The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

At that time, when Sasha heard what her friend said, she felt confused. Then, she wanted to curse Shane out.

The two put on a dramatic show about their romance and involved a person who had exited their lives, had been focusing on her job, and had not been in contact with them.

Sasha wondered if she was an essential part of their dramatic relationship.

Frowning, Sasha asked, "Are they nuts?"

I agreed and said, "I think so."

Zane also thought that they were odd. He wondered if such weird people existed in this world.

After hearing my response, Sasha felt a little better. She said, "I thought so too. I heard from my dad, but Shane called my dad in a frenzy that night. He said that my dad was irresponsible to have educated me into a cruel woman who didn't care about human life. He said that my dad had to pay for it, too."

I hurriedly asked, "How did your father respond?"

"He recorded the call and sent it to Shane's father," Sasha said.

After taking a deep breath, she continued, "Then, my father blocked his number."

I held my fist to my chin as I tried to recall what Sasha had said earlier. Then, I asked, "Are they immersed in some roleplay as a CEO and his stand-in lover?"

But Sasha wasn't curious about their lives." It beats me. Poor me. I was just doing my own thing, but I was turned into the villain in their love story. Isn't that ridiculous?"

Sasha thought it would make sense if she had been like Jessica-texting Shane every day, pretending to be weak or uninterested, yet contacting him daily. If so, it would have been rational for the couple to hate her.

If they disliked Sasha for that, it would've been acceptable. But the truth was Sasha had never done any of that.

I nodded and said, "It's ridiculous, indeed."

After listening to our conversation, Zane chimed in and asked, "When he was threatening your father, did he say what he planned to do to your father?"

Sasha shook her head and said, "I

have no idea My dad never told me about it. He always says I'm still young and doesn't want me to worry about the business. I know that my father hopes that I can always be a happy little girl."

Sasha grew up in a very happy family. Her parents doted on and loved her a lot.

Sasha continued, "My plan right now is to do a good job with the project at hand. If it performs well when it launches, I can also make a lot of money!

"That way, even if anything goes wrong with my dad's business, I can support them financially."

With a proud expression, Sasha said, "My dad wouldn't have expected his daughter to be so independent."novelbin

I lightly patted Sasha on her

shoulder and said, "You've grown a lot in just a few days. Your parents would be happy to see this. Lately I've also started to earn money If you need any funds, just let me know. I'll do my best to help you."

Sasha, feeling touched, jumped into my embrace and said, "Thank you! You're amazing. I love you."

I hummed lightly and patted Sasha on her shoulders.

Sasha grumpily said, "I heard the crazy couple is still trying to find trouble with me. I hope I don't encounter them." Just then, Zane was done with his work. He said, "Let's go for lunch."

And so, I got up and said, "Let's go."

The three of us went downstairs to the cafeteria together, but something happened just after ordering our food.
