Sasha paused and looked around before she realized what was going on.
“It’s…it’s nothing. I was just thinking if Sabrina would talk to me again. She called in this afternoon and gave me a round of hard scolding,” Sasha lied.
I am so good at lying now…
Sebastian didn’t doubt her words. Instead, he placed his fork down and handed her a bowl of soup.
“No, of course not. She won’t hold a grudge on you, silly. Let’s not forget she’s dumber than you are.”
What is that supposed to mean? Did he really have to say that?
Sasha waited on him as he finished his food before asking, “So…about you and Devin. Are you guys cool now?”
“What do you think?” Sebastian asked as he slowly wiped his hands with a napkin and stared at Sasha.
Sasha’s heart began to pound as a sense of guilty conscience came over her. It was as if she was caught doing something bad.
“Why are you asking me? It’s your business, anyways.”
“I know. But, aren’t you the one who warned me not to get close with him? So now I’m asking you, should I distance myself from him?” Sebastian asked seriously.
Sasha’s mouth gaped wide open in surprise.
She stared at him like a fool for some time before she asked, “You’d listen to me?”
“Of course.” Sebastian nodded solemnly.
Sasha gulped and pondered for a moment before she answered. She eyed him cautiously and clenched her teeth and replied, “Yes! I think it’s better that way.”
Sebastian grinned. “Hmm? Why do I have the feeling that you see him as a monster?”
“Am I wrong? I just think that you should be more cautious about it. Yancy is the best example, she’s full of tricks! Who knows what sort of dirty tricks she has up her sleeve? Hence, we’d better have our guards up.”
“Well, if you don’t want to break off your friendship with him, you could also reconcile after you’ve dealt with Sinch Enterprise and Yancy.”
Sasha was worried Sebastian might be upset. So, she deliberately said it childishly and glanced at him, puppy-eyed.
“Hmm.”
The corner of Sebastian’s eyes twitched vigorously!
What a silly girl!
He shook his head helplessly as he didn’t believe her words.
However, I would stop contacting Devin for now if that’s what she wishes. Although she tends to say all sorts of nonsense to me, I know that she wouldn’t harm me. Never ever!
The couple rested for a short time after lunch before they headed back to work.
