No More Layovers for a Love That Won't Land novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209

Freya didn’t say anything further.

Isabella seemed to remember something and suddenly said, “Oh, I haven’t told Dad yet. I’ll give him a call.”

Matteo quickly answered the phone.

When he heard Isabella, he said, “Dad knows. If you need anything, just call me, and I’ll send it to you.”

Isabella replied, “Okay.”

She quickly hung up the phone.

Grandma Miller had originally been worried that Matteo might not agree. She even considered stopping Isabella from calling him.

But reason told her that she shouldn’t do that.

Now, seeing Isabella hang up the phone so happily, she couldn’t help but ask, “Did your dad agree?”

Isabella answered cheerfully, “Of course!”

Then, a bit confused, she asked, “Why wouldn’t he agree?”

She continued talking to Grandma Miller, “Dad treats me really well. No matter what I want to do, Dad usually agrees.”

Grandma Miller: “…”

For a moment, she was speechless.

Freya didn’t interrupt.

After a while, Freya took Isabella’s hand and went upstairs to take a bath.

Although Cole had already confirmed cooperation with Rex, Harry, and others, there were still some businesses that had not found suitable partners.

In order to find the right partners as soon as possible and increase the company’s exposure to promote its development, Cole held a promotional conference after several months of preparation. The event was officially held on Monday morning.

After sending Isabella to school in the morning, Freya drove to the hotel where the press conference was held. By the time she arrived, Johnny and others were already there.

She was scheduled to give a speech as one of the core technical members of the company and answer media questions.

Freya and Johnny went over the process backstage. At this moment, Harry and Rex had both arrived.

After about twenty minutes, Johnny and Freya went on stage to give their speeches. When Johnny was speaking, Rex listened attentively, but as soon as Freya took the stage, he frowned.

Wasn’t introducing products and technologies such an important part of the conference that Johnny should have handled it? Why had he left this to Freya?

Freya didn’t pay attention to Rex. Her voice was gentle, calm, and collected, whether she was introducing the company’s products or answering the media’s technical questions. She handled everything flawlessly without showing any signs of nervousness.

Since Freya took the stage, Rex began to zone out, no longer paying attention to what she was saying. Hearing her answer technical questions, he assumed that Cole had prepared a script for her in advance.

As he was distracted, he noticed Harry was looking forward attentively, his gaze focused on Freya. Unlike Rex, Harry seemed genuinely engaged in her presentation.

Rex:

”

”

He didn’t think much of it but believed Harry was just putting on a show.

After the press conference, Freya and Johnny were even busier. Rex had to go to Wilson Tech in the afternoon, so after greeting Johnny, he left.

When he arrived at Wilson Tech, Matteo hadn’t yet arrived. Rex went to the place where Raven and others were working. As soon as he reached the door, he noticed it was quite lively inside.

Seeing him, General Manager immediately greeted him: “Mr. Hardin.”

Rex nodded. Raven also looked up and said, “Matteo is probably still ten minutes away. Please wait a moment.”

Hearing Raven say this, Rex thought to himself that their relationship seemed quite good. Otherwise, Matteo wouldn’t report everything to Raven.

He replied, “I know. Mr. Wilson’s secretary informed me.”

Then, he changed the topic: “It seems quite lively today. Is there some good news?”

General Manager immediately said, “Our project had been stuck on a technical issue for more than a week, but just now, Director Brown completely solved the problem, so our project can continue moving forward. Everyone in the project team is very happy.”

Someone else chimed in, “We really have to thank Director Brown. A doctorate from a world–class university knows much more about technology than we do.”

!

Rex already knew Raven was outstanding, but now, he was witnessing her brilliance firsthand. Hearing so many people praise Raven, he couldn’t help but feel happy for her, saying, “Congratulations.”

Raven smiled and replied, “Thank you.”

She then added, “But it’s not entirely my credit. Over the past period of time, Matteo has taught me a lot, which allowed me to grow quickly.”

Raven was being truthful, but everyone thought she was just being modest.
