NovelTrueChapter 1054: "What?" Freya was puzzled by the sudden shift.
"You and Ellis-how far has it gone?" Greta's voice was full of playful curiosity. "Don't tellyou two haven't done anything yet." Freya hesitated, searching for the right words.
Greta gasped at the silence. “Wait—seriously? Nothing?" "We've kissed," Freya said calmly.
"That's it?" "That's it?" Freya said with a straight face.

Freya cleared her throat and looked away. "He's fine." Sure, they hadn't gone all the way. But there had been moments during their kisses when she could clearly feel his physical reactions. She was certain he was in perfect condition.
"You won't know for sure until you really know," Greta added slyly.
Freya quickly changed the subject before it got any more suggestive. "Didn't you say you wanted a boyfriend? Why not consider Trent or Frederick? One's clever, and the other's really sweet. One of them has to be your type!" "Absolutely not," Greta shot back.
If she had feelings for either of them, she would've made a move long ago.
After a bit more light chatter, the call ended. Freya set down her phone and got back to work.
Relationships cin all forms. Swere fiery and intense, others steady and peaceful.
Her relationship with Ellis was a blend of both. Maybe it was because they'd known each other for years-faced life-or-death situations together more times than they could count. Even now, as a couple, their dynamic hadn't shifted much.
They were still teammates first. Still the kind of people who could trust each other with their backs-and their lives.
If there was any difference now, it was that their possessiveness toward each other had grown stronger. Both wanted to give more, do more, be more-for the other.
Other than that, there wasn't much change.
Still, Greta's words lingered in Freya's mind. Ellis had been single for thirty years. She couldn't let him keep waiting. Once the proposal went through, she was going to take things a bit further.
If Ellis knew what was running through Freya's head right now, he'd probably light up with joy—and start imagining exactly how she planned to take things further.
But, for now, he was blissfully unaware.
In the days that followed, their routine stayed pretty much the same.
One evening, Freya noticed Ellis burning the midnight oil over Lambert Group work, Only then did she realize the truth-he had been juggling two jobs just to stay close to her.
"You're going back to Lambert Group next Monday," she said gently m "Melvin can handle Anita International on his own."
Her company had entered a stable phase. No major changes were on the horizon. Melvin could manage. But Ellis shook his head.
