It had been a month since Luna's fashion show made headlines and turned her into a rising icon in the fashion world. Magazine features, interviews, influencer collabs, Luna Wolfe was a name on every stylish lip.
And that came with attention.
Too much of it, in Asher's opinion.
Especially from Noah King, a famous actor, charming, award-winning, and far too smooth for Asher's liking. His latest movie was premiering in New York, and Luna had been invited to style some of the cast. Noah had taken an immediate interest in her, one he didn't hide. Flirtatious comments. Lingered glances. And worst of all?
Luna wasn't shutting it down fast enough.
Back at Asher's penthouse that evening, tension sat thick in the air. Luna tossed her heels by the door, her dress still hugging her body, makeup untouched from the event.
Asher stood by the bar, drink in hand, jaw clenched.
"You're quiet," she noted, pulling out her earrings.
