Stop It She's Remarrying by Stellar Strands

Chapter 596

“Why not? You are about the same age. And you seem to be so alike.” Barbara did not understand why Fia said this.

Fia could not help but think that Barbara, although being quite capable in her career, was a little slow in catching social cues and contexts.

Thus, Fia decided to tell her frankly. “She and I do not see eye to eye. It’s not possible for us to be friends.”

From the moment Britney applied that peach blossom hand moisturizer on her, Fia had a feeling that this friendship was never going to work. From that moment, Fia already felt that something was off about this Britney girl. Then, when she could finally see again, the moment she saw Britney, that hunch that something was fishy about her became even stronger.

It was weird indeed, for Britney seemed to be a really kind and gentle young lady. Yet, her hunch was telling her that something was definitely not right.

“Was it because of Annie?” Barbara was a little upset upon hearing this. “It was Annie who had fallen for Mr. Maxwell, not our little Britney! Mrs. Maxwell, you can’t pin this on Britney just because they know each other!”

Fia stared at Barbara speechlessly. The conversation was going nowhere and, hilariously, it felt as though Barbara thought she had cheated on Britney or something.

Conrad, on the other hand, could not bear to see this go on any longer. He summoned Silas, who was in a meeting, and sent Barbara back to the Foreign Affairs Department.
