Catherine''s mouth twitched. "I think their looks are eptable, considering that they look elegant and decent with beautiful features. Of course, they''re


    iparable to Patrick, Rodney, and Ryan. You must know that it''s rare to find a capable, handsome, and kind family man."


    Freya was speechless.


    She had been in touch with some wealthy people in Canberra. Although Shaun and Chester were very handsome, many noble and wealthy men had long be bald and fat. It was good enough that they could fix those problems. Patrick''s good looks were probably why Linda kept pestering Patrick shamelessly. As for Rodney, he had good looks too, which exined why Sarah treated him as a backup.


    Fine. She had better not care too much about one''s appearance.


    Perhaps it would be safer to have a partner who was less handsome.


    Just like that, Freya was chatting mindlessly with the men. Nevertheless, it was a


    bit hectic to chat with the men while working. In particr, they were always chatting about what they were up to, what food they liked, as well as their hobbies.


    Sometimes, Freya had to answer two people the same question, so she felt rather annoyed.


    From her observation, Connor always bragged about his ability and assets, whereas Louis was so materialistic that he tried probing her to find out whether she was close to the executive council. As for Jack, he was alright. Given that he was also involved in research and development, he had a fewmon topics with her. However, he was less humorouspared to Ryan.


    She was probablyparing Jack to Ryan because she had been chatting with thetter every day.


    Even when they were not chatting, Ryan woulde up with some funny jokes, which made her double up withughter.


    At times, she wondered how Ryan found so many jokes.


    Christmas was drawing near. Jack asked Freya out, and she agreed to meet him after hesitating for a while.


    It was because she wanted to feel the atmosphere on such a festive day. Another reason was that she wanted to get into a new rtionship, so the first step was to meet him.


    She deliberately put on a maroon woolen coat on Christmas. A lot of people looked old-fashioned in it, yet she looked striking due to her good looks and big eyes.


    When Ryan left the house and ran into her this morning, his eyes shed with a trace of amazement. At the same time, he had a sinking feeling. "Did you dress gorgeously today because you have a date to go o n?"


    "I''m having dinner with Jack," Freya said openly.


    Ryan''s handsome face froze a little. "Didn''t you say he''s boring?"


    "Yeah. He''s boring but honest. I''ll just meet him first. Anyway, we''re not together yet," Freya said with a grin, "After all, I need to meet him to find out what kind of person he is."


    I see...


    Ryan lowered his dark eyes despondently and sighed." Fine. I thought of asking you and Dani out to shop around on Christmas. It looks like I''ll be alone. It''s okay. I''d better head home early and apany Dani."


    At the sight of his glum look, Freya was slightly guilty. It felt as though she had suddenly abandoned him." You should''ve told me earlier so that I wouldn''t have agreed to meet Jack today. Now that I''ve promised him, it won''t be nice of me to go back on my word."


    "Am I that important?" Ryan suddenly looked up, looking touched.


    Seeing his face made her feel so embarrassed that words of constion escaped her mouth. "Of course.


    You''re much more important than Jack."
