The assistant was speechless.
What could he say, anyway? His boss had always been smart and diligent, except when things involved a particular woman. That was when Solomon would act completely out of character.
The situation at the time, for example, was something the assistant simply couldn’t understand. Why would he jump through so many hoops for that one woman?
“Is everything done? I have been gathering information lately, and it seems that Ms. Nancy is actually thinking about stepping back into the finance industry. The Leonard family, who she collaborated with previously, had fallen. It is likely that she will need someone who is even more powerful to rise back up to the top.”
“Yeah, that’s why I drank so much tonight,” muttered the man before he smiled once more.
He had rarely been that happy. Although he grinned often and sounded cheery when he spoke to others, he rarely smiled genuinely.
The assistant stopped talking and started packing up to get ready and leave.
“By the way, is there any interesting place nearby? Make the necessary arrangements. I will take Nancy and some friends out tomorrow to hang out together.”
“Understood.”
The assistant turned around and took one look at Solomon before making a mental note of the matter.
He works so hard and so carefully to court this woman. If only he is as hardworking at his job…
The next morning soon rolled by and Solomon got the booking number for a country club. What no one expected was that when Solomon called Sasha to invite her out, she rejected him.
“Sorry, Solomon. Today is… Something came up, and I can’t hang out anymore.”
Sasha had a tough time rejecting Solomon’s invitation at the time. If her action wouldn’t get the blanket off of her naked body, Sasha would’ve truly wanted to kick the man beside her off of the bed.
Je*k!
Hearing that response instantly got Solomon disappointed. He asked, “Can’t you postpone that? It is rare that my friends gathered over today. Andy Rind, in particular, is usually busy because he plays a major role in Wall Street.”
Sasha said nothing. She hesitated.
Before she got to say anything, a huge palm slipped to her side and caressed her before pulling her into a hug. Sasha’s entire body instantly trembled, and she was affected so much that even her voice seemed off. “N-no,” replied Sasha, “Let’s meet up some other time…”
“Meet up? Where? And with who? It’s so early in the morning. Are you heading out to flirt with that guy again? Did I not satisfy you last night?”
The sexy and deep voice of a man came from the other side of the line, and that got Solomon to clench his fist.
He hadn’t had the chance to get to the bottom of the issue before Sasha hung up. Hence, Solomon gripped his phone as he stared at the scrumptious breakfast in front of him. He smashed the phone onto the floor at the very next second and got it to break in two.
“What’s wrong?” asked the assistant, who hurried over after hearing the noise.
Solomon, however, never answered.
He stared ahead, and his gaze was murderous and wild, like a tsunami.
Sebastian Hayes!
