“Got any specific time in mind?” Gerard asked, treating the whole thing like it was just another business

meeting

“Whenever works,” Kristian replied coolly.

“Alright then.”

As always, Gerard was the picture of efficiency.

By the next day, the meeting had been set. When Miguel got wind that Kristian wanted to see him, he extended an invitation to his estate without hesitation.

Freya was still at the office when the news hit her.

“Are you sure you didn’t mishear that?” she asked, clutching her phone with a furrowed brow. The words from the other end had caught her completely off guard.

“Positive. By now, he’s probably already there,” Alan answered, ever the reliable informant when it came to things happening at the family estate. “But what’s he doing there?”

Freya’s calm composure unraveled in an instant.

Mulling over Kristian’s recent antics, she muttered under her breath, “He’s causing me trouble again.”

Without another word, she handed over her work to Melvin and drove straight to her grandfather’s place.

Miguel was known for cutting conversations short–ten minutes tops if he wasn’t fond of someone. But if he liked you? That chat could stretch for hours.

With Kristian’s polished image and impressive family background, it wasn’t hard to imagine Miguel being

charmed.

He might even start fantasizing about a marriage alliance.

That thought alone made Freya slam the gas pedal harder. She could only pray that Kristian wouldn’t mention anything about marriage. If he did, her grandfather would no doubt latch onto the idea.

And once that happened, an official engagement announcement would be inevitable. Then, this would spiral completely out of control.

Meanwhile, Kristian was already seated, engaged in a pleasant chat with Miguel.

Gerard stood a short distance behind him, playing the role of silent assistant, quietly observing the conversation unfold.

Moments later, the signed agreements were split between the two parties.

Miguel instructed one of his staff to store the document safely, while Kristian handed his copy to Gerard to hold onto. Other than the three of them, no one else knew the details of the deal.

Freya arrived just as lunch was about to be served.

Both Miguel and Kristian looked geminely surprised to see her, neither had expected her to show up.

“What brings you here?” Miguel asked.

Freya glanced briefly at Kristian, then came up with a nonchalant excuse. “Just came to pick up a few things.” Since she had her own room at the estate, it didn’t sound out of place.

Miguel didn’t react much to her response.

“Well, since you’re here, join us for lunch,” he said after a short pause, brow furrowed slightly before extending the invite. “I happen to have a guest.”

“Alright,” Freya replied, seizing the moment to figure out why Kristian had shown up.

Noticing the subtle tension between the two, Miguel tactfully came up with an excuse to step out.

Freya found it suspicious–her grandfather never acted like that.

“Sir, I’ll head back to the office and deal with a few things, Gerard said, sensing that his presence wasn’t required anymore. “Just call me when you’re ready, and I’ll send someone to pick you up.”

Kristian’s tone remained as aloof as ever. “Alright.”

Soon, only Freya and Kristian remained.

Freya looked at him with narrowed eyes, suspicion dancing in her gaze. Her voice carried a trace of annoyance. “What are you doing here?”

Chapter 203 Acting Out Of Character

Kristian’s eyes locked onto her, her reflection caught in his stare.

He wanted to throw her own words back at her-“It’s none of your business.”

But he knew saying that would only push her farther away, leave them more estranged than they already were.

Freya raised an eyebrow, waiting. Why wasn’t he saying anything?

“Just discussing a few things with your grandpa,” Kristian finally answered, voice steady.

“What kind of things?”

“Business.” The reply was curt and clipped.

Freya shot him a skeptical look.

Her grandfather had stepped away from business matters ever since her father took over the reins. There was no reason for him to suddenly get involved again.
