Chapter 123 Visiting Briggs Group

"Yeah? What's going on?" Freya asked, her tone light, like the conversation was just a breeze blowing by.

"You haven't returned to work for two years and kept extending my time off. Is it because you married him?" Melvin contemplated the recent phone call and the cascade of events that had unfolded lately.

Freya acknowledged it without hesitation. "Yes."

Melvin posed one final question, his voice steady. "Is his name Kristian Shaw?"

Freya's eyebrow arched in surprise at his unexpected knowledge. "Yes."

Little did Freya realize that her dedicated assistant had already blacklisted Kristian from their professional sphere.

Melvin vividly recalled Gerard lamenting countless times about Kristian's abysmal leadership. In his mind, if someone failed so terribly as a superior, they must surely fail as a husband too. No wonder Freya had severed her marriage to Kristian.

Good riddance indeed!

"What's brewing behind that inquisitive expression?" Freya inquired, reading her assistant's face with practiced

ease.

"You should concentrate on steering the company smoothly from now on," Melvin advised earnestly, his tone unexpectedly formal and devoid of humor. "Don't venture into marriage again."

"Noted," Freya responded casually.

Throughout their journey, Freya rested in the backseat while Melvin mapped out the day's agenda in his mind. Thirty minutes later, they pulled up at Anita International Group headquarters.

Freya had christened the company after her mother. Despite being merely four years old, the business had flourished remarkably.

"Holy cow! Is that Ms. Briggs?"

"And Melvin Swain?"

"Am I hallucinating? She actually graced us with her presence?"

"Persistence pays dividends. Melvin has been counting down to this moment, and at last, she has returned." Exclamations erupted from staff members the instant the two stepped through the doors.
