Chapter 13

• Lily and Asher went to another restaurant and had their breakfast there, and Lily took that opportunity to tell Asher everything she had discussed with Mrs Darby, Gloria.
• A big smile stretched across Asher's face at the news, and he wanted to tell her how proud he was of her. Instead, he cleared his throat and raised his glass of juice, "Congratulations on securing such a deal. It's one that doesn't come easy." The grin on Lily's face widened, and she raised her glass as well. They both clinked it together, before taking a sip and setting it down. "Also, thank you very much for securing an invite to that dinner party. It'll give me an opportunity to finalize the deal with Mr Darby, we already went over some of the important details earlier this morning. I was misinformed about him rejecting the deal."
• The worry that had been unconsciously etched on Lily's heart about the dinner party disappeared with his words. Asher wasn't one to attend such events, and all these while she's been married to him, they've only gone for 2 dinner parties. Their wedding dinner party, and his 10th year anniversary party as CEO'. She had been worried he'd say no to this as well, and she'd have to miss out on yet another wonderful opportunity. Raising her glass to her lips, she took another sip of the juice, and swallowed the question that had popped into her head as she thought of his invitation. Would he still have gone if his business deal wasn't involved? A large part of her already believes that he wouldn't, he after all hasn't given her a reason to think otherwise, therefore she chose to swallow her question and spare herself the chance to be hurt adversely by his response.
