Sasha had not met Solomon ever since they fell out at the airport six months ago.
In fact, she would have forgotten about him if he hadn’t approached Andy to liquidate his company. Similarly, their encounter wouldn’t have taken place.
When Andy brought Solomon into the company, he noticed Sasha. As he approached her, he suggested, “Nancy, since you’re both friends, why don’t I leave this to you?”
Sasha hesitated.
Although she was very unwilling, she still agreed to his request. After all, Andy was her boss, and she couldn’t reject him without a logical reason.
Seeing him for the first time after six months, Sasha noticed that Solomon had lost a lot of weight. In contrast to the cheery person she used to know, the man before her seemed sullen, and his disheveled beard made him look like a completely different person.
“Take a seat. I’ll get you a glass of water.” Sasha led him to her office and poured him a glass of water.
Solomon was taken back by her courtesy and said, “Thank you.”
Sasha eyed him emotionlessly as she returned to her desk. “What happened? How did your company become like this? I thought that it was doing pretty well.”
“Indeed. However, many things have happened in the past six months. The staff responsible for software development imitated someone else’s work and was sued in court. Hence, I was forced to pay a heavy compensation that led to the downfall of my company.” Solomon smiled bitterly as he held the glass of water in hand.
Sasha remained silent as she listened to his story.
She was unsure of what to say, so she decided to turn on the computer to prepare for the sellout.
Fortunately, Solomon came at the right time. The reputation of Prime Cloud Corporation’s stocks had not been ruined yet. Hence, Sasha was able to catch the public’s eye, and many people began to buy in at a large amount.
“It’s done. You can probably receive the money by tomorrow.”
“Alright. Thank you, Nancy.” He let out a sigh of relief.
Sasha replied indifferently, “No problem. This is purely business. I’m only helping you since you’re paying me a commission. I’m just doing my job,” she answered in a business-like manner.
Solomon went pale but did not say a word. After getting to his feet, he left the room.
Sasha did not meet his gaze. Instead, she picked up her pen and got back to work as soon as he stepped out of the room. However, she heard a loud thump moments later.
“Oh my god! What happened to him? Why did he faint? Nancy? Nancy! Your client passed out! Come quick!”
Sasha sprang from her chair and ran out of her office to see the man passed out cold on the ground.
How did this happen?
Sasha did not have the chance to ask Andy about the project and brought Solomon home straight away.
