Freya gestured for the man accompanying her to place the food box on the table.
“Mr. Ramsey, this is a gourmet lunch Chef Bud Weber ordered specifically for you. It just Harmonfield. ved in
“I thought this rare treat would be better shared, so I invited Shirley to join us. Hope you don’t mind?”
Seeing Freya speak so respectfully to someone like Robin, Maya felt an undeniable pang of jealousy.
And she was shocked–the Wrights had even arranged for the president of the Draconia Gourmet Association to personally prepare this meal! Not only that, but Freya delivered it herself.
It was unfathomable to her.
It wasn’t just Maya who was shocked by what was happening.
The entire second floor of the Blue Bay’s casual dining area buzzed with excitement at the arrival of Freya and Shirley. Guests whispered among themselves, their curiosity piqued by the unexpected scene.
“What’s going on? Harmonfield’s two goddesses are both here?”
“Hey, is that really the Shirley Dunn? It’s so rare to see her in a place like this!”
“She’s been in Harmonfield for years, yet I’ve never seen her at these kinds of events.”
That’s Freya, the mayor’s daughter! And she’s a top–ranking colonel in the Draconia military now!”
“Now Ms. Wright is a standout in the Draconia’s military, a big shot at the rank of colonel!”
“She’s actually gracing this place with her presence?
“What kind of man can make two goddess–like women from Harmonfield bow to him?”
“He doesn’t look all that remarkable to me.”
“I heard he just drove here in a Land Rover worth ten of thousands–just some low–level guy. It’s strange.”
Witnessing all this made Maya feel increasingly uneasy
She was convinced Robin must’ve tricked Freya and Shurley somehow. She stepped forward.
“Freya, men like him from the bottom rung are the best at pretending. Don’t let him fool you! Does he really deserve such an honor?”
“Enough!” Freya turned to Maya, visibly irritated.
“Mr. Ramsey is the president of the Dunn Group Eastyle Development Company and a dear friend of mine and Shirley’s. Not to mention, he’s my grandfather’s lifesaver. Do you still think he’s unworthy?”
“What? You’re telling me he’s the president of Eastvale Development Group? Why would someone of his status drive a car worth only a ten of thousand? Maya was sure she must have misheard.

Shirley chuckled coolly, “That’s right. Robin is indeed the president of Dunn Group Eastvale Development Company.
“So what if he drives a car worth only ten of thousands? Does he have to be behind the wheel of a luxury car worth over a million to be considered upper class?
“Robin is a valued guest of the Dunns and a VIP to me personally. If you look down on him, you’re looking down on all of us. Are you really in a position to act this way? You’re just a small–minded person.”
Hearing Freya and Shirley speak, Maya glanced at Robin, feeling mixed emotions.
Freya had asked her to sit with Robin first to help them get to know each other better.
By inviting Shirley along the midway, the intent was clear! It was all to facilitate her signing the contract for the Eastvale project with the Dunn Group.
