The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 613 "How are you feeling right now?" Sasha asked. "Yvonne doesn't love you anymore, but you're still stuck on her?"

Shane's reply was deliberate, each word carefully enunciated. "That's ridiculous. I don't feel anything for her anymore. I never cared that much in the first place, so of course, I walked away before it got too far. Still, I've got to admit, your tactics were pretty low."

Sasha didn't bother to deny it. After all, Shane hadn't exactly been kind to her in the past, either.

Not wanting to continue the conversation, Shane changed the subject. "So, why are you calling me so early?"

"I'm checking out potential office locations," Sasha explained. "After that, I'm going to compare rents in the city center with those in the suburbs. We'll see what fits the budget and sign a lease accordingly."

She wouldn't go looking for him unless it was something important.

Shane agreed with her plan without hesitation. "Fair enough."

To her, a day this significant called for using a private vehicle. She didn't trust rental cars-there was always the risk that someone might overhear their conversation about the plans.
