Further Entanglement Wi...

Freya's eyes-clear as a mountain spring and just as deep-locked onto Kristian's. Kristian struggled to read her mind. "Scared to be caught on record?"

"Hardly, Freya replied, her gaze drifting from his chiseled features to Isaac sitting just behind him. “But before we kick things off, could you maybe set your phone down, Isaac?"

The request stunned Kristian.

Isaac appeared equally surprised.

Always the cunning strategist, Isaac casually placed his phone aside and rested the newspaper on his lap. feigning confusion. "What's going on?"

Now, Kristian's contempt for his father deepened.

"The phone hidden under the newspaper," Freya clarified gently. "That message should go to the secretarial department, correct?"

Her simple observation astonished both men.

Isaac glanced at his son, his eyes silently asking, "What do we do about Freya? She's exceptionally perceptive." Kristian's gaze responded, "How would I know?" Kristian never anticipated Freya would discover their ploy. He had always believed in his father's talent for manipulation but hadn't expected Freya to outmaneuver them.

"What?" Isaac projected innocence so convincingly that anyone would believe he was genuinely bewildered. Melinda, completely puzzled, assumed Freya had made an error, given Isaac's seemingly authentic confusion. Freya, however, possessed specialized training that made her far from gullible.

"It's nothing," she replied, choosing not to pursue the matter. After exchanging pleasantries with the elders, she added, "I need to attend to some matters, so I'll be taking my leave now. I'll visit again when time permits."

Melinda rose from her seat. "I'll walk you out, Freya"

Freya accepted, sensing Melinda likely had something to discuss privately.

As the women departed, everyone watched them leave. Isaac set aside the newspaper and turned to Kristian. "Freya is too clever. It's fortunate she's divorcing you."

Kristian stared at his father, perplexed. Did he even comprehend what he was saying?
