"WHY are you really accompanying me to this party?" Casey finally couldn't help but ask.
Earlier in the evening, before he left his house, he received an unexpected guest. It was the duke.
The other suddenly declared that he would accompany him to the launch party of EMMA's new perfume line. Before he could say any words of rejection, the other had already gone ahead and rode his own car. Acting like he's the owner, waiting for his driver. Which in this scenario would be Casey.
Casey was too stunned and shocked to even put up a fight. So, at the end, he could only ride his car and bring the other to the party. They rode in silence, not saying anything to each other. It was only when they arrived at the hotel venue and the camera flashes of reporters and paparazzi bombarded them outside that he came back to his senses.
Mini-theater:
Casey: You could be suspected as Astrid's sugar daddy!
Shocked Anthony: Aren't you more likely to be suspected as his sugar daddy?
Astrid smiling with no emotion: Please stop this weird conversation.
Wulf: (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
