Chapter 109

Briar was sprawled out on the couch, legs folded up, laptop perched on her lap in a totally lazy posture.

She started up another game, and this time, her teammates were from Qathana.

Since it was a cross–server match, she needed blazing–fast internet just to keep up.

Not wanting any lag to mess up her gameplay, Briar shot a quick glance at Ashton, who was still buried in his work, then quietly installed a

program.

She set up her own custom firewall on the internal network, just to make sure everything ran smoothly.

Soon enough, the game kicked off, and the office filled with the sounds of intense gunfire.

Briar’s moves were smooth and decisive, and the match dragged on for nearly half an hour before they finally won.

Their team had barely taken any damage, cruising to victory with ease.

Briar was so wrapped up in the game that she didn’t even notice Ashton glancing over at her a few times.

It wasn’t until the game ended and the victory music played that Ashton spoke up. “Briar, your ice cream’s melting.”

Briar looked over at the coffee table where she’d left her big tub of ice cream. The edges were already starting to melt from the air.

She quickly set her laptop aside and grabbed the ice cream. “Oh, I forgot. I’ll finish it right away.”

Ashton watched her with a smile, his eyes drifting over her casually crossed legs. “Don’t eat it all at once–it’s too cold.”

Briar nodded enthusiastically. “Sure, I’ll just eat the melted part first.”

Briar was just brushing him off. She was addicted to cold treats–maybe it was all the stuff she’d been through over the years that made her temper so short.

The more annoyed she felt, the more she wanted something icy to chill herself out.

But ever since she’d come back to Dasmieca, she’d been keeping her temper on a tight leash, especially around Ashton.

She made a real effort to act like a totally normal person in front of him.
