Chapter 1092: Kristian's eyes locked onto Felipe, his gaze icy. "Are you serious?" Felipe's voice was calm, unwavering. "Absolutely." Kristian clenched the file tightly, his mind drifting far from the present moment. Noticing the silence, Felipe leaned forward, his tone becoming more insistent. “Yes or no? Just givea straight answer." "I'll agree," Kristian murmured, barely audible, "but only if it stays between us. No one else can know." Felipe nodded without hesitation. "Done."

"Easy enough," Felipe replied with a shrug. It was only about passing along small bits of information-nothing shady, nothing wrong.
Kristian gave a barely perceptible nod.
Felipe's gaze softened as he noticed the shadows under Kristian's bloodshot eyes. He clapped a hand on his shoulder. "Take a break, man. You look like you're running on fumes. Cgrab a drink with me." "I've got work to finish," Kristian replied, brushing him off.
"It can wait until tomorrow," Felipe insisted, pulling him along with a grin.
Gerard trailed them in a car, watching as they entered a nightclub. He quickly sent Felipe a message. "Mr. Shaw hasn't eaten or slept properly in nearly two months. Please keep his drinking light if you can." Skipping meals and rest frequently made alcohol a risky choice. Kristian's stomach was already acting up, and Gerard dreaded having to explain a worse situation to Isaac and Melinda. Felipe glanced at the message as he ordered drinks. He typed back, “Got it," then asked the staff to grab sfood.
The staff member blinked, confused. "Sir, we don't serve food here..."
