Chapter 103
Now the ball was in Ryan’s court.
Freya kept her head down, doing her best to stay invisible.
One of them was her boss, and the other was practically treated like a queen in the hotel. If they agreed on something, she would have no choice but to go along.
Ryan noticed the invitation in Herminia’s hand and recognized it right away. “Ms. Brandt, are you also going to the Crawford family’s sip–and–see party?”
“That’s right! I have some business dealings with the Crawford family. Of course I’ll attend their grandson’s party and offer my congratulations. Judging from what you said, Mr. Reed, are you going as well?” Herminia
said.
Ryan nodded. “My grandfather asked me to go and pass on his regards to Mr. Crawford. In that case, why don’t you ride with me?”
Herminia was delighted. “Oh, that’s so kind of you.”
Ryan said politely, “As you said, you’re an important client of our hotel. We have to deliver top service.”
“Then I won’t refuse. With Mr. Reed driving me, I feel like a VIP today.” Herminia laughed heartily.
Hearing their cheerful conversation, Freya felt a little more at ease.
“Mr. Reed, then you… Ah!” The car key was tossed over, and Freya fumbled to catch it.
Ryan instructed, “Go change your clothes. Ms. Brandt and I will wait for you in the parking lot.”
Freya looked at her boss in confusion.
“Ms. Brandt personally named you as her driver. That’s a client’s trust in you. Ms. Harper, you should feel honored,” said Ryan.
So he got the thanks, but Freya had to do the work.
She thought she must have lost her mind the night before to dream up something so unbelievably ridiculous.
Freya said, “I don’t need to change. I’m just dropping you off.”
Ryan spoke with unwavering authority. “Go change. I need a plus–one.”
“It’s a sip and see, not a business event. Why would you need a plus–one?” Freya was baffled.
Ryan said, “Instead of stalling, you could’ve changed already. Hurry up. Don’t keep Ms. Brandt waiting.”
With that, he politely gestured for Herminia to go first and left with her.
Freya had no other choice and returned to her room.
She didn’t bring anything fancy enough for the occasion, so she put on the white sunflower dress Ryan had bought her a few days ago.
She quickly tidied her hair, letting it fall loosely with a simple clip on one side.
When Freya got to the parking lot, Ryan and Herminia were chatting and laughing.
Seeing her arrive, Ryan held out his hand and asked, “Key?”
Freya took out the key.
Ryan grabbed it, got in the driver’s seat, and started the car himself.
Freya wondered, ‘Wasn’t I supposed to drive? Why is he driving himself now?‘
