No Strings Attached novel (Clara and Ian) novel Chapter 354

Chase strolled over and chimed in with a casual smile, "Is Carolina still chatting with Casey? I've got a table reserved at the restaurant. Dinner's on me tonight."

Sasha ground her teeth, her youthful face clouded with a stormy scowl. "My mom's already clued into the truth, so cut the act, Dr. Chase. Go do whatever you do when you're not pretending." She spun her wheelchair around and took off without a backward glance.

Chase was bewildered, "What did I do to tick her off now? She was fine just a moment ago, and now she's angry again?"

Ian kept his insights to himself, his face splitting into a sly grin, "Why do you have such a beef with arranged marriages? Have you met the girl before?"

"When we were kids, she was like a little shadow, always teary-eyed and crying. She was a total princess with a silver spoon in her mouth. No way could I stand her."

"You don't even remember her name?"

"Something like Salsa, I think."

Ian's lips curled into a stifled chuckle, amused at his friend's blunder. How had Chase never connected Sasha with that little girl?

Ian slapped Chase on the shoulder with a meaningful look and teased, "With your brains, no wonder you're still single."

Chase was riled up and shot back, "Like you're one to talk. You were this close to having your family taken away."

Ian shot him a glare and walked away, heading into the hospital room.
