Chapter 410:
“Why don’t you just work full-tat Briggs Group? I'll throw in a raise,” he joked, though his curiosity was
genuine.
Freya sidestepped the topic with a quick excuse. “I need to get back to work.”
“Hold on!” He stopped her. “Someone from Shaw Group is here. Cwithto greet them.”
He added with a curious glint in his eye, “I've been keeping an eye on Kristian Shaw these past few days, and
I've realized—he’s not as cold as | thought.”
Freya exhaled inwardly. She could already see where this was going.
“Weren't you the one who said he wasn’t right for me?”
“I don’t really know him,” Alan explained, his voice calm and measured. “Our dealings with the Shaw Group
mostly occur through their branch in Alerith. | hardly ever meet Kristian face-to-face. At our last dinner, though, |

“He is my ex-husband. | just returned after finalizing our divorce a few days ago.” Freya didn’t offer further
details about the cause of the divorce, leaving the explanation unfinished.
Alan searched her expression for any flicker of humor, any indication that she was joking—but her face remained
unchanged. Married? And now... divorced? They'd been married and already gone their separate ways?
“Does your father know about this?” Alan's heart started to race.
“Yes. I've told him,” Freya answered plainly. “You should go handle your business with them. | need to get back to
work.”
“Wait!” Alan called out after her.
Freya turned around, her expression as steady as ever, as though everything she'd said was nothing out of the
