No More Layovers for a Love That Won't Land novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148

After dinner, as soon as Freya returned home, she received a call from Johnny.

After learning the reason for Nolan’s call, he said, “Hardin and Hall? I already know them.”

Then he continued, “By the way, that Rex is actually Reed Hardin’s son. His dad is so impressive, I just don’t know why the son is so young and yet blind.”

Freya hadn’t expected that Rex was Reed’s son, but it didn’t really concern her.

On Tuesday, the initial test for Wilson Tech’s self–driving car was scheduled. Freya and Johnny went to Wilson Tech early in the morning.

By the time they arrived, Rex and Yves had already been there.

When they saw them, they just glanced briefly and then looked away.

Johnny wasn’t bothered and pulled Freya to begin the test work.

Seeing that the preliminary preparations were complete but no one had started testing, Johnny asked, “Why haven’t

we started?”

President Kim replied, “Mr. Wilson will personally come to check the testing situation. Once he arrives, we’ll start.”

Johnny said, “…Oh.”

Then he remembered something and asked, “By the way, why haven’t I seen Miss Brown today? Didn’t she say she was coming to Wilson Tech to improve herself?”

Why had she disappeared after only a few days?

President Kim laughed, “Oh, Miss Brown wanted to improve herself, right? Mr. Wilson said the fastest and best way to improve is to lead a team and do a project.

So, last week, Mr. Wilson had someone reorganize a previously shelved company project. These past two days, Miss Brown–no, she should be called Director Brown now–she formed a team and is having a meeting upstairs.”

Johnny was taken aback.

He turned to look at Freya and saw that she was writing down the previous test details, showing no reaction to Kim’s comment about Mr. Wilson assembling a team for Raven.

He sighed and patted her head.

Freya swatted his hand away, “Stop it.”

Johnny didn’t respond, but from the tone, it seemed like she was no longer bothered.

He was relieved.

At that moment, Matteo arrived, accompanied by Harry and Levi.

Harry and Levi seemed surprised to see them.

When they saw Freya, they were visibly shocked.

Freya didn’t show any emotion, glancing at them before quickly looking away.

Matteo, however, politely greeted them, “Thank you for your hard work, everyone.”

Kim said, “Mr. Wilson, can we start now…?”

“Wait, we’re waiting for one more person.” Matteo checked his watch, “I’ll go upstairs to check, please wait here for a moment.”

With that, he left.

Freya didn’t intend to think too much about it, but she knew that the person Matteo was referring to was Raven. In other words, they would start the official test after Raven finished her meeting.

Johnny evidently realized the same thing and gritted his teeth, nearly swearing.

Matteo and Raven soon came downstairs together.

They were accompanied by Sophia.

Sophia wasn’t surprised to see Freya because Raven had informed her in advance.

When she saw Freya, who was clearly Matteo’s wife, but was only allowed to wait for Raven to come down like a subordinate, Sophia’s eyes gleamed with a hint of mockery and smugness.

Freya didn’t care about why Sophia was dressed in a professional suit at Wilson Tech, nor did she care about her attitude.

She simply shifted her gaze away.

Raven politely apologized, “Sorry for making everyone wait.”

Raven’s apology seemed sincere, but she only directed it towards Rex, Yves, and Johnny.

She didn’t even spare a glance at Freya.

Clearly, her apology didn’t include her.

Rex, not paying attention to Freya, didn’t care about such details and said, “It’s only a few minutes, no problem.”

“Mr. Hardin is very magnanimous,” Johnny said, standing up, his tone cold, “Since you’re here, let’s not waste any more time. Let’s get started.”

Matteo, who arrived at that moment, politely said, “It’s our fault. Mr. Gray, please.”

Johnny sneered, pulling Freya with him as they left the meeting room.

Seeing Johnny holding Freya’s hand intimately, Matteo glanced at them but quickly turned his eyes away, apparently not caring.

Harry, however, couldn’t help but look at the two of them for a moment.

Among the group, Matteo and Raven were clearly the center of attention.

At the test site, the staff respectfully reported, “Mr. Wilson, Miss Brown, we’re ready.”

The staff clearly regarded Raven as the lady boss.

Matteo nodded, “Let’s begin.”

“Yes.”

They could clearly see the driving performance on the monitor.

After the test driver successfully completed a round of testing, the staff asked Matteo and Raven if they wanted to experience it themselves.
