Catherine shrugged. "Freya, our company needs to improve, so you need to learn. Although you’re already doing well, you haven’t been going out to widen your experience. This explains why your product development hasn't been progressing. Moreover, you're the core of our company. Although our sales are pretty good, our plan is to rise to the top little by little. The products you're developing aren't good enough, and I believe you know this better than anyone else."
Freya kept quiet. Of course, she knew that she was facing a bottleneck. If she went there to learn, she would be able to go a long way in her career. Nevertheless, she was worried about Dani...
"I know you’re worried about Dani," Catherine said, "If you attend the training, I’ll help you look after Dani. I can even send her to the Hill family's manor. I'll look after her as though she's my biological daughter, and I think everyone in The Lodge will take care of her very well too. Think about it carefully. This is a golden opportunity. Let me know your decision tomorrow.”
Freya held the document and left the office absentmindedly.
She definitely wanted to attend the training. However,
Dani was very reliant on her. It would be hard for her t o part with Dani.
It was good for Dani to stay in The Lodge, but the people there were not her closest family members, after all...
When she returned to The Lodge at night and carried her, it would be even harder for Freya to part with Dani. She would feel sorry for Dani.
"Is something weighing on your mind? I noticed that you had a poor appetite during your meal."
A voice suddenly sounded above her head. Ryan clasped her in his arms from behind.
Freya was shocked. "What are you doing? This is the living room. Aunty Loretta..."
"She's watering the plants at the back."
Freya furrowed her brows. "Cathy secured an opportunity for me to go to Quel’s medical aesthetic research institute for a two-month training. I..."
She bit her lip. "I’m torn."
Ryan grasped the point. The smile on his face faded, and his eyes slowly deepened. "You can't bear to part with Dani, right?"
"Mm." Freya nodded. "I'm hesitating whether to go or not. Dani is still so young, and she has never parted with me for such a long time.”
"Besides Dani, there's no one else you can’t bear to part with, huh?" Ryan's handsome face darkened with a look of despair.
Freya froze. By the time she came to her senses, she was embarrassed. "No. Because... Dani is still young. After all, I gave birth to her. Of course, I... I can't bear to part with you too...”
