Freya paid no attention to the gossip of those people, but Ayden’s expression turned serious as he
glanced
around.
The people nearby instantly fell silent.
As they entered the private elevator, Freya teased with a smile. “Ayden, you have quite an intimidating
presence.
Embarrassed, Ayden scratched his head awkwardly.
Soon, the two arrived at the president’s office on the top floor.
The news of Braxton’s injury had already reached the high-level executives. The Kaufmann family had
not intention of hiding the news, as keeping it a secret would only lead to baseless speculations.
The high-level executives of the Kaufmann Group knew that Freya was only here for a short while, so
there would not be any major disturbances.
Braxton had only been injured for two days, and the company had not accumulated much work. With
Ayden’s help. Freya finished all the work in the morning.
In the afternoon, Freya sat in front of the desk in the president’s office and used Braxton’s computer to
access the surveillance network of the Kaufmann Residence.
The surveillance network system of the Kaufmann Residence was independent. Freya extracted the
footage from the previous night and selected the camera outside the villa that was directed at her
room’s window. Then, she played it eight times faster.
After that, she paused the footage when she was almost home last night.
With a frown, she saw a frame in which her closed window suddenly became open.
After that, everything appeared normal.
The surveillance had obviously been covered up.
It seemed that the person who sneaked into her bedroom was not just some petty thief.
A coldness crept into Freya’s eyes. Her bottom line had always been her family, and no one should
ever challenge it.
However, who would target the Kaufmann family? What was their goal?
After thinking for a while to no avail, Freya quickly typed on the keyboard. Since the person was lurking
in the shadows, she had to reinforce the security system of the Kaufmann Residence.
With that, she added several layers of protection to the surveillance network before making a phone
call to a friend.
All the security personnel was outsourced to a security company owned by her friend. Since someone
could sneak into her residence quietly, all the current security personnel needed to be replaced with a
new batch.
After she had finished everything, it was already 3 p.m.
Freya sent a message to Edward, asking him to be her male companion.

At that, Edward readily agreed as he asked, ‘Frea, do I need to prepare anything?”

“No need. The banquet is on the 20th. Let me know which day works for you in the next few days, so I
can take you to buy a new suit, she replied with another message.
Tm free every day,’ he replied..
Seeing that, Freya smiled. ‘Alright. I’ll come to pick you up at your uni later.
Since the company had nothing important to attend to today, she reviewed some recent cooperation
materials before leaving.
Ayden offered to drive her, but she refused. “Although there isn’t much going on in the company right
now, you should still keep an eye. Call me if there’s anything.”
With that, she took the car keys from him and drove to Evergreen University.
When she arrived, she found that Edward had been waiting for her at the school gate.
Despite wearing a simple checked shirt, Edward exuded a sense of high-end fashion that
complemented his slender figure and handsome face.
“Frea.” When Edward saw her, the coldness on his body dissipated, and his eyes seemed to sparkle.
“Come in.”
After he got into the car, he stared at her eagerly. Freya chuckled. “What’s wrong? Do I have something
on my face?”
“N-No.”
The car drove to the commercial street in Caltun, and the two went into a shopping mall together.
After browsing a few men’s clothing stores, they had picked out most of his outfits, and all he needed
now
was a tie.
As the salesperson went to pack up the clothes, Freya saw a tie on a glass counter next to them.
Unlike the other ties on display in the showcase, this tie was placed separately in a glass cabinet.
“What do you think of this one? The color is nice, not too rigid or too old-fashioned.” Freya held the tie
up to Edward’s chest.
Edward’s Adam’s apple moved slightly as he replied, “I trust your judgment.”
“Do you know how to tie a tie?” Freya asked as she looked up at him.
“No, I don’t know.”
She smiled. “I’ll teach you. Just watch closely.”
Freya was too preoccupied with tying the tie for him that she didn’t notice the two of them were getting
closer.
Edward lowered his head and watched her hand.

The scent of her hair lingered in his nose, and he was so nervous that he unconsciously tightened his
grip.
After finishing tying the tie, she said. “Just push it up a bit, and now it’s done.”
“I see,” he whispered.
With that, she patted his arm. “You’re good to go. Just wear this outfit when the time comes.”
Just as Freya finished speaking, she felt that something was off.
Turning around, she saw a man being escorted by staff.
The tall man was dressed in a black pinstripe suit, exuding an air of elegance and aloofness.
Freya’s eyes twitched.
Oh great, it’s Radley again! He seems to be everywhere!
Edward also saw him and was immediately nervous.
He had met Radley once at the club before and later learned about his identity from the news.
Therefore, he knew that Radley was Freya’s ex-husband, a terrible sc*mbag who had mistreated her.
At the same time, he was also the head of the Monaghan family and the powerful president of the
Monaghan Group.
Radley also caught sight of Freya. His eyes deepened as he shifted his focus from Freya to Edward
who was standing next to her.
As Freya and Edward were standing so close to each other, the atmosphere between them was
somewhat ambiguous.
Radley’s face turned cold.
In the tense atmosphere, Freya and Radley remained silent.
The salesperson broke the awkward silence and said, “Miss Kaufmann, this tie has been reserved by
Mr. Monaghan.”
Freya frowned. That was why the tie wasn’t on display, but was placed in the VIP room’s glass cabinet.
Standing next to her, Edward had already decided to take it off as he didn’t want to wear anything that
belonged to a sc*mbag.
However, he had just learned how to tie a tie. Therefore, when he tried to untie it, his actions were so
vigorous that the tie was pulled out into a knot.
Seeing the wrinkles on the tie, Freya proposed, “Mr. Monaghan, would you mind giving me this tie?”
Radley’s eyes turned cold, emanating a sense of oppression. “Yes, I do mind.”
His response was firm and decisive.
Since the tie had already been reserved, she had no reason to insist on taking it by force. Then, she
turned around and walked to Edward. “Easy. Let me do it for you,” she said gently.
Her delicate fingers quickly unfastened the knot on the tie.
After that, she handed the tie to Radley and apologized, “Sorry, I didn’t know that it was reserved.”
Her tone was polite but carried a distant coldness.
Radley felt complicated in his heart. When he saw Freya helping Edward untie the tie, he felt a strange
anger rising within him.
At this moment, he couldn’t help but think of the incense at home and the sleepwear that had already
turned yellowish at the collar.
How could someone change so drastically in such a short time just because of amnesia?
Although the current Freya, who was dressed in a fitted black suit, appeared capable and courteous,
she actually seemed distant.
Was she his ex-wife who never spoke loudly and was always obedient?
Seeing that Radley didn’t respond to take the tie, Freya raised her eyebrow slightly as she coldly
Follow current on NovelEnglish.netrepeated, “Mr. Monaghan?”
Radley glanced at the tie in her hand but still didn’t reach for it.
“I won’t use something that other people have worn,” he replied.
“So, do you want me to have it or not?” Freya was getting annoyed.
“No.” With that, he took the tie from her hand and threw it in the trash bin. “Even if I don’t want it
anymore, I won’t give it to anyone else.”
What a crazy person he is!
Taking a deep breath, Freya tried to control her anger.
“Edward, let’s go.”
Edward immediately responded and obediently followed Freya as they walked out.
With a gloomy expression, Radley stared at their departing figures.
He was aware that Edward was now Freya’s assistant, but his gaze on her just now was so intense
and focused.
It made Radley inexplicably annoyed.
The salesperson stood by Radley’s side, cautiously calling out, “Mr. Monaghan?”

As they left the men’s clothing store, Freya looked angry.
Noticing her bad mood, Edward walked by her side and asked, “Frea, I can buy the tie myself. Shall we
go back for now?”
If they continued to stay in the mall, they might run into that sc*mbag again, which would ruin Freya’s
mood.
She nodded and drove Edward back home.
For the next few days, Freya spent her mornings dealing with business matters at the Kaufmann Group
and returned home in the afternoons.
She had to reorganize the security affairs of the Kaufmann Residence.
Before hiring the new batch of security personnel, she had to check through each of them and confirm
that they were not suspicious.
In the evenings, she would visit her brother and reply to some of the comments from her fans urging
her to upload new videos.
Amidst her busy schedule, rumors about her began to circulate within the Kaufmann Group.
“Oh, the young lady is such a delicate flower. She can’t even handle the pressure and leaves early
every day.”
“You’re right. When Mr. Kaufmann was around, he used to stay late in the company.”
“Hey, she’s just a fill-in for the position. Are you really counting on her to manage the company?”
Despite all the rumors, the 20th soon arrived.
The appointment of Matthew as the president of the Hood Group was a big event in Caltun.
All the companies in the city and even across the country that had cooperated with the Hood Group
would be sending representatives to attend the banquet.
Freya was busy at the company until noon and then went home to freshen up. This was an important
formal banquet, so she carefully put on makeup and changed into a sea-blue gown.
The gown had a mermaid hem design with a layer of chiffon ruffles in varying shades of blue. As she
