“Sir, I'll head back to the office and deal with a few things,” Gerard said, sensing that his presence wasn’t
required anymore. “Just callwhen you're ready, and I'll send someone to pick you up.”

She stared at Kristian for a beat before asking again, “What kind of business matters?”
“Since it’s business, there are confidentiality clauses,” Kristian replied as he stepped closer.
His presence loomed over her like a shadow. “I can’t disclose anything to outsiders.”
Freya couldn’t poke any holes in his explanation, so she let it drop—for now.
