Chapter 248 Are You Trying To Replace Me

"I won't," Freya said smoothly, her voice calm as ever.

Ellis shot her a few sidelong glances, clearly suspicious, before finally starting the car and pulling out behind her. He wasn't fooled-he knew damn well Freya was hiding something from him.

The rest of the day passed uneventfully. The four of them had dinner, lounged around for a bit, and then went their separate ways.

Normally, an evening like that would've involved a few drinks, but Ellis abstained.

He knew Freya was a lightweight when it came to alcohol, and if she ended up drunk, he wouldn't be able to stop himself from poking around for answers.

That wasn't the way he wanted to find out about her secrets.

After nine that night, Freya and Ellis returned together. Before leaving, she grabbed her laptop..

When they arrived, Freya was just about to unlock her front door when she remembered to bring up the contract with Ellis. "Captain, when you wake up tomorrow, just go straight to Anita International. I'll have

Melvin handle it all for you."

"Alright," Ellis said with a nod.

Freya grunted her acknowledgment, opened her door, and stepped inside.

But instead of heading straight to bed, she went to her study, still restless from the day's chaos.

She flipped open her personal laptop and quickly typed up a summary of what had happened at Ashley's place, circling a bold letter K on the screen.

The fact that someone had instantly recognized Ashley's phone had been tampered with by her meant only one thing-they knew her style.

Not even Frederick would have figured that out. Only her apprentice could've guessed.

Once Freya had gathered her thoughts, her fingers moved swiftly across the keyboard, pulling up an encrypted

chat window.

She typed, "It's you, right, Natasha?"

Halfway across the world, a stunning woman with long flowing hair raised one perfectly arched brow at the message. She picked up her laptop and strolled outside, calling over to the man reclining on the sofa with a wine glass in hand. "She messaged me."

"Who?" he asked without moving.

That made him pause.

Natasha passed him the laptop and explained, "This is how we communicate. Our own way."
