After all, Ellis was her captain, and the last person who tried lying to him—Cade Blake—had ended up with extra
drills.
“I'll go change,” Freya muttered.
“Alright.”
She returned shortly after, dressed far more casually.
She'd picked the outfit strategically—if Ellis did make her do jumping jacks or any other punishment, this would

from entertainment and relaxation to sports—tennis courts, golf courses, and more.
Freya, along with Ellis, followed the staff's guidance to the tennis court where the others waited.
