Chapter 211 Running Into Kristian

"I'm not entirely sure," Gerard said, masking the faint unease that stirred beneath his composed exterior.

Kristian's gaze remained fixed on him, his presence commanding the room with an intensity that seemed to swell with every passing second. Gerard, adjusting his glasses, couldn't shake the feeling of nervousness that clung to him.

"If you want to know, I'll try to figure it out,"

Gerard added, his voice steady but offering little assurance.

Kristian remained silent, his eyes still unwavering

From Gerard's hesitant response, Kristian had already pieced together that Melvin harbored feelings for Freya. While he had made up his mind not to interfere, choosing instead to quietly support her from the shadows, the knowledge that someone else desired her unsettled him deeply.

Gerard fell into an uneasy silence, his thoughts racing. He knew better than to provoke Kristian, especially when the man's mood seemed to teeter on the edge of something dangerous.

"I'm not sure."

Gerard was honest. "He never mentioned it."

One afternoon, Melvin stopped by the office to see her and said, "I've already quoted them a price."

"How much?"

"I filled in the maximum amount possible on the check,"
