In the morning Freya got up early packed up her things and went home by 10 she reached her residential house ,she was completely drenched in sweat so she took a long bath and completed her pending work of military as after 2 days they have to start their mission in city B so she had to check all the access of the place.
While buried in her work, A loud ringing of her phone destroyed her concentration Freya frowned her brows she sighed put down her work in confidential areas and locked her study. Her study was highly equipped with latest technology. All her data has been kept in this study but not too important though. Freya locked the door with her iris and went out.
Freya looked at the phone id and sighed her grandpa is never stopping his calls until she picks it up.
The stopped phone again rang without looking at the idea she annoyingly said
"Grandpa humph why are calling me continuously I was doing my work "
"Freya listen to me you have promised that you will attend the event today afternoon when are you coming? This old man is tired of waiting for you"
"Where are you Freya and work I had informed your senior about your schedule how dare they give you work, wait this old man will call and ask general "
Freya waited till her grandpa's mumbling finished than she said
"Grandpa about the work it was my choice and secondly for the event im not sure about it let me think grandpa ,you already know what will happen if anyone recognizes me as a general, I don't want to add more trouble on my shoulders which I already have, and you know I don't like socializing it's an awkward for me and I don't have a proper attire to wear ,it's annoying grandpa I don't want to attend ''
Freya had many other reasons but she didn't want her grandpa's heart to break when he learns about her reasons of not going.
First is Coleman family secondly that she will attract all the media on her mainly was her family she wanted to avoid the most was the family she had accustomed to become only a spectator of Coleman family.
When Marco heard Freya's words, he instantly understood her reason of not attending the banquet, he thought of other ideas
"Freya don't try to fool this old man I know the reason of you not attending the event but at least give some face to this old man and do attend ,you know how hard it had been on me while seeing you in those situation where a `14 year innocent girl tried taking her life, Freya if you love this grandpa of yours than stop being stubborn for once and listen to me"
She clearly remembered the scene where she had tried to take her life by using knife, she had seen how bloodless face had become of her grandpa he had tears while holding her and slapping her face, that was the first time her grandpa had ever raised his hands on her.
He was very angry that he didn't even visit her when she was hospitalized, he had ignored her existence for 2 months and that was a great torture as well as guilt overshadowed her judgement she went down to her knees and asked for his forgiveness.
Freya was in a deep thought when her grandpa's concerned voice heard from the phone her thoughts got broken
"Freya are you there? hello Freya''?
"Yes, grandpa I know what I have to do but now I don't have a proper attire".
"you don't have to worry about that im sending Collin over your place with your dress, you be on time it starts by 8 "
"ok grandpa and I have 2 conditions though"
"hmmm what condition?"
"Grandpa I don't want to attend as a Coleman neither as a general hope you can keep my identity as secret, I hope I can leave early".
"ok I agree with your condition but you have to listen to my too, Freya today you have to stay beside me for the whole event I will not disclose your identity?''
''hmmm ok grandpa I will be there but late I still have some work to finish "
''ok but come''
"ok grandpa bye"
With that Freya ended the call just than the doorbell rang her grandpa knew her answer very well he was prepared for this event.
She shook her head at her grandpa's actions to make her emotional blackmail
She wanted this headache to be over soon, Freya who was dressed in a shirt and shorts pulled a jacket over her and opened the door.
"Freya this is the dress grandpa told me to give and all the necessary things you require and he told me to be your escort for today ….''
Collin who was speaking continuously paused looked at the bag which he has extended was not received at looked at Freya who had folded both her hands on her chest a was looking at him
"Collin you finished speaking"?
"Yes Freya"
"Ok than how you reached this early grandpa had already planned this right?''
Collin avoided Freya's gaze
"Ok tell grandpa I got the dress and you no need to accompany me I will directly arrive at the venue just text me the address of the location "
"But Freya grandpa told me to be your escort ...…."
"No need for that I will be arriving late so you go without me and inform grandpa."
"No Freya grandpa will be angry with me he told me to be there with you otherwise he will cancel my holidays please Freya …."
Collin knew for sure what grandpa Marco will do when he sees Freya didn't come with him.
"No Collin I have some work to do "
Collin knew Freya was a stubborn person, she will not change her mind when she decides upon something.
''Ok Freya this is the invitation and come on time "
"Ok then bye"
"Wait Collin"
"Who selected this dress"?
Freya looked at Collin waiting for answers
"You might not like the answer"
"Just answer Collin".
"Your mother but she didn't know whom she was choosing you don't have to worry about anything."
"And that's only thing we had for last minute so don't even think of not wearing it"?
Freya looked at the bag in which dress was kept but there were no emotions in her as if they have completely disappeared, she didn't speak so Collin who was nearby coughed in order to bring her out of her zone
Freya looked Collin and said ''okay I will be there "
With that she closed the door without waiting for answers Collin looked at the door which was closed in front him, he was not sad as that was Freya's usual behavior.
After finishing her coffee Freya looked at the time it was 1 hour remaining for the banquet and she had to finish her work at the company.
So, Freya pulled out her a hoodie with a pair of trainees along with a bra and also took the dress which she didn't open yet, and got in the car.
