151: It's All Because of You

It's All Because of You

After leaving the villa, Connor hailed a taxi and rushed home.2

Connor was lying in his cold bed alone. When he recalled Xena's alluring body, he felt a little disappointed.

If not for Freya's call, Connor would have already finished his 'activity' with Xena. He would be lying on the big bed in Xena's house with Xena in his arms.

"Sigh, my luck in love has been a little overwhelming recently! Forget it. Let's not think about this anymore. I still have to register my marriage with Freya tomorrow!" Connor sighed softly, then closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.

The next day, at 8 AM.

Connor brought his identity card and household register to the cosmetics company where Freya worked.

Freya's office was located in the southern part of Porthampton. It was neither big nor small, with about seventy to eighty people.

After entering the company, Connor found the interior decoration very stylish. It had the aura of a listed company.

"Hello, sir. Are you looking for someone or something?" the beautiful receptionist asked Connor softly.

"I'm looking for Freya!" Connor replied indifferently.

"Sir, I'm sorry. Ms. Phillips is in a meeting. Why don't you go to the waiting room and wait?" the receptionist quickly said.

"Sure!" Connor nodded and walked into the waiting room.

The receptionist poured Connor a glass of water enthusiastically.

Connor sat on the sofa in the reception room and glanced around the office.

Connor's gaze landed on the company's conference room a moment later.

As the meeting room was covered in glass doors, Connor could see Freya inside the meeting room, but he could not hear what she was saying.

Freya's expression seemed a little agitated as she argued with a middle-aged man in a suit.

"Has Freya encountered trouble?" Connor could not help but wonder.

"Connor?" At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly said his name.

Connor was stunned for a moment. He turned and realized that the person who was talking to him was none other than Freya's cousin, Maya.

"Why are you in my cousin's office?" Maya walked to Connor and asked with a puzzled expression.

"This is my fiancée's office. Can't I be here?" Connor asked.

"You…"

Maya glared at Connor and whispered, "How shameless. You and my cousin are only husband and wife in name. Don't you know that?"

"What's wrong with your cousin today? I think she is quarreling with someone in the meeting room."

Connor was not in the mood to bicker with Maya. He hesitated and pointed at the meeting room.

"You still have the cheek to ask? It's all because of you that my cousin got into an argument!"

Maya became even angrier and glared at him.

"Because of me?" Connor was surprised and very puzzled.

He could not understand what Freya quarreling with someone else in the office had to do with him.

If Freya had not called him here today, Connor would not have known that Freya ran a cosmetics company.

"I've never been to this office before. What does their argument in the conference room do with me?" Connor asked Maya.

"Don't play dumb with me. My cousin and the others quarreled in the meeting room because of you. Why would Mr. Shenaur Jr. cancel his investment in Freya's company if not for you? If Mr. Shenaur Jr. didn't cancel his investment in Freya's company, why would these shareholders come and cause trouble?" Maya pouted and said softly.

"Mr. Shenaur Jr.?"

When Connor heard this, he could not help but be stunned.

Then, she recalled that the rich kid who confessed to Freya last night was called Mr. Shenaur Jr..

"Maya, can you be more specific? How is today's incident related to me?" Connor hesitated and asked Maya seriously.

Maya rolled her eyes at Connor and said disdainfully, "Hah, you're just a delivery guy. Even if I told you, you won't be able to solve any problems. Why do you want to know so much?"

"Freya is my fiancée. Can't I show some concern for my fiancée?" Connor said in a low voice.

"You think you're something? If Freya didn't have a useless fiancé like you, how could these people bully her to this extent?"

Maya seemed to feel sorry for Freya as she spoke harshly.

"What's going on? Can you explain it to me clearly?" The more Maya said this, the more anxious Connor became. 

When Maya saw Connor's agitation, she could not help but be stunned. Then, she said softly, "This company is Freya's own cosmetics company. The main products are all cosmetics produced in Oprana!"

"And?" Connor quickly asked.

"When the company was established, Freya took ten million dollars from her family as start-up capital. She thought ten million dollars would be enough for a long time, but after the company officially opened for half a year, she realized that the response to our cosmetics in the market was not very good. This is because most consumers prefer to use foreign brands. My cousin has used up all the ten million in start-up funds, but the company still hasn't improved. It's always in a state of loss!" Maya whispered.

"What does what you're saying have to do with this?" Connor asked anxiously.

"Sigh, patience! Can't I tell you the details slowly? If you don't want to hear them, I won't tell..." Maya rolled her eyes at Connor and snapped.

"Okay, spill…"

"Freya's family thinks this cosmetics company has been losing money, and the market response is not very good, so they want her to give up this company. However, Freya has always wanted to build a cosmetics brand that belongs to Oprana, so she is very reluctant to do so. Because of this, Freya has often quarreled with her father!

"Ultimately, my uncle couldn't persuade Freya and agreed to let her continue running this cosmetics company. However, he wouldn't give my cousin any more financial support. Moreover, some time ago, my uncle's company also had financial problems." Maya frowned and said slowly.
