Chapter 622:
To him, it probably felt like an interloper had crashed a well-oiled duo. She found it natural, of course—she knew
Ellis well. But Melvin didn’t, so his instinct was to put up his guard.
At ten sharp, Ellis arrived at the company.
Freya had already given the receptionist a heads-up, so he was sent straight upstairs to her office without a
hitch.
He'd been expecting to see Freya—but was met with Melvin instead.
Inside the lounge, Melvin eyed Ellis’s striking features and silently thought that Ellis really looked like someone
Freya would be into. His brow creased slightly, remembering Gerard's message from yesterday. “I saw Ms. Briggs
with a ridiculously handsguy. Is that your competition?” Melvin had already told Gerard the whole
heartbreak story was made up, but the guy was still convinced—and had cooked up the idea that the person
Melvin liked was none other than Freya.
“Hi, I'm Melvin Swain, Ms. Briggs’s assistant,” he said, shoving the thought aside and keeping his tone crisp. “Are

“Great. Sign here and I'll walk you through the onboarding,” Melvin said in his usual brisk, professional manner.

“Ms. Briggs, your friend's here,” Melvin announced as he entered, Ellis a step behind him.
Freya froze for a moment, surprised, but quickly regained her composure and gave instructions. “Show him
around and introduce him to the rest of the secretarial team.”
“Sure,” Melvin replied without hesitation.
“And you handle his assignments,” Freya continued, her tone precise. “He doesn’t have much background in our
field, so start him off with the basics.”
Melvin gave a nod. “Understood.”
“You can go now.”
“Alright.”
Melvin turned and led Ellis out.
As they exited, Ellis threw Freya a look loaded with meaning, but she completely missed it.
