Nala accepted her defeat.
Asher wasn't so dumb as she thought and, he was also not just a person that was in a rumour.
He was indeed loved. Not just by the duke but by the little miss too. Both masters protected him…
'Maybe…maybe, my lady should…just, let it go.'
Nala was even more terrified now because she was never ordered to get involved with Asher or the duke like this. She was just there to gather information and see if there was anything that her lady needed to know. But, Nala went too far because she wanted to impress her lady and now her lady also could be in trouble.
It was all ruined.
Her lady will hate her for this.
'I was the dumb one. Hic! What am I going to do now?!'
While she tried to think of ways to protect herself, Asher and the duke, both concerned about different things about each other, decided they needed to talk.
"Duke...Can't we talk later?"
"Asher, what are you hiding?"
