Chapter 63 Fooling Around Under Asher's Nose
Asher found himself utterly bewildered. Seeing Jefferson was gazing at the car but didn't make a move, he thought that he was waiting for someone to open the door.
However, it was time for a shift change among the security personnel, so Asher offered to open the car door for Jefferson.
As the car door was pulled open, the evening breeze rushed into the vehicle, which had been locked for quite some time.
Elianna remained crouching down in the legroom between the driver's seat and the rear seat, with every hair on her body standing on end.
Asher was standing less than eight inches away from her, and if he were to lower his body slightly, he could see her hiding inside Jefferson's car.
While Elianna was fraught with tension, Jefferson, in stark contrast, walked slowly over with a cigarette in hand.
Rather than immediately getting into the car, Jefferson casually leaned against the car while smoking his cigarette.
He didn't get into the car, so Asher didn't dare to move and just maintained the posture of holding the car door.
The scent of tobacco wafted into the vehicle with the evening breeze, which made poor Elianna feel suffocated.
Having experienced one too many startling experiences, she had become numb to fear.
For Elianna, the time of him smoking half a cigarette felt like an entire century.
The cigarette butt was extinguished.
"You can go ahead; I'll go back to retrieve something."
Asher didn't suspect anything and just returned to his own vehicle.
Asher was driving a high-profile convertible sports car today.
The color and interior had all been chosen with Kenley's help, and he had waited several months for the car.
On the day of the scheduled car pickup, Kenley had sprained her foot and didn't come with him.
At that time, Elianna was still dedicated, and her relationship with Asher wasn't as strained as it was now. Consequently, she had accompanied him to pick up the new car.
However, Kenley suddenly decided to come.
Since there were just two seats in the car, and Kenley's foot was still injured, Elianna had to take a taxi home by herself, while Asher went on a drive with Kenley.
Back then, Elianna didn't have feelings for Asher, and since Kenley was his cousin, she didn't think there was something going on between them.
Much like Asher now, who couldn't imagine that his fiancée was just a few steps away, fooling around with Jeff right under his nose.
