The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 872

I felt a sense of relief knowing Sasha was ready to support me.

"But the problem we're dealing with right now is that we're one person short. We

need someone who can help us bring everything together," I explained.

At that moment, Shane walked over. He asked, "What about me?"

Sasha and I both turned to look at him, who seemed a bit uncomfortable.

He lowered his eyes and said, "I know I've messed around before and didn't take

things seriously, but I've changed. You can count on me. If you're willing to give

me a chance, I'll give it everything I've got."

I didn't doubt Shane's sincerity, but I wasn't entirely sure he had the skills we

needed.

"You really think you can handle it?" I asked.

The question caught Shane off guard.

Sasha spoke up. "Honestly, he hasn't been involved with work lately. So, I'm not

entirely sure about his abilities either."

I took a moment to consider it before suggesting, "Why don't you reach out to your

friends? See if anyone has experience with something like this?"

Shane understood where we were coming from.

"Alright, just give me a minute," he said.

"Sure."
