"Got any specific time in mind?" Gerard asked, treating the whole thing like it was just another business

meeting

"Whenever works," Kristian replied coolly.

"Alright then."

As always, Gerard was the picture of efficiency.

By the next day, the meeting had been set. When Miguel got wind that Kristian wanted to see him, he extended an invitation to his estate without hesitation.

Freya was still at the office when the news hit her.

"Are you sure you didn't mishear that?" she asked, clutching her phone with a furrowed brow. The words from the other end had caught her completely off guard.

"Positive. By now, he's probably already there," Alan answered, ever the reliable informant when it came to things happening at the family estate. "But what's he doing there?"

Freya's calm composure unraveled in an instant.

Mulling over Kristian's recent antics, she muttered under her breath, "He's causing me trouble again."

Without another word, she handed over her work to Melvin and drove straight to her grandfather's place.

Miguel was known for cutting conversations short-ten minutes tops if he wasn't fond of someone. But if he liked you? That chat could stretch for hours.

With Kristian's polished image and impressive family background, it wasn't hard to imagine Miguel being

charmed.

He might even start fantasizing about a marriage alliance.

That thought alone made Freya slam the gas pedal harder. She could only pray that Kristian wouldn't mention anything about marriage. If he did, her grandfather would no doubt latch onto the idea.

And once that happened, an official engagement announcement would be inevitable. Then, this would spiral completely out of control.

Meanwhile, Kristian was already seated, engaged in a pleasant chat with Miguel.

Gerard stood a short distance behind him, playing the role of silent assistant, quietly observing the conversation unfold.
