Not a bad partner

"I thought since you two seemed a little close, there's something going on between the two of you already. So, I'm relieved to know it seemed I misunderstood something."

"You don't like her, do you?" Ezekiel inquired curiously, keeping his warm smile. 

For a moment, Asher couldn't respond to the guy simply because he was taken aback by the guy's straightforwardness. 

"No," said Asher, making Ezekiel's smile stretch broader. 

"Then I can pursue her without offending you," Ezekiel chuckled, while Asher arched a brow. 

"You will pursue her?" Asher let out a dry laugh. "Why? You just met her. You don't even know what sort of person she is."

"I know she's good," Ezekiel announced without a second hesitation. "Our brief interaction with her is enough for me to know she isn't a bad person."

"Right…" Asher rocked his head as he chuckled. "Even if she turns out a bad one, her family name, wealth, and connections aren't terrible for sure."
