This was Ryan, who was like a friend and a family member to Freya.
It was so awkward that she could pass away. Her eyes were burning.
Her mind was buzzing. What was she supposed to do.
In an instant, Freya acted as if she did not notice it a t all. Then, she pretended to be calm and walked over. “Did
you just wake up? You’re still brushing your teeth. You can finish brushing your teeth first, then.”
Ryan thought, ‘Miss Lynch, you want to act calm and pretend like you didn’t see it, but can you not blush so hard?’
He would feel awkward too, okay?
“Mm, then I’ll go brush my teeth. Wait for a moment.”
Ryan quickly went into the bathroom and closed the door with a bang.
Freya was startled when she heard the door close. She felt like dying.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtF*ck. Why did she still enter the room? She should have left. She even made Ryan hide in the bathroom.
After debating for a while, Freya went to the bathroom door. “Ryan, I just remembered that I have something to do.
I’ll leave first.”
“Oh.”
Ryan did not ask her to stay.
That was because he did not know how long he needed to calm down.
In the morning, Freya was observing the liquid in the measuring cylinder she was holding at the laboratory.
As she stared at it, she suddenly recalled the scene earlier in the morning. She became absent-minded.
She stretched her thumb and index finger and placed them against the length of the measuring cylinder…
“Miss Lynch, what are you doing?” A researcher of
the laboratory asked when he passed by Freya’s side.
Freya’s hands trembled. Then, her whole face turned red.
She was crazy.
What was she doing? She was actually thinking about Rodney’s size.
What was happening to her?
Was she feeling lonely after having a divorce? It could not be.
Freya did not feel good.
“Miss Lynch, your face is very red. Do you have a cold?” Her colleague observed her worriedly. He hoped Miss
Lynch would not take time off again. The company had many new products waiting to be developed, and Miss Lynch
was the laboratory’s core member.
“No. Maybe it’s too hot in here.”
Freya fanned herself with her hand. Then, she pulled herself together and continued working.

Freya: [What are you talking about? I don’t understand.]
Ryan: [… I know you saw it this morning.]
The temperature of Freya’s face that finally went down rose again.
Enough was enough. Could Ryan not pretend as if he did not notice it?
Freya: [???]
Anyway, she would not admit it.
Ryan: [Stop pretending. Your face was as red as an apple this morning. Seriously? You even have a child. I’m more
innocent than you.]
Freya: [Enough. Why are you still discussing this with me if you’re innocent? Besides, you may be pure on the
outside, but who knows whether you’re pure or not on the inside?]
Ryan: [Wow, Sis. You’re so knowledgeable.]
