The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 204

Zane barely acknowledged Sasha's gratitude with a nonchalant hum. He then added, "But I'm still working on winning Anna over. Keep it cool when you're around her. Don't expose me."

Sasha immediately understood. "I get it. You don't want me telling Anna you have feelings for her, or she'll distance herself, making it harder for you to pursue her, right?"

Zane gave her an approving look and nodded. "Exactly."

After saying that, he scrutinized Sasha for a moment before hesitantly asking, "Can I ask you something?"

"Me?" Sasha pointed at herself in disbelief.

Zane replied seriously, "Yes."

Sasha leaned against the wall with a smug smile. "Go ahead."

Zane didn't beat around the bush. "Do you know how to pursue someone?"

She had pursued him before, so she must have some experience. Zane decided to humbly learn from her.

At once, Sasha's smile faded, and the way she looked at Zane shifted. "Are you messing with me right now?"

Zane didn't understand what she meant. "Why would you say that?"

Sasha wanted to snap at him. However, she didn't want anyone to overhear, so she lowered her voice as she said, "I've only ever pursued you. And I failed! Now you want to learn from me? Isn't that just rubbing salt in my wound?"

She glared at him.

Realizing her point, Zane fell silent for a long moment before asking, "But you must have a lot of admirers, right?"

Sasha responded sarcastically, "Oh, plenty."

When she noticed Zane's look of genuine curiosity, she continued before he could ask, "If any of the guys who pursued me were actually nice, do you think I'd still be single?"

Zane thought about it for a second and couldn't argue with her logic.
