Chapter 620 Zane quirked an eyebrow. "Oh?"

"You're afraid that if I stick around, I'll compete with you for Anna!" Sasha had already pieced together his intentions. "That's why you keep praising the idea of starting a business. You're hoping I'll quit on a whim so I'm not here to talk to Anna all the time!"
