Chapter 1232
“Ms. Reid, I suggest you stop daydreaming. I am Sia Stewart, not that friend of yours.”
“My friend had surgery when she was little because of a tumor in her throat.” Eileen asked, “Does that mean she cannot receive any voice changing surgery?”
“How would I know? You should forward this question to a surgeon,” Fia answered indifferently.
“Sigh, alright. Let’s not talk about that anymore. Let’s talk about…”
“I do not have a lick of interest in Mr. Maxwell. Ms. Reid, please do not ask me to do the impossible,” Fia interjected Eileen right away.
Eileen shrugged with a bitter smile and said, “You’re quite an interesting woman, you know? There are so many women still swooning over Conrad even after he’s lost a leg. They would do anything to get close to him. This is such a golden opportunity … Why won’t you take the chance?”
“Golden opportunity, you say? Sure, then why don’t you do it?” Fia said cynically.
“Me? Oh, forget it! I am not interested in him at all.” Eileen lowered her head to look at her fidgeting fingers.
“Because you already fell for someone else?”
“What makes you say so?” Eileen raised her head and stared at Fia. “It’s been years since I debuted. Everyone knows I’m single.”
“That’s just the image a celebrity puts forth to the public. Usually, superstars like you have numerous relationships. Ms. Reid, you’re so beautiful and talented. It wouldn’t surprise me if many wealthy
tycoons and famed actors fell for you.’ This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Although Fia’s words sounded cynical and sarcastic, her eyes were gentle when saying them.
Feeling that they were getting closer, Eileen slid closer to Fia and asked, “Tell me, are you a butch or a femme?”
“??”
Fia raised an eyebrow and asked, “I’ve already given birth to two kids. And you’re asking me if I’m a lesbian?”
Fia originally did not know about these terminologies in the LGBT community. It was Eileen who imparted this knowledge to her after she became an actor and got more involved in the entertainment industry.
“Oh, you know about these too?” Eileen’s eyes lit up and asked, “Where did you learn all these?”
“Modern women can look after themselves nowadays. So, it’s not uncommon for some to refuse to find those heartless man- pigs as their life partners,” Fia looked away and said.
Sliding closer, Eileen said, “You know, some lesbians only find out that they’re not really attracted to men after marriage.”

Fia looked back at Eileen with a straight face. “So, are you a lesbian, Ms. Reid?”
“Hahaha! For you, I can be a lesbian too!” Eileen caressed Fia’s face and said.
Fia rolled her eyes at Eileen before fetching a wet towel from the bathroom to wipe her face.
“I am not interested in men nor women.”
“Wait, you’re not attracted to your husband?” Eileen squinted her eyes and asked, “Or perhaps you don’t have a husband?”
“If I don’t have a husband, how did I conceive the twins?”
“Well, you could have gotten someone to donate sperm via the fertility clinics!” Eileen’s eyes lit up even brighter as she saw the slight panic in Sia’s eyes. This was an indication that she was lying and hiding something.
“If you’re going to keep on talking nonsense, the door is right there,” Fia said coldly.
“Oh, come on! You’re such a kill-joy! Please don’t get mad. I was just joking! You could’ve just played along and banter back with me.’
Eileen said with a friendly tone, trying to ease the tension.
Fia thought about how lonely Eileen must have been. She had money and fame but she had no one to spend her life with.
So, she said, “If you have so much time to spare, you should find a Mr. Right to be with. When you’re busy with your love life, you won’t have the time and energy to think about all these nonsense.”
“They’re not nonsense! I have always thought about finding someone to punish that piece of sh*t of a man for my friend!”
“Although you’re really influential, you’re still just an actress. How will an actress fight against a rich, powerful CEO?” Fia said coldly, “You should stop. If you don’t, you might attract his wrath, resulting in
you losing all of your projects and contracts. Not only that, you’ll have to pay a large sum of fine for breach of contract.”
“Oh my, you even know so much about our industry too!” Eileen held Fia’s hand and said excitedly, “Ms. Sia, if you’ve got the time, perhaps you could be my manager? I can pay you a high price!”
Fia pulled her hand out of Eileen’s grasp and rejected her. “I do not need the money.”
“Well, you’re able to purchase an asset here in Aurora Residences after all. So, of course you do not lack money. But don’t you think living like this day after day might get a little boring?”
“I have two kids to take care of. My life isn’t boring.”
“But they will eventually need to go to school, right? Your children look old enough to attend a kindergarten. When they go to school, you’ll have so much free time at home. It’ll get really boring then.”
Eileen’s eyes were glittering as she voiced her thoughts loudly.
Fia looked at her and smirked sarcastically. “So, to get rid of the boredom, I’ll have to get hired by you. And then be forced to do something I don’t want to do. Is that it?”
