Chapter 1155:
By the tevening rolled around, something clicked in Freya's mind. If she controlled the drone herself to drop
the ring during the proposal, it would feel off—neither cool nor romantic.
She needed someone working behind the scenes, someone who could release the ring at just the right moment.
Now that would be romantic.
She quietly slipped out of Ellis’s arms and grabbed her phone, ready to message Alan.
Greta and Riley were buried in work. Ethel could operate a drone, sure—but she was so wrapped up in her
binge that she'd be unreliable.
Alan was the best bet. He had free time, and this could double as rehearsal for his own future proposal.
As she got up, Ellis paused the movie and looked over. “Everything alright?”
“Bathroom,” Freya said casually, phone in hand as she walked off. That one little move immediately set off alarm
bells for Ellis.
He knew how rarely she touched her phone—unless she got a call or a text, she barely even looked at it.
But lately, she had it with her constantly—even when heading to the bathroom. That wasn’t her style at all. She
was clearly hiding something.

Freya had no idea she’d triggered his suspicion. She ducked into the bathroom and sent a message to Alan.
When he didn’t reply, she called him without hesitation.
Alan picked up immediately. “I need your help!”
Freya blinked. “What happened?”
Alan fired over his location. “If you don’t cnow, I'll die!”
Confused, Freya pressed him for details—but then he fell completely silent, like he’d never said anything at all.
She didn’t really think he was in danger—but she decided to check just in case. Alan had always looked out for
her, after all.
She slipped her phone into her pocket, opened the bathroom door—and nearly collided with Ellis, leaning
casually in the hallway.
She said, momentarily caught off guard, “Do you need the bathroom?”

“Nope. | was just waiting on you.”
“Waiting on me? Why?” She blinked, genuinely puzzled.
His eyes swept down to her phone, and he spoke with a lazy drawl, tinged with amusement. “So, how was it?”
“What?” Freya blinked again.
“You brought your phone into the bathroom.”
