Chapter 762:
“Are we heading back to my apartment, or to Ms. Briggs?” Gerard inquired, changing the subject. “The Anita
International Group is hosting their annual party tonight, so she likely won't return huntil late. How about
joiningat my place instead?”
“No, thanks.”
“Then, it’s back to her place?” Gerard confirmed, as they navigated the traffic.
“Taketo Anita International,” Kristian demanded firmly, his voice carrying a hint of defiance. The less Freya
wanted him to be seen in public, the more he insisted on doing exactly that. He was adamant about making their
appearance together, hoping to project the image of a charming couple. Ideally, their outing would be captured
by the prying lenses of reporters, ensuring their photos spread like wildfire across the internet.
Gerard, perplexed by Kristian’s sudden insistence, couldn’t help but question him. “Why?” he asked.
“I want to see her,” Kristian responded curtly, his voice shutting down any chance of further probing.
Undeterred, Gerard pressed on, laying bare the reality of the situation. “Even if you go there, you're unlikely to
see her.”
“And why is that?” Kristian challenged, irritation creeping into his voice.
“Because their party is at a hotel this year, not at the company’s office,” Gerard explained, his patience thinning.

day Kristian’s memories cback—along with a possible salary cut. All he could do was let out a silent,
miserable sigh, burying his frustration deep down where Kristian wouldn't notice.
Kristian shot him a sharp glare, his eyes narrowing dangerously. “Then figure it out.”
He stared at Gerard in disbelief, as if questioning whether he was even slightly qualified to call himself an
assistant.

“I'm afraid that’s impossible,” Gerard remarked, managing to keep a perfectly straight face as he lied through
his teeth, shamelessly taking advantage of Kristian’s spotty memory. “Anita International Group is super
secretive about their events. They never release the venue to the media. Even if you flipped the city inside out,
you wouldn't find a clue.”
“Gerard,” Kristian growled lowly, his patience visibly thinning, like a tight rope ready to snap.
Gerard responded with a cautious tone, “Yes, Mr. Shaw?” His voice barely above a whisper.
Kristian’s eyes narrowed as he delivered his ultimatum. “If you value your position, find out where that party is
and takethere,” he said, his voice icy and sharp. “Otherwise, consider yourself fired.”
Gerard met his gaze steadily, the
seriousness etched in every feature.
