The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

Shortly after, Ian and Susan left the company and were sent to the hotel.

"Are you tired?" Susan asked concernedly.

On their way there, she noticed Ian had shut his eyes and was furrowing his brows, leaning against the back of the chair as they sat inside the car.

She had seen him in that manner when they were at Yartran in the past.

At that time, the company faced a lot of issues when it was just established. Ian would experience such a condition when too many thoughts occupied his mind, and he could not take a break from being mentally exhausted.

Back then, Susan would always help relieve his condition whenever he wore that agonized expression.

However, perhaps it was due to the driver's presence in the front seat, Ian shook his head despite the apparent fatigued look on his face.

"I'm fine. What plan do you have in mind? Did you visit the Finance Department today?"

"I did. There aren't any issues with the company's accounts. Nevertheless, the company is not doing well financially because we have been in the red these few months.”

Susan recollected herself and began seriously discussing work.

Upon hearing that, Ian merely grunted in response.

"I expected this to happen because of those local tyrants' influence. A war will be inevitable and we'll need to prepare for it at once. You'll begin work at the Finance Department tomorrow. The first thing to do is to tidy up the accounts there."

Susan remained silent in the car for a long while before finally agreeing, "Okay..."

An uneventful night ensued.
