Matteo suddenly recalled how Solomon had told Sasha to go to his company should she ever needa job, and he decided to mention it to lan. Much to his surprise, lan rejected the idea immediately.“No way! We can't let her go there!” Matteo fell silent in shock. Wow! That's the most you've spokenat a time! “What's wrong? She's going to look for a job anyway,” he said. “Tell her to go to Daddy'scompany!” “Huh? Daddy's company?” “That's right! I'll settle this.” Before Matteo could say anythingelse, lan cut the line decisively. Why would I let Mommy work at someone else's company when shecan work in Daddy's company and visit him every day? I need to talk to Daddy about this when hecomes back! Unfortunately for him,Xandra had already gone to look for Sebastian at his company after the scuffle at the preschool."Greetings, Ms. Green. Long time no see! May I ask where you're headed to?” “Yeah, Ms. Green! It'sbeen a long time since we last saw you around!” Xandra walked through the crowds in silence.Unlike Sasha, whom the employees usually ignored or regarded as lan’s caregiver, everyone treatedXandra like she was a celebrity walking down the red carpet whenever she appeared at the HayesCorporation. After five years of staying by Sebastian's side, his subordinates have long sincebestowed her the unofficial title of“Mrs. Hayes’. Her ego was greatly inflated because of that, but she continued to keep a low profileto make herself less vulnerable should she ever become Mrs. Hayes in the future. When she arrivedat the President's office, the secretary greeted her warmly. She nodded in response and asked, “IsMr. Hayes free now?” “He is. Do you need me to tell him that you're here?” the secretary asked. Lukewas busy elsewhere, and a clerk in charge of receiving the President's guests picked up the phoneand called Sebastian to get his permission immediately. That applied to any guest who wishes tosee Sebastian, and Xandra was no exception. However, unbeknownst to her, Sasha had the privilegeof skipping the formalities when she visited a few days back. A few minutes later, the clerk informedher that Sebastian had approved her visit, and her shoulders sagged in relief immediately. Withoutwasting another second, she picked up her bag and walked into his office. “Sebastian... it's been solong... *she cooed, walking up to him as he sat upright behind his desk. Tears began to flow down hercheeks as she stared at the man she had wanted to see for the longest time. They have never beenseparated for so long before, but Sebastian seemed less than excited to see her. “What's wrong?” heasked calmly. “I... came to apologize, Sebastian. I got a call from the preschool today, and they toldme that the secretary general's son assaulted lan first. I have prior knowledge of that. Moreover, hisinjuries looked pretty bad, and I was scared that it would affect the company’s reputation... I'm sosorry, Sebastian! I didn't do it on purpose!” she blurted, looking pitiful and regretful. She would haveeasily fooled anyone who did not know the truth with those top-tier acting skills, but things weredifferent this time round. Sebastian glared at her coldly.“Is that your excuse? You took care of lan for five years, and yet you don’t know what his personalityis like? Do you think the company's reputation would be ruined by a preschool, of all things?” Hisvoice was colder than the chilliest caves in the world, and it made Xandra shiver. She turned pale inan instant, and the tears in her eyes disappeared into thin air. “No, Sebastian, that's not what Imeant... * “Xandra, you should have stayed put instead of making a fuss. Do you know what I hatethe most?” Sebastian asked. His gaze almost burning a hole through her eyes, sending anothershiver down her spine. “Sasha was right. You wouldn't have thought of anything else but Ian's safetyshould you regard him as your own child. You're really fake, don’t you know that?” Xandra'sdefenses collapsed the moment he said those last words. She felt as though someone had slappedher across the face, turning it into a red, burning mess. Sasha Wand! It's you again!
