I went home to find Asher already in the living room, working with his laptop open. He looked up when I walked in.
"Where have you been? It's past 9. I was getting worried. You didn't answer your phone." He asked with concern in his voice.
"I was walking." I put my bag down. "We need to talk."
"Okay. About what?" He closed his laptop and stood up.
"About Lily."
"What about her?"
"About what's happening between you two."
"Nothing's happening…"
"Don't." I cut him off. "Don't lie to me. Everyone in the office can see it. So please, don't just say that nothing is happening."
Asher's jaw clenched.
"We're colleagues. We work well together. That's all."
"You are working from her apartment."
"Working on the presentation…"
"When did that become normal?"
"It was just work, Rysa."
