Sebastian caught her reaction. Distaste shone in his eyes once more, and he shouted impatiently, “Guards!”
“Mr. Hayes.”
“Get her out of here, and in the future, do not let her set foot in here without my permission.”
His symmetrical, handsome face oozed cruelty as he issued that order mercilessly. He sat there and never took another look at the woman.
His gaze remained ferocious.
Sasha stared numbly.
She remained in a daze even after they dragged her out of the office. At that moment, she didn’t even know where she was anymore. It felt like she was dreaming.
He actually asked for a divorce, and he was so adamant about it that he would go to the courthouse to sue me if I refuse to sign the divorce papers.
Why? Didn’t we just agree to start anew and live together happily as a family? How did things suddenly turn out like this?
Sasha stood in front of the elevator.
“Madam, where are you going? The operational department is that way,” said the guy who dragged her away after he saw how she was standing still. He even pointed in the right direction for her.
Unfortunately, Sasha couldn’t seem to hear him.
She stood there numbly for a while before she stepped forward and walked out of the office like a zombie.
“What’s up with her? Did something actually happen?”
“Obviously. Did you see how shattered she looks? I heard that she barged into her husband’s office just moments ago.”
“I simply don’t understand. She already has it all, so what was she thinking?”
The gossip around the office never ended, even though everyone saw how terrible she looked.
They’re right. What the hell was I thinking?
Sasha left the office like she was a zombie and wondered where she should go. She scanned around while in a daze, then she turned right.
Ten minutes or so later, Luke barged into Sebastian’s office and reported, “Something terrible happened, Mr. Hayes. Madam… She went to the metro station.”
The guy working away at his desk did not take a pause, his hands kept swirling the tip of his pen against the paper as he asked, “So what? Do you feel like chasing after her?”
Luke was speechless.
What the hell does that mean? She’s not my wife, so why would I chase after her? I only came to report my findings.
What Luke found to be strange, however, was that Sebastian would usually put his job aside whenever he heard about how Sasha was acting out of character.
Yet, at that moment, Sebastian behaved like he didn’t even know who she was.
