Chapter 265
That morning. Freya had barely been busy for long when she received the official acceptance notice from the Al Journal.
A little while later, Johnny came over to discuss work. Upon learning that her paper had been accepted, he wasn’t surprised.
After all, with Nolan, such a respected authority, backing her, if Nolan thought her paper was good, there was no way it wouldn’t be approved
After they finished discussing work, Ireya checked the time and asked, “Want to grab a bite to eat together?”
Johnny rubbed his brow and, looking slightly troubled, said, “I already have plans.”
Freya looked up. “What’s going on?”
Johnny pursed his lips and sighed. “…It’s a blind date, arranged by my grandfather.”
Freya burst out laughing. “You’re 28, and this is your first blind date? You’re lucky, honestly.”
Johnny: “…”
Actually, his family wasn’t in a rush about his marriage. The blind date was with the granddaughter of one of his grandfather’s friends, and since his grandfather couldn’t refuse, he had to go along with it.
Freya said, “Well, go ahead then. I’ll eat in the cafeteria.”
Johnny nodded. “Okay.”
Half an hour later, Johnny arrived at the restaurant.
It was a very romantic couple–themed restaurant.
When he arrived, the woman was already there.
As he was settling in, Levi arrived with his companion. He immediately spotted Johnny sitting at the table, though Johnny had his back to him and
didn’t notice him.
Levi raised an eyebrow and, with his companion, sat down at a table behind Johnny.
Although Johnny was speaking softly, Levi, sitting close behind him, could hear him talking to his blind date, confirming that Johnny was indeed on one.
Noticing that Levi’s attention wasn’t on him, his companion was about to speak, but Levi put a finger to his lips, signaling her to stay quiet.
Excited, Levi pulled out his phone and secretly took a picture of Johnny and his blind date. He then sent it to a group chat with Matteo, Harry, and
Raven.
“Guess what’s happening?”
“Hint: This is a couple’s restaurant.”
Harry, who had just finished work and was about to head out for a meal, checked the new message and immediately recognized what was happening.
He glanced at the photo but didn’t reply.
Matteo and Raven also didn’t respond.
Frustrated at the lack of attention, Levi eagerly typed, “??? Where are you guys? It’s mealtime, why is no one replying?”
Harry still didn’t respond.
At this point, Raven finally sent a message.

Levi perked up. Smart as always, you must know what’s going on, Fight?”
Raven having also guessed from the picture, smiled and replied, “A blind date?”
Yes!
Raven smiled and didn’t respond further
Although Raven hadn’t attended Old Madam Wilson’s birthday banquet a few days ago, she had heard that Mrs. Gray was very pleased with Freya and said that if Freya and Johnny were ready, she could arrange their wedding anytime.
Raven had felt it was too contrived at the time.
She suspected Mrs. Gray didn’t really understand Treya’s situation. If she did, she wouldn’t have spoken so casually about the wedding.
In other words, Mrs. Gray likely had no idea about Freya’s past, particularly about her previous marriage with Matteo. If she did, she would never approve of Freya marrying into the Gray family.
With Matteo and Harry still not responding, Levi tagged them both.
When neither replied, Levi turned to Raven. “Is Matteo not with you?”
Raven answered, “No, he had to leave this morning for a business trip.”
Levi nodded, “Okay.”
As soon as he finished typing, Matteo finally appeared in the group chat.
“Read.”
Then, he followed up with another message.
“At a social event. You guys chat.”
After that, he didn’t appear again.

After Harry got in his car, he didn’t bother to keep up with the conversation and replied, “Got things to do, chat later.”
Then, he left the chat.
Levi stared at his phone, slightly frustrated.
Seeing that neither Matteo nor Harry cared about his gossip, Raven typed again, “I’m going to have dinner now, talk later.”
That afternoon, Freya went to the R&D department for a meeting.
During the meeting, Glen was also present.
As Freya accurately pointed out the problems and quickly proposed solutions, Glen sat there, quietly observing without speaking.
Once the meeting ended and Freya was about to leave, she noticed Glen’s gaze. She stopped for a moment and asked, “Is it your first day here? Are you adapting well?”
Glen responded, “Yes, I’m adjusting well, thanks for asking.”
Freya nodded and didn’t say more. She grabbed her laptop and left the meeting room.
The following days were a busy blur for Freya as she handled both work and discussions about the copyright agreement with the Al journal.

Three minutes later, tilen knocked and entered
Once seated, Freya began. “The algorithin you wrote has improved the existing model’s efficiency and performance to ups news, bra bursed met my expectations.”
She then started discussing where his algorithm fell short.
Glen listened attentively.
He had been at Cole for three or four days now, and had interacted with Freya a few times. Compared to the first impression he gave during the interview, his personality was quite different.
But Freya, perhaps indifferent to these things, didn’t seem curious or surprised at his change,
In fact, on his first day, he’d given her a bouquet of yellow roses as an apology. But over the past few days, Freya had never once brought up, as if the hadn’t received them at all.
She showed no curiosity about why he had apologized either.
Glen already knew from the interview how capable she was professionally, but after seeing her handle work firsthand, he realized the was even more impressive than he had imagined.
Though he was known as a genius in the Al field, in front of Freya, he felt like he hadn’t even begun to touch the surface. She was not only more talented than the big names he had met in A country, but also far more innovative.
The most important thing was…
Once she finished speaking, seeing that Glen hadn’t left, she looked up and asked, “Any other questions?”
Glen looked away, stood up, and said, “No.”
Freya nodded and didn’t say anything further.
Glen left to get back to work.
