Freya turned around, only to see Ryan dressed in a dark suit. A ray of gorgeous light shone on his elegant, handsome face. He might look gentle with a smile, but she knew that in reality, he was restrained and stoic, just like his father, Prime Minister Snow.
"I received an invitation card, so here I am." Ryan shrugged. "Where's Rodney? You look unhappy without his company."
"He's over there." Freya then went quiet for a moment. "Ryan, have you heard of Mr. Micheal?”
Ryan shook his head. "What gives?”
"Can you help me nose around on him?" After some thought, Freya said, "Last night, Rodney didn't come at all. He said that Mr. Micheal is an expert in lithium batteries, and I'm not quite sure about it."
"You think he’s lying to you?" Ryan frowned. "I don't think he would."
"What do you mean?"
"Based on my understanding of him, he wouldn't sink so low as to lie to you even though he speaks harshly and has a low EQ." Ryan said, "He’s a direct person, but he doesn’t really know how to hide things."
Deep down, Freya chuckled. She had thought the
same as well.
That was why she still could not stop dwelling on it ever since Rodney lied to her.
"Perhaps I'm overthinking it. Please help me to find out about it.” Freya pursed her lips. "I have no idea who to ask for help. Since you're here and considered my little brother, how about you do me this favor?"
"A brother who's three months younger than you?" Ryan darted a helpless yet doting look at her. "You might not feel ashamed to call me your little brother, but I'm too shy to acknowledge it."
Freya said dispiritedly, "That's too bad you were born three months later than me. Your parents were the ones who acknowledged me as their goddaughter."
Ryan choked before laughing out loud. "Fine. I’ll do you this favor and give you an answer tomorrow morning."
"So soon?" Freya was astonished.
"Duh. It’s just a small matter.” Ryan shrugged. "I'm currently in charge of immigration, so I can just check it using the computer."
