After the call, Freya returned to her work.

By 9 p.m., after a session of intense study, she felt much better.

At this moment, Johnny called.

“Want to go out for some fun?”

Half an hour later, Freya arrived at the bar.

Johnny came out to greet her and asked, “Want something to drink?”

Freya paused and then said, “Sure, I’ll have a drink.”

Johnny looked at her closely. “Not in a good mood?”

“Much better now.”

Johnny didn’t press her further and ordered a blue–colored, low–alcohol cocktail for her.

Freya held the drink in her hand, sipping it slowly while listening to Johnny chat with his friends.

Neither she nor Johnny realized that someone was watching them from the bar upstairs.

Yves said, “So it’s her with Johnny.”

The man next to him followed his gaze and saw Freya. He froze for a moment.

Yves noticed and chuckled. “Is she your type?”

His friend didn’t respond but asked, “Do you know her?”

“Yes,” Yves replied. “This is the girl I told you about a few days ago–the one that Rex was interested in, but then suddenly lost interest.”

His friend looked at Freya and thought, although their bar wasn’t chaotic, Freya had a calm and clean aura. Amid the flashing lights and booming music, she stood out, almost like she had accidentally wandered in from another

world.

Johnny asked, “Want to go dance?”

Freya didn’t know how to dance, but she was curious to try. “Okay.”

In the dance floor, with Johnny leading, they swayed to the music for about a minute. Freya slowly adapted and relaxed, swaying her body lightly.

She had drunk a little and was slightly tipsy. Her face flushed prettily, her eyes sparkling with a glimmer of playfulness, adding a hint of charm that wasn’t there before.

Yves clicked his tongue. “Although Miss Miller doesn’t have that conquering are like Miss Brown, she really exudes that pure, youthful beauty. She’s absolutely captivating!”

His friend didn’t reply.

At this moment, Freya felt her phone vibrating.

She didn’t stop dancing, but took out her phone to check. After seeing the caller ID, she immediately stopped.

Johnny saw her expression change and leaned over to check. He froze. “It’s the teacher!”

Freya and Johnny quickly left the dance floor.

As they were heading out, Freya looked up and saw Yves and a handsome young man sitting next to him at the bar.

Freya wasn’t familiar with Yves, so she quickly averted her gaze and left the bar with Johnny to answer the call. When she answered, her tone was hesitant. “Hello, Teacher…”

“Come pick me up tomorrow afternoon.”

Freya was stunned. “Huh?”

Before she could respond, the call was already hung up.

Johnny quickly asked, “What did the teacher say?”

Freya replied, “The teacher asked me to pick him up tomorrow afternoon.”

“Did he mention anything else? Or ask if I should come with you?”

Freya shook her head.

Johnny glanced at his phone, realizing that Nolan hadn’t contacted him. He suddenly felt a little hurt. “The teacher is biased.”

In such a lively atmosphere at the bar, it was indeed easy to relax.

Freya felt much better. She reached out and gently covered his chest. “Feeling better now?”

“No, I’ll feel better when you pay for tonight’s expenses.”

“Got it.”

Of course, she was joking.

There was no way Johnny would let Freya pay. Also, he was worried that taking her to a bar would be discovered by Nolan. After settling the bill at the bar, he left with Freya,

Freya drove to Nolan’s villa to pick him up.

After getting into the car, she asked, “Teacher, where are we going?”

Nolan gave her an address.

Half an hour later, they arrived at a restaurant and were led to a private room.

When they entered, two men, both with commanding presences, were already seated.

As they saw them enter, the two men stood up. “You’re here.”

“Jordan Hall, Reed Hardin,” Nolan said, still with his usual cool demeanor as he introduced them. “This is my student, Freya.”

Freya had seen them on the news before.

One of them held a significant position in the military, and the other was a major political figure.

However, when they saw Freya, their attitude was very warm. They both shook her hand, saying, “We’ve heard a lot about you.”

Freya, though a bit confused, calmly shook their hands and politely replied, “The honor is mine.”

Jordan and Reed smiled and gestured for her to sit.

Once she sat down, Jordan said, “We’ve known about you for years. We’ve always hoped that Academician Nolan could introduce us, but with everyone being so busy, it never happened. Recently, our team has been studying the system you developed, and since we all had time these past few days, we thought we’d meet and have a meal together.”

After some pleasantries, they began discussing systems, chips, and energy…

Nolan sat quietly on the side, eating and drinking tea, rarely participating in the conversation.

After more than an hour, Jordan poured a cup of tea for Freya, which she accepted.

Jordan set down the teapot, his gaze deep and full of experience, but when looking at Freya, his expression softened. “If I’m not mistaken, Mag, you’re in your twenties?”
