MainNovelChapter 347:
“Right now?”
“Understood. I'll be there immediately.”
Chaz’s face grew increasingly serious as the call continued.
Once the call ended, despite wanting to continue dining with Freya, he couldn’t ignore his company president's
orders. “Ms. Briggs, I'm sorry, but our company president has arrived earlier than expected, and | need to return
to the company.”
Turning to his colleague, he added, “Richie, stay here with Ms. Briggs and make sure she has a good meal.”
“The president’s arrived?” Richie asked, surprised.
“Yes, just got in.”
“But Gerard Todd mentioned they wouldn't be here until later in the afternoon, didn’t he?”
“I'm not sure what changed, but | have to return now.” And with that, Chaz left in haste.
Freya, however, couldn't help but furrow her brows when she heard the nGerard during the call. “The
company president you mentioned...”

branch office.”
Freya's thoughts twisted into a knot. What could Kristian possibly be up to?
“I'll take my leave now. Let's catch up again sometime,” Chaz said with a smile before quickly vanishing down
the street.
Now that she knew Kristian was in Alerith, a shadow of unease passed over Freya's otherwise calm face. Melvin
noticed the change. “Ms. Briggs?”
“It’s nothing. Let's eat first,” Freya said, quickly collecting herself.

The meal was brief. After finishing, both parties departed, and Freya wasted no tin going to see her cousin.
Alan, thrilled by the successful collaboration and favorable terms, couldn't help but praise her. “You're amazing,
Freya.”
Freya sat beside him quietly, her mind wandering.
“What's weighing on you?” Alan asked, sensing her distraction.
“From now on, let Melvin handle anything related to Briggs Group,” Freya said with a faint frown. The news of
Kristian working in Alerith still unsettled her. “I won't be involved anymore.”
Alan blinked in confusion. “Why?” he asked, genuinely puzzled.
“I heard Kristian Shaw’s going to be stationed in Alerith long-term,” Freya explained, her tone initially serious,
then tinged with playful sarcasm. “I'm afraid he’ll fall forand try to turn our business deal into a marriage
proposal.”
Upon hearing that, Alan turned his gaze sharply toward her, eyes narrowing.
Freya shifted under his scrutiny, slightly flustered.
