Chapter 26 Improvisation

At a crossroads, Gerard chose the right path, while Kristian deliberately veered in the wrong direction.

He watched, curious about Freya's next move.

But Freya didn't waste a moment contemplating her choice. Whether consciously

or not, between Kristian and Gerard, she would instinctively follow Gerard.

This lesson had been ingrained in her by Kristian himself.

Gerard glimpsed his boss heading astray and paused to call out, "Sir, Miss Briggs's room lies this way-you've

taken a wrong turn."

Kristian pivoted back toward them.

The trio resumed their journey together.

Kristian's eyes settled on Freya, who maintained perfect composure. "How did you know which way was

correct?"

"It's always right to follow Gerard's lead," Freya answered, dissolving his suspicions with those simple words.

Both men lapsed into silence.

Gerard fidgeted inwardly, genuinely worried about potential misinterpretations of his relationship with Freya. He'd accompanied her shopping, arranged her meals, and served as her chauffeur whenever she ventured out. What if his boss began to suspect something more? The thought truly unsettled him!

Kristian sighed with frustration, yet noting Freya's ordinary demeanor, he hastened his steps toward Ethel's hospital room.

He was merely testing Freya; business matters could be delegated later.

Meanwhile, Hugh smoothed his attire and asked Ethel to verify his appearance before inquiring, "Do I project authority?"

"Absolutely," Ethel responded.

"You mean it?" he pressed.

She nodded firmly. "Without question!"

"Enough to intimidate Kristian?" he ventured further.

"That's difficult to predict..." she replied candidly.
