Chapter 205

Chapter 205 Can You Get Something Out Of Gerard

"What did Kristian and my grandpa talk about today?" Freya asked bluntly.

Gerard adjusted his glasses, pausing. "Maybe you could ask that in a roundabout way."

She was always so direct. And honestly, it made things hard for him.

Freya blinked, confused. Wasn't that already vague enough?

"What can you tell me then?" she asked again, rephrasing.

"Mr. Shaw told me not to say anything if you brought it up," Gerard replied.

His words betrayed Kristian, but his stance was clear. "If you really want to know, ask him yourself."

"Does it have anything to do with me?" she pressed.

"I don't know," he said calmly.

"Is it a collaboration?"

"Can't say."

"An arranged marriage?"

"You should ask Mr. Shaw."

She threw one question after another, but Gerard stayed vague and unbothered.

Eventually, Freya realized she was wasting her breath. With a short comment to end things, she hung up.

At Anita International Group, Melvin had just gotten back from a meeting when he noticed Freya's distant expression. He walked over. "Something wrong?"

"Are you close to Gerard?" she asked, an idea sparking in her mind. "Yes."

"Can you get something out of him?"

"Yes, I can."

"So confident?"

"He trusts me and I'll get him drunk," Melvin said casually.

Freya was momentarily speechless.
