Meanwhile.
Asher was playing snooker with several friends at an exclusive gentlemen’s club.
Alexander chalked his cue, a cigarette dangling from his lips as he teased casually: “Well, well, look who’s graced us with his presence. How is it you have time for us tonight, Asher? Not picking up your precious
Thalia from work?”
Since Thalia had started working and moved into her own apartment, Asher had spent every free
moment at her Tribeca flat.
It had been ages since he’d joined them for a get–together.
After the incident at the engagement ceremony and his hospital stay, Asher and Thalia’s relationship had grown even closer. He made time almost daily to pick her up from work.
Asher’s expression remained neutral as he lined up his shot. “She’s having dinner with colleagues
tonight.”

His tone was mockingly sympathetic. “Has the mighty Asher Blackwood actually been abandoned by a woman? What sort of colleague dinner could possibly be more important than you?”

He ground his teeth in annoyance, turning to William in an attempt to redirect the conversation. “Would you look at him, mocking a chap like that. William, you’re single too–how can you stand for this?”
William cleared his throat. “Actually, I’m seeing someone at the moment.”
“What?” Alexander’s jaw dropped, his mouth hanging open, his cigarette falling. “What did you just say?

You’re dating someone?”
William nodded.
“You never mentioned it. Which family is she from? The Kensington set? Or perhaps old Westminster money?” Alexander’s curiosity was piqued.
