Susu’s eyes searched Asher’s face, looking for answers. She saw the sincerity in his eyes, the vulnerability behind his tough exterior. And she said to him How did it happen? she said, her voice softening. Asher said it’s a long story but it doesn’t matter anymore I was vindicated already ,it was a a relationship that wanted to end my career and everything I have worked for ,but due to the authenticity of my companies I managed to pass through all the accusations and be free. Asher’s face relaxed, a small smile playing on his lips. "I promise, Susu. I’m not a money launder I work hard to make every penny I have . Susu nodded, her heart pounding in her chest. "Good. Because I was about to quit working with you Asher . I don’t want to be caught up in a mess like this I’m only trying to make ends meets. Asher’s eyes locked onto hers, his gaze intense. "I'm a man who has been hurt, Susu. A man who is tired of living in the shadows And I think...I think you might be the one to change all that." Susu’s breath caught in her throat as Asher’s words hung in the air. She felt like everything was happening so fast ,But she also felt a sense of excitement, of possibility but she still had her doubts maybe just a little . "Maybe," she said, softly . "Maybe I can help you, Asher . Maybe we can help each other." Asher’s smiled as he walked down to sit closer to her . "Maybe," he said, his voice filled with hope. "Just maybe."
