She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 121

Chapter 121 Freya's Capable Assistant-

"Sir, this must be a misunderstanding," Gerard pleaded, his stomach knotting with dread for the difficult days looming ahead. "I truly believe you and Ms. Briggs belong together-a perfect match."

Kristian deliberately set down his fork, glancing up from his breakfast with measured calm. "Yet you suggested Trent would suit her better, didn't you?"

Gerard stood frozen in shock.

What foolish remarks had spilled from his lips during last night's drinking session, and how had Trent become entangled in this mess?

"Since you hold him in such high regard, you can work for him starting today," Kristian announced, dabbing his mouth with elegant precision as he finished his meal. "Someone as unremarkable as myself clearly doesn't merit your exceptional talents."

"I-I was completely wrong," Gerard stammered, panic rising in his chest. “You can't possibly take seriously the nonsense I babble when intoxicated. I swear, in my heart, you are way better than Mr. Seymour."

Kristian rose from his chair with deliberate slowness. "Do you mean that?"

"Absolutely!"

"And why should I believe anything you say now?" Kristian challenged.

Gerard declared desperately, “If I speak even one false word, may I be immediately terminated from Shaw Group and left with nothing to my name."

"Well then, consider yourself fired," Kristian replied coolly.

"Please don't!" Gerard felt his world crumbling around him.

If only he had resisted drinking with Kristian!

Kristian observed Gerard trailing behind before unexpectedly calling out, “Aren't you coming? Do you genuinely wish to be terminated?"

Gerard blinked in confusion before his shoulders sagged with relief. “I'm right behind you."

Together they departed the villa, Gerard sliding behind the wheel while continually monitoring Kristian"s expression in the rearview mirror.

"Recap what you discovered last night," Kristian instructed from the back seat, his tone unchanged.

"The individuals who attacked Ms. Briggs were definitely hired hands, but they've completely vanished without leaving any trace," Gerard answered, his demeanor shifting to professional seriousness. "I considered asking Ms.
