"Look at you. I just meant that wouldn't it be good if you could be a Secretary like Cameron? I'm not saying that I want to marry him. Why are you so uptight?" Maria nudged him and continued, "Besides, with Cameron’s dull temperament, only your sister can stand him. I could never!"
She couldn't afford to offend her husband. After all, she still wanted to live a life where she didn't have to worry about having a roof over her head. Therefore, she quickly tried to coax him.
Upon hearing this, Fabian's face lifted. "That's true. He's too uptight. To be honest, he's like a thorn in my flesh. I doubt he could climb to where he is now without that temperament of his!"
After muttering a few words, he continued to drink his wine. Then he thought of something and turned his head to look at her. "By the way, have you figured out what kind of miracle doctor you've been seeing yet?"
"Don't even talk about that. I didn't see him because your niece refused to see him. If you ask me, I think Mrs. Russell must have brainwashed her." Right now, she loathed Lily.
Who knew what she had fed Anastasia for her to follow Lily's advice blindly?
Maria had tried for years to teach Anastasia what she knew, but it had never worked. She was an ungrateful brat!
"Mrs. Russell…" Fabian repeated after Maria and suddenly grinned.
Seeing his weird smile, she asked strangely, "Why do you have a weird smile on your face?"
She initially wanted to say that he looked like a fool, but she was afraid she would offend him again.
"Hehehe…" After chuckling several times, he cleared his throat and answered, "Do you know who's my biggest competitor for the project I'm bidding on?"
