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