“Dani, stop it.” Ryan promptly placed Dani in the cradle.Freya was disappointed to see that Dani ignored her. “That kid doesn’t miss me at all.”“Don’t worry. She misses you too. When I carried her into your room at night, she’d look around, probably looking for you.” Ryan asked with a grin, “How are you adapting to life in the country of romance? Have you met a lot of handsome men there? Is anyone pursuing you?”“Yeah. Do those experienced professors in their 70s in the lab count?” Freya raised her brows playfully.“That can’t be. With your good looks, no man has flirted with you?” Ryan asked jokingly.“Yeah. No one has flirted with me on my rare trip overseas. It’s quite disappointing. I can't believe I'm so unattractive,” Freya said despondently.“Great. I’m taking care of your child at home while you think about fooling around there.” Ryan snorted, and his face darkened.“You were the one who asked.” Freya chuckled. “I’m kidding. This lab is very far from the city. It’s n
Freya’s heart softened at the sight of Ryan’s pitiful look. She quickly coaxed him, saying, “Don’t worry. I don’t like foreign men.”“Who do you like then?” Ryan stared at her intently.Freya’s face turned red. “Enough. Don’t you know who I like?”Ryan said, “Uh-huh. I’m not sure.”“I’m going to ignore you.”Then, she hung up. However, she hesitated for a few seconds and sent a message coyly. [I love you the most.]After she sent the message, her heart began to race.It was her first time sending him such a straightforward message since they got into a relationship.She covered her burning face and took a deep breath before returning to her seat.“Frey, Tessa said you have a child,” Sidney Cann from the research institute said. He took a bottle of beer and walked over with the collar of his black shirt unbuttoned. The unrestrained and dashing nature of a foreign’s man was apparent in his movements.“Yup.” Freya was momentarily stunned, but she nodded honestly. However, she di
“Frey, since you’re out, stop looking at your phone all the time. Come on, cheers.”A female colleague was outspoken enough to share some interesting stories that had taken place at the research institute.Freya put down her phone and immersed herself in the atmosphere with the intention of learning more things.Everyone chatted until 10:00 p.m. before they went back to their hostel.Freya had drunk five to six bottles of beer, so she was quite drunk.When she answered the video call from Ryan, she was still a little tipsy. “I’m sorry. I was too immersed in the conversation with my colleagues tonight, and I drank quite a lot. Is Dani asleep?” “Yes, she is.”Ryan stared at the woman on his phone. Her enchanting, long hair was spread on the bed, and her face was red from drinking. How beautiful! Moreover, her pretty, big eyes were blurry from the alcohol. That charming look of her could make any man step out of line.His handsome face darkened, and his tone was cold. “So you do
Stunned, Freya stared at the words, which were filled with Ryan’s concern for her.She seemed to be enlightened.Indeed, the group of colleagues from the research institute with whom she always hung out were all below 40 years old. They might not know more than her. Even if they were willing to share their knowledge with her, how much could she learn from them?Rather than spending so much time drinking and chatting with them, she might as well dedicate her time to research and networking with those experienced professors more often. What those professors say would be more powerful than all that Sidney and her other colleagues said.When she recalled blurting out about hating Ryan, she suddenly regretted it all.Why did she make such hurtful remarks?She even thought about breaking up with Ryan.She had gone too far.Ryan was right. She had not known her colleagues for a long time. After learning that she was married, Sidney even suggested having a fling with her. Who knows i
Ryan rubbed his temples. Luckily, he flew into a temper last night and gave her a timely warning. Otherwise, he would be concerned about a pretty woman like her in a foreign country.“Okay, I will.”After Freya finished speaking, she pursed her soft lips together. Before she could tell him something, her face had turned red. “Ryan, I…”“Yes? What’s the matter?” Ryan asked with a soft voice.“Nothing. I’m going to work. Goodbye.”“Alright. Go on.”In less than two minutes after Ryan put down his phone, he received a message from Freya. [I love you. This is what I wanted to say just now.]His eyes narrowed, and he took a deep breath before he replied, [You seductive vixen. If not for Dani, I would’ve taken a flight there, pulled you to bed, and made out with you.]Freya: [You terrible pervert. I’m serious. I’m going to ignore you.]Ryan: [I’m serious too. I miss you. I miss you so much that it hurts down there.]Freya, who was far away in a laboratory in Country F, almost blush
Country F was not far from Country R.Soon after Rodney checked in the hotel, his secretary handed him the schedule with a series of events. “Professor Abner has promised to meet us at 3:00 p.m.”“That’s good.”Rodney nodded. “Get the relevant documents ready. At night, we’re going to meet up with the CEO of Sara. We must secure Sara’s agency agreement during our trip to Country R this time.” His secretary said, “The CEO of Sara said something came up…”Rodney stopped in his tracks and looked at the secretary with his grim eyes. “Wasn’t everything agreed on earlier?”“I have no idea why the other party changed his mind at the last minute.” Rodney’s stare made the secretary’s scalp go numb. “You trash. Why are you still standing here? Go and investigate it now,” Rodney scolded him with a morose expression.“I’m sorry. I’ll do it right now.” The secretary swiftly left with an ashen face.Irritated, Rodney kicked the stool in front of him, his arms akimbo. He could not express
“Are you serious?”Rodney’s heart skipped a beat. Despite having experienced all kinds of business hardships, he could not help but express a grim look on his handsome face.“The medical aesthetic industry in Country R isn’t big. I’ve worked with Sara before, so I learned this piece of news first-hand.”Abner decided not to beat around the bush. He said frankly, “President Snow, if you had come to me with this pay two years ago, I surely would’ve worked with you. Indeed, Osher used to be the largest local brand in Australia with the best facilities and equipment. However, now that I’ve acquired this status, reputation is more important than remuneration. If I work with you and the products I develop do not sell well, it’ll tarnish my image. I can provide you with excellent products, but you might not be able to provide me with the best platform.”Rodney soon pulled himself together. “Professor Abner, any entrepreneur will have their highs and lows. Freycatheli has only been set up
Coincidentally, Rodney’s secretary phoned him at this time. “Oh no, Young Master Snow. I heard that Sara has already…”“I know. You don’t need to explain it. Go and find out where Freycatheli’s representative is staying.”“...Okay.”After leaving the cafe, Rodney kicked the tire of his car.Having lived for over 30 years, he felt that his life was getting more miserable. Just a few months ago, he had never ever thought that Freycatheli would be Osher’s strongest competitor.Hah. What did Freya say before this? She wanted to focus on cosmetics, so he strived to advertise Freycatheli for her.In the end, not only was she involved in cosmetics but also skincare products, shampoo, and conditioners. Freycatheli ventured into all the fields Osher was involved in.At this point, he understood what it meant to shoot himself in the foot.‘Freya, you’re vicious. You’re f*cking vicious.‘Are you trying to take revenge on me?‘Are you taking revenge on me for letting you down?’On the b
