HappyNovelChapter 540:
Kristian shot back with a cool retort, “Do you think | need your advice?” If simply asking her to stay could've
solved anything, he would've done it ages ago.
Gerard scratched the bridge of his nose and kept driving, choosing not to push further.
“Didn’t you mention Melvin was working as an assistant somewhere else?” Kristian finally had the presence of
mind to dig into the situation. “How did he end up hovering around Freya?”
“I don’t know the specifics,” Gerard admitted without hesitation. “He said his boss went on vacation, so now he’s
helping Ms. Briggs out part-time.”
“Would you really take a part-tgig if you were in his position?” Kristian’s gaze sharpened, and his voice
dropped slightly.
Gerard caught the chill in his expression and answered plainly, “No.” If his boss were off on vacation, he'd be
taking it easy too.
The paycheck would still land in his account regardless, and besides, Melvin wasn’t strapped for cash—he’d been
squirreling money away for years, so he wasn’t hurting financially.
“Then why would Melvin be working part-tfor Freya?” Kristian’s suspicion deepened.

Gerard hesitated. How the hell was he supposed to answer that? He couldn't just blurt out that Melvin had
feelings for Freya and was hoping to win her over by working close to her, could he?
Kristian waited, his patience running thin. When no answer came, a line appeared between his brows. “Speak.”
“What else could it be, if not because he’s in love with her?” Gerard finally said, his heart beating a little faster.
“Haven't you already figured that out?”

“It’s not that.” Kristian wasn’t reacting emotionally—his head was clear.
If it was really just about having a crush on her, there were better ways to get close to her. Being her assistant
would barely give him any face tbeyond delivering tasks.
Gerard blinked, thrown off. “Then what is it?”
“Could Freya actually be his boss?” Kristian voiced the thought that had been bothering him.
Gerard looked mildly surprised. “I considered that before, but it doesn’t add up.”
“Why not?”
“Melvin said his boss went on vacation again, but Ms. Briggs has been working this whole time.”
“Again?” Kristian caught on instantly.
“Yeah. His boss took a two-year vacation before, and Melvin got two years off with full pay. He just got back to
work recently,” Gerard explained the situation.

“You must be dreaming,” Kristian replied flatly.
Gerard fell silent. He figured as much. Bosses like Melvin’s didn’t caround often.
