Seeing Kieran come to Freya's defense was more than Eloise could stomach.
There was a time when Kieran couldn't stand Freya, and Eloise had front-row seats to the show. Kieran not treating Freya like dirt was already a surprise, let alone speaking up for her.
What was happening? Could it be that Kieran was considering marrying Freya?
Meanwhile, finally feeling safe from being followed, Luna sighed with relief. She patted her chest and said, "Thank goodness they didn't follow! Kieran's truly something, isn't he? Bringing a whole entourage like that. You'd have thought they were shooting some Hollywood blockbuster if you hadn't known it better.."
Then, turning to Freya, Luna scolded, "And you! Why did you even bother bailing Kieran out? You should've just let him and Eloise go at it. Now, look at what it's gotten you—everyone's painting you as some seductress after Mr. Sutton. It’s just not worth it."
"I wasn't saving Kieran. I was saving myself," Freya replied.
After learning her lessons the hard way in the past, Freya wanted nothing to do with Kieran. The farther he stayed from her, the better. Besides, wasn't Kieran all into Eloise?
This time, she'd step aside and let these two star-crossed lovers have their moment.
Just then, Freya's phone rang.
Seeing it was Audrey calling, Freya frowned and wondered what Audrey wanted at this time.
She picked up and heard Audrey's cold voice. "Freya, I'm sending the driver to pick you up. We need to talk."
