoy yourself.”
Meanwhile, Tiger had heard everything nearby.
He took a look at Annie, wondering if he should report this to Conrad. However, the madam seemed to be enjoying herself. If he told Conrad this, and he cto spoil the fun, this would make the madam upset!
If the madam was upset, then Conrad would be upset too! Then, he and poor Silas would be on the receiving end of Conrad’s wrath!
Sigh. It was probably the best for him to just keep on observing.
A while later, the dishes were served. Annie’s colleagues did their best to serve Fia, fearing that she would not be able to have
her meal properly without her eyesight.
Fia put a hand over the meal being served to her and rejected gently. “It’s alright, girls. I had a few bites at hbefore
coming here. So, I’ll just have sdessert. Please, don’t worry aboutand enjoy your lunch.”
The girls let out a sigh of relief and thanked Fia for her generosity before digging in.

“Mrs. Maxwell, would you fancy sof this?”
Fia smiled, “No, it’s alright. My husband and I are trying to have a baby. So, it would be best that I refrain from alcohol.”
A surge of jealousy boiled in Annie’s heart while the other girls congratulated Fia with sparkly envious eyes.
“May you and Mr. Maxwell have a healthy baby soon, Mrs. Maxwell!”
“Yeah, perhaps you’ll have a boy and a girl! Yes!”
“Indeed! Indeed! Twins! That’d be great news!”
Fia smiled elegantly as she raised her glass of water. “Thank you, everyone.”
The girls raised their glasses to cautiously touch them to Fia’s glass, fearing that even a tiny bit of impact would ruin the hypothetical baby that was in her tummy. Because if she indeed was pregnant, and if the baby was hurt, Mr. Maxwell would have their heads!
Annie was so pissed that she almost crushed the glass in her hands. Despite that, she still tried her best to maintain the smile on her face.
What’s there to smile about, blinded b*tch?! She was not
pregnant, and yet she strolled out like she owned the street! Hmph! She looked as barren as a desert; there was no way she could give birth to anything but a fart!
