No More Layovers for a Love That Won't Land novel Chapter 272

Chapter 272

Old Lady Miller had some friends and family from X City come to the capital to visit her.

In the morning, after Freya had finished her meeting, the old lady called and asked her to join them for a meal

Standing by the elevator, Freya was waiting for it to arrive when Charlie Lane, the newly hired general manager at Cole, along with Matteo, Chad, and the others, walked toward the elevator as well.

Seeing her, Charlie was the first to greet her. “Miss Miller.”

Freya nodded in acknowledgment. Charlie wasn’t sure whether Freya knew Matteo.

However, he knew that during the few days Matteo had been at Cole for business talks, it seemed like Freya and Matteo had never met.

Seeing that Freya didn’t greet Matteo when she noticed him, Charlie assumed she didn’t recognize him and thus introduced him. “Miss Miller, this is Mr. Wilson from Wilson Group.”

Then, he turned to Matteo and said, “This is Miss Miller from Cole’s R&D department.” Freya didn’t look at Matted. She simply said, “I know.”

Matteo, however, glanced at her and said to Charlie, “No need to introduce us. We’re quite familiar.”

Charlie froze for a moment. He looked at both of them, then back to Freya.

Quite familiar? Sorry, but he really couldn’t tell.

Not voicing his thoughts, he awkwardly chuckled and said, “I see…”

Freya didn’t say anything. Matteo smiled and didn’t speak further either.

Charlie: “…”

At this point, he finally understood–Freya clearly didn’t want to interact with Matteo.

This was quite consistent with what he’d seen from Johnny as well. He wasn’t sure what kind of past there might be between Matteo, Freya, and Johnny.

However…

Matteo wasn’t an ordinary person. The company was about to cooperate with him, yet both Freya and Johnny had treated him with such indifference.

Despite this, it seemed like Matteo didn’t mind their cold attitudes…. Thinking this, Charlie didn’t know whether to feel relieved or troubled.

Just as he was about to break the silence, Matteo’s phone rang. He quickly answered it. “You’ve arrived? I’ll come down now.”

After Matteo hung up, the elevator arrived at the first floor. Charlie smiled and said, “Miss Brown is here to pick you up for a meal again? You and Miss Brown have such a good relationship.”

Matteo smiled, just as he was about to reply, his phone rang again. Seeing that it was something important, Charlie didn’t press the issue.

When the elevator reached the ground floor, Freya didn’t look back as she stepped out first.

She walked out the door, heading for the parking lot, and saw Raven waiting by the car.

Their gazes met.

Raven’s eyes were cold and indifferent, when she saw her. Freya was the first to look away and walked towards her car.

Raven also shifted her gaze, and only when she saw Matteo behind Freya did her expression soften.

No More Lavovers for a Love That Won’t Land

Chapter 272

As Freya got into her car and was about to drive away, she noticed Raven handing her car keys to Chad, then getting into Matteo’s care

Freya retracted her gaze and drove off, putting Matteo and Raven’s situation out of her mind.

At the restaurant, after finishing the meal and seeing Old Lady Miller and the others off to their car, Freya was about to get into her own car and head, back to the office when she saw Rex coming out of the restaurant.

As soon as Rex saw her, his brow instinctively furrowed.

The last time he had met Freya was when Matteo came to Cole to find her.

In the time since, he wasn’t sure if there had been further developments between Freya and Matteo, but he had heard that the two companies were working together now.

He wondered if this opportunity would lead to something more between them… Although he didn’t say anything, the frown that appeared when he saw her told Freya everything she needed to know about his thoughts.

Without greeting him, she simply got into her car and drove away. Rex also got into his car and returned to the office.

His negotiations with the Brown family were already in progress. Around 3 p.m., his secretary came over and said, “Mr. Hardin, Miss Brown has arrived.”

Rex paused. “Miss Brown?”

“Yes,” the secretary confirmed. “Miss Brown said that her father caught a cold, so she’s here in his place to discuss today’s business cooperation.”

At this, Rex’s eyes flickered with a hint of surprise. He immediately stood up and quickly headed toward the meeting room.

When he entered, Raven immediately apologized. “Sorry, my father is unwell, so I’m here in his place to discuss the cooperation-”
