NovelOnlineLeah had been rescued from the depths of despair and given a new life and hope by her employer, Freya.
Freya swept her gaze through the buildings before her and replied, “That’s good. Although your mother’s illness is rather tricky,
her lifespan won’t be much different from an ordinary person’s as long as she takes. good care of herself. There’s still hope as
long as there’s breath in her lungs. Plus, I believe that with the advancements in medicine, there will be a cure for her sooner or
later.”
Leah nodded with a grin. “Don’t worry about me. I’m doing well now. Mr. Monaghan even arranged for the Finance Department to
provide single dormitories for the employees of Wonder Aroma. Both of you have been so kind to me, and I will definitely do
everything in my power to repay you.”
Freya smiled happily. “We treat you well because you are worth the treatment. You’re capable and have the attitude to match.
Don’t you forget what you’re worth.
Then, she pointed at a few potential locations. “This place is nice but a bit far from your dormitories. Meanwhile, this building’s
environment is subpar at best. Although it’s convenient as it’s close to the city center, it can get noisy.”
“Finally... Let’s see. This one is good. A peaceful location amidst the hustle and bustle.”
Leah took a closer look. “I agree, but it looks kind of rustic. If I’m not mistaken, this is one of the older buildings, too.”
Freya had chosen a mansion, which had a completely different feel from their modern office space.
She propped her chin up and smiled in the face of Leah’s dubious expression. “What’s wrong with that? Wonder Aroma is going
for a high-quality route. We can sun-dry some materials in the front yard, and the skylights in this house are also large. Bathing
in sunlight and smelling the perfume is also a kind of enjoyment.”
Leah nodded in agreement. “Alright, let’s go with this one. I’ll inform the intelligence and finance department of your decision.”
Freya nodded in satisfaction.
Once she had gone through her workload for Wonder Aroma, she went up to the top floor before lunch.
Then, she approached Radley’s office and lightly knocked on the door.
Radley’s cold and distant voice came from inside the room. “Enter.”
She quietly opened the door and saw Radley sitting at his desk, looking at the computer.
Since he didn’t know it was her, his attitude was aloof and indifferent.
So, she chuckled softly before saying, “Mr. Monaghan.”
it was her. Then, he leaned against his leather chair, and his cold aura dissipated. with this slight movement.
“Come over.” He gestured with his hand.
She wasted no time obeying as she inquired, “What are you looking at so intently?”
“Are you watching the recording of my livestream from yesterday?”
“Yes,” Radley’s eyes darkened slightly. “Jamie Fraser has made an appearance. Why didn’t you tell me?” She pursed her lips
before quietly retorting, “I’ve given the live recording to Inken for investigation.” Alas, he wasn’t about to let her off the hook so
easily as he turned to look at her and pulled her into his arms. “What about me?”
She couldn’t help but feel a little guilty and glanced around nervously. “I thought he wouldn’t pose much of a threat because of
the Black Hawk incident... So, I didn’t tell you.”
He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze dangerous. “Oh? Not much of a threat?”
She chuckled awkwardly as she rushed to salvage the situation. “I was planning on telling you if Inken fails to find anything from
his investigation.”
However, if she was being honest with herself, she didn’t want everyone to worry and go through all this unnecessary trouble
because of her.
He stared at her for a few seconds before sighing helplessly. “Fine. Just promise me you’ll tell me about staff like this next time. I
don’t want you to suddenly disappear one day.”
That feeling was even more unbearable than death.
“Understood.” She straightened up. “This morning, I received a message from Inken. Jamie’s account was created using
someone else’s identification, and the login IP address has been hidden.”.
He nodded. “I see. Considering his temperament, we should have expected him to have come prepared since he dared to make
an appearance in your live stream.
She mulled it over before saying, “The Green Flamation forum will be hosting a gathering tomorrow. I’ll take you with me so we
can discuss this matter with everyone.”
His lips curled into a meaningful smile as he remarked. “Oh? So, now you’re willing to let me go?”
“Yes.” Freya’s eyes flickered as she looked away, not daring to look at the expression on his face.
Sure, he had long known about Inken, Brişa, Landon, and her other identities.
However, none of the four had voluntarily revealed themselves as members of The Green Flamation forum’s management staff.
“Green Scylla?” He held her and buried his face in the crook of her neck. “I was so mean to you. Why didn’t the people from The
Freya clenched her teeth as she spat, “I couldn’t bear it!”
“Frey.” He looked up at her. “Thank you.”
“Thank you for what?” She scrutinized him.
His eyes were filled with genuine fondness, making his handsome face even more captivating.
Fortunately, she hadn’t completely given up on him. Otherwise, his remaining years might have been spent in abject loneliness.
Freya felt her lips curl into an indulging smile. “You fought for the chance yourself.”
Several life-and-death situations had gradually bridged the gap between them.
The future was still long and filled with mysteries. Perhaps after such hazardous experiences, the love that had started to bloom
between them would be one that would last a lifetime.
Soon, it was time for lunch.
Connor brought in the lunch that Radley had ordered for the two of them. So, Freya ended up loitering in the office, lounging on
the sofa as she played with her phone. She would occasionally raise her head and watch as Radley handled his day-to-day
business affairs.
Alas, her focus wavered as the afternoon sun made people increasingly drowsy.
By the time Radley was done discussing the funding for Wonder Aroma with the finance department after two hours, he had
raised his head to look at the figure of his desires, only to find her deeply asleep on the sofa.
She had slightly curled into herself during her slumber, with her lips slightly parted due to her uncomfortable sleeping position.
She made for a quiet and adorable sight indeed.
Still, when he noticed her slight discomfort, he rose to his feet, walked to the sofa, gently picked her up. and took her to the
adjacent resting room.
The resting room was designed according to his preference, with black, white, and gray as the main. shades.
Finally, he gently placed her on the bed, removed her shoes, and covered her with a blanket.
Unfortunately, his tentative actions still roused the slumbering Freya.
She opened her eyes, squinting against the sunlight as her long eyelashes fluttered a few times.
“Did I fall asleep?”
“Go back to sleep,” Radley whispered, picking up the remote control and closing the curtains.
The room dimmed, causing her to curl her lips in satisfaction. Then, good afternoon, Mr. Monaghan.”
He lowered his head and lightly kissed her lips. “I’ll head back to work.”
“Okay.”
She slept in his resting room way past 4 p.m. Still, she had an ingrained habit of checking her phone after sleep. So, she rolled
over and checked the time on her phone on the bedside table.
It was already 4:30 p.m. Office hours were about to be over soon enough.
