She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 1113:

The rest of the afternoon passed quickly.

Freya had started out pretending to be busy, but somewhere along the way, she ended up finishing every single document Melvin had left with her. By the time she looked up, the clock had already slipped past 6 p.m.

Ellis casually suggested they grab dinner, and Alan quickly jumped at the chance to bow out with a flimsy excuse. He had no real reason to stick around—he figured he’d catch up with Freya later that night.

Once he was gone, the room was left with just Freya and Ellis.

Freya felt a strange tightness in her chest, but she masked it with a steady tone as she asked, “You didn’t have any projects lined up here, did you? What brought you to this city?”

“I didn’t before. Now I do,” Ellis answered without hesitation. Lambert Group had picked up a new deal recently. “If I hadn’t bumped into Alan, I wouldn’t have known you were here.”

Freya shifted gears. “Let’s go eat.”

“Alright,” Ellis agreed without objection.
