Chapter 239
Chapter 239 Like A Completely Different...
 
Freya listened to Trent's words, and found them reasonable enough. "Alright."
 
Once the call ended, she made her way to the study to draft up the special employment contract for Ellis, while Trent picked up his phone and started dialing.
 
It was hard to say who Freya would end up with in the end-Kristian or Ellis.
 
Even though she trusted Ellis completely and never had her guard up around him, there wasn't a shred of
 
romance between them.
 
As for Kristian-Trent, for one, sincerely hoped she wouldn't get entangled with
 
him again.
 
Whatever affection or trust she'd once had for Kristian had been shattered by his actions.
 
Once her heart had been broken, it was nearly impossible to piece it back together.
 
Just as these thoughts crossed Trent's mind, the call connected, and Ellis's voice came through, low and steady.
 
"Hello, Trent."
 
"You really don't waste time."
 
"Last time, I held back for too many reasons and let her slip through my fingers. I'm not making that mistake again." When Ellis spoke with Trent, his tone was relaxed, his deep voice smooth and composed.
 
Trent asked, "So, you've made up your
 
mind?"
 
"I have," Ellis replied, calm as ever.
 
"If you need anything, just say the word." Trent adjusted his glasses, his voice steady. "Frederick and I are ready to back you up whenever."
 
That was exactly the kind of assurance Ellis needed. "If she ever asks about my job, make it sound awful. The worse, the better. I'd rather not be sent elsewhere."
 
Knowing Freya, if Ellis spent even a month working by her side, she'd figure out his true capabilities.
 
If she kept him close, that'd be fine-but if she reassigned him, all of it would've been pointless.
 
"Got it," Trent replied, sharp as always.
 
The call ended.
 
Ellis headed off for a shower and changed into his pajamas.
 
Trent, phone still in hand, fell into a thoughtful silence, letting out a quiet sigh over Ellis's bumpy road to love.
