It was quite surprising that Freya showed up.
Everyone was momentarily stunned, and their eyes turned to Neo Miller. “How did you know the real location?”
No one had told him.
Neo Miller was about to say that Lane Glover told them, but Freya spoke first, “Is it difficult for me to find out? I wanted to know, is that a problem?”
Lane Glover, who had just arrived at the door, heard what Freya said.
She realized that she shouldn’t have said it in front of Neo Miller.
He didn’t understand the twists and turns in this situation and would definitely tell the truth.
Then everyone would know that she was the one who revealed it.
They would definitely dislike her.
Freya took a step forward and glanced at the people who had just spoken, “You all know who Elijah is to me. If there’s something I want to find out, he will help me investigate.”
Mr Donaldson walked over, “Freya, come, sit next to me.”
Freya naturally walked over and sat down.
On the other hand, the people who were just talking didn’t dare to move. They remained silent at this moment.
Freya smiled, “Why are you all still standing? Please, have a seat.”
The few people sat down reluctantly.
Freya said, “I know that you have many doubts about me. I am willing to accept any challenges within my field. If I lose, I will voluntarily give up this position.”
Mr Donaldson turned to look at her, “Are you confident?”
Freya shook her head.
She didn’t really have confidence.
But she knew very well that if she wanted to convince these people, she had to show them some convincing ability.
If she lost, she wouldn’t lose much. It would prove that she was indeed not as skilled as others and shouldn’t take on this position.
But if she won, she could shut their mouths.
“Will you keep your word?” someone spoke up.
Freya said, “I always keep my word, except for today. You can choose the time.”
“Okay, tomorrow then.”
There were many people, and each person had their own expertise.
Mr Donaldson said, “You can only send three people.”
He knew best about the talents in the department. If each of them competed with Freya, Freya couldn’t possibly win against all of them. But winning against three people shouldn’t be too difficult for her.
No one spoke up, so Donaldson said, “What, do you want each person to compete with her in one expertise? A group of people against one person, are you not ashamed? This is not fair to outnumber her. If you’re all silent because you’re not confident in winning?”
“No.”
“Then what is it?”
“… Alright.”
“That’s settled then,” Donaldson made the decision.
“Today is Mr Donaldson’s farewell party, everyone should be happy,” Freya stood up, raised a glass of wine to Mr Donaldson, “Thank you for your recognition, I will work hard not to let you down.”
“I believe in you, otherwise, I wouldn’t have approached you proactively.” Said Wesley Donaldson.
They clinked their glasses.
Freya put down her glass, and someone else stood up to propose a toast to Mr Donaldson. One by one, they offered their toasts, and Mr Donaldson had to drink a lot. He suggested that they all drink together. Soon, the atmosphere became relaxed.
…
The farewell party continued until midnight.
It wasn’t appropriate to leave early in this kind of occasion.
Freya walked out.
Her driver came to pick her up.
She had only had one glass of wine and wasn’t drunk, just a little flushed.
The driver informed her that Zane had left the hospital as soon as he woke up.
She responded with an “mm.”
Zane probably needed some time to calm down.
She got into the car. “Let’s go home!”
The driver started the car.
As they arrived at the doorstep of her house, her phone suddenly rang.
She answered the call.
It was an unfamiliar voice.
“Please come over now!”
