"Freya." Miguel's voice stopped Freya in her tracks.

She turned around, brows lifting slightly in question.

Before she could say a word, he continued, "Why don't you give Kristian a ride? You're headed that way

anyway."

"I..." Freya opened her mouth to protest.

"No need to trouble her," Kristian cut in smoothly, his tone calm and even. "I'll just call my assistant."

"It's no trouble!"

Miguel cut him off firmly. "She's going that way. Let her take you."

Freya stood there, caught off guard. She really didn't want to give Kristian a ride.

Scrambling for an excuse, she quickly said, "I've got a few errands to run before I head to the office. Someone else can take him."

"I'm telling you to give him a ride. Since when did you get this stubborn?"

Miguel's frown deepened, his displeasure showing. "Just make sure he gets to the office safely today."

Freya felt her energy drain. With no choice left, she muttered, "Got it."

She shot Kristian a sideways glance and said curtly, "Let's go," before walking off. Kristian exchanged a few polite words with Miguel, then followed her out.

Hearing the warm tone between them, Freya couldn't help but wonder what they had been talking about. It wasn't like her grandfather to warm up to someone that fast. Something felt off.

Outside, Freya climbed into the driver's seat and started the car.

Kristian leaned in through the passenger-side window. "You're seriously giving me a ride?"

"Get in."

Her answer was curt, not bothering to elaborate.

Kristian opened the door, slid into the seat, and buckled up without needing another word from her.

Freya didn't drive off right away. She stared straight ahead, then asked without turning, "What exactly did you talk about with my grandpa? And don't give me that 'business matters' excuse-you two weren't talking shop."
