MainNovelChapter 603:
“No worries.” Ellis’s gaze flicked over to Freya, who'd been calm and collected since stepping in. “I'm your
sister's friend. Just callEllis.”
He'd heard Ethel’s voice when he got out of the car. The resemblance to Freya, combined with their familiarity,
made it clear.
Ethel’s eyes practically gleamed with gossip.
Friend! That meant there was a chance—sreal romantic tension between him and Freya!
“Alright, Ellis!” Ethel beamed at him.
Ellis gave a polite nod.
Ethel was more determined than ever to play matchmaker!
Compared to Kristian, Ellis seemed way more easygoing. He hadn’t said much, but he already gave off an

Before she could interject, Ellis answered, “Yeah.”
“My sister's not exactly a whiz in the kitchen.” Ethel glanced at the elevator display and realized it was stopping
on the sfloor as Freya's. “If you're cooking sometime, would you invite her over? I'll even cover the cost of

they got inside. She didn’t believe they were just friends.

Freya shot her a look, clearly thinking Ethel was being way too bold today. “Ethel Briggs.”
“Alright, alright, | get it.” Ethel stuck out her tongue and offered a quick apology.
“It’s just a few meals. No need to make a fuss about them.” Ellis broke the silence with a voice as smooth as
ever. “Or do you think I'm so strapped for cash | can’t even spring for dinner?”
“Captain...” Freya once again found herself contemplating an immediate getaway.
And in that moment, she finally understood why her friends had insisted she leave town. Ellis had a knack for
putting her under relentless mental strain.
The elevator chimed.
Freya felt the air shift subtly as she stepped out, with Ethel closely on her heels. Ellis, suitcase in hand, followed
behind, his eyes trailing her retreating figure with the faintest flicker of amusement—gone as quickly as it had
appeared.
