Sebastian’s eyes twitched.
After a while, he lowered his head and nudged Sasha’s head. “What do you mean ‘nonsense’? This is good!”
“Huh?”
“What are you guys standing around for? Sasha has already done all the brainstorming for you and you still don’t know what to do?” he said in a disgusted tone, glaring around at the senior executives of the company who were still loitering in the office.
The senior executives immediately came to their senses. Their presence was no longer welcome. They picked up the plans spread out on the table and walked out of the office with their heads ducked in embarrassment.
Wow, Mrs. Hayes is really clever! What a smart woman!
After the senior executives had all left, a quiet peace descended over the office. Sasha was still standing at the head of the table, looking rather embarrassed.
“Sebby, earlier…”
“Why don’t you just come and work for the company? We’ve just recently gone through a volatile time and most of our departments are understaffed… I think you’re very suited to do investment planning,” Sebastian blurted out suddenly.
He reached out a hand to gently tuck a stray strand of hair behind Sasha’s ears.
Sasha was stunned into silence.
Work here? In this company? What about Wand Enterprise then? That’s my own family’s business. I’ve never considered working here. Wouldn’t that be a bad idea? After all, I’m not just any other person; I’m his wife.
Sasha fretted to herself.
That was the difference between Sasha and those other women. Back then, Xandra had always hoped to use her relationship with Sebastian to attain a position in the company.
Roxanne, too, had always wanted to join the company.
Sasha was the only woman who was averse to becoming a part of the company.
“What’s wrong? You don’t want to work for the company? Sasha, this is a family business. You’re my wife; shouldn’t you help lighten my burdens? Do you want to see me get overworked and exhausted?”
Sebastian saw the reluctance on Sasha’s face and pouted. His handsome face became gloomy and he pulled his hand away from her unhappily.
Sasha was rendered speechless. Why is he acting like a child? His expression changed so quickly!
“No, no, that’s not what I meant. Listen to me. It’s not that I don’t want to help you out in the company. I’m just afraid that my presence here would reflect badly on you. After all, I’m not just any other person; I’m your wife.”
“What’s wrong with you being my wife? Can’t my wife work for me?”
Huh!
“Or are you unwilling to work under me? That’s not a problem! I’ll let you have my position in the company. I’m fine with that.”
He’s getting more and more outrageous! Sasha thought secretly to herself.
In the end, Sasha could not refuse him and she gave in to his request to join the company.
Little did she know that Sebastian had asked her to join the company because after he had hugged her, he could no longer smell the perfume.
He was happy as long as he did not smell it.
A man’s mind was sometimes just that simple.
