MainNovelChapter 433:
“Hmm?”
“You're really charming,” he said softly.
Freya had been on the verge of scolding him, but seeing that his spirits had lifted even a little, she let it go.
By the tthe last document was signed, the clock had struck 8 PM. Alan texted Toby, asking him to pick up the
files, then set off for Kristian’s place with Freya.
Once they arrived at the base of the building, Alan pulled the car into a spot and parked.
Just as he started to breathe easy, his nerves stirred up again. “He won't mock me, right?”
“He won't,” Freya replied without hesitation.
“But... what if he does?” Alan’s anxiety was written all over his face.
Freya gave an internal sigh. “If he does, I'll beat him up.”
“No!” Alan panicked. “That'll just makelook worse!”
Freya was rarely treated to this side of him. She tilted her head and asked, “Then what do you wantto do?”
“I don’t know.”
“Well, if you don’t know, then just get out of the car. We'll figure it out upstairs.”

With that, she stepped out. Alan wanted to delay a bit longer, but Freya pulled him along.
Weighed down by a whirlpool of emotions, Alan followed her up to Kristian’s door.
Freya pressed the doorbell.
Alan’s heart pounded like a drum in a quiet room. His mind was a flurry of possible outcomes.
Would Kristian make subtle jabs at him? Would it be a frosty, awkward conversation?

Then—the click of the lock. The door opened. Kristian stood there, his expression flickering slightly when he saw
Freya. Just as he was about to greet her, his eyes landed on Alan.
“Mr. Shaw.” Alan greeted with a calm smile, the unease from earlier completely vanished, replaced by newfound
confidence as he stepped forward to greet Kristian.
Kristian responded with a polite nod, his demeanor reserved. “Mr. Briggs.”
After exchanging a few cordial words, Kristian gestured for Freya and Alan to follow him inside.
The door shut with a soft click behind them, and though Alan’s pulse quickened beneath his suit, he forced a
calm facade. As both the president of Briggs Group and Freya's cousin, he couldn't afford to let his nerves show
—not now.
Kristian glanced at Freya while leading the way in, his voice casual, yet warm. “Did you manage to grab dinner
before coming over?”
Freya nodded, her response brief. “Yes, thank you for asking.”
Alan, trailing slightly behind, furrowed his brow in confusion. He couldn’t recall them stopping for a meal at all.

Kristian remained in the study throughout, never stepping out once, while Alan lingered awkwardly in the
hallway, a growing sense of discomfort creeping over him.
