Chapter 182 Afraid Cyril Might Steal Her Heart

The moment Liam heard those words, his first instinct was to sneak a glance at Kristian

He was dying to see how Kristian would react to someone taking an obvious interest in Freys

But Kristian didn't give him the reaction he was hoping for.

Right then, Kristian kept his emotions locked up tight, fully aware that this wasn't the right time of place to say anything

Still, the look he gave Cyril had a quiet intensity to it-sharp, but subtle.

"Thanks. You're quite the charmer yourself," Freya replied politely, her lips curving into a faint, practiced smile Cyril lit up like a kid on Christmas morning

As the conversation rolled on, he didn't hold back in expressing his admiration, peppering Freys with questions about her interests and likes. By the end of it, even Lionel and Elvin could read him like an open book.

Eaton was the last to go. Before leaving, he looked over at Kristian and Liam, who were still lingering, and asked, cautiously, "Liam, Kristian, do you need to double- check today's schedule?"

Anyone with a shred of common sense could tell he was politely urging them to clear out

Liam answered easily, "You go ahead. We'll catch up in a bit."
