Chapter 282: Chapter 282

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 282 Freya smiled bitterly. “Maybe he’s glad to have finally gotten rid of me.”

“Stop thinking about him. Aren’t there many handsome men in Canberra? Look, there’s one at the door right now. He’s looking at you.”

Catherine looked behind Freya and jerked her chin.

Freya glanced over just in time to see a man turning around. He was wearing an expensive black leather coat, and his long legs were comparable to a model’s. Two people were following after him like lap dogs.

“Is he that handsome? You’re exaggerating.”

Catherine blinked. “I’m not. He can even be compared to Shaun Hill.”

“That means he really is quite handsome.” Freya laughed. Although she was not in a good mood after just falling out of love, that did not stop her from appreciating handsome men.

…

Upstairs, in the room.

The general manager of Osher Corporation carefully poured wine for Rodney Snow and made guesses from the expression on the man’s face. “President Snow, the woman in the beige sweater you were looking at the door earlier is our company’s newly hired senior cosmetic chemist, Freya Lynch.”

“Oh, so she belongs to our company?”

A touch of playfulness flashed across his lips. “Then the one who was sitting opposite her must be her friend.”

“Yes.”

Rodney fiddled with the wine glass in his hand. “I know where I’m going later. Think of a way to invite Freya Lynch and her friend.”

The general manager felt troubled. “President Snow, Freya Lynch is a rare talent…”

“Don’t worry, I won’t give her a hard time. It’s just that her friend bullied my friend before,” Rodney said faintly, “Be careful not to alert them.”

…

8:30 p.m.

Catherine and Freya chatted for a long time and prepared to go to the cinema when Freya suddenly received a call from her company’s general manager. “Look at the cosmetic recipe now…? Okay… I’ll come over later.”

“You’re leaving me behind?” Catherine raised her brows.

“I can’t help it. The general manager said that President Snow came to the company for an inspection today, and they just so happened to talk about that new beauty product I’m researching. He wants me to go report to President Snow now.” Freya felt like her head was going to explode. “President Snow isn’t someone a person like me can afford to mess with. The Snow family is one of the top four in Canberra. Anyway, they’re as terrifying as the Hill family.”

Catherine was speechless. “Why do I feel like the capital is full of big shots?”

“Exactly. The Lynch family can be considered influential in Melbourne, but to the people in Canberra, we’re just country bumpkins.” Freya shrugged. “You go back first.”

“Will you be fine? Do you want me to accompany you?”

“No. Even if something happens, I can’t drag you into it. I’ve already dragged you through enough.”

Freya waved her hand and hurriedly left.

…

11:00 p.m.

“Is this Ms. Jones? Your friend is drunk. Please come and pick her up.

“Who is this…?”

“I’m the general manager of her company.”

Catherine had just taken a shower and was ready to sleep when she suddenly received a call from Freya, but it was an unfamiliar man who spoke.
