Chapter 88

Thalia’s irritation vanished instantly, replaced by a bright smile as her expression transformed with remarkable speed. “Asher, you’re here!”

Asher’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Did you just mention Drake?”

Thalia didn’t conceal anything, answering honestly: “Drake was just knocking at my door.”

Only then did Asher notice the breakfast bag by the wall. He lowered his gaze, his voice carefully neutral: “Bringing you breakfast?”

“Yes. Heaven knows what’s got into him at this ungodly hour. I was sleeping perfectly well until he woke me with his infernal knocking.”

The annoyance and irritation in Thalia’s eyes were unmistakable as she spoke.

Asher asked: “How did he know your exact floor and flat number?”

This question caught Thalia off guard.

Indeed, she had never told Drake her floor or flat number–how had he known?

Thalia replied with genuine confusion: “I honestly haven’t the faintest idea.”

Asher’s brow furrowed. “Don’t worry, Lia. I’ll get to the bottom of this. Now, shall we go inside?”

Thalia stepped aside to let Asher enter.

Once inside, Asher removed his grey cashmere coat and casually hung it on the wall hook.

Thalia bent down to retrieve a pair of men’s slippers, placing them at Asher’s feet.

As Asher changed his footwear, Thalia tried to appear nonchalant as she asked: “By the way, Asher, you suddenly mentioned an urgent matter to handle last night. What was it? Is everything sorted now?”

Asher paused momentarily before answering in a measured tone: “It concerned Vanessa.”

Seeing his straightforward response, Thalia’s anxious heart finally settled.
