Forget it, Freya thought. If Louis wants to give me money, I’ll just take it. It’s not like I spend recklessly anyway. Worst case, I’ll give it back to him later if he ever needs it. With that, she changed the subject, and the two of them continued eating.
Life went on, uneventful and quiet.
One morning, as they were heading out, Louis casually said, “I’ve got something going on today, won’t be back for dinner. I’ll lock the door when I get home.”
“Oh, okay.” Which meant he’d be back late tonight. It wasn’t the first time, so Freya didn’t think much of it.
That evening at 7 PM, on the sixth floor of Samson Pub-
The door to a private room was pushed open, and a young man strode inside. He was strikingly handsome, with a rugged edge–not the delicate prettiness of today’s pop idols. His entire presence radiated a sharp, battle–hardened aura. Everything about his posture carried a kind of clean, efficient decisiveness, mixed with a faint dominance.
He was dressed in casual clothes, yet somehow gave the impression of wearing full armor. Like a sword ready to be drawn at any moment, the sheath couldn’t hide its blade. One glance, and you’d know–this was no ordinary man.
“Asher!” Baylon practically jumped to his feet, his voice filled with delight.
The three people playing cards instantly froze and turned their heads in unison. Seated beside them, Louis set down the documents in his hands and looked up with a rare, genuine smile. “Asher.”
“Waylon, cut it out. This isn’t a set, and I’m not trying to act outside of work. If you’re dying to see a show, you better pay first,” Kendrick said, holding out his hand toward Waylon.
Smack! Waylon slapped Kendrick’s outstretched hand away and gave him a look of disgust. “Wow, listen to you. Like anyone wants to act with you. Kendrick, take a look at the table–your chips are still sitting there. If you’re thinking of skipping out, we’d all have to be blind to let it slide.”
