When Freya decided to catch a cab to Audrey’s villa, the driver knew he'd be toast if Audrey saw it.
With that thought, the driver immediately jumped into his car, eager to catch up to Freya.
Seeing the driver hot on her heels, Freya couldn't help but let out a chilly laugh.
The boss was too soft, allowing the employees to walk all over. After all, Freya was Ms. Dawson, the guest, and the driver was merely an employee, acting so rudely on behalf of the boss.
She had swallowed her pride before. But this time, she wouldn't stand for it anymore.
Soon, the taxi pulled up at the grand entrance of Audrey’s villa.
Audrey had moved out. This villa was in an upscale neighborhood even though it was not the Sutton family's main house.
When Audrey glanced through the window and saw Freya stepping out of the cab, her face darkened, and she exclaimed, "What's this? Didn't I send Zack to pick you up? Where is he?"
"Mrs. Sutton, I... I don't know what happened." The nearby servant was clueless.
Zack had gone to pick her up!
"This is preposterous! Now, the whole neighborhood will laugh at me!" Slightly infuriated, Audrey descended the stairs.
Seeing Freya had already entered from the outside, Audrey approached and said, "Freya, what happened? Didn't Zack come to pick you up?"
Freya answered, "Audrey, Zack did come, but... he seemed to prefer Ms. Harwood's company, so I left the car."
