An absent-minded staff member stood at the door, holding a stack of documents. His sudden intrusion interrupted Freya’s speech. Realizing that he appeared too suddenly, he quickly lowered his head and walked along the wall. He was here to deliver the documents. It was difficult to open the door with his hands full. So he used his elbow to push it, but unexpectedly, the door swung wide open. It made him feel embarrassed.
The little incident quickly passed. Freya was not affected by it and continued her speech.
In the corner, Elijah sat in an inconspicuous spot. Through countless figures, he fixed his gaze on Freya. When she spoke, she seemed to radiate a certain light. That confidence in her familiar field made her exude a charming radiance. Unconsciously, a faint smile appeared on Elijah’s lips. In his heart, he appreciated the current moment with Freya. She wasn’t an innocent little girl. Elijah could sense the passion in her words when she spoke. He admired her for that.
There were a total of two sessions today, both coming to an end. Freya, supporting her stomach, slowly walked out of the hall. Maddox suddenly appeared in front of her. He raised his thumb and said, “I didn’t expect you to be involved in this research. I was amazed by your speech just now.” He never expected that Freya would excel in this field. Although he couldn’t understand many professional terms, he found her speech captivating.
“I didn’t expect you to be with Mede. I went to Country M before, trying to recruit a talented young doctor, but I failed. Are you interested in coming back and developing with us?” Maddox’s mind started spinning, wanting to revive the previous unsuccessful plan.
For now, Freya had no intention of returning.
“Our country lacks talents like you. Why don’t you want to come back? Is it about the treatment…”
“Maddox,” A cold voice cut in, interrupting his words. Elijah walked over, taking strides. “Do you know who she is?”
Maddox nodded. “Yes, I do.”
“If you know, then why all the nonsense?” Elijah was clearly displeased. Freya was heavily pregnant, and she had been attending the seminar all morning. She must be exhausted.
And here he was, blocking her with nonsense. Freya didn’t need to consider the issue of compensation. Maddox slapped his forehead. How could he forget about this? After all, Freya was Elijah’s woman. She wasn’t lacking money. In fact, he should address Freya as the boss now, shouldn’t he? After all, Elijah had invested in him.
“My bad.” Maddox said with an embarrassed smile.
No wonder Elijah was unhappy.
Freya knew why Maddox went to Country M last time. She comforted him, “Don’t worry, our medical field in our country won’t fall behind.”
Maddox pressed for more information. “Any good news?”
Freya looked around to make sure there were no eavesdroppers before saying, “Elijah is a shareholder in Mede.”
Maddox’s eyes widened in surprise. He had wanted to poach people from Mede before. But he never expected that Elijah would outsmart him, infiltrating directly and becoming a key figure. He couldn’t help but admire him. Elijah had achieved success in his career for a reason.
“Let’s go,” Elijah said, grabbing her shoulder. “Aren’t you hungry? What do you want to eat?”
Freya was indeed hungry. “I want barbecue…”
Elijah lowered his gaze and refused, “No.”
That thing would cause indigestion, wouldn’t it? Especially for her, being pregnant, it wasn’t healthy.
Freya pursed her lips. “Then you choose.”
So Elijah took her to a private kitchen. He ordered the signature dishes here. While waiting for the food, Freya looked at Elijah and asked, “Have you been in contact with Orion lately?” Now that her matters were settled, she needed to find out about Luna’s situation.
“There’s been some business dealings.” answered Elijah.
Orion was now in charge of his family’s company, but he didn’t have the same business acumen as he did as a doctor. Elijah was helping him in his business dealings.
“Why do you suddenly ask about him?”
“After we finish eating, I need to meet him.” Said Freya.
At that moment, Elijah’s phone rang.
