Meanwhile, just outside the coffee shop, Red and Rum stood by the entrance.
From their spot, they could see Ashley and that silver-haired trash talking.
"The hell?" Rum grumbled in disbelief. "How in the world does she know someone like that?"
Red didn't answer, keeping his attention on Ashley and the man with her. His expression remained stern and grim as he studied the tattoo peeking from the man's neck.
"Say, Rum… am I tripping?" he asked without looking away. "Isn't that tattoo the symbol of the White Serpent?"
Rum raised his brows and glanced at Red's side profile.
It was true that Ashley told them to wait in the parking lot. She was just going to send Shyaan off and didn't plan to stay long. However, no matter how questionable Ashley's reputation and image were in their minds, protecting her was still their job.
So, they came to check on her.
Then, they saw her bump into someone.
