Chapter 197 Freya's Grandfather

"I know this isn't my place, but you and Ms. Briggs have already divor..." Gerard put himself in Freya's shoes, and knowing Kristian well, he was blunt in his approach.

Those words triggered a wave of irritation in Kristian. Before Gerard could finish, Kristian cut him off, saying, “If you know it's not your place, then keep your comments to yourself."

Gerard found himself at a loss for words.

"If you continue like this, you'll end up alone." He pointed out.

"Isn't that already the case?" Kristian responded, seemingly accepting his fate. Gerard was momentarily speechless. He suspected something important must have happened; otherwise, his boss wouldn't be acting so out of character.

“I just wanted to offer a bit of advice to help prevent any problems with our partnership down the line," Gerard quickly came up with an explanation. His face settled into his usual calm smile. "This is an important partnership, after all."

Kristian simply stared at him.

Gerard shifted uncomfortably under his intense stare. "What's the issue..."

"Are you truly worried about our project, or are you more concerned about your bonus?" Kristian directly exposed him.

Gerard maintained a forced smile. "If you were even half as sharp with Ms. Briggs as you are in business, you would not be facing these problems."

Kristian had no trouble seeing right through Gerard, yet when it came to Freya, he seemed completely clueless.

Kristian's frustration boiled over. "You seem pretty confident now; is it because I didn't cut your bonus last time?"

"No, you got me wrong," Gerard replied, knowing it was important to maintain respect with his boss. "I just feel unfortunate about you and Ms. Briggs. You two seemed like such a great pair, and now you're not together."

Kristian let out a cold laugh that sent a chill through the air.

Gerard nearly winced; that laugh was unsettling.

"Didn't you tell me I didn't deserve her?" Kristian said coldly.

"Sometimes, to lift your spirits, a few white lies are necessary," Gerard replied, bold as ever.
