Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover Chapter 1294

Sasha froze and stared at him with a blank face for almost a minute. She found herself not able to utter a single word in response.

Through his words, she knew that he had let go of her.

Though she was happy about it, she also felt guilty and sad when she saw how composed he was because she was indebted to him.

Later that evening, the rightful owner of Royal Court One at Frontier Bay returned, despite still in a coma.

All the relatives and close friends of the Hayeses were invited over. Among them were the Wands and the Blackwoods. It was a really merry scene.

However, the lights on the top floor of Hayes Corporation were still brightly lit.

“Mr. Akiyama, aren’t you heading over?”

Akiko was still working when she realized that the president was still in his office. After hesitating, she decided to post the question.

The man in the office glanced at her through the corner of his eye. “Whatever for?”

The brief and unexpected reply rendered Akiko speechless.

She stood there for a while and left. Shortly after, she returned with two bottles of authentic sake from Jetroina.

“Sake, Mr. Akiyama?”

What?

Solomon gazed at that Jetroinian woman standing at his door. For a split second, he really wanted to shoo her away as he found her annoying. He did not want her to keep disturbing him.

However, when he saw how careful she was, trying to please him. He said nothing but nodded to indicate that he had accepted her invitation.

About ten minutes later, two of them starting downing the liquor at the coffee table, one glass after another.

“Mr. Akiyama, you’ve sacrificed at least half of our people for the sake of saving him. Do you regret that decision? He’s your love rival, isn’t he? If things go well for him, you will lose your chance to win her.” After a few shots, Akiko grew bolder.

Her questions made Solomon turn grim. “You’ve had too much to drink.”

“Right. I’m sorry.” A quick reprimand silenced her. Regaining her senses, she bowed her head and dared not say anything further.

Solomon continued drinking.

“Um… Mr. Akiyama, are you going back to Jetroina two days later for the ceremony? Your mother’s death anniversary is just around the corner…”

“No!” the man shot a firm reply while furrowing his brows.

Akiko’s face fell.

As they continued drinking, they heard the sound of a woman’s heels approaching. Click-cluck, click-cluck.

“Solomon? You really are here. Why aren’t you attending the party at Nancy’s house? She asks me to come and get you.”
