Chapter 246 Freya Specifically Told Me Not...

Scrolling through the messages, Freya replied to each one, even Kristian's.

e had barely hit send on the last reply when Kristian's call came through. "Where are you?" he asked.

In the car," she answered coolly, then added, "If anyone asks if you ever helped Ashley find her phone, just

say you did."

She always made sure everything was flaw less.

Maybe no one would dig that deep-but she wasn't taking chances.

Kristian wanted to ask more, but knowing Freya, he figured she had her reasons. "Alright," he said.

Freya blinked, mildly surprised.

With his personality, wasn't this the part where he started questioning everything?

"Did Ashley really get exposed?" Kristian's concern was obvious.

"No, just some suspicion," Freya said, her eyes dimming slightly. "As always, act clueless and go on with life

like normal."

"Okay,” Kristian replied.

"That's all," Freya said, wrapping it up. "I'm hanging up."

"Wait," Kristian stopped her.

It had been ages since he had had a proper talk with Freya, and this calm little exchange somehow eased something in his chest.

Freya's voice was flat. "Anything else?"

"Yes."

"What is it?"

"I want to see you. Let's have a meal together," he said.

"I'm busy. I gotta go."

This time, she ended the call without a shred of hesitation.

Kristian stared at the dark screen, the usual chill in his eyes replaced by a faint trace of loneliness.

From the driver's seat, Gerard couldn't help chiming in, "That's not how you ask someone out..."

Kristian glanced up at him.

"You should book a nice restaurant ahead of time, maybe throw in some flowers," Gerard said with a straight face. "Then come up with an excuse to get her there. Wouldn't that work better?"

"She wouldn't like it," Kristian replied without missing a beat.

She didn't want to see him now, didn't even like him.

Doing all that would just make her pull away more.

Gerard offered casually, "She wouldn't dislike it unless she didn't like the one asking."

You want me to tell Melvin you gave me advice on chasing after Freya?" Kristian's

icy stare fixed on the back of Gerard's head, irritation sharp in his gaze.

Gerard froze.

Crap!

He'd forgotten all about Melvin's interest in Freya.

"I was just messing around to lift your mood," Gerard said quickly, flashing his usual grin. "Don't take it

seriously."

Kristian knew Gerard's usual antics and finally said, voice frosty, "Drive."

"Yes, sir."

Gerard fell in line and started the car.

On the drive back, he kept sneaking glances at the rearview mirror, catching sight of his boss sitting in stony silence, eyes fixed on the passing scenery outside the window. A flicker of sympathy stirred in his chest.

Ever since Kristian learned Norah was the one pulling the strings, it was like something had shifted in him. He looked at things from a whole new angle.

After hanging up on Kristian, Freya wasted no time and called Frederick.

When he saw her name pop up, Frederick lit up so much his voice jumped an octave. "Freya!"

Freya didn't say anything.

He barreled on, "Freya, where are you now? Are you back already?"

"In the car," Freya replied bluntly. "You still there?"

"Yes!"

"Alright, I'm heading over now."

"Okay," Frederick ended the call with a beaming grin.

Wiping the sweat from his face, he rushed to tell Trent and Ellis, "Freya's wrapped things up and is on her way

back."

Trent glanced between him and Ellis, adjusted his glasses, and kept quiet.

Ellis had been lazily watching Frederick ever since he answered that call like an excited puppy.
