Chapter 532:
“Melvin Swain. Room 2309,” Kristian replied flatly.
Gerard's confusion deepened. Melvin?
“I'm sorry, sir, but we don’t have any guest under that nstaying in that room. If you can call your friend and
confirm it, we'll unlock the elevator right away,” the receptionist said again.
Kristian, dressed in a sharp, tailored suit, exuded an intimidating air.
It hit him—the room must've been booked under someone else’s name. And the hotel's policies weren't going to
bend for anyone, not even him. “Keep trying to get a hold of Melvin. I've got a call to make,” Kristian said curtly,

Melvin frowned and whispered, “Gerard and Kristian are looking for us. What should we do?”
“Ignore them,” Freya said softly.
From her experience, she figured Kristian was just throwing a fit over her having dinner with Melvin. Frankly, she

Seeing her unbothered attitude, Melvin let his worries go too.
He figured he'd just return Gerard's call once they were done. But just as he started guiding Freya toward Room
