Sitting in his office, Asher flipped through a stack of documents when the door burst open without warning, in strolled Zander, wearing a smug grin. "Hey, man," he chirped, flopping down on the couch like he owned the place. Asher shook his head at his friend's antics. "I thought you'd be busy hounding that girl," Asher remarked with mild amusement, leaning back in his chair. Zander let out a dark chuckle. “Haha, you just can’t imagine what I’ve got planned for that kitten.” The glint in Zander’s eyes piqued Asher’s curiosity, his brow arching ever so slightly. Zander had already given strict orders for no one to reveal who Gabrielle’s new master would be. The mere thought of her terrified expression when he finally appeared before her sent a twisted rush of satisfaction through him.
