23: DIFFERENT

Asher strolled into the mini-study where Jared always took care of his own duties. He looked around the room, he hadn't been here in three whole years and nothing much have changed.

The room had a single shelve, with books neatly arranged in it, a table stacked up with files, and two chairs on either side of the table, facing each other. It wasn't a spacious room, just one large enough for Jared to get his job done.

Asher's eyes drifted to Jared, who seem busy going through different documents patiently. He was a little bit older than himself and Simon but was meticulous about his duty.

He had received the job of a butler when he was way younger than he is now, as opposed to other butlers who only got such a job around the age of thirty or so. Unfortunately, even though they have both worked for the same family for years and have seen themselves, many times, he and this man didn't know themselves well enough to call themselves friends, so he thinks he would settle for acquaintance.
