Since Freya’s desk was positioned where the camera could capture the entrance, she quickly realized that he had entered and immediately adjusted the camera.
Due to the angle and height of the camera, the other participants could only see a tall, poised man entering the room. His presence alone exuded an air of authority, but they couldn’t see his face.
Initially, some of Freya’s colleagues had assumed there was some romantic tension between her and Johnny. Later, they learned that Freya was already married with a grown–up child.
However, Freya rarely discussed her personal life, so they had no real knowledge of her husband.
Given how beautiful and capable Freya was, the colleagues were curious about her husband. After all, what kind of man could marry such a beautiful, talented woman?
Now, Freya’s husband was finally in the picture, but to everyone’s surprise, Freya immediately turned the camera
away.
As the others were about to tease her, Matteo spoke first: “Still working?”
Freya turned to look at him and replied calmly, “Mm.”
Matteo nodded and didn’t say anything else. He went to the wardrobe, grabbed some clothes, and went into the bathroom to shower.
Freya watched him go, then returned her attention to her work.
As the meeting continued, two female colleagues in Freya’s team couldn’t help but comment, “Your husband’s voice is so nice.”
Matteo not only looked good, but his voice was also incredibly attractive. Freya felt a bit embarrassed at the compliment and could only answer, “Thank you…”
By now, it was getting quite late. Everyone still seemed keen to continue working, but they all realized it would be bad to overwork.
Johnny decided to wrap up the meeting after dealing with the remaining tasks, leaving the rest for the next day or
two.
However, the meeting was still ongoing, and Matteo had already finished showering and come out of the bathroom, while Freya was still working.
Just as Freya was still working, Isabella returned. She ran to the door and called out, “Mommy-”

Freya turned to look when she heard the voice. Before she could speak, Matteo had already responded, “Mommy is working.”
Isabella stopped herself from saying what she had planned and watched as Freya walked over to Matteo. She leaned in close to him and whispered, “Daddy, can I sleep with Aunt Raven tonight?”
Matteo nodded, “Sure.”
Isabella happily hugged his neck, forgetting to lower her voice, Thank you, Daddy!”
Freya, seeing that the meeting was now over, closed her laptop and got up to speak with Isabella. But just as she was about to say something, she noticed Raven standing at the door.
Freya paused and pursed her lips.
Both Matteo and Isabella also noticed Raven.
Matteo stood up and walked toward the door. Not long after, the two of them left together.
Isabella, seeing this, was about to follow but stopped when she noticed Freya’s expression, which seemed off. She hesitated for a moment and quietly called out, “Mommy…”
Freya withdrew her gaze, then began tidying up the papers and books on her desk. She asked, “Did you shower?”
“Yeah.” Isabella nodded.
Freya didn’t ask who had helped her with the bath. Instead, she asked, “Are you tired?”
“A little…” Isabella responded quietly.
“Well, if you’re tired, go to sleep,” Freya said softly.
“Got it, Mommy. You get some rest too.” Isabella sighed in relief.
“Mm, I will. Good night.” Freya smiled warmly.
“Good night, Mommy.” Isabella also sweetly replied.
After speaking, Isabella walked over and gave Freya a hug before happily leaving the room.
Freya tidied up, grabbed her clothes, and was about to head to the bathroom for a shower.
When Matteo and Isabella left, they didn’t close the door.
Freya thought that Matteo likely wouldn’t be returning tonight. As she was about to close the door before entering the bathroom, she walked toward it and nearly bumped into him, who had come back unexpectedly.

Looking at the perfume on him and the lipstick marks, it was obvious they had shared an intimate kiss before leaving the room
Freya didn’t want to think about it anymore.
Half an hour later, after finishing her shower and coming out, she saw that Matteo was reading a book.
To her surprise, the book in his hands was one she had brought with her. Freya’s expression darkened.
She wasn’t happy about him helping himself to her things without asking. Just as she was about to speak up, Matteo noticed her displeased look and said, “Do you mind?”
Freya was a little bothered, but after realizing that the book didn’t contain any sensitive company–related information aside from a few notes she had made when she first read it, she calmed down and replied, “A little.”
Matteo met her gaze and said, “Okay, I’ll ask next time.”

Next time? Freya thought to herself. She didn’t think there would be another chance where they were forced to share a bed due to bring away from home.
