Chapter 76 His Thoughtfulness
"One month? That feels like an eternity!" Yet Freya had no time to think about it. At this moment, she found herself agreeing to everything he asked. "Alright, I promise you. Can you meet me downstairs? I'll be waiting for you at the gate."
"Very well!" He replied in a deep voice.
After the call, Freya patted her chest, her heart pounding wildly.
"He agreed?" Linda asked excitedly as she saw the relieved expression on Freya's face.
Freya nodded and said, "Yes! I'm going to see him now. Linda, are you sure this will work?"
"You are bringing Austin along. Who at FEEL Jewelry would dare to defy him?" Linda joked. With Austin's help, this matter was bound to be easily resolved.
Freya furrowed her brow. Did this guy have that much influence? But then again, since she was always absorbed in her artwork, how could she know about the intricacies of the business world?
Linda patted her shoulder and said, "I knew you could persuade Austin."
"Don't flatter me. Once is enough for this kind of thing. Don't involve me in such things again in the future." Freya replied with a bitter smile.
She grabbed her bag and rushed out of the office. Here was still quite far from Austin's workplace. She had to rush there, in case she would keep him waiting.
He had a volatile temper and was unpredictable. If he changed his mind, what was she supposed to do?
Austin drove out of the garage and waited at the gate but didn't see Freya. When he looked around, he suddenly spotted her crossing the road. Someone who was rushing to work ran the red light, and the car almost hit her. The driver managed to hit the brakes just less than two feet away from her.
After the narrow escape from death, Freya's slender figure ran towards him.
Austin's heart skipped a beat and he held his breath when the car was about to hit her.
Did this silly girl ever pay attention to the road? What was the rush for?
Freya was drenched in a cold sweat. Catching sight of Austin's car, she hastened towards it, opened the passenger door, and entered. She was gasping for air before she could utter a word.
As she turned her head to speak to him, she was startled again by his dauntingly cold face. She blinked and asked, "What's the matter?"
"You're such an idiot." Austin scolded through clenched teeth.
Freya felt unjustly accused. Why was she called foolish?
In the silence, suddenly her stomach growled... Freya's face flushed, feeling embarrassed. She hastily clutched her stomach, realizing she hadn't even had water since last night's dinner at six o'clock. No wonder her stomach was growling so loud.
"Didn't you have breakfast?" Austin frowned at her and asked.
"I had some urgent matters to attend to, and I didn't have time. It's not a big deal though, let's go somewhere first!"
Austin knew there was a fancy breakfast restaurant nearby, so he didn't wait for Freya to tell him the place. He simply started the car and drove ahead.
Freya asked in surprise, "Where are we going?"
"To have breakfast." Austin gave a short and cold reply.
This woman couldn't even take care of herself. How could he expect her to care for his son?
Freya felt a little speechless as she looked at him. Perhaps it was best to let him take her to breakfast. The thing she was about to tell him could wait for now.
After they arrived at the restaurant, Austin only ordered a cup of tea for himself. However, he ordered an array of dishes for her, even including a bowl of expensive bird's nest soup.
Looking at the lavish spread of delicacies on the table, Freya felt he was feeding her too much food.
"Take your time." Austin raised his eyebrow and said.
Freya had to consume her sumptuous breakfast slowly. Meanwhile, she told him what happened in the company. Austin furrowed his brow while listening intently. It was nothing new that people resorted to plagiarism for interest in the business world, but he had never thought that Freya would fall victim to this.
"So, I'm hoping you can do me a favor and ask FEEL Jewelry to give back my design." Freya pleaded, her eyes shimmering with hope. "Will you help me?"
"OK!" Austin nodded. His eyes narrowed as he noticed that she only had a few bites of the pastries. He frowned and asked, "Why are you eating so little?"
"I've already finished the most expensive ones. I can't eat any more of these." Freya protested, puffing her cheeks. She never had much of an appetite for breakfast.
Austin looked at her slender figure and gave in, saying, "All right, let's go!"
"Wait, let me have these dishes packed. I know someone who will be happy to have these."
"Who?"
"Didn't you notice, in the corner of the parking lot, there was an elderly gentleman? He seemed hungry too. I can pack up those uneaten for him." Freya said and asked the waiter over to pack the remaining breakfast items.
Austin watched her with a flicker of admiration in his eyes, asking, "Shall we pack a few more?"
Freya's eyes brightened, asking, "Is it Okay?"
"Of course."
Walking out of the restaurant, Freya carried five boxes of breakfast in her hands. While Austin went to retrieve the car, she approached the tattered elderly man, leaving the breakfast beside him before walking away.
After she got in Austin's car, they headed straight to FEEL Jewelry.
On the way there, Freya was nervous and also felt a burning fury surging through her body. She despised and was angered by those who disrespected and exploited her hard work.
FEEL Jewelry was a large jewelry design company that had gained widespread recognition in the country.
As Austin parked the car outside the company, Freya gazed at the grand signboard of FEEL Jewelry. Suddenly, she turned to the man by her side and asked, "Don't you usually go out with bodyguards? Why not today?"
Austin saw her through immediately and asked, "Do you think I need bodyguards to look imposing?"
Freya forced a smile and replied, "I didn't mean that."
"Get off the car!" Austin said, glaring at her. This woman had underestimated him.
Freya opened the car door and stepped out. Taking a deep breath, she gathered up her courage and walked towards the reception desk.
"Excuse me, could you tell where Jessica's office is?"
"She's on the tenth floor. You can ask about it there," the receptionist responded distantly. Suddenly, her expression changed as she noticed the man walking in behind Freya. He was tall and handsome and had a commanding and magnetic aura that could easily steal women's hearts. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Instantly, the receptionist greeted him warmly, her voice dripping with sweetness, "Sir, how may I assist you?"
Witnessing the receptionist's sudden change, Freya grew irritated. She suddenly held Austin's arm and said to her coldly, "We're together."
The receptionist turned green-eyed as she watched Freya holding the arm of the captivatingly handsome man.

Freya didn't let go of his arm until they got to the elevator. After they were in the elevator, she smiled awkwardly and explained, "Sorry about that. I just couldn't bear to see them being so snobbery."
