StarNovelChapter 317:
“Trent informedyou've returned to Alerith.” Hugh spoke delicately, treading carefully to avoid further
damaging their fragile relationship. “If your schedule permits, visit the company today. Didn’t you express
interest in an investment advisor position?”
Freya instinctively glanced at Melvin, weighing her options carefully. After a moment's contemplation, she
nodded. “Okay.”
She would need to face this situation eventually; addressing it promptly seemed the wiser choice.
Hugh's voice brightened with unmistakable relief. “I'll be waiting at the company. Just letknow when you
arrive.”
Freya responded with a simple, “Alright.”
After ending the call, she briefed Melvin on her plans.
He efficiently distributed the freshly signed documents before personally escorting her to the Briggs Group
office.
The clock had already struck half-past ten when they pulled up to the imposing building.

Freya harbored no intention of lingering. Her agenda was precise—secure the investment advisor position, sign
the necessary paperwork, and depart.
“Mina!” Hugh called out as she turned to leave.
Freya halted mid-stride.

Shaw is celebrating his 80th birthday and extended an invitation to us. Should we attend?”
From a purely business perspective, their presence would be expected.

Declining might trigger speculation and unnecessary complications. However, considering Mina’s intricate
history with the Shaw family... if she preferred to abstain, Hugh would respect her decision.
“Let's go,” Freya declared with unexpected firmness.
“Are you certain?” Hugh's brow furrowed with concern. “Given your divorce from Kristian, won't your presence
potentially create tension?”
“I'll be attending as Briggs Group's representative, not as Freya,” she explained, her tone measured. Though not
particularly fond of Hugh, she saw no reason to leave him anxious. “Besides, he holds no power over me
anymore.”
“Very well,” Hugh replied, visibly reassured. “We'll attend together.”
Freya pressed her lips together, ultimately choosing silence over further comment.
Despite Hugh's invitation to join him for lunch, Freya declined politely. Departing with the signed contract in
hand, she contemplated a pending project requiring her attention.
