Chapter 284 Did Mina Do Something To Tick You Off

Freya let out a soft hum, not bothering with pleasantries. “How's Ellis been doing at the office?"

"Pretty well," Melvin answered without embellishment.

Freya raised an eyebrow, mildly surprised. It was rare to get even that much out of Melvin.

"What would you say he's best at?"

At the question, Melvin shot Freya a couple of glances, as if weighing his words, clearly hesitant to speak his

mind.

Freya remained poised, picking up on his silence. "What is it?"

"He's got real potential for leadership," Melvin finally said, after a beat of thought. "Everything I've handed him, he's nailed. The guy's sharp, has an eye for strategy, and consistently turns in flawless work."

"I see," Freya murmured.

So Ellis really was capable. He'd even adjusted to society with surprising ease.

Melvin waited patiently, giving her time, never one to rush.

"Let him take charge of a few subsidiary companies' business on his own," Freya instructed. "If he does a good job, we'll consider offering him a formal post in management at one of them."

"Alright," Melvin replied.

Freya kept things straightforward. She figured Ellis would prefer something closer to home-make life a little

smoother for him.

Once a suitable position came up nearby, she'd arrange the transfer. That way, whatever plans he had would be

easier to manage.

With that settled, she returned to her own work.

The day went by in a blur.

Remembering her promise to her friends, Freya didn't stay late. When the time came, she left the office with

Ellis.

As fate would have it, Melvin caught the scene. He stood there, watching as Ellis got into Freya's car, the two of them driving off together.
