Seraphina looked up and saw Asher's chin. Once he was sure she wouldn't fall, Asher finally let go of the arm he had around her. "You okay?" His brows were furrowed, his eyes filled with concern. Seraphina felt like his gaze burned her, so she quickly looked away. "I'm fine..." Fiona stood beside Asher, her face expressionless as she glanced at Seraphina. Asher took a step forward, positioning himself in front of Seraphina. In a low voice, he said to Natalie, "If you have a problem with my decision, you can take it up with me directly. There's no need to make things difficult for someone else." Natalie clutched the hem of her shirt, her eyes turning red. "That's not what I meant, Mr. Caldwell... I-I just don't want you to be deceived..." "I don't need anyone worrying on my behalf."
