Chapter 78 He Is Backing Her Up
"Is it Ms. Owen?" Boss of FEEL Jewelry asked.
"Yes!"
"Very well, I assure you, I will explain this to her thoroughly. Your company's reputation will not be damaged."
"You'd better do it fast."
"I will call Ms. Owen as soon as I return to my office."
Austin adjusted his clothes and stood up. He gazed upon her and asked, "Are you pleased now?"
Freya was indeed very pleased with the outcome right now. She smiled as she nodded at him.
Meanwhile, the boss of FEEL Jewelry asked cautiously, "Mr. Campbell, what about your acquisition plan for our company..."
Without even turning back, Austin just said, "I have no interest in your small company."
The boss of FEEL Jewelry, instead of feeling ashamed, just wished that Austin had no interest. If he did, his company would be doomed. To have Austin uninterested in the acquisition was a blessing in disguise.
Freya was shocked. This man directly came to the boss to discuss acquisitions with him. No wonder the boss of FEEL Jewelry was frightened and acted so subservient in front of him, treating him as if he were the almighty God.
Jessica apologized and the client was retained. Freya was relieved and her heart was filled with gratitude as she looked at the tall and handsome man in front of her.
After all, he had spared his precious time to accompany her and used his power and influence to clear all obstacles for her, so she could achieve a favorable outcome. He deserved great credit for it.
"Austin, may I treat you to lunch this noon?" Freya asked with a smile as they entered the elevator.
"I'm afraid I'm not available. Perhaps next time," he declined coolly.
Freya felt a little disappointed and bit her lip, saying, "Oh, I see. Next time, then."
"Don't forget to bring me breakfast for the next month." Austin reminded her.
"I know." How could Freya ever forget?
"And, tonight, I'll arrange a meeting between my parents and Daniel. You should come."
Freya felt her heart tightened when thinking about meeting his parents. She imagined them to be authoritative and strict, for they had raised a son like Austin. What if they tried to take Daniel away from her?
Austin narrowed his eyes as he saw her nervous expression. He furrowed his brows and reassured her, "As I've told you, you can relax. My parents only want to see their grandson. They won't take him away."
"Alright." Freya reluctantly agreed.
To be honest, she didn't want to keep in contact with the Campbell family.
Austin dropped her off at the company and left. Freya headed straight to Linda's office. As she pushed open the door, Linda saw her relaxed smile and immediately knew that everything was going well.
"With Austin's help, things just worked out as you hoped. Did you get it done that quickly?"
"Linda, you're right. He gave the boss of FEEL Jewelry invisible pressure by just sitting there."
"That's because of his wealth and status."
No matter what, the burden that had been weighing on Freya's chest was finally lifted.
After a short while, Linda came to tell her that Ms. Owen had chosen their design and had also apologized to her and their company. There were no more misunderstandings.
Freya had a sense of accomplishment. As a designer, she felt greatly satisfied that her work was acknowledged and cherished by the client.
"Oh, by the way, Natalie hasn't made the final payment yet. However, I heard her diamond ring has been shipped back by air to the country and she may already have it."
"Why hasn't she made the final payment?" Freya frowned and asked.
"That's why it's being taken seriously. Her final payment amounts to over 200 thousand dollars, so we need to keep an eye on this. When the time is right, I'll mention it to her."
"Okay!" Freya had seen through Natalie. She thought, "How come she still won't pay? Does she have a few tricks up her sleeve?"
After being slapped by her last time, did she still try to seek revenge?
Amber was indeed a vindictive person. That slap had left her seething for days, and she didn't sleep well for several nights. From childhood, she had been the apple of her parents' eye, and her husband had been doting on her since they got married. However, she was slapped by Freya, a loser she had looked down upon. How could she ever accept such indignity?
However, tomorrow would be her fourth wedding anniversary, so she was too busy to cause trouble for Freya. Yet, she would find another way to tarnish Freya's reputation.
Amber sat on her large sofa with her eyes glimmering with resentment. There was another thing that she could use against her. She had lured Austin, but she certainly didn't have the courage to tell him about the child. Therefore, she just needed to let him know that Freya had an illegitimate child. How could he still like her then?
Around 3:30 in the afternoon, Freya received a call from Austin. He told her that he would pick up Daniel in the afternoon, and the bodyguard would wait for her downstairs at her company to pick her up. She could directly head to the hotel for dinner, and he had already made a reservation.
Freya accepted the arrangement, as she had an unfinished design draft in her hands and she still needed to work on this.
At approximately 4:30 in the afternoon, sitting in the passenger seat of Austin's car, Natalie was excited and couldn't wait to see what her nephew looked like.
Austin's car arrived at the exclusive reception area of the campus. Austin immediately spotted the little figure sitting on top of the slide, and the little boy, catching sight of the car, kept waving at him and went down the slide.
"That... must be the little boy." Natalie who was sharp-eyed quickly spotted Daniel.
"Yes! Let's go! Let him meet his auntie." Austin asked her to get off the car.
The little boy was dashing towards them, thinking that Mommy and Daddy had come together to pick him up. But why was there another woman standing beside Daddy? He suddenly stopped running, his big eyes instantly filled with disappointment. He pouted his mouth, looking as sad as a lost puppy.
Austin swiftly sensed the change of his son's emotions and walked toward him, asking, "Son, what's the matter?"
"I wanted only Mommy to pick me up. I don't want to see Daddy bringing any other ladies." The little boy mumbled and looked down at the ground, with an upset expression. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Austin wanted to laugh but had to hold it back. Then he crouched down and looked at his little face, saying, "She's not just any other woman."
"Then who is she?" the little one frowned and asked.
"She's Daddy's sister, your auntie," Austin explained with a smile.
Wide-eyed, the little one blinked his eyes and looked at the pretty girl by his side, asking, "Are you my auntie?"
Natalie leaned forward, putting her hands on her knees, and looked down at him, saying, "Yes! Little guy, who did you think I was?"
"I thought..." The little boy bit his lower lip and was too embarrassed to tell her.
Feeling a little annoyed, Austin pinched his small nose and said, "You're just like your Mommy when you have a sulky face."
"Daddy, I'm sorry!" the little boy hung his head and apologized immediately.
