No More Layovers for a Love That Won't Land novel Chapter 57

“It’s fine,” Freya replied.

She hadn’t expected it to be a one–of–a–kind gown, and she felt a little disappointed.

The store’s gowns ranged from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and some even surpassed a million. However, after seeing that gown, even the most expensive ones in the store seemed rather plain in comparison.

In the end, Freya chose a simple yet elegant off–white silk gown with delicate floral embroidery.

While she was paying for it and having the gown wrapped, she overheard two salespeople talking

nearby.

“This necklace and gown together cost over 3 million dollars. It’s like wearing a villa. Rich people are really extravagant,” one of the salespeople whispered.

“That’s true. And this gown will probably only be worn once…” the other one replied.

3 million…

Freya was taken aback. Even if she could afford it, she wouldn’t be willing to spend such an amount on a single gown.

She shook her head and left the store.

Back home, Jessica called to invite her out for a big dinner.

When she learned that Freya would be attending a banquet the next evening, Jessica rushed over the next afternoon to personally do her makeup and styling.

Freya had a good eye for fashion, and with the gown she had chosen and Jessica’s careful makeup, she looked graceful, elegant, and perfectly presented, with a clean and beautiful aura that radiated

confidence.

That evening, when Johnny came to pick her up, he was immediately stunned when he saw her. “You look beautiful. This gown suits you perfectly.”

“Thank you,” Freya replied with a smile.

As they got into the car, Johnny said, “So, you’re officially returning to the company tomorrow?”

“Yes,” Freya answered.

“Perfect timing. Raven will also be officially joining the company tomorrow. I’ll introduce you to her-” he began; but then realized she might not know who Raven was.

He quickly added, “She’s the genius in algorithms I mentioned last time.”

Freya’s expression froze for a moment. “Raven? You’re telling me her name is Raven? Is J for Jungle in her name? She’s the one who just returned from Country A?”

Johnny nodded, surprised. “Yes, do you know her?”

“She’s my half–sister,” Freya said, her voice flat.

Johnny was stunned.

He knew a bit about Freya’s family situation, but he hadn’t expected this coincidence.
