The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)
Chapter 596

Sasha paused and looked around before she realized what was going on.

“It's...it's nothing. I was just thinking if Sabrina would talk to me again. She called in this afternoonand gave me a round of hard scolding,” Sasha lied.

I am so good at lying now...

Sebastian didn't doubt her words. Instead, he placed his fork down and handed her a bowl of soup.“No, of course not. She won't hold a grudge on you, silly. Let's not forget she’s dumber than youare.”

What is that supposed to mean? Did he really have to say that?

Sasha waited on him as he finished his food before asking, “So...about you and Devin. Are you guyscool now?"

"What do you think?” Sebastian asked as he slowly wiped his hands with a napkin and stared atSasha.

Sasha's heart began to pound as a sense of guilty conscience came over her. It was as if she wascaught doing something bad.

"Why are you asking me? It's your business, anyways.”

“I know. But, aren't you the one who warned me not to get close with him? So now I'm asking you,should I distance myself from him?” Sebastian asked seriously.

Sasha's mouth gaped wide open in surprise.

She stared at him like a fool for some time before she asked, “You'd listen to me?”

"Of course.” Sebastian nodded solemnly.

Sasha gulped and pondered for a moment before she answered. She eyed him cautiously andclenched her teeth and replied, “Yes! I think it's better that way.”

Sebastian grinned. “Hmm? Why do I have the feeling that you see him as a monster?”

“Am I wrong? I just think that you should be more cautious about it. Yancy is the best example, she’sfull of tricks! Who knows what sort of dirty tricks she has up her sleeve? Hence, we'd better have ourguards up.”

“Well, if you don't want to break off your friendship with him, you could also reconcile after you'vedealt with Sinch Enterprise and Yancy.”

Sasha was worried Sebastian might be upset. So, she deliberately said it childishly and glanced athim, puppy-eyed.

"Hmm."

The corner of Sebastian's eyes twitched vigorously!

What a silly girl!

He shook his head helplessly as he didn't believe her words.

However, I would stop contacting Devin for now if that's what she wishes. Although she tends to sayall sorts of nonsense to me, I know that she wouldn't harm me. Never ever!

The couple rested for a short time after lunch before they headed back to work.

Sebastian immediately drowned himself with his work in the company.

As for Sasha, she picked up and her phone and sent Yancy a text message as soon as she arrived ather office.

Sasha: Apparently, the case is about to end. Don't worry about the compensation, it's nothing youcan't afford. The worst-case scenario would be handing over the shares of the Hayes Corporationthat you own alongside some monetary compensation.

Sasha decided to leave out the part about the legal responsibilities the person in charge would haveto face. She didn't want to anger Yancy.

However, she was clueless that Yancy had known about the situation the moment Sasha called thelegal department to ask.

“Mrs. Tsurka, I believe Sasha is lying too, right?”

“Lying? Isn't that what she always do? Let's not forget that I know of her dirty little secret. She'dknow better than to upset me unless she has a death wish.”

Yancy was not surprised at Sasha's behavior.

Yet, Yancy's housekeeper was confused.

Why did she ask her to replace out about the lawsuit even though she knew Sasha wouldn't be honestabout it? Wouldn't Akiko be a better choice for this task?

“Mrs. Tsurka, so what is the purpose of this...?"

“It was only the chance for me to contact her once again. Or else, what reason would I have toapproach her? I am someone who keeps my promises you know...”

Yancy was trimming the flower branches in her garden as she laughed so hard her features weredistorted.

A man of his words?

The housekeeper instantly understood her motive as her heart went cold.

So this was her plan all along, she set Sasha up just to make her lie. Once she does, Mrs. Tsurkawould state that Sasha lied to her. Not only would the Hayes Corporation ask Sinch Enterprise forcompensation, but Mrs. Tsurka’s son would also have to prison. I'm sure she would be very upsetand angry.

Once that happens, she would have the power to control Sasha once again.

What a terrible woman she is. I can't believe she’s so vicious and scheming to such a point...“Speaking of which, where are the photos? Have you gotten them?”

“Yes.” The housekeeper sent Yancy the photos she asked for.

It was two photos of Sasha working in the company. Yet, the photos of her were much more eye-catching this time.

For example, the first photo was Sasha discussing work with the staff of her department. She worean elegant and professional-looking suit paired with light makeup to complete the look. She lookedlike a leader with a bold personality yet didn't overshadow her femininity as a woman.

All in all, she was heartthrob.

As for the second photo, it was even more interesting.

It was a photo of Sasha and Sebastian. The couple wasn't often seen together in public nor do theydisplay public affection to avoid suspicion or gossip. Sasha would always visit Sebastian at his officeor they'd meet at the lounge on the top floor.
