Chapter 215 Not Wanting To Stay With Him-

Noticing that Kristian was teetering on the edge of saying something wildly inappropriate again, Gerard jumped

in with a well-timed distraction. "Anyway, Ms. Briggs-why was Melvin with you there?"

Freya replied coolly, "Putting on a show."

With just those few words, Gerard put the pieces together.

Earlier, Freya had only explained things to Kristian in a hushed tone, so Gerard had been left entirely out of the

loop.

Now that he'd caught on, he didn't press any further. "So, whose place are we headed to now?"

"My place.""

"My place."

Kristian and Freya spoke in unison.

Gerard pressed his lips together, unsure who to obey.

"According to your script, you're currently unconscious," Kristian pointed out,

clearly angling to take her home. "Since I brought you out, I'll take you to my place to keep an eye on you."

"You should take me to my place," Freya countered flatly.

"I don't have access to your home."

Freya had no comeback for that.

She furrowed her brows, that usual calm in her eyes giving way to something more unsettled.

She didn't want to go to Kristian's place, but if she got out now and was seen on surveillance, the person orchestrating this would know she and Melvin were faking it.

And without her laptop, there was no way to hack the system.

"Then I'll head to Mr. Shaw's place," Gerard said, directing the comment to Freya. When she gave a small nod, Gerard started the car and drove off.

Kristian kept his gaze locked on the back of Gerard's head, silently deciding that they were due for a serious talk about who exactly signed Gerard's paycheck.

They hadn't gone far when Freya's phone buzzed. It was Melvin.

Without missing a beat, she swiped to answer. "Hello, Mel."
