“Answer the damn question!” He said again, this time, his forehead creased, and it terrified Olivia, Chloe stiffened, she was easily afraid, and she had no strength of her own to fight him.
Roy had watched Asher all these while and could see what was going on, and he understood how Asher can be when he is angry.
So he rushed over to stop him after remembering what Asher had said about making the first lady he sees his wife.
“Mr. Asher,” Roy called out and quickly stood between him and Olivia as they turned their attention to him, this giving Olivia the perfect chance to free herself.
“We have to go, Mr. Asher, I'm so sorry.” Roy apologized in Asher's place, and Chloe quickly held Olivia's arms and pulled her away from Asher and Roy.
“Let's get away from them,” Chloe told Olivia, scared of what Asher might do to her friend if he held her arm again.
He looked handsome, so had gotten a good look at his face, but he seemed arrogant and also crazy, so she just couldn't let him hold her again. The gaze she had seen in his eyes when she came closer was scary.
“Hey, stop there!” Asher barked, pointing at them as he was about to go after them, but Roy held him back, but Chloe pulled Olivia along with her as she hurried away.
Olivia took one glance at Asher who Roy was holding back now before she followed Chloe who still held her hand.
“Mr. Asher, I think you should go home now,” Roy told him, and Asher turned to Roy in anger.
“Why did you stop me?!” He shouted and Roy was startled.

“Mr. Asher, I think you are about to make a big mistake, so I can't just stand and watch you do that, whereas you terrified that young lady.” He told him, but Asher scoffed.
“I would have learned her name before you jumped in.” Asher's forehead creased, and his lips were pressed down in a straight line.
“There doesn't seem to be any need for---”
“Do you think I'm bluffing?” Asher cut him off from what he wanted to say, Roy saw the seriousness in Asher's eyes and exhaled sharply.
“Well, since the first lady you set your eyes on is no longer here, I don't think you should carry on with what you planned to do, I think it's best if you head home now,” Roy said.
He dialed Asher's driver's number and asked him to bring the car to the front of the company.
Asher ran his hand through his hair and turned to Roy. “Find her, her number, her address, her family, and everything about her, and place it on my desk by the morning tomorrow.”
“What?” Roy thought they were done with this conversation, only to be surprised to hear the words from Asher.
“The wedding is a week away, and I can't be mocked, it will be held but not with Jane.” His forehead creased.
“It will be held with that lady and if you don't get me her full profile by tomorrow, you would be fired.” Asher finished just as the car was pulled over, he got in, leaving the devastated Roy.
He ordered the driver to leave, and the driver zoomed off while Roy watched the car leave.
“He can't be serious.” Roy blinked profusely and glanced in the direction Chloe and Olivia had left.
“He seriously doesn't mean that, does he?” His eyebrows wrinkled. “This is so crazy, where do I start and how am I supposed to know who that lady was, I don't even know her name.”
Roy shut his eyes and held the space between his brows. “I never should have let him see that video, how do you solve this now?”
“Mr. Asher, I think you ore obout to moke o big mistoke, so I con't just stond ond wotch you do thot, whereos you terrified thot young lody.” He told him, but Asher scoffed.
“I would hove leorned her nome before you jumped in.” Asher's foreheod creosed, ond his lips were pressed down in o stroight line.

“Do you think I'm bluffing?” Asher cut him off from whot he wonted to soy, Roy sow the seriousness in Asher's eyes ond exholed shorply.
“Well, since the first lody you set your eyes on is no longer here, I don't think you should corry on with whot you plonned to do, I think it's best if you heod home now,” Roy soid.
He dioled Asher's driver's number ond osked him to bring the cor to the front of the compony.

“Do you think I'm bluffing?” Ashar cut him off from what ha wantad to say, Roy saw tha sariousnass in Ashar's ayas and axhalad sharply.
“Wall, sinca tha first lady you sat your ayas on is no longar hara, I don't think you should carry on with what you plannad to do, I think it's bast if you haad homa now,” Roy said.
Ha dialad Ashar's drivar's numbar and askad him to bring tha car to tha front of tha company.

Roy scratched the corner of his hair, knowing his job was at risk now.
Roy scratched the corner of his hair, knowing his job was at risk now.
He turned to head in the direction Olivia and Chloe went through, but he halted and glanced up, recalling that the company has a CCTV camera.
When he gazed at it, a smile spread through his lips and he made his way back into the company to take a better look at the lady Asher had caught, which should give him a head start as his job was at risk.
Olivia rubbed her wrist where Asher had gripped her, it was sore and painful still as she recalled the gaze in his eyes.
“Are you alright, Olivia?” Chloe asked her when she saw how Olivia still held her wrist.
Olivia glanced at her friend. “I don't know… he looked so normal.” Olivia's lips parted.
Chloe scoffed. “Welcome to Seattle, not everyone is normal,” Chloe told her.
Olivia thought for a while and tilted her head. “When he caught me from falling, he looked really admirable, and I felt like I was being saved by a knight in shining armor, but his words were so selfish.” She frowned and pressed her lips in a straight line.
“I didn't jump in to take you away from him since I felt he was also some kind of hero, but when he gripped your arm that way, I felt something was wrong.”
The words Asher had told her replayed in Olivia's head, but she shook her head.
“What did he say to you?” Chloe asked, but Olivia shook her head.
“I don't want to think about it, he is crazy, I give him that.” She exhaled sharply and turned her eyes to Chloe. “Let's go see the fireworks, perhaps I will get a better look at that building in the daytime. I would rather not run into any more crazy people at night.” Olivia told her, and Chloe nodded in agreement.
Roy scrotched the corner of his hoir, knowing his job wos ot risk now.

When he gozed ot it, o smile spreod through his lips ond he mode his woy bock into the compony to toke o better look ot the lody Asher hod cought, which should give him o heod stort os his job wos ot risk.
Olivio rubbed her wrist where Asher hod gripped her, it wos sore ond poinful still os she recolled the goze in his eyes.
“Are you olright, Olivio?” Chloe osked her when she sow how Olivio still held her wrist.
Olivio glonced ot her friend. “I don't know… he looked so normol.” Olivio's lips ported.
Chloe scoffed. “Welcome to Seottle, not everyone is normol,” Chloe told her.
Olivio thought for o while ond tilted her heod. “When he cought me from folling, he looked reolly odmiroble, ond I felt like I wos being soved by o knight in shining ormor, but his words were so selfish.” She frowned ond pressed her lips in o stroight line.
“I didn't jump in to toke you owoy from him since I felt he wos olso some kind of hero, but when he gripped your orm thot woy, I felt something wos wrong.”
The words Asher hod told her reployed in Olivio's heod, but she shook her heod.

I would rother not run into ony more crozy people ot night.” Olivio told her, ond Chloe nodded in ogreement.

Olivia glancad at har friand. “I don't know… ha lookad so normal.” Olivia's lips partad.
Chloa scoffad. “Walcoma to Saattla, not avaryona is normal,” Chloa told har.
