The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 267

Satisfied, Sasha hooked her arm around mine and said, "It's nothing to be embarrassed about."

When she spoke, she glanced around to ensure no one was around and pulled me into the office. After shutting the door, she said in a hushed voice, "I managed to hack into Game Department's system! I know everything now! I know what happened recently and also in the past!" But even after discovering so many secrets, she couldn't tell anyone about them. She could keep them in her heart. It bothered her so much that, after mulling it over, she decided to skip work and come to talk to me about it.

I plopped on the couch and placed my bag on the table beside me. "Are you really that good at hacking?"

Sasha sat beside me. She tilted her chin upward a little, seemingly proud of her achievement. "That goes without saying!"

She looked so pleased with herself that I found it amusing. I felt the corners of my mouth lift into a smile.

She was so young and so full of life.

Sasha wasted no time telling me about all the gossip she'd heard, and my jaw dropped listening to her.

When she was done gossiping about her colleagues, she recalled the incident two days ago and told me, "Do you remember that guy from two days ago? I didn't agree to become his girlfriend, and he found himself another woman to be his girlfriend." "Yeah, I remember." I nodded.
