Chapter 262

Freya would surely rue the day she didnโ€™t cling tighter to the Sutton family, the mighty oak tree of social stature and power.

Meanwhile, in the bustling confines of Sutton Group, Kieran emerged from the conference room, his strides confident and purposeful, only to find Flavia perched in his office. His brow furrowed in displeasure at the sight.

โ€œWho let you in?โ€ he demanded in an icy tone.

โ€œNo one was around, so I walked in,โ€ Flavia replied, her voice laced with a carefree chuckle.

Across the desk was an array of dishes Flavia had prepared. It was a hearty lunch comprising three dishes and a soup, all seeming quite lavish for a midday meal.

โ€œI wasnโ€™t sure what you liked, Mr. Sutton, so I prepared several. Hope it suits your taste,โ€ Flavia said, approaching him.

But Jarrett stepped in before she could get closer, effectively blocking her path. โ€œMs. Miller, Mr. Sutton is exhausted and needs to rest. Please leave now.โ€

โ€œWhat do you mean? When I arrived, you told me to leave, and now, after waiting for half an hour, youโ€™re asking me to leave again? Are you deliberately making things difficult for me?โ€ Flaviaโ€™s brows knitted together in visible annoyance.

Kieran, however, walked over to his desk, dialed a number on the desk phone, and spoke in a detached tone, โ€œCome up now.โ€ He hung up abruptly, not giving Flavia a chance to argue.

Seeing Kieranโ€™s cold expression, Flavia suddenly felt a rush of panic.

โ€œI dislike people entering my office without my knowledge, and even more so when they litter my desk withโ€ฆ garbage,โ€ Kieran stated coldly.

โ€œWhat did you say?โ€ Flaviaโ€™s face flushed with humiliation. โ€œI cooked for the first time for someone. Donโ€™t you think youโ€™re being a bit too harsh?โ€

Kieran remained emotionless, signaling the security guards who had just arrived. โ€œEscort her out,โ€ he ordered.

โ€œYes, Mr. Sutton,โ€ they acknowledged, approaching Flavia to lead her away.

Flaviaโ€™s complexion turned ashen. โ€œKieran! What is the meaning of this? I am your fiancรฉe. How can you treat me this way?โ€

Her cries caught the attention of others in the office, quickly making her the subject of office gossip.

โ€œThought Ms. Miller had Mr. Sutton all figured out, but it looks like sheโ€™s another joke.โ€

โ€œShe canโ€™t handle this? Sheโ€™s no match for Ms. Dawson, then.โ€

โ€œGuess Ms. Miller is out of the picture now.โ€

Whispers filled the air as Kieran glanced disdainfully at the desk laden with Flaviaโ€™s efforts and instructed Jarrett, โ€œClean this up.โ€ โ€œRight away, Mr. Sutton.โ€ Jarrett swept the dishes into the trash can with practiced ease, which the security promptly removed.
