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 afternoon and
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 you are.”

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 guys
cool now?”

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

Sasha’s heart began to pound as a sense of guilty conscience came over her. It was as if she was
caught 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 and
clenched 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’s
full of tricks! Who knows what sort of dirty tricks she has up her sleeve? Hence, we’d better have our
guards up.”

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

Sasha was worried Sebastian might be upset. So, she deliberately said it childishly and glanced at him,
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 say all
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 at
her office.



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

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

However, she was clueless that Yancy had known about the situation the moment Sasha called the
legal 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’d know
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 find out about the lawsuit even though she knew Sasha wouldn’t be honest
about 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 to
approach 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 were
distorted.

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. Tsurka
would state that Sasha lied to her. Not only would the Hayes Corporation ask Sinch Enterprise for
compensation, but Mrs. Tsurka’s son would also have to prison. I’m sure she would be very upset and
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 wore an
elegant and professional-looking suit paired with light makeup to complete the look. She looked like 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 they
display public affection to avoid suspicion or gossip. Sasha would always visit Sebastian at his office or
they’d meet at the lounge on the top floor.
