HappyNovelChapter 764:
It wasn’t until Kristian was neck-deep in research that Gerard finally managed to catch a breather. Seizing the
moment, he fired off a half-playful, half-serious text to Melvin. “Anita International still hiring?”
Melvin responded quickly, “Why? You applying?”

But he paused, remembering Kristian’s earlier warning—and thought better of it. He knew what was at stake.

“It's nothing,” Gerard said, sinking onto the couch as the steady click of a keyboard echoed from the study.
“Just... a lot's been happening. It's been rough.”
“Want a drink?”
“Yeah.”
“Go get some. I'll swing by after the party.”
A faint smile tugged at Gerard's lips. “Alright.”
Melvin didn’t push any further. After loosely making plans, he ended the call, still a little puzzled—figuring this
might be a good chance to sniff out the truth. There were just too many things he couldn't quite put his finger
