Alita, who had been wondering why he suddenly froze, jumped in fright when she heard someone knock on the door. She had totally forgotten that Fred was still waiting for her outside. He must have gotten worried and decided to knock.
At the same time, Asher and Axel shifted their attention to the door. When Axel looked back at Asher, annoyance burning in his gaze, Asher pulled out a phone from his pocket, waved it at Axel then silently dropped it on the floor. The next second, he disappeared from the room just as another round of knocks echoed.
Axel creased his brows at Asher's silent message. That could only mean that there was something really important he needed to know. He returned his gaze to Alita and saw the worried frown that marred her expression.
Being very sure that she had not seen Asher, since he appeared somewhere beside the door that was well hidden from her view, he wondered why she reacted that way.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
