After a long banter, Peyton realized something and said, “Oh my gosh! I was so focused on myself! Freya!” She chuckled and whispered, “Is there something you need my help with?”
Hearing that touched Freya as she said, “Are you free to talk, Peyton?”
Peyton could be heard striding to a corner before stopping at a much quieter spot. Freya whispered, “I’ll transfer some money to you later. I want you to help me buy a house.”
This stunned Peyton as she chuckled and said, “Did you finally get rich? I heard people talking about you lately, and they said that Nathaniel had given you a lot of money! This has gone viral in our city!”
“Hmph! I want to tell them that you’re already rich to begin with and Nathaniel’s money was taken from your family in the first place…” Peyton paused as Freya’s family tragedy was everyone’s pain.
Freya chuckled and said, “I’m fine, Peyton. Don’t worry about it. My family will always live on.”
“Oh, so what kind of house do you want me to buy?”Peyton changed the topic.
After a brief pause, Freya said, “A second hand one. I want one that has a normal looking courtyard. You know, the same one we bought when we had to make our escape. Please ask if any houses were on sale. It’ll be awesome if the courtyard has a garden. Do not buy it with my name. Do it with yours. I just need to hide something in the courtyard. I don’t want people to know about this.”
