"Are you flirting with me, love? His voice seemed serious and he wouldn't stop staring at me
"I'm not flirting with you, you're so full of yourself Asher, you think every girl in the world wants you, well they don't".
I hushed myself before saying...

Felix, Asher's loyal bodyguard, was always on high alert, even outside of his primary duties. Felix told me that they'd been friends since Asher started his job here. He was very stubborn and did not get along with anyone.
He managed though because they're genuinely so close, and he's kinda been his bodyguard ever since.
I got up so quickly from the couch and went to where Felix was. Asher and Richard followed behind me and we hovered over Felix.
"I found a few people recording live from the day on your birthday, some posted on their Youtube and others had the party all over their highlights on Instagram, maybe we can ask them if they've seen anything suspicious or look around the videos and see if anything off", Felix said looking up from the computer turning to us.
"All right, me and you can head to these people and ask them questions," I said happily looking at Felix. Felix's smile slightly faded, and he looked up at Asher.
"Unfortunately he can't do that princess, he's off for this week since his wife is having another baby in a few days," Asher said patting my back and smiling to himself like he won an award.
I sighed. hard. "what did I say about the nicknames," I said annoyed at him. Asher just chuckled and shook his head. I wanted to throw a football at his huge head.

Later we said our goodbyes to Richard and we told him that we weren't going to give up anytime soon.
I had been walking for what felt like an eternity, I was extremely tired and my footsteps felt heavy and my body felt as if it was shutting down.
I was slowing down slightly and found a nearby bench and sat down and winced in pain as I took my shoes off. Unfortunately for me, I didn't bring anything for the pain and I'm pretty sure I'm going to die of foot pain.
"Tesora, what's wrong?" what are you doing sitting over there? We have to go" I heard Asher say from behind me.
I looked up, a bit surprised to see Asher looking at me in a way I can't express. Honestly, I hadn't expected him to notice my pain, let alone approach me with genuine concern.
"My foot is killing me," I replied, forcing a weak smile. "I guess I've walked a little too far today."
"Let me take a look," he offered, his voice gentle.
His eyes softened, and it made my heart skip a beat. I watched as he knelt in front of me, inspecting my foot with a careful gaze.
I hesitated for a moment, I didn't have any gloves or anything besides me." But what about your germophobia?" I asked.
"Your foot is basically killing you right now, and you look like you're about to faint at any moment. I'll wash my hands extra after I make sure you're okay. Now Loriana, let me see your feet". He said in a voice that surprised me a bit but I agreed.
