Chapter 1126: The organization was stacked with talent-plenty could hold their own against Ellis, but that never fazed him. He barely gave the upcoming tournament a second thought, quietly certain they'd bring hanother win.
"That's all I needed to hear," Freya replied, letting the topic drop.
With their work there finished, Freya gathered her things, already making plans to head home.

He had always been direct with her, and she trusted him without question.
So, she decided to fly back with Alan instead.
She barely set foot on the private jet before Alan started peppering her with questions about everything she and Ellis had gotten up to during their trip. Freya didn't bother sugarcoating a thing-she laid out every detail, no filter.
But Alan wasn't interested in her trip narrative. He circled back, steering the conversation straight to what he really wanted to know. He leaned forward, lowering his voice to a hushed whisper. "So, when exactly are you planning to propose to Ellis?" "I'll handle the venue setup the moment I get back," Freya answered, scanning her calendar for any conflicts. With her schedule wide open, she figured there was no point in putting it off-sooner was better.
But a proposal couldn't be rushed. Beyond basic decorations, she was determined to pull off an unforgettable drone show-something dazzling, intricate, and absolutely one of a kind.
The coding itself was easy. It was the creative vision—the choreography, the patterns, the perfect timing-that would take real work.
"You're moving fast!" Alan blurted out, his nerves barely masked by an awkward laugh. "Aren't you waiting for him to propose first?" Freya shrugged, her tone even but resolute. "Who says I have to wait? I'll do it myself." Even as she spoke, her mind raced through possible drone formations. She wanted the whole city talking about this-bold, grand, impossible to ignore. Alan, on the other hand, was already plotting behind her back. The second their plane landed, he found an excuse to slip away, immediately dialing Ellis. He didn't give away Freya's plan, but he urged Ellis-subtly but insistently-to get a move on and propose.

For a spectacle like this, she'd need every helping hand she could get.
Romantic gestures weren't her strong suit, and she knew it. So, she called her friends together at Greta's place, hoping a group brainstorm might save her from a lackluster proposal.
Sprawled across Greta's cozy living room, everyone listened as Freyan explained her plan in clipped, practical tones.
Greta jumped in first, eyes lighting up. "Simple! Have the drones light up the sky with words: "Ellis, I love you." Instant showstopper."
She flashed a grin, already picturing the spectacle. "Go make it m unforgettable/Everyone in the city will see it!"
