Meeting Freya's father in Laurel & Pearl, Chris heard the things he had expected.

"Freya likes you, but you are not suitable. The Qin family is the best family for Freya. I'll marry Freya to Travis. They are quite suitable in personality. After marriage, I believe that Travis will take care of Freya."

The old man arranged his daughter's life as an experienced manager.

Chris's heart sank. "Marry Freya to Travis and Travis will take care of Freya?"

When he first married Joanne to Brian, he felt as if a piece of meat had been taken from his body. He thought it was the limit of pain. Now, the place where he was hit was the heart, and his heart kept sinking.

The pain was acceptable, but this was too much. He would not accept this anyway.

No! Absolutely no!

The voice inside Chris's heart had never been so angry. He would never let Freya marry Travis, not over his dead body!

"Uncle Norris, I will not accept this, and Freya won't either." He looked at the elder in front of him, his eyes and tone as calm as ever. "I am going to be with Freya, and even you, her father, can't stop it."

"Of course I will not stop you." Mr. Norris smiled. "It's normal for young people. They love people freely. It's not like things in the past when marriages are arranged. I understand that." However, I am sure that you will not last long, and even if you are together now, you will not end up together in the end. Chris, the person who'll marry Freya must be Travis."

Chris just smiled and stood up. "It's not. Even if it is not me, it will not be Travis. Uncle Norris, I've said everything I wanted to. I'll leave first. I have already have my assistant foot the bill. You can take your time."

He walked out of the restaurant, and Jack asked, "Boss Scott, are you going to meet with Miss Norris?"

Initially, Chris wanted to see her right away, but he could not help being disturbed by what Mr. Norris had said. He rubbed his brow irritatedly. "I'll go home first."

At this time, Freya just called Ada. She wanted to know how Chris looked like when he came back today.

"He doesn't look very good." Ada said, "I told Boss Scott that you have been there, and his reaction was very dull. Miss Norris, have you two quarreled with each other?"

Freya was disappointed and mumbled a few words before hanging up the phone. She stared at Chris's phone number for a long while and wanted to dial the number several times, but eventually, she gave up the idea.

No, she could not call him today. Maybe she would wait for a few more days. Chris was so busy, and he would not always remember that thing every day, wouldn't he? He would gradually forget about it and no longer be mad at her!

What she didn't know was that Chris was lying in bed, unable to sleep.

"You and Freya's personality are not suitable. Even if you are together now, you won't end up together in the end."

What Travis and Mr. Norris said kept echoing again and again in his head, and he thought about them carefully, he found that what they said did make sense in a way. When he and Freya hung out together, they often ended up quarreling with each other. If two people who were only good at quarreling and not good at keeping each other's company, how could they stick together for a long time? Even if they had sparks for each other, they would get exhausted in the end.

However, stick together for a long time...?

What shocked him even more was this idea. When did he actually think that he would be with Freya for a long time this time? He only wanted to have a try with her in the first place.

The more he thought, the greater pain he felt on his brain. Chris got up and opened the bedside table and swallowed two sleeping pills. Then, great drowsiness soon came pouring down to make him finally fell asleep.

On the next day, they launched the latest issue of "Vogue".

Vogue was the best-selling fashion magazine in China. The editor-in-chief was a big shot in the fashion industry. Its readers varied from the company employees who have just entered the society to the senior white-collar workers, and then to the ladies in the upper society. The magazine was popular among countless fashion-conscious girls. When Freya's several pictures came out, the reader's response was unusually strong. She was in the trending topics on the very same day.

In the first set, Freya wore a bright red knee-length skirt and revealed the curves of her body in the carefully-tailored dress. Her slender legs were bare. However, compared with her attractive body, her unique temperament looked more attractive.

Many people could try this kind of bright red color, but not everyone stood out in this color. The flamBriant, enthusiastic, and straightforward red color suited perfectly with Freya's eyes and poses. She looked very good in the dress and made herself the center of the picture, rather than the dress itself.

Big shot in the fashion forum often emphasized that people wore clothes, and should not be suppressed by the clothes they wore. Freya had been a perfect interpretation of that sentence.

But if anyone thought that this was Freya's fixed image, then he was making a big mistake.

When they turned to the next page, they would find Freya in an office lady style. White shirt, pencil skirt, and black leather bag. The suit did not look that strong but could immediately seize everyone's eyes. Even her smile became crisp. On the next page, she became an elegant lady. Her temperament this time was totally different from when she was in that glamorous red dress. However, she still looked naturally.

So people who reposted her three sets of pictures on X all commented: A person can actually live as three completely different people!

This issue of the magazine sold very well that the newsstand bosses were all busy selling them.

Outside the president's office of Everbridge Group, Chris's secretaries were also browsing the magazine, and Ada tut-tutted. "Miss Norris actually became a model, a model of Vogue! But... we didn't know that she can easily pull off so many styles."

"This is called versatility!" Another secretary said, "Like some stars, they can only play sobbing girls on screen with their deadpan faces, but some stars can play from high school girls to professional white-collar workers, and to rural women as well. Miss Norris is the latter kind of star! And she has that innate style that says she doesn't care about anything. She looked comfortable in any kind of photos, all of them!"

"Hey, I heard that Lambert Group' best agent is behind Miss Norris managing her. If she keeps it up, she will definitely be famous! Should we ask for a few signed photos from her while we can?"

"Hand me the magazine."

A male voice that the secretaries were all very familiar with sounded. At that time, they were all taken back and then looked back. "Boss Scott!" God, when did he stand behind them?

"It's not working hours in the afternoon yet, you don't have to overreact when you're having a conversation." Chris reached out and said, "Can I have your magazine?"

"Yes, you can!" Ada presented the magazine to him with both hands.

"Thank you."

Chris took the magazine and went straight into the office. After sitting down and opening it, he suddenly felt that Freya in the magazine was both familiar and strange.

When Freya pestered him, she always laughed like a kid and would occasionally strike a sexy pose to tease him. However, it was just a kind of mischief. She was not an open girl in her bones.

Now she appeared in the best-selling fashion magazine, so beautiful and in so many styles. She was shining so bright that people could not take their eyes off her. Nevertheless, she was not looking at him the way she used to. She was simply showing herself like there was no one else in the world.

After listening to her father's words last night, he wanted to wait and chewed on it. But now, intuition told him that he could not wait any longer.

"Ada." He pressed the internal line. "Do I have any schedule for this evening?"

"Yes, you do." Ada added, "You'll be having lunch with Manager Tang from Seal company for some business matter."

"Reschedule it for tomorrow."

"But your schedule is full tomorrow..." Ada thought that Chris was weird lately. He was a workaholic and would finish all the things on the schedule in one day, but lately, he often rescheduled things. It was not easy to be a secretary.

"Then the day after tomorrow." Chris said, "In short, it can't be tonight, I have something important tonight."

Ada. "OK. Then I will inform Manager Tang's secretary."

After hanging up the phone, Chris looked at the photo of Freya in the magazine. He raised his lips and opened the file to start working.

When he was busy, everything became clear in his mind.

He didn't want to have a try with Freya. He really wanted to be with Freya. If he could, he did not hate the idea of marrying her.

Freya said that he only pitied her, but it was actually not. He was serious about her. Otherwise, when he heard that Travis would marry her, he wouldn't have rushed on the streets of Japan to pick up a fight with Travis. Yesterday, after listening to her father's words, he would not have been rude enough to say that even if Freya's future husband was not him, it would not be Travis.

Speaking of it, he rarely became physical for a woman, and Freya had been the first woman.

After everything, Freya still dared to say that he was not serious?

At five o'clock, Chris signed the last document and put the pen back in the pen holder. Today's work was all over.

He got up and buttoned the suit jacket. Just when he was about to leave the office, Jack suddenly rushed in.

After working with him for so many years, Jack was the calmest of all his assistants. Chris rarely saw such expression on Jack's face and he had a bad feeling. However, he still asked calmly. "What's wrong?"

"Something big." Jack was out of breath. "Boss Scott, Clark Enterprise signed the deal with the Japanese company. More importantly, the plan Clark Enterprise gave to the Japanese company is exactly like ours, and not a single word was different from ours!"

Chris suddenly on that day, when he ran into Travis on the street of Japan, Travis smiled so confidently.

It turned out that he had his trump card.

He returned to his seat, and his look was so cold at that instant. "Did you find out what happened?"

"I'm working on it." Jack said, "But, these kind of things are obvious, aren't they?"

Chris looked graver. "You mean, it was an inside job and someone leaked our project?"

"Boss Scott..." Jack lowered his voice. "The people on this project are all your followers. Some of them even built the company in the beginning with you. Everyone is loyal to Everbridge Group. To stay in the company, Maya even bites the bullet and works in the Marketing Department. How can you suspect that they did it?

Chris glared at Jack. "What are you trying to say?"

"I just want to inform you that Miss Norris knows the detail of the plan too." Jack closed his eyes and reopened them, and then he decided to go all out. "And I heard that the Qin family and Norris Family are planning on a unison marriage. Miss Norris and Travis have been close. I've had people checked. On the second day Miss Norris translated the document, she posed for the Vogue photos you see today. And on that night, she spent the entire night with Travis.

"Enough!" Chris finally could not take it anymore and shouted without his usual composure. "Get out!"

Jack did not say anything further and left Chris's office.

Chris swept all the phones on the desk to the floor. All the phones flopped to the floor and shattered into pieces.
