Seth leaned in, his voice dripping with mockery."Wow, Asher, you really know how to make an entrance...and an exit" Seth sneered. "I mean, who gets thrown out of a party like a piece of trash? You're like a bad joke, Asher. A pauper trying to play with the rich kids."Asher's face remained calm, but his eyes narrowed slightly. He watched Seth, waiting for him to finish his tirade."You'll n

Ryder's eyes remained wide in shock as he stared at the wad of cash Asher had just pulled out to pay for their drinks. "What the f**k is this Asher? Where did you get this from?" he asked, his voice laced with confusion.Asher, seemingly unfazed by Ryder's outburst, beckoned the bartender to come and collect the money. But just as the bartender was about to reach for the cash, Ryder slapped his hand away. "What the f**k do you think your doing?" Ryder asked, his eyes kept fixed on the bar man's eyes.Asher smiled calmly, his eyes fixed on his phone still. "Allow him, man. We need to get out of here. There's a lot to talk about," he said, his voice low and even.Ryder hesitated, his eyes darting between Asher and the bartender. Finally, he asked the bartender how much the bill was, he counted out the cash, and handed it over him. "Can we go now?" Asher asked, sliding his small handy phone into his pocket.Ryder's eyes narrowed. "Not until you tell me where this whole money came from. L

"I need to see the manager and now!" he thundered.The room fell silent, with all eyes on Asher. Ryder looked like he was about to disappear into thin air.
