Danger, I Don't Want Yo...

"Trent." Ellis flicked his gaze sideways.

ent didn't flinch, keeping that composed, gentlemanly air about him. "I'm not sure. Mina only mentioned it to Frederick."

rederick's head snapped toward him, eyes wide with disbelief. How shameless!

"You know it too!" he barked.

Trent tilted his head, face laced with confusion. "About what?"

"You know Freya left because-"

Frederick suddenly clamped his mouth shut.

In that split second, realization crashed over him like a wave. He spun toward Trent, fury lacing his words. "Trent, how could you throw me under the bus like this?"

Trent, aware he couldn't let Ellis catch wind of the truth, played dumb to the end. It was unbelievable.

"What?" Trent asked again, still donning that bewildered look.

"Nothing!" Frederick snapped, his chest heaving. "I'm the only one who knows the reason!"

Trent's expression didn't budge, barely reacting at all.

That made Ellis take a moment to think.

What none of them realized this was the first time Trent had dared lie to Ellis-and

his heart was practically jackhammering in his chest. He just had to make it believable.

A few moments later, Freya appeared.

The second Frederick spotted her, he bolted like she was his last hope, practically whining, "Freya, Trent was really awful to me!"

Freya blinked, confused, holding a laptop in her arms.

She glanced briefly at Trent, then asked, "What exactly did he do to you?"

"Our captain asked why you left. I told him to ask Trent, but Trent said you only told me, not him." Frederick dumped the whole mess in a breathless rush. "Back me up here, will you?"

Freya didn't give it much thought. "I didn't tell him."

"Freya!" Frederick looked scandalized. "You're really gonna lie like that?"
