The distance was a bit far, so she couldn’t clearly discern the emotion in Matteo’s eyes, but she did notice that he seemed to smile
Was he smiling at her?
Maybe she was overthinking it.
Freya, feeling a bit confused, looked away.
Levi also noticed this and asked, “What’s so funny?”
Matteo smiled and said, “Nothing.”
Levi didn’t pay much attention to it.
He noticed that when Freya looked at them – especially when she looked at Matteo – she seemed as calm as if she were looking at a stranger, raising an eyebrow.
He wondered whether Freya was still playing the cat–and–mouse game of pretending to be indifferent to Matteo or if she was simply displaying some kind of understanding.
If it was the latter, then, knowing that Matteo didn’t want to publicly acknowledge their marital relationship, it made sense that she would keep her distance from him, avoiding any sign of their connection, whether it was at the banquet or now at the exhibition.
To be honest, Freya seemed quite considerate in this respect.
At that moment, Raven approached. “What are you two talking about?”
Levi quickly responded with a smile, “Nothing.” Then he asked, “Have you finished your conversation?”
Before Raven could answer, someone walked over with Professor Liam.
“This is Professor Liam, the one I mentioned earlier – the algorithm genius, Miss Brown.”
This was the same Professor Liam who had been introduced to Freya at the banquet by Johnny.
That day, when Raven had gone to find Johnny, Professor Liam had naturally seen her, but since Professor Liam was rather unremarkable in appearance, and Raven had not attended the banquet to meet figures from the tech field, she hadn’t noticed him.
Now, upon seeing Professor Liam again, she didn’t recognize him at first.
That day, Raven and Johnny seemed to have had some unpleasant interaction, but Professor Liam had been engaged in conversation
with Freya and hadn’t paid much attention to what had happened.
Now, when seeing Raven, he didn’t bring up the previous events but instead smiled and greeted, “Hello, Miss Brown.”
“Hello.”
The Brown family’s tech company was in urgent need of some talented individuals in the field. Upon learning about Professor Liam’s background, Raven was extremely polite, and Logan also made a point of greeting him.
Soon, Raven and Professor Liam began talking.

With so many exhibits at the event, there were plenty of topics to discuss, and they engaged in a lengthy conversation.
However, Logan and Lauren didn’t understand the technical details.
Logan said to Raven, “Does Johnny really value her that much?”
