Freya’s steps into the restaurant were hesitant.
Just as she was considering turning back, she heard Elijah’s voice behind her.
“Why aren’t you coming in?”
She turned around to see Elijah and asked, “Orion, why is he here?”
“He’s treating us to dinner, he’s the one paying, so of course he’s here.”
Elijah held her close, “It’s getting late, aren’t you hungry?”
Freya said, “I don’t want to see him.”
Huh?
“Aren’t you two good friends? Isn’t he your senior brother?” Elijah felt a twinge of discomfort saying this.
Just the fact that Orion knew Freya before he did, and he came later.
It just didn’t sit right with him.
It wasn’t jealousy.
After all, Orion and Freya’s relationship was very platonic, there was nothing romantic between them.
He couldn’t explain this feeling!
Freya rolled her eyes at him!
“I heard Luna is getting married, if I see him and he asks me about Luna, I don’t know how to respond.”
Elijah shrugged, “Just act like you don’t know anything.”
Freya sighed, “I guess that’s the only way.”
Together, she and Elijah walked in.
Orion stood up with a smile, “Why did you take so long?”
Freya explained, “We got held up.”
She received Elijah’s call, thinking he wanted to treat her to something good to eat.
Who knew it was Orion treating.
“I’ve already ordered the food.” he said, “I have some understanding of your tastes.”
Freya and Elijah sat together.
Orion sat opposite.
“Why did you suddenly invite us?” Freya asked.
Did Orion invite just to pry about something he heard?
“I’ve been busy recently, it’s been a while since we’ve met, and I had some time today, so I called Elijah.” Orion looked at Freya, “Why do I feel like you’re on guard against me?”
“Nonsense.” Freya vehemently denied.
Orion smirked, “I was just kidding.”
Freya asked, “Have you been busy lately?”
Orion nodded, “Yes.”
At that moment, the waiter brought the food.
Freya said, “I’m so hungry, let’s eat.”
She picked up her fork first.
Orion chuckled and asked Elijah, “Are you not feeding her? She looks like a starving wolf.”
Elijah glanced at him, “Why do I feel like you’re mocking her lack of table manners?”
Orion laughed, “She is indeed not very refined, devouring her food like she hasn’t eaten in days, but if you like it, that’s fine.”
Freya grumbled to herself.
How did she become the target of jokes?
Can’t she just enjoy a meal in peace?
After finishing her meal, she stood up, “You two take your time, savor your meal, don’t choke.”
Orion asked, “How come you’ve been with Elijah for a while now, but you’re still so feisty? You used to be very gentle, can temperament be contagious?”
Freya smiled slightly at him, “Can’t help it, birds of a feather flock together, so, don’t provoke me in the future.”
With that, she grabbed her bag and said to Elijah, “I have work in the afternoon, so I’ll head out first.”
Elijah stood up, “I’ll walk you out.”
“No need, Eagle is waiting for me outside, and you have to go back to the office, it’s not on the way, it’d be a waste of time.”
Elijah nodded, “Come back early in the evening.”
“Okay.” She waved her hand.
After Freya left, Orion’s expression turned serious, “I asked you out, actually, for a reason.”
