The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

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!"

If Sasha were to quit, Annalise would be spending every day in the office with Zane!

Resolute in avoiding that, Sasha decided she'd stick around with Annalise at work until retirement. She snickered inwardly. There was no way she'd let Zane win.

Shane gave Sasha's arm a light pat. "Mr. Huxham is incredibly busy. He doesn't have the time for what you're accusing him of."

Sasha shot back irritably, "You haven't spent enough time around him. Of course, you wouldn't know what he's really like."

Zane didn't even try to mask his disappointment. "Guess that plan didn't work."
