Although Sasha had successfully dodged a bullet, she was still worried on the next day.
She dared not act rashly to avoid triggering Sebastian.
However, she didn’t expect to receive a call from Yancy when she arrived at the office the next day.
“Sasha, it’s so long since we last met. How have you been?”
“What do you want?” Sasha asked as she began to tremble out of fear and anger.
She was fearful too.
I wonder what does this evil woman want from me this time?
“Nothing. I just wanted to thank you for letting my son off the last time. I know he would have been in deep trouble if it wasn’t for you,” Yancy replied sweetly. She sounded like she was elderly, speaking to the younger ones.
Well, of course, Sasha didn’t buy that act of hers.
However, since she put it this way, Sasha responded coldly, “Don’t mention it. Just don’t forget your promise.”
“Of course, I won’t. Don’t worry, Sasha. I’m not the kind of person who breaks promises.” Yancy smiled.
Sasha did not respond and sighed in relief. Yet, before Sasha could hang up, Yancy continued.
“By the way, I want to ask about the Sinch Enterprise. I wonder what does Hayes Corporation plans to do with it? Would you mind telling me?”
“How would I know? I’m not in charge of this!” Sasha snapped.
Yancy was not upset by Sasha’s words. Instead, she softened her tone even more.
“Oh, come on. Don’t be upset! I merely wanted to know how much Sinch Enterprise has lost so I can do some damage control on my end. You should know, Sasha, the Hayes Corporation is supposed to be my son’s business. Hence, I wouldn’t be very pleased if it suffers a great loss.”
Her heart began to pound like crazy when she heard Yancy’s words as her small face turned as pale as a sheet!
“You…what exactly do want, Yancy? I warn you, don’t cross the line.”
“Tsk tsk, why are you saying this again? Didn’t I tell you already? I’m not asking you to do anything else. All I want to know is this, can’t you just give me some leads? Don’t be so uptight,” Yancy said as she guaranteed that she merely wanted to know about the lawsuit between Hayes Corporation and Sinch Enterprise.
Is that really all she wants to know?
Sasha didn’t know what to do as her mind was jumbled up.
“Alright, just wait for my call. I’ll get what you need and contact you soon. Don’t ever call me again.” Sasha agreed to her request and hung up.
I have no choice to do as asked. If I didn’t, I can’t say for sure what she’d do to me.
