The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

When Sasha heard Zane's question, she immediately raised her hand. She had the answer to his question! Sasha said, "Hooligans!"

When Sasha used to spend time with those people, she never noticed it. But now that she detached herself from that circle and Shane was disturbing her, Sasha had become grudgeful about those people.novelbin

Zane said, "That's right. People with established careers don't associate with them. However, they also can't associate with rich kids from wealthy families with good personalities.

"And so, the circle is left with rich kids who are uneducated and uncultured. Their parents condone their behavior, and their friends flatter them. Over time, they would inevitably become arrogant."

With a hint of contempt in his voice, Zane said, "When things go wrong, they don't know how to find the root of the problem. They are just like headless chickens, rushing forward when someone else takes advantage of them." Sasha exclaimed, "I'm glad that I'm no longer associated with them! Otherwise, I would end up like one of them-brainless idiots."

Zane didn't deny what Sasha said. "Considering everything I just said, my guess is... After this, somebody will egg Shane on, and Shane will likely continue finding trouble with you."

Sasha took a deep breath. Upon seeing how down Sasha seemed, Zane comforted her.

"Don't worry. Since you're working at our company, I'll try to fix this for you."

"Really?" Sasha asked excitedly.

Zane nodded and said, "Yes."

Meanwhile, I gazed at Zane. He was the most normal man I've ever met. He was also willing to protect his employees; when they ran into trouble, he never turned a blind eye. Zane also treated everyone kindly. Zane turned around and met my eyes. Then, he held my hand.

Just then, food was served.

With a serious expression, Sasha said, "As my token of thanks, I will get back to work immediately after lunch. I will not procrastinate anymore!"

Sasha stopped chatting with us and focused on eating. She was determined to work hard and become an important asset to the company.

Sasha dreamed of climbing to a high

position in the company. That way, if Shane came to see her, her secretary would have to say, "m sorry, but she's busy right now!"

Then, Shane would have to wait hours to finally meet her and beg to collaborate with her. Sasha would then shoot Shane an icy look and say, I'm sorry, but your company is not good enough!"

At that thought, Sasha became even е more motivated. After finishing her meal, she bid us farewell and said, "Enjoy your meal. I'm going to get back to work!"

Sasha wasn't scared of all the workaholics on her team. After all, she was determined to be the greatest workaholic of them all!

...

I chuckled as I watched Sasha walk away.

Zane asked, "Don't you think she bounces back really quickly?"

I nodded and said, "Yeah. She was angry moments ago, but she's all okay now!"

Zane said nonchalantly, "Such is youth. Her emotions come and go so quickly."

Then, Zane patted my hand and said, "We should focus on our meal. Otherwise, the food will go cold."

"Okay," I said, shifting my focus to the food.

Today's lunch was delicious and perfectly suited to my taste.
