"Could you clarify that a bit more? I honestly have no idea what you're saying right now." Frederick spoke up, his forehead creased, clearly not understa

understanding.

Kristian, caught off-guard, hesitated, the words seeming to stick in his throat.

Gerard disguised his chuckle with a forced cough, trying not to let it slip.

He silently offered an apology, feeling a twinge of guilt. He hadn't meant to laugh- it just burst out before he could stop it.

Breaking the tense silence, Kristian's voice cut through the air, each syllable deliberate and heavy with intent. "I need to know everything about Freya. Name your price," he declared, dropping any facade of casual inquiry.

Frederick's eyes widened momentarily in realization, then narrowed as he leaned in slightly, a mix of intrigue and disbelief coloring his tone. "Are you suggesting I spy for you?" he inquired.

"You could certainly put it that way," Kristian stated bluntly, his gaze unwavering.

**No way,” Frederick exclaimed almost instinctively, his hands spreading in a gesture of refusal. "If I were to do that, it wouldn't just be Freya who'd never forgive me-our common friends would see it as a betrayal as well." His thoughts turned to Freya, her kindness and loyalty vivid in his mind. How could he betray her? He would never do that.

"If you reconsider, I'm prepared to offer ten million dollars," Kristian declared, eyes locked on Frederick with quiet determination.

Frederick shook his head firmly, not a trace of hesitation in his voice. "This isn't about money. I'm Freya's friend-and friends don't sell each other out like that."

Kristian leaned in slightly, his expression unreadable. "I'm not asking you to betray her. I just want to understand her better."

Frederick's brows pulled together, his tone turning serious. "But she doesn't want you to understand her. She doesn't even like you. To her, whatever this is-it feels like you're invading her space." He spoke with an unshakable earnestness, the kind that only came from someone young and fiercely loyal. "Being chased around by someone you can't stand? That's not flattering-it's exhausting."

Kristian's eyes flashed with a hint of frostiness, his expression hardening.

From the sidelines, Gerard discreetly flashed Frederick a supportive thumbs-up, admiring his courage. It was a rare sight to see someone push back against Kristian's intimidating presence so boldly.

"And why did you believe she can't stand me?" Kristian asked, his voice sharp as a blade, cutting through the

tense air.

"She's blocked all means of contacting her. Isn't that message clear enough?" Frederick's heart raced with nervousness, but his belief in Freya's support gave him the courage to carry on. "Freya rarely cuts people off. If she's gone to that extent with you, it clearly means she wants nothing to do with you."

Kristian's eyes narrowed, a storm brewing behind them. "She's already unblocked me."

Frederick paused, momentarily thrown off.
