Eric looked at the message he received from the reception desk, wondering why it was Sasha yet again.
He looked toward Zane, who said slowly, "If you have something to say, just say it."
Eric hesitantly replied, "Ms. Weston… is currently downstairs. Reception is unsure as to whether they should have security throw her out."
If this happened before yesterday, they could be very sure that Zane didn't like Sasha, and therefore, she absolutely could not be allowed upstairs.
But yesterday…
After Sasha had broken in, she'd ended up remaining in the CEO's office for the entire day without being kicked out. Thus, they weren't certain about his attitude toward Sasha. So, naturally, they didn't dare make a hasty decision.
Zane explained calmly, "She's now Annalise's friend."
Eric understood immediately.
No matter how much Zane disliked Sasha, he could still put up with her for Annalise's sake.
Eric then replied to reception, typing, "Let her upstairs."
With nobody stopping her, Sasha made her way in unhindered.
…
When I felt the section of the couch next to me sink down, I turned and looked at Sasha, asking, "Why are you here?"
Sasha wrapped her arms around my waist and rested her chin on my shoulder.
"Of course, it's because I miss you!" she said with a smirk. She certainly didn't hide her feelings.
I continued to draw, a smile on my face.
Seemingly afraid of disrupting my work, Sasha released me and lay down lopsidedly on the couch, acting as if she were right at home. She turned her phone's volume down to the lowest setting. Then, she started playing games with a look of concentration.
