Chapter 86
Considering how he had turned down her proposition during their blind date, Zane thought they had reached a consensus: they would not work out in the long run.
Sasha should have seen other people and gone on other blind dates after that. He certainly hadn’t expected her to turn up at his office. Frowning, Zane blocked her way and asked, “Can I help you?”
Sasha scowled when he refused to let her through. “Why did you turn me down when I asked to meet you tomorrow?”
She followed up with an accusatory tone, “Is it because you don’t want to see me?”
Zane made his stance clear. “Yes. Ms. Weston, I think we’ve talked about many things in detall during our first meeting” He added pointedly. “I do not and will not agree to what you suggested.
“With that said, we should stop wasting each other’s time with these pointless meetings, don’t you think?”
Sasha did not seem to realize his reproach, for she countered boldly, “But I like your face, and I think you should try to date me. You might fall in love with me as we hang out over time and prioritize me over Willow! Who knows, you might willingly send her to live with some relative after that.”
She would never allow herself to become someone’s stepmother.
Zane bit out without hesitation, “No way.”
“How would you know if you never tried? Sasha challenged
“Because I would never date anyone who won’t accept my daughter,” Zane said, deadpan and impassive. “Do you get it now?”
Headstrong as she was, Sasha was about to argue with him when he continued, “If you get it, then leave and never bother me again. If you insist on staying, I’ll call security. I’m sure they have ways to make you leave.”
I walked up to Zane and asked, “Who was that young lady?”
Zane met my gaze, chuckling. “A blind date.”
