Chapter 158 Unfounded Criticisms
Freya’s brow furrowed as Abigail thrust an invitation card into her hands. Was Nathaniel planning to invite her to his wedding?
She would have to attend, of course.
Nathaniel’s voice on the other end of the phone was flat, almost du. commanded, before abruptly ending the call.

With a sigh, Freya gathered her laptop from the desk in front of her. Instead of returning to the Design Department to drop off her computer, she headed straight for the elevator.
Whenever Nathaniel summoned her at the office, it was never about personal matters. He would undoubtedly want to discuss the recent planning and design for East Seaville. Conveniently, she had a basic sketch saved on her computer that she could show him.
Upon reaching the 28th floor, Freya exited the elevator and made her way to Nathaniel’s office.

Nathaniel watched her, his heart filled with frustration. Hadn’t she heard about his impending marriage?
However, he quickly dismissed this thought when he “Happy” printed on it in Freya’s hand. The sight was
ed the golden invitation card with the word
nch to the gut.
Nathaniel’s deep–set eyes grew colder, his brows furrowing in displeasure.
