Chapter 136 Kristian Visited Hugh

"She enjoys nothing more than a good book or a nap," Melvin chimed in once again, his voice calm and composed. "Oh—and she's also quite fond of sparring."

"That's splendid," Chaz commended bluntly.

At that moment, one thought echoed in his mind: Freya wasn't just easy on the eyes and skilled at her work- she carried a spirit that was rare and admirable. Exactly the kind of woman who checked all his boxes.

Just as he opened his mouth to speak again, his phone buzzed. He intended to brush it off, but the moment he saw Gerard's name flash on the screen, he offered an apologetic smile and answered, "Hello, Todd*

"We're out having dinner with the investment advisor from Briggs Group. The collaboration has just been finalized.*

"Yes."

"Right now?"

"Understood. I'll be there immediately."

Chaz's face grew increasingly serious as the call continued.

Once the call ended, despite wanting to continue dining with Freya, he couldn't ignore his company president's orders. “Ms. Briggs, I'm sorry, but our company president has arrived earlier than expected, and I need to return to the company."

Turning to his colleague, he added, "Richie, stay here with Ms. Briggs and make sure she has a good meal."

"The president's arrived?" Richie asked, surprised.

"Yes, just got in."

"But Gerard Todd mentioned they wouldn't be here until later in the afternoon, didn't he?"

"I'm not sure what changed, but I have to return now." And with that, Chaz left in haste

Freya, however, couldn't help furrowing her brows when she heard the name Gerard during the call. The company president you mentioned is..."

"Our big boss-Kristian Shaw," Chaz replied with complete transparency. "He'll be stationed long-term at our

branch office."

Freya's thoughts twisted into a knot. What could Kristian possibly be up to?

"I'll take my leave now. Let's catch up again sometime," Chaz said with a smile before quickly vanishing down
