Sarah’s blood boiled upon hearing him.Shaun’s heart had been hooked by Catherine. Then now, even her backup plan, Rodney was surrounding Freya all day.She really lived up to the title of Catherine’s best friend. She was just as annoying and cheap.“Rodney, I’m so annoyed.” Sarah sounded sad. “I used to have Yael with me, but now, she has also been transferred away.”“Hasn’t she been protecting you all these while?” Rodney’s voice suddenly exploded.“She’s just following Liona’s orders.” Sarah sighed bitterly. “The caretaker left too, saying that I have a temper. I really didn’t expect that I would end up in this situation.”“F*ck. Shaun is ridiculous.” Rodney did not expect Shaun to be so heartless. Even if he wanted to break up, did he have to be so impatient and transfer her personnel away? “Don’t think about it. I’ll come right away.”However, when he hung up the phone and turned around to leave, he saw Freya standing behind him. He did not know how long she had been there.
Freya shook her head. “I don’t want to go out. I’ve been eating out every day recently, and my stomach isn’t feeling well, so I want to eat in. You can cook for me.”“What?” Rodney thought he was deaf.“You don’t want to? If you don’t want to, then forget it. I thought we could take this meal to talk about it…”“I… I’ll do it. I’ll do it.”Rodney bit the bullet and chased after her.He never thought there would come a day where he had to listen to Freya’s whims.After going upstairs, Freya threw herself on the sofa. Then, she tore open the snacks on the table and started to eat. “Hurry up and cook. If it’s bad, then there’s no chance to talk. Also, don’t even think of asking someone for help. I’m the kind of person who likes sincerity.”Rodney opened the refrigerator with a grim face. There were many things inside, but they were only yogurt, milk, fruit, and cheese. There were no cooking ingredients. After searching for a long time, he found three steaks, sashimi, and some froze
Rodney gritted his teeth. “Do you have to be so surprised? Is it strange that I can cook?”“Yeah. In my eyes, you’re just a useless, pampered young master who doesn’t know how to do anything other than follow Sarah’s orders and do her bidding every day.” Freya nodded without hesitation.“...”He should have put some poison in the dish earlier to end it all.Freya cut a tiny piece of steak and tasted it. The taste was surprisingly… damn good. It was as authentic as the steak she had in Country F.The tempura tasted like it was from Japan, and even the sashimi was especially tender and fresh. Ahem, of course, this had to do with her good ingredients.“Did you really make this yourself?”She was curious. “You didn’t have your subordinates send it in from the kitchen window with a drone, right?”“No, I made it myself. I’ve liked to cook since I was young, okay?” Rodney really could not stand it.“This is really unexpected. Shaun’s cooking is a disaster, so I never thought he’d hav
“To you, I’m just an ordinary cosmetic chemist. But have you ever thought about how hard we work to climb up to where we are?“When all you young masters were out drinking and playing, we were still burning the midnight oil in the laboratory. When you went out to play ball and go fishing, we stayed at home hitting the books.”Freya’s eyes could not help but redden as she spoke.“Do you understand how desperate you made me when you shut me off back then? The incident with Thomas Neeson coincidentally happened at the same time as well, and I was egged on at the supermarket. I couldn’t find a job and couldn’t stay in the country, so I had to go overseas.“As a newcomer, I was looked down upon overseas. I didn’t even go back to my apartment every day. Out of 365 days a year, I spent 350 days in the lab and fainted several times.“There were two times I lay on the cold ground all night and woke up by myself to go to the hospital. I have thought of giving up, but I wanted to fight back
Sarah was furious.She never thought that Rodney, her backup plan, would one day have a meeting and forget her. In the past, she was always on his mind, and as long as she said the word, he would come as soon as possible no matter how busy or far away he was.Let alone stand her up in the evening because of Freya Lynch.However, she could not say that, so all she could do was pretend to be polite and generous. “It’s okay. How did the talk go with Freya?”“The talk was settled, but she asked for 10 percent of Osher Corporation’s shares,” Rodney said helplessly. “So I went back to the company to discuss it with the executives. Everyone thinks this plan is feasible. If we can tie Freya Lynch to Osher, it’s worth it.”“10 percent?” Sarah’s voice could not help but raise. “That’s daylight robbery, yet you guys are agreeing to it?”“There’s no choice. However, after our company packages the new products, I believe Osher’s market value will increase.”Sarah really wanted to call Rodney
“Bah, no way. I’m just lamenting. Sarah actually has a good life sometimes, but she doesn’t know how to cherish it. I’ll be frank. Rodney’s cooking is really good. His steak and tempura are absolutely delicious.” Freya’s mouth watered a little as she thought about it.“So, he’s not completely useless. There are very few men who can cook nowadays. Unlike Shaun…” Catherine’s expression was grim. “He only wants to eat my cooking all day long. I don’t want to win over a man with my cooking skills. I, too, want a man to cook for me one day.”“Wesley can.” Freya winked.Catherine fell silent all of a sudden. These days, Wesley had not been in contact with her at all because of her plan. She owed Wesley too much.Halfway through the meal, Shaun called. “I’m done with dinner. Where are you?”Catherine looked at the time. It was only 7:00 p.m. “So early?”“Yeah. I just had dinner with those bosses and left. I told Hadley to take them out for some fun.”“I’m out eating with Freya. You can
In no time, they were pinned down on the beds by the four men.“Boss, this one is Freya Lynch.” One of the men pulled out a photo and pointed at Freya.“Yep, take her away.” The man with the thick gold chains waved his hands before he stared at Catherine. “You guys go. I’ll stay here and have some fun.”“Bro, I want to have fun too.” The younger man on the side licked his lips as he stared at Freya. “He didn’t say we couldn’t touch her.”“Fine.”“B*stards.” Catherine and Freya went mad seeing the men pouncing on them and pulling their clothes.At that moment, the door was kicked in.Shaun barged in. When he saw Catherine’s half-ripped clothes, his eyes instantly turned cold and red. “How dare you touch her.”“Who… Who are you?” The four hoodlums were shocked by his intimidating aura.“I’m the person who’s going to kill you tonight.” Shaun immediately beat them down and even broke their legs.After the beating, he quickly took off his clothes to wrap them around Catherine. Whe
Inexplicably amused, Catherine said to Shaun, “You don’t have to be like that. I’m not that petty.”Shaun glared at her. “I can’t stand touching other women except you.”Catherine’s face flushed, and her heart unexpectedly skipped a beat.Although the miserable Freya did not see their expressions, she suddenly felt like she had just witnessed them showing public affection. She felt depressed. Catherine was clearly holding the script of a revenge plot, but as a bystander, why did she feel like they were in an idol drama?After opening the car door, Freya was thrown mercilessly onto the back seat. However, Catherine was carefully placed onto the passenger seat with her seatbelt fastened. Along the way, Shaun called Hadley. “Bring some people to me and seal up the beauty salon. Call the cops and reporters. I have a scandalous scoop for them. I want Eric Hatch from SE Group to be ruined within one day. Make sure no one involved with the beauty salon today gets away.”“Understood.”
