StarNovelChapter 770:
“I always knew he was handsome, but in that outfit? He's unreal!”
“My goodness!”
“I need to know who that girl is. What department is she from?”
“Why does she look so much like our boss?”
“She’s stunning!”
As the crowd pressed forward, Ellis set down Freya's glass, slipped his hand into hers, and led her out, shielding
her from the attention.
Others tried to follow, but they were quickly stopped.
Freya's heart was in chaos.
Yes, she was drawn to physical beauty—but appearance alone had never been enough to sway her.
Even with Kristian, it had been their emotional connection over time, not just his looks, that made her fall. But
now, she didn’t know what was happening.
The warmth of Ellis’s hand around hers sent a jolt through her chest. Her heartbeat stumbled.

They stood in the hotel's back garden, surrounded by silence and the dim glow of streetlights.
Ellis had led her there. They stood together in the darkness, surrounded by the faint, golden halo of the nearby
streetlights. Her thoughts were finally beginning to settle. Looking up at the man still holding her hand, she

“It’s fine,” Freya replied, composed but still uneasy.

Her mind drifted back to the ballroom, to the way he had called her Mina. And then, a thought surfaced without
warning. Could he really have a soft spot for her?
Before she could unpack it, Ellis spoke again, his tone light and unaffected. “Shall we head back? There's not
much else going on here anyway.”
“Alright,” Freya murmured, her nod a soft gesture of agreement.
Ellis led her through the dim evening light to the parking lot, coaxing her gently into the passenger seat before
sliding behind the wheel to drive them back.
As the city lights blurred past, he stole glances at her, trying to read her quiet composure through the fleeting
reflections in the window. She sat there, serene as ever, embodying the stillness of a calm sea. Yet, he felt a
twinge of doubt creeping in.

But now, watching her seemingly indifferent expression, he wondered if his efforts had been in vain.
Ellis, usually so adept at gauging Freya's moods, found himself grappling with his misjudgment.
