[Meanwhile, in Dominion's New Neighborhood.]
Ashley jogged down the stairs and spotted Nolan downstairs.
"Nolan, you're alone?" She hummed, watching Nolan turn toward her.
He smiled warmly, as usual. "The maids finished cleaning early. Are you done with your meeting, Madam?"
"Mhm." She dragged her feet toward the kitchen and checked the food on the table.
"Are you hungry, Madam?" Nolan asked as he followed her, tilting his head to study her expression.
Ashley smiled as she glanced at him. "No, I'm just checking if I can take this to my room."
"Do you want to eat in your room?"
"Mhm." She nodded. "I have some things to do, and I told the guys I'd be staying home, so they should accompany Betty. Besides, I need to handle a few things while Lucian is on a business trip."
Nolan let out a light chuckle. "Then I'll bring everything to your room."
