Chapter 162 n Had A Thing For Kristian
Freya fell quiet for a beat before answering, “We just grew apart.”
n wanted to press for more, but Freya was already out of his office.
Still rattled, he sent a message to Ethel, hoping she might shed some light on why Freya had divorced Kristian.
Ethel''s reply came quickly, blunt and to the point, “Because Kristian''s a scumbag."
She didn''t go into detail. If Freya hadn''t confided in n, Ethel figured it wasn''t her ce to say anything
either.
n stared at the message, curiosity gnawing at him. So, when he sat down for a meeting with Kristianter, he couldn''t help but let his gaze wander in the man''s direction.
That day''s meeting was just to iron out some minor details of a previously settled partnership.
Normally, Chaz and Richie would''ve taken care of it, but Kristian had decided toe in person-maybe hoping to run into Freya..
"Mr. Briggs, Mr. Shaw''s speaking to you," n''s assistant, Toby Green, leaned over and gave him a discreet nudge.
n blinked, shaken from his thoughts. "Apologies, I got caught up reviewing the coboration details and missed that."
Gerard cleared his throat, his expression quite strange.
Kristian frowned just slightly.
The meeting didn''t stretch on much longer.
Once they''d wrapped up the remaining points, Kristian began to leave-but an idea suddenly popped into n''s mind. "Mr. Shaw, if you''re free, would you like to stay for dinner?"
"Sure," Kristian replied without hesitation. He figured that since n also had the Briggs surname, there was a decent chance he was rted to Freya. It couldn''t hurt to make a good impression on her rtives.
Toby raised an eyebrow and whispered in n''s ear, "Are you... into Mr. Shaw?"
n blinked in shock.
Gerard''s heart skipped a beat.
"You really ought to keep your feelings in check at work," Toby went on, oblivious to Gerard''s reaction, assuming he was speaking quietly enough. "Mr. Shaw''s a pretty big deal."
If n had been confused before, now he was practically fuming. When had he ever implied he liked Kristian?
Just as he was about to scold Toby, he noticed Gerard ncing their way with a weird look on his face.
In that instant, everything clicked.
"Please wait in the reception lounge for a moment," n said to Kristian without exining. The more he tried to rify, the worse it would get. "I''ll handle a few things, then we''ll head to dinner."
Kristian''s eyes seemed to narrow, his sharp lips parting as he replied, "Alright."

Chapter 162 n Had A Thing For Kristian
n offered a tight smile before turning and heading back.
The moment he returned to his office, he rounded on his assistant. "What nonsense were you spouting just now? Are you thinking straight?"
"I didn''t expect Mr. Shaw''s assistant to have such sharp ears." Toby coughed, clearly feeling awkward.
"That''s not the issue here," n snapped, his brow creasing in frustration How could I possibly have feelings for Kristian Shaw? I''m into women!"
Toby stood frozen, not daring to say a word. If n''s mother hadn''t dropped by to give Toby a little heads-up, he never would''ve suspected anything.
"Your mother was the one who told me to keep an eye on how you interact with men," Toby confessed. "I saw you staring at Mr. Shaw all through the meeting, barely even hearing what he said, so I just thought.....”
Would a straight man look at another guy like that? Especially a boss like n, who was normallyser-focused in meetings and never distracted. Didn''t it make sense to suspect something?
n''s lips twitched in frustration. He rubbed his temples, trying to calm the storm brewing in his head.
Just because he was thirty and still single, did his mother really have to start questioning his orientation?
Meanwhile, after n and Toby stepped out, Gerard couldn''t help himself. "Sir, do
you think Mr. Briggs actually has a thing for you?"
He''d definitely noticed the way n kept ncing over during the meeting
“No,” Kristian replied coolly, his face unreadable.
Gerard looked intrigued. How could Kristian be so certain?
"I''m guessing he''s Freya''s cousin," Kristian said, thinking his hunch was probably
right. "He likely already knows about the divorce."
Cousin?
Gerard looked genuinely surprised.
