‘Boy am I glad I didn’t leave!”
Asher said as he smirked. He turned to Jared who looked a little more serious. Jared was standing against the door frame, his eyes down, his lip busted.
Lori took several steps back.
How?
How did they know she was here? Why did they come at this exact very moment that she was in the apartment? Those were the questions that were running through her mind. She couldn’t stop thinking about them.
And how utterly stupid she had been to believe that she was finally rid of the due. She would never get rid of them.
They were the kind of past that kept haunting, never stopping, never letting her enjoy her life.
“What.. what are you doing here?”
She asked as she hugged herself, putting distance between the two of them, clutching the bag of clothes she held to her chest.
“What am I doing here?! Oh well, let’s see, I came to say hi.”
Asher said as he laughed. He walked into her apartment, his eyes roaming around
“Sweet place you got here. Doesn’t seem like you stay around much.”
He mused.
Jared followed suit, he didn’t say a word to her, he just glared at her and followed Asher.
Asher turned to her and snatched the bag from her hands, Lori jerked away in feat.
‘Clothes. Are you going somewhere?”
He asked and Lori shrugged.
‘Where have you been these days?”
He persisted. Lori stayed mute.
Asher sighed, his patience was running thin, she was testing his very last nerve.
I asked you a question Lori. Now I wouldnt want this to escalate more than it aeady has. So when I ask you a question, you answer me.”
‘Understood!
He barked and Lori nodded.
Asher sighed in relief.
He sat down on the nearest sofa, rummaging through her bag.

‘So where have you been?
“Work.
Lori was only able to muster a word.
“And where exactly is work?”
He asked as he signaled to Jared to check the house.

“It’s far. In the city.”
She lied and Asher turned to her, for some reason he always knew when she was ying, whether or not he thought she was lying this time, he didn’t show it.
he let it slide.
“And what exactly does work mean? Are you waiting tables or what?”
Now she had run out of lies. She didn’t know what to say but she’d probably go with what he was saying. It was better he didn’t know about Emilia or
Gabriel.

“Yea.”
Asher scoffed.
He dropped the bag and turned to her, giving her his full undivided attention.
‘Are you lying to me? Because I can tell you are!”
“Look what I found!”
Jared called out as he came out of Lori’s bedroom with her phone in his hand. The one Gabriel had bought for her.
Asher’s eyes widened.
“Wow!!! How many tips did you have to get to buy a phone like this?!”
Jared handed him the phone and Asher examined it, a cruel smirk on his face.
“It was a gift,”
Lori answered and he raised his eyebrow.
“From who?”
“That man I saw you with the other?”
“Who is he by the way? He looked rich”
Asher noted and Lori kept mute. She was in so much trouble.
So so much trouble.
