Ashers Pov

I don't know why Tessa came today to ask me for help? I don't know why she cares so much or wants  to get to the bottom of the feud so badly. But I don't know if I should help her? Do I hate her? Yes and she hates me. So her asking for help, is strange. I've been trying to focus on work all day but I can't get Tessa out of my mind ever since she walked in. I shrug it off and decide to head to the bar for a drink.

Once I reach the bar, I take a seat, order a drink and think about what Tessa said.

I then get in my car and go back home for a long night of more work. Yes, I decided to take the position and become CEO of my grandfathers company. I realized I needed to get my priorities straight.

After working, I decide to make myself some dinner and eat. When i'm done I go up to my room and decide to text Tessa.

Tessa
Hey, Yes I will help you and that's all. - Asher

I send her the text and she replies fairly quickly

Thank you Asher. Can we meet up tmrw to make out a plan? - Tessa

I reply with a simple sure and decide to head to bed.

I wake up the next morning and decide to workout, it's a Sunday and since I don't have work, I wanted to sleep in a little.

Once I'm finished working out I decide to call Tessa.

"Hello" She says
"Hey, I was wondering what time and where should we meet up?"
"Um, How about at 1 at Bean Cafe?"
"Sure sounds good" I say then hang up
I head to my car and got a coffee on the way home. Once I got home I cleaned up a little bit and got ready for the day.

It's 12:30 when i'm finished getting ready so then I head out to my car and drive off to the cafe

I go and sit across from her.
"Hey" I say casually
"Hi" she says
we sit in a silence for a moment
"So how exactly are we going to do this?" I say
"Well I was thinking I could try and get into my grandpas office and maybe find something. Maybe they had a bad business deal or My grandpa decided  to make a deal with someone who doesn't like the Ryan's. No offense" she says casually
"None taken. I guess I'll do the same but it isn't going to be easy."
"I know and Thanks for this but I have to go now but let me know if you find something." she says smiling
As she's walking away I say
"By the way, this is strictly business and I still can't stand you."
She turns around.
"I know and I can't stand you either." she says
"Good"
"Good"
