The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Madeline waited a few minutes before sneaking out of the restaurant. She then hurriedly ran to the game department where Sasha was. "Sasha!" she exclaimed.

Sasha immediately ran over when she heard the voice. "How did it go?"

Madeline said with ill intent, "I did everything you arranged!"

Sasha wore a mischievous smile. "Then let's go watch the fun."

Although Zane had been kind to her and had pointed out many work-related issues for Douglas, he was only helping because of Annalise.

Sasha grabbed Madeline's hand and urged, "Hurry!"

Madeline was full of excitement. "Let's go!"
