They headed to the office in silence, and Sasha figured that Sebastian still hated her.
Maybe he doesnât even remember that Iâm here⦠As she calmed down, her disappointment returned as
well.
So this is my fate?
After they reached the office building, Sebastian pulled into the reserved parking spot and alighted from
the car to ride his exclusive lift to his office.
Sasha did the same, only to be stopped by him.
âWhat do you think youâre doing?â he asked coldly.
Sasha froze. He finally spoke upâ¦
She shrugged nonchalantly. âIâm going outside, Mr. Hayes. No one in this company knows me, and Iâd
rather not let them see me with you.â
With that, she grabbed her bag and scurried off before he could say anything in response.
He stood rooted to the ground in silence as his face darkened like the sky before a storm, but he left
soon after without another word.
As for Sasha, she walked into the building through the front door with her head held high after escaping
from the carpark.
âGreetings, miss. May I ask what youâre here for?â
âOh⦠who? Me?â
Sasha was distracted for a moment as she stared at the receptionist in confusion.
Wait, whatâs my position again? What am I going to do? Wait for him to assign me work after I go to his
office? Thatâs going to take forever!
He might even have forgotten about me, considering how much he hates meâ¦
She frowned and decided to give it a shot. âIâm here to look for a job. Are there any vacant positions in
your company?â
âHuh? Youâre looking for a job? Have you sent your resume to our HR department yet?â the receptionist
asked, shocked.
Does she think that this is a market where she could just pick and choose a job as she wishes?
Unbeknownst to the receptionist, that was exactly what Sasha was going to do.
All she needed was a job to satisfy her sonâs request, and she decided on a clerk position in the
business department in the end.
She walked up the stairs to the interview room nonchalantly, only to bump into Luke after the interview
was over.
He was tasked with looking for âthe Presidentâs wifeâ, which happened to be Sasha. By the time he found
her, she had already passed the interview like it was nothing.
âAre you sure youâre going to recruit her?â he asked the head of the business department in shock.
âWhy not? No one has ever gotten full marks on this test?â the head of the business department said
while waving the test in front of Lukeâs eyes.
Luke fell silent as he looked at the sheer number of red ticks on the paper.
With a sigh, he walked over to Sashaâs side and said, âMadam, would you like to work in the Presidentâs
office? The work there isnât as taxing as this⦠â
âItâs fine. Iâd rather work here,â Sasha said, cutting him off. She picked up a stack of documents and
headed over to the photocopier machine to avoid him.
The last thing she wanted was to face that scum of a man everyday.
Luke pursed his lips but did not say anything else. He headed upstairs again after muttering a few words
of caution.
When he returned to the Presidentâs office, Sebastian was still hunched over the documents on his table
just like how he had been when Luke left. He was late that day, and things have already piled up on his
table by the time he arrived. Luke hesitated before walking up to him and saying, âMr. Hayes, the
business department has already taken Ms. Wand in.â
âThe business department?â Sebastian said, looking up with a raised eyebrow.
After a few seconds, his confused expression turned into a smug grin.
Wait⦠why is he smirking?
Did he already know that sheâs going to the business department or something?
âDid you see this coming, Mr. Hayes?â Luke asked, confused.
Sebastian shook his head with a grin. âSheâs just here to fulfil Ianâs request, so thereâs no way sheâll take
this seriously. I bet she chose the business department out of interest.â
âInterest? She likes doing business?â
âI think so. Do you remember that call from Nikkawa-Gen?â Sebastian asked.
Luke froze for a moment. âNikkawa-Gen? Do you mean that company that we didnât manage to acquire?â
âYeah. She was the one who took the call, and she noticed things that even the vice president of the
business department didnât see. Sheâs talented, so Iâm not surprised she picked that department in the
end,â Sebastian answered calmly.
