Chapter 50
He wasn’t just a skinflint taskmaster; the dude was straight–up medieval with it.
Even Lily couldn’t wrap her head around it. “What’s cating him? What’s the beef–why’s he coming at you so hard? You positive he’s not secretly pining for Liam?”
Freya chuckled dryly. “I wondered that myself once, but nope. Bumped into his girlfriend yesterday.”
“…Still doesn’t prove anything. He could swing both ways.”
Freya added, “And a total masochist on top of that.”
Lily pulled her into a quick hug. “Relax–I’ve already hit up the buyer. She’ll hustle to get it. Hand over that shirt, and you won’t have to tiptoe around him anymore.”
Freya wasn’t really afraid of Ryan, anyway.

She poked her head into the hall and froze.
‘Bronzed gym goddess?‘
…Looking for me?”
Sophia lunged in, clamping onto her hand like a pit bull. “Gotcha!”
Freya’s brain short–circuited. “Wait… have we met?”

Sophia burst out laughing. “Not till now.”
“Okay… so, what’s the play?”
Sophia’s eyes dropped to her shoes. “Ah! Question: where’d you snag those kicks? Shoot me the link?”
Freya was drawing a total blank on this chick’s angle.
She looked straight–up athletic: toned and sculpted, muscles popping just right, faint six–pack vibes under her top.
Freya wondered, ‘A jock like her, rocking needle–thin heels?‘

Chanel was legit; hers were top–shelf dupes.
