Ignoring Akiko’s reaction, Sasha strode toward her and grabbed her collar forcefully.
“I’m asking you something! Did you give it to your master right away?”
“Y-Yes…”
Akiko was so scared that she blurted out the truth.
Sasha flung her hand away and shoved her. A frosty expression crossed her face as she exuded a murderous aura.
“You’ll not leave this city alive,” she threatened calmly. Her eyes were filled with an unfamiliar and terrifying look of hostility.
Akiko immediately froze.
No… No!
After confirming that, Sasha did not stay any longer and headed to the break room immediately.
To her surprise, a man walked toward her when she was about to enter.
“Nancy…”
Solomon’s hand was stuffed in the pocket of his coat. Perhaps because he spotted Sasha, or perhaps because he had just defeated the Hayes Corporation’s legal department, there was a smile playing on his lips. He looked as elegant as a gentleman.
“I heard that you sent it over to me. I’m really grateful for that! It helped me a lot.”
When Sasha heard that, her efforts to calm herself down became futile. She started to yell uncontrollably, “What are you talking about? Don’t spout nonsense! What did I give you?”
It was rare to see her acting so emotionally.
There were panic, fear and denial mixed in her voice…
It was as if she was terrified that someone would discover what she had done. Her face was utterly pale and she was so agitated that her voice trembled.
A grim look crossed Solomon’s eyes.
Sasha would never admit it.
If she did and Sebastian heard about it, she could not imagine what he would do.
Sebastian had not returned since last afternoon as he was busy looking for Frieda. If he found out that she gave the company’s evidence to another man, thus leading to their defeat, she did not even dare to imagine the consequences.
“Let me tell you this, Solomon. I’ve never given you anything, nor have I ever thought of helping you. We were enemies right from the start, understand?”
Forcing herself to calm down, she emphasized every single word, hoping to make herself clear to Solomon.
He narrowed his eyes quietly.
Sasha was gripping her bag so forcefully that her palm turned red. When he saw that, he chose to back off.
