And more importantly, when Gerard had mentioned that Freya was selite hacker, Melvin had said the same
thing about his own boss. When Gerard praised her fighting skills, Melvin claimed his boss could take on ten of
him. How could that be a coincidence? It was starting to sound like Melvin had been talking about Freya all along.
“Then why don’t you just take toff like before?” Gerard asked.

words as firm as ever.
“How did you meet Ms. Briggs?”
Melvin didn’t answer. He wasn’t planning to. Was Gerard ever going to let it go?
Gerard was nearly certain. “Ms. Briggs is your boss all along, isn’t she?”
“You've got it wrong.”

All those thoughts tangled in Gerard's head, stirring up a complicated mess of emotions.
He'd always assumed Melvin was clueless when it cto relationships—never in a million years did he expect
the guy to fall for someone before he did.
Pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose, Gerard gathered himself and decided to head to work. Melvin
might've taken a leave of absence on his behalf, but Gerard figured the best way to clear his mind was to keep
busy.
While on his way to the office, it hit him—his reaction to Melvin’s confession had been way too calm.
