The group had been seated for quite a while, enjoying their meal, yet Matteo and Vinny hadn’t exchanged a single word.
Upon hearing this, Matten picked up a napkin and wiped the corner of his lips. He glanced at binny and smiled. “I’ve indeed considered it. What do you think, Mr. Gray?
Johnny, naturally, wouldn’t miss the opportunity for business.
“It’s an honor for us at Cole to have Mr. Wilson’s attention.”
If Matteo and Johnny truly formed a partnership, Raven would be pleased
After all, if the two men started getting closer, her chances of interacting more with Raven would increase. It would then be easier
for her to win him over.
Thinking of this, she cast a cold glance at Freya,
Freya had mostly been talking with Professor Liam. Though he paid some attention to the others at the table, he didn’t seem too
concerned.
If Johnny really wanted to collaborate with Matteo, she had no objections. There was no reason for her to turn down potential profits.
As the meal neared its end, everyone began to rise, as it wasn’t necessary to remain seated once the food was finished. Those with business intentions would gather by the nearby sofa to discuss.
Matteo had only casually mentioned the possibility of working with Cole during dinner, but whether this would come to fruition, Freya wasn’t sure.
However, Kevin, who was dining with them, seemed genuinely interested in collaborating.
Sure enough, before the meal was even finished, Kevin and the management team he brought were already chatting with Johnny.
Freya followed them over.
When it came to technology, Freya was proficient. As for the negotiations, that was Johnny’s domain.
Freya sat quietly, rarely speaking. But when she noticed Johnny’s cup was empty, she took it and said, “I’ll refill it for you.”
Johnny smiled. “Thanks.”
Seeing Freya acting as Johnny’s secretary, Raven and Lauren were now more certain that Freya’s role at Cole was likely to be nothing more than assisting Johnny.
Freya, holding the cup, turned around and took a few steps. As she got closer to Matteo, someone near her suddenly pivoted, unintentionally bumping into her.
Freya lost her balance for a moment, and before she could steady herself, she fell forward, landing right into Matteo’s arms.
Everyone around them froze.
At first glance, it seemed like Freya had been knocked over, but who could say for sure if it was truly an accident?

After all, what were the odds that she would fall straight into Matteo’s arms?
Moreover, Freya was extraordinarily beautiful, with a slender figure, soft curves, and skin so fair it resembled milk.
Though Raven was also quite beautiful, many of the men present still thought Freya was the more stunning one.
To have a woman like her deliberately fall into one’s arms was… well, let’s just say it sparked some thoughts in the minds of many
men there.
But Matteo was different.
With a cold expression, he gently steadied Freya by her shoulder and immediately pushed her away, showing no sign of being distracted by her beauty.
It wasn’t until she was pressed against him and inhaled his familiar scent that Freya realized she had fallen into Matted’s arms.
Once she registered what had happened, her expression turned neutral. She stood up straight, munered an Tm sorry,” and turned is
walk away.
Raven and Lauren, too, were now convinced that Freya had deliberately thrown herself into Matteo’s arms.
Lauren scoffed and said to Raven, I told you she couldn’t just sit still.”
“But no matter how hard she tries, it’s useless.”
Because Matteo wasn’t moved in the least.
“True,” Lauren smiled. “Matteo’s reaction really does give you a sense of security.”
Raven smiled sweetly and lowered her head.
Logan furrowed his brows. He felt he had misjudged Freya. Who would’ve thought that such a quiet woman could have so many tricks up her sleeve?
Noticing the situation, Johnny paused his conversation with Kevin and quickly walked over to Freya.
“Are you alright?”
Freya shook her head.
“Did you sprain your ankle?”
