No More Layovers for a Love That Won't Land novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164

“As for Frank, I have no doubt.” Granny Green replied calmly, “What I fear is that Freya might cause trouble and force Matteo to compromise.”

She then turned to Logan and Granny Brown and said, “You two may have to talk to her.”

Logan and Granny Brown both thought the same.

Meanwhile, Freya and Johnny had no idea what the Brown and Green families were thinking. After exiting the elevator, they were heading to their private room when three tall figures walked towards them.

Seeing them, Johnny thought, “Am I cursed today?”

How did he keep running into all these bothersome people?

Freya glanced over. Rex, Yves, and…

some else.

The last one seemed familiar, but she couldn’t recall where she’d seen him.

When the three men saw Johnny and Freya, they took the initiative to greet Johnny.

“Mr. Gray, what a coincidence!”

Johnny’s smile was polite but cold, “Yes, quite a coincidence.”

Rex had called Yves earlier in the afternoon, intending to invite him to dinner and discuss potential cooperation,

but was turned down.

Now that they had met by chance, Rex mostly ignored Freya and said, “Since we’ve run into each other, why not join

us?”

Yves also smiled, “Yeah, it’s been a while since we had a meal together.”

“No thanks.” Johnny declined with a smile. “I’ve got some business to attend to, not really convenient.”

Then he turned to the other person, “Young Master Hall, what brings you out today?”

Jimmy Hall’s handsome face showed little emotion. “I’m on a few days off.”

Johnny nodded. He wasn’t interested in chatting further and said, “Let’s leave the meal for next time. We have something to do, so we’ll head in first.”

Jimmy nodded.

Johnny and Freya entered the private room first.

Once they were a bit further away, Jimmy finally spoke, “Who pissed him off?”

Though Johnny hadn’t shown it explicitly, his demeanor clearly indicated that he didn’t want to interact with them.

Yves was confused. “I don’t think anyone did.”

Rex frowned but didn’t say anything.

Once they entered the private room, Yves took a sip of tea and said, “I have to admit, Yves is impressive. If those two projects go through, his value will skyrocket.”

Jimmy replied coolly, “He’s been smart since he was young, and with Nolan as his mentor, his field aligns perfectly with the current trends. His abilities are outstanding, so it’s natural for him to achieve something”

Then he glanced at Rex, “I heard from Yves that you used to be interested in the woman beside Johnny, but you quickly lost interest. You can fall for someone else, but why the sudden dislike for her? Did she do something wrong?”

Earlier, Rex didn’t even spare Freya a glance.

His dislike was so obvious it was hard to ignore.

At the beginning, Rex had been amazed by Freya’s face and temperament, but now, hearing anyone mention her made him uncomfortable.

He furrowed his brows and said, “Can we not talk about her? Let’s just order.”

Jimmy shrugged and changed the subject.

Cole had a lot of things to handle.

That evening, after dinner, Freya and Johnny returned to Cole for work.

On Wednesday morning, while Freya and Johnny were in a meeting, Johnny’s secretary came in to tell him that Harry had arrived.

Johnny: “…”

It was clear that Harry had come without any notice, and it was obvious why.

Given Harry’s position and influence, Johnny knew that since he was here, it wouldn’t be polite to not meet with

him.

He said to Freya, “You continue with the meeting. I’ll go take a look.”

Freya: “Okay.”

By the time Johnny arrived, Harry was already seated in the reception room.
