NovelUSAChapter 714:
Before she could figure out what was happening, Ellis picked up a hair dryer and started drying her hair.
Freya stiffened, caught off guard, wondering if he even realized just how intimate this gesture was.
“Captain.”
“Is it?” Ellis asked, his hand moving gently through her hair as he worked, though inside he felt strangely
nervous. It was his first tdoing anything like this, and he wasn’t sure if he'd tugged her hair or if the dryer
was too hot.
Freya took the hair dryer from him and switched it off.
The room fell into an immediate hush.
“I can do it myself, really,” she murmured, a trace of discomfort in her voice. “You should get ssleep. It's
been a long day for you, too.”
“Alright.” Ellis didn’t push it. “Callif anything comes up.”
Freya nodded. “Okay.”
He gave her one last glance to make sure she was alright before getting up to leave. Freya walked him to the

Once they were both back in their rooms, Freya shut the door behind her and quietly finished drying her hair
alone.
She had always thought that drying someone's hair was something reserved for loved ones—parents, siblings, or
a partner. Having Ellis do it just felt... strange.
Once her hair was dry, Freya lay down in bed.
Before sleeping, she checked her phone for missed messages and saw one from Melvin.
Her friend might be up to something with her?

Who?
She typed back without much thought, “Who do you mean?”
At that moment, Melvin was still at home, waiting for a response from Freya.
Ever since Ellis joined the office, Freya hadn’t needed Melvin to drive her around anymore. Many of the things he
used to do for her had quietly been taken over by Ellis.
That shift left Melvin feeling a little uneasy about his role.
So when he saw her message pop up, he quickly typed, “Ellis Lambert.” But right before hitting send, he
hesitated. Freya seemed to treat Ellis awfully well.
What if she liked him? Wouldn't he be handing over a confession on a silver platter?
For a moment, Melvin wavered, uncertain if he should go through with it.
Freya waited a while but got no reply. Figuring he’d fallen asleep, she set her phone down on the nightstand and
drifted off.
In the end, Melvin didn’t send the
message. He deciieg {8 waitritilthe
