" I am really confused about what to do." Whitney said.

" Me too." Heidi added.

" I am confused." Gabrielle said.

" I am not sure what to say." Jordana said.

" Wait, I am checking all the information you need to know about them." Ardeyn said and the girls nodded.

" Honestly I don't know either. What do you think, Ari?" Juliet asked Aradhya.

" I...errrr....I think...we should..." Everyone was looking at her eagerly but she shook her head. "I don't have any idea either." She said and heard the doorbell ringing.

" I will check it." Ari said and went to check the door. As soon as she opened the door found Asher standing in front her. He was in his casual attire. His eyes were behind the shades.

' Why does he has to hide his eyes!!! Urrrghh!!!' She said in her mind. His eyes was something that makes her feel better. He was holding a box and a bouquet of pink roses. " Is this for me?" She asked him pointing at the roses. He nodded.

" I thought you will love them." He said handing the roses to her.

" Thanks, I love them." She said smilingly. He smiled back. Cause her smile was all that he needed.

" Come inside." She said giving him a space to come inside.

" Where is your mom?" He asked her.

" She is in office. She has an important meeting in the office today." She said and he nodded. " What are in that box?" She asked him closing the door.

" Pizza for all. I thought you all are still starving." He said and she nodded. She knew that Asher always cares for his friends a lot. He always helps them and takes care of them like his siblings.

" Let's go inside." She said and he followed her.

" Hey, Ash." Ardeyn greeted his cousin at once and Asher rolled his eyes.

" Pizza kids!!" Asher said and put down the boxes.

" Thanks Grandpa." Whitney said. He rolled his eyes again.

" What's wrong, guys? Why did you call me this immediately?" He asked them sitting on the couch beside Jordana.

" There is something very important." Ari said as she gave him a water bottle.

" Thanks." He said taking the bottle and gulping some water from it. "What is it?" He asked about the matter they were discussing about.

" When we were coming back from school, we met someone." Whitney said.

" With whom?" He asked.

" He said his name is Joseph Westerly." Gabrielle said.

" Hmm. Joseph Westerly of Coaster Crystal Recording inc.?" Asher asked and every eyes turned to him shocked.

" Yes, but how do you know him?" Jordana asked.

" Well, I met him in a party 3 months back. My dad was supposed to invest in their Recording company along with Uncle David." He said looking at Ardeyn.

" Dad too invested?" Ardeyn asked him.

" Yes." Asher said.

" Then come I don't know that?" Ardeyn asked.

" You went to talk to Mr. Skiiver that time. Then your dad might have forgotten." He said.

" Oh, ok then." Ardeyn said.
