Chapter 829:
“Farrah.” In that moment, she truly understood Farrah.
Farrah was still upset. “Yeah?”
“When the baby comes and you're ready to work again, letknow.” Freya's tone was firm now, with no trace
of teasing. “I'm here to support you in your career.”
Farrah blinked in surprise before smiling softly. “Alright.”
They chatted for a while longer before Freya pulled out her phone to call Melvin. She intended to ask him to have
PR handle the trending divorce story.
But the second the line connected, Melvin beat her to it. “I've already dealt with the trending topic. The posts are
gone.”
“What?” Freya paused.
“You were calling about the topic of you and $1.4 billion, right?”
“Yes.”
“No need to worry—I've taken care of everything.”
Freya double-checked her phone. Sure enough, all the posts had vanished.

She was stunned by how fast he’d moved but relieved all the same. “Thanks. You've done a great job.”
“Actually,” Melvin hesitated, as though something was weighing on him.
“Yes?” she answered.
“Can you be my little sister?”
Even Freya couldn't immediately wrap her head around that.

When she didn’t reply, Melvin assumed she hadn't quite understood and rephrased his request. His voice was
calm as ever. “Being just your subordinate worries me. One day, you might fireand leavebehind. But if
you were my sister, | could always stay close and protect you.”
“You...” Freya began, suspicion creeping in.
“Don’t worry. | don’t have romantic feelings for you,” Melvin said quickly, clearly afraid of being misunderstood.
“Gerard tested me.”
At Gerard's name, Freya felt a wave of emotion stir. “What kind of test?”
“He asked if I'd ever thought about holding hands, hugging, or kissing you. If | had, that would've meant | was in
love with you.” Melvin’s voice remained cool and steady. “But | haven't. Unless you're drunk, fall, or get hurt, |
won't ever hug you.”
Freya was caught off guard. She didn’t know how to reply. He was always so direct.
He asked again, genuinely, “Would you be willing to be my sister?” All he wanted was to solidify a bond with her.
“You don't need to worry about me
firing you or anything. Loull ghey
be a key part offi (rerational.”
Freya felt he was being overly
anxious. “We're also good friends.”
“That's not enough.” Melvin didn’t hide his thoughts.
Freya couldn't help but chuckle.

Freya didn’t argue over things like this. “Alright.”
Melvin’s expression stayed unchanged. Her response had been too casual. He'd have to find another way.
