Chapter 593:
Josiah didn’t give anything away, either.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Ellis sent a message to Josiah, letting him know someone would cby tomorrow
to pick up his car.
“Freya,” he said, turning his head once the message was sent.
Freya kept her eyes on the road. “Hmm?”
“That job | mentioned earlier. Have you thought about it?” Ellis absentmindedly toyed with his phone, his posture
relaxed, voice casual, almost lazy, as he turned to look at her.
Freya paused. “You weren't joking?”
“No.”
“You really want a job?”
NEE
“What kind?”
“Anything that putsin the soffice as you, or something connected to your work.” His voice was quiet, his
eyes flicking back to his phone as a message popped up.
It was from his father, Caldwell Lambert.

Caldwell asked, “Did you really retire from the army?”
Ellis quickly replied, “Yes.”
Freya still couldn't wrap her head around it. She didn’t understand why he wanted a job. “Why?”
“I've never worked outside the military,” Ellis answered sincerely, every word smooth and unshaken. “It's always
been training, missions, or teaching others.”

Freya gave it sthought. That checked out.
Life in the military was nothing like life outside of it.
Even though Ellis had plenty of skills, adjusting to civilian life wasn’t instant. Everyone needed a buffer at the
start.
“Cto my office the day after tomorrow. Ill get you a contract,” said Freya.
Ellis’s lips tugged upward in the faintest smile. He glanced over at her.
“You're serious?”
NEE
“Alright then,” Ellis agreed.
Just then, his phone lit up with

Ellis stared at the message, then replied without skipping a beat, “If you're not concerned about Mom's health,
go for it.”
That single line sent Caldwell into a
fury, and he blocked Ellis on thegRot.
He'd seg 5lls adh herve to stay

trying to win over my future wife.”
He hit send—only to realize it hadn't gone through. Caldwell had already blocked him.
