But that was his business, and Freya had no intention of wasting thought on it.
Once they left the base, Freya and Ellis went for lunch before heading over to Anita International headquarters.
In the elevator on the way up, Ellis tried to put her at ease. “From the way Lawrence was talking, he seems
pretty confident about Kristian’s treatment. You really don’t need to stress.”
“I know,” Freya replied softly.
When the elevator doors slid open, they stepped out together. Freya made her way to her office, while Ellis
veered off to his own as the special assistant.
The sight didn’t go unnoticed by the secretarial staff—or by Melvin, who happened to be coordinating with them
at the time.
Ever since Ellis had joined the company, the gossip mill had been churning non-stop. Now, seeing Freya and the

The second Melvin walked away, the gossip picked up again—this time, with him and Freya as the subject.
Melvin tuned it out. When he saw Freya return, he headed straight over, arms full of documents and contracts
needing her signature, and updated her on the latest project statuses while she signed.
When it cto his job, Melvin never cut corners.
To him, Anita International Group wasn’t just a company—it held a deeper meaning. He poured himself into every
detail, driven by a quiet hope that his dedication would usher in lasting success for both the business and its
owner.
In just thirty minutes, he'd delivered a clean, comprehensive report that left nothing out.
