For the next few days, Freya did not see Ryan when she returned to The Lodge. However, she did hear Heidi and Nathan talking about Ryan’s matters during mealtimes.
"Do you think Ryan's place should be refurbished?” Heidi said excitedly, "If Summer joins our family, she might not like Ryan's bedroom because it looks too cold. Girls like warm tones."
"Alright. But where will Ryan stay if his place is under renovation?"
"He can stay in the guest room or our building. The Lodge is so big. Will we ever run out of rooms?" Heidi grinned. "Isn't that right, Freya?"
"Oh! Um, yes," Freya replied with her head low.
"Child, you haven't been talking much recently. Are you feeling down?" Heidi asked out of concern.
"I'm just thinking about our company's celebration this year." Freya forced a smile. "Freycatheli's sales has made it to one of the top three in Australia this year, so the company is hosting a celebration tomorrow night. There are quite a few things to sort out." "That's great. Freycatheli is getting better and better.
The last time I went to a banquet, a few madams had mentioned you, and they were full of praise. I felt honored because of you," Heidi said with a smile.
Freya nodded in agreement. “By the way, Godmother, our company will be starting our annual leave next week. I'm thinking of bringing Dani back to Melbourne."
Heidi gave the idea some thought before nodding. " That's good. You should spend more time with your parents. I'll inform the Snow family for you. You can bring Dani over to visit Old Master Snow once you’re back."
"Thank you, Godmother."
Freya let out a breath of relief.
Although Heidi and Nathan had always been kind to her, The Lodge had been so stressful lately that she felt suffocated.
She wanted to live in a place without Ryan for some time.
Perhaps upon returning, she would feel the same as when she got a divorce - calm and indifferent.
The next day, during the grand celebration of Freycatheli.
