Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 493: I Bet Fifty Cents

At 10 p. m. New York time, Aurora finally stepped out of the lab after finishing her perfumery work for the day. Asher was already waving at her excitedly.

"Come quick, the show's about to start," he said, his face brimming with enthusiasm.

"What is it this time? Another Western movie?" Aurora asked, puzzled. It always struck her as odd that Asher, who'd never even set foot in the West, was so obsessed with Westerns.

"Nope! Way better than a Western. Come here-it's live!" Asher urged, practically shouting.

Aurora couldn't resist his impatience. "Alright, alright, I'm coming."

"I even got popcorn ready for you," Asher said, patting the seat beside him.

"Is that Susan?" Aurora asked, perplexed. Lately, Asher seemed to have an inexplicable fixation on Susan. He'd even ditched his beloved movies to watch her livestreams. That alone was proof of how entertaining Susan's streams were.

Denis Vukic had just removed his gloves and washed his hands after leaving the lab. Walking into the living room, he saw the two of them huddled together on the couch. Over the past few days, he had grown accustomed to their dynamic.

"What are you watching?" he asked.

"Come join us," Aurora beckoned. She had noticed that Denis wasn't as cold and distant as he first seemed. Around them, his demeanor had softened considerably.

Denis sat down next to them and glanced at the screen. "A press conference? What's so interesting about that?"

"Just wait until you see the main character," Asher said with a sly grin.
