Left Me With Walls, Wheels, and Wounds 269

Chapter 269 Kristian Might

Be In Serious Danger

"I've got something to do. You should head back first," Freya said calmly.

But Natasha didn't move. She stayed rooted in place, clinging to Freya like a shadow.

Freya didn't have time for this. She turned her focus to the deal between Lawrence and Kristian. But the deeper she looked, the more she ran into a wall- one she built herself.

She had once sold the phone system involved, and with it, she'd locked herself out.

It was only fair. Buyers wouldn't want her snooping around, just like no one wants phone developers digging into their private lives.

She could've broken in with ease. But her principles held her back.

Lost in thought, she picked up her phone.

If anyone knew something, it would be Kristian's assistant-Gerard.

"Ms. Briggs?" Gerard sounded surprised to hear from her.

"It's me. I want to ask something about Kristian. If it's a bad time, just say so," Freya said, keeping it brief.

"Go on."

"In the past few days, has he met with anyone strange or struck any deal outside work?"

"He has..." Gerard admitted.

Freya's chest tightened. "Who was it? What did they talk about?"

Gerard answered, recalling that day, "I'm not sure who it was. Right after Mr. Shaw spoke with you, he made a

call. He asked if their old agreement still stood."

"What do you mean?" Freya asked, feeling a sense of dread.

"I don't know. But after that, he asked the person for a favor. He promised to

Freya's thoughts flashed back to Lawrence. His words had been cut off that day-"I

should thank you; if it weren't for you..."

A thought struck her. "Did Kristian ask that person to save me?"

Gerard froze. "How did you know?"

Kristian and Gerard had been there.
