MainNovelChapter 359:
Freya had been poised to say more, to shield him from Kristian’s deceptions, when Melvin’s call interrupted. With
a swift swipe, she answered the phone.
Melvin’s voice, warm and reassuring, floated through. “Ms. Briggs, how can | assist you today?”
“Do you have a girlfriend?” Freya inquired, cutting to the chase.
“No.”
“Someone you're interested in?”
“No.”
“What about a fiancée or anything similar?”
“No.”
With each negative, Freya's tension eased slightly.
Before she could delve deeper, Melvin’s voice, tinged with amusement, broke in. “Are you by any chance trying
to play Cupid?”
“Nah,” Freya replied, her eyes flitting nervously. She found herself noting how surprisingly attractive Melvin was.
“Actually, | need a favor. Could you do something for me?”

“Go on.”
“I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend.”
“Alright.”
Freya blinked in surprise, momentarily thrown off. She hadn't expected him to agree so easily, without even
asking why. Even someone as composed as she usually was found herself taken aback by his instant agreement
—it was too smooth, almost suspiciously so.
“So, when do we kick this off?” Melvins voice was smooth, almost playful.

“In a couple of days,” Freya replied after a brief pause. She figured jumping into it immediately would feel too
calculated. “And stop callingMs. Briggs while we're at it. That alone could blow our cover.”
When Freya finished speaking, Melvin fell silent for a beat, then said, “Giveten minutes.”
Though unsure of what he had in mind, Freya agreed with a nod in her voice. “Alright.” The call ended.
Left in the quiet, Freya mulled over how to navigate the situation. If Kristian had stayed in Jeucwell, she wouldn't
have batted an eye at any of this. But now that he was in Alerith, planting roots and even setting foot in her
hearlier today, she couldn't help but consider how best to respond.
She loathed disorder. She cherished her peace and truly had no desire to entangle herself with Kristian any
further.
As her thoughts wandered, ten minutes quickly slipped by.
