Sasha tried to stop him, but before she could say anything, a man descended the stairs just a few meters
away from them. “Ian? Why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be in school by now?” the man asked
as he fussed with his beautifully pressed black suit. Hidden under his blazer was a dark-colored,
handmade dress shirt, and a pair of long pants covered his slender legs. The sunlight shining in from
behind him illuminated his perfectly chiseled features, and it made Sasha clench her fists instinctively.
“Daddy, what do you think of the deal I mentioned?” Ian asked. “Your deal?” Sebastian said, a little
confused. He stopped to look at his son with a mildly amused expression. “
What deal?” “I’ll go to school if you let her work at your company!” Ian declared solemnly while pointing
at Sasha. Sebastian froze for a moment before turning around to glance at Sasha. She could almost see

son’s mouth. Sasha waved her hands immediately in fear. “Hey, don’t look at me like that! He told me
that he’ll only go to school if you let me work in your company. I don’t know what’s going on too!” She
shrugged to show her innocence, and the clouds on Sebastian’s face seemed to clear a little. “Ian, why
are you trying to get her into Daddy’s company? Daddy doesn’t run a hospital, you know,” Sebastian
asked. “
She can take care of you there!” Ian said, crossing his arms in front of his chest. The two adults’ eyes
widened when he said that, and Sebastian was furious. “Stop messing around. I don’t need anyone to
take care of me! Now be a good boy and go to school, Ian!” “No! I won’t listen to you unless you listen to
me!” Ian shouted, yanking his bag off his back and throwing it onto the ground before stomping off with
swollen eyes. Both adults watched as he left, absolutely dumbfounded. Oh boy! After a few seconds,
Sasha glared at Sebastian and stomped her feet. “What the hell are you doing? None of this would have
happened if you agree to his conditions! You can just give me a position in your company, and you don’t
even need to pay me. Is that alright?” Sebastian was a little taken aback by her sudden outburst, and he
pondered over it for a few seconds in silence
. Why is it my fault now? It’s all your fault for rejecting my offer in the first place! It took ages for Sasha to
convince Ian to pick up his bag again and get ready for school. Sebastian stood outside Ian’s room with
a grim expression, but he remained silent, much to Sasha’s relief. “Shall I send Mr. Ian to school now,
Ms. Wand and Mr. Hayes?” “Yeah, go ahead.” Sasha waved her hand as a plan formed in her
head. What if I just ignored his request and ran off on my own? He won’t know about it. However, Ian

Daddy’s office just by hacking into the cameras!” Sasha resisted the urge to scream. Her plan had been
rendered useless by this revelation. Ten minutes later, Sasha sighed and headed towards the uniquely
numbered Maybach with her bag slung around her shoulder.
She had never ridden in that Maybach, not now, not five years ago. She had told herself to stay away
from it at all costs, but Ian had given her no choice. She could feel her muscles tensing up the moment
she saw the man sitting inside, and her breaths quickened as beads of cold sweat began to form on her
palms. Why am I like this? “Hey! Why are you just standing there? Hurry up and get on!” Sebastian
yelled, visibly annoyed. He glanced at his watch impatiently to signal to her just how precious his time
was. Sasha pulled open the door and slipped into the car quickly to distract herself from her thoughts.
Much to her delight, the soft covers of the seats and the pleasant interior of the car calmed her nerves
considerably. Taking in deep breaths of the sweet aroma in the air, she sat up stiffly and pretended to
look at the scenery outside. Looks like I haven’t gotten over him yet…
