At Xander and Asher's table, Asher's gaze moved across the room, habitually observing his surroundings as he took in the elegant setup and glittering crowd. But a certain figure caught his eye—Victor, sipping his champagne, his focus unwavering as he stared across the tables.
Following his line of sight, Asher was surprised to realize that Victor's gaze was locked on none other than Aurora.
With a quick nudge to Xander, Asher leaned over. "Looks like you've got some competition," he murmured, his tone light but meaningful.
Xander's brows knitted. "Competition? From who?"
Asher inclined his head subtly toward Victor. "That troublemaker, Victor. He hasn't taken his eyes off your wife for a while."
Xander's gaze followed, darkening as it landed on Victor, who sat a few rows back with his champagne glass raised.
"I didn't know the Swift family kept company with people like him," Asher muttered under his breath.
