He'd secretly set up notifications for her profile, so anything concerning Miranda popped up on his screen. His brows furrowed at the news, but when he saw her updated status, he couldn't help but chuckle. Seeing Elian's amusement, Mr. Ashcroft could guess who t was about and shook his head with a smile.
