"It's okay, Asher. You can get away with it." He murmured and decided to go out. 

On his way out, he saw Russ talking to Max. He didn't continue going out since he plans to go to her office to say sorry for what he did a while ago. 

He just waited until one hour.

Max POV 

"What? I--do--not know what you're talking about. What do you mean?", I asked him with my trembling lips.
