As for Louis stepping in to defend Freya, that was normal. Any man with a shred of pride would feel embarrassed if his wife was being bullied; it didn’t necessarily have anything to do with how much he cared about her.
Getting close to Louis was a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity for Natalie. She wasn’t about to overthink it. It wasn’t like she had anything to lose. She’d just get close first and figure out the rest later.
What if Louis really ended up liking her–even if his wife was stunning, Natalie didn’t believe he’d turn down a woman already in his arms. Without a hint of hesitation or guilt, she let herself start daydreaming about tomorrow night.
Freya had no idea someone was already eyeing her husband like a hawk. Right now, she stood frozen, facing eight people lined up in front of her, momentarily at a loss for words.
She knew Louis moved fast when it came to business, but she hadn’t expected him to be this quick when it came to hiring people, too.
Of the eight people standing before her, the two in their twenties–a man and a woman who both looked exceptionally attentive, were clearly personal assistants.
The sharp, professional–looking man and woman were her work assistants. And the remaining four–two men and two women who radiated a commanding presence–were bodyguards.
“These are the people I chose after some careful screening. What do you think?” Louis handed her a folder of information, motioning for her to take a look.
professionals Freya flipped through it quickly and saw that all eight were highly qual with impressive resumes. Even the personal assistants had graduated from specialized academies she’d never heard of–and looked incredibly capable.
“I don’t really know much about this stuff. But if you picked them, I’m sure they’re solid,” Freya said honestly. Louis already knew how limited her background was.
“I’ve already briefed them all. If you need anything, just give them direct instructions. If there’s anything you’re not happy with, let me know. As for how to use them and where, that’s up to you.”
“Alright. I’ll think about it. We’ll probably need some time to adjust.” Freya gestured for the eight of them to sit down instead of just standing there.
The personal assistants would clearly spend most of their time in the villa or accompanying her when she went out. The work assistants would depend on what she chose to do next. The

After a moment of thought, Freya gave a general overview of her preferences and daily habits. That was about all she had to say. Louis added a few more instructions to the group, and they were told to get ready today and start working officially tomorrow.
Once the eight people left, Freya looked at Louis in shock. “How were you this fast? I thought this kind of thing would take forever!”
They were both sitting on the office couch. Louis tapped her nose playfully and said, “We’d already started looking. I just finalized the last one today. I know you’re not used to this stuff, but you’ll get there.”
Freya naturally leaned into his arms, touching her chin thoughtfully, then burst into laughter.
“Next time someone picks a fight with me when I’m out, I’ll just call for my bodyguards. They’ll show up like a wall of force and scare the heck out of them.”
“Honestly, with your way with words, you don’t even need bodyguards. You could crush them with a few sentences,” Louis said, remembering that girl they’d run into before. Freya’s righteous, commanding tone had left the girl completely stunned. You didn’t find that kind of presence in most social circles.
“No, you’re wrong. My strength doesn’t come from my eloquence,” Freya said with complete ‘seriousness.
Louis tilted his head, genuinely curious. “Then what is it?”
Freya looked perfectly solemn. “It’s the ability to stay clearheaded… handsome man.”

“That’s an absolutely remarkable quality,” Louis replied immediately, though inside he felt incredibly annoyed that his good looks apparently didn’t work on her.
“Damn right. It’s not easy being a hopeless sucker for good–looking guys and still managing to stay sane,” Freya added with a sigh.
Still, having assistants did lift her mood. Freya made a mental note to figure out what she wanted to pursue next. Life was too full of potential to waste. Writing novels and screenplays wouldn’t take up all her time, she could definitely do more.
Meanwhile, across town, storm clouds were gathering over Sophia’s world. Figuratively—and almost literally–lightning was about to strike.
“You said Dean was reliable. But now Dean can’t even protect himself. Even his dad’s got scandal after scandal blowing up all over the place. What am I supposed to do? There’s still a

ton of people online dragging me; I haven’t cleared my name yet. You’ve been trying to get in touch with Dean since yesterday–have you reached him or not?”
Sophia was doing everything she could to keep her anger in check. She didn’t want to fall out with Claire–she still needed her. But watching Claire fumble what should have been an easy win had her fuming with frustration.
“How was I supposed to know Mr. Dean was this unreliable? He’s supposed to be the heir to the Scott Group–the guy everyone thought ran it. And Ms. Savannah seems awfully close with Mr. Wells from Twitter, who knows what the heck is going on anymore?”
