After he finished half his glass of water, Jason pulled out his phone and tapped on it for a while. Pulling up a specific contact, he said, “I have the number of Ms. Reid’s assistant You can use my phone to call
her.”
“Eileen’s assistant? Lyn?”
“Yeah.”
Fia took Jason’s phone and muttered when she saw the number, An international number?”
“Yes,” Jason replied, then furrowed his brow, realizing that he had revealed something.
Fia asked curiously, “Why didn’t Eileen giveLyn’s contact information, but she gave it to you?”

contacted me.”
Fia was a little unhappy at his reply.
“Why did she get Lyn to contact you but not me?”
Fia hadn’t been able to reach Eileen because of that.
Jason didn’t know what else to say, so he replied, “Ms. Reid knows that you and Conrad are going through
a happy life right now, so she was probably afraid to disturb you.”
“It’s not like that!” Fia grew more agitated. “It must be Conrad who told her not to contact me! He’s unreasonable when it comes to his jealousy, and it doesn’t differentiate between genders!”

“It’s Fia.”

“Fia called you. She’s using Mr. Evan’s phone, Lyn explained and handed the phone to Eileen before helping her back into the room.
“Hello, Fia?” Eileen said cautiously.
Fia frowned, then looked at Jason, who was on his second glass of water.
“I’ll go to the restroom for a bit, Evans.”
“Go ahead.”
“Can I borrow your phone?”
Jason nodded without hesitation. “Sure.”
He understood she wanted to talk to Eileen without his presence.
