Chapter 11

At the same time, Sasha listened to Heidi's rant with a resigned expression."Sasha, I swear, Mr. Gallagher is such a fucking idiot. I've never met a more love-struck boss in my life. I'm telling you. As long as that troublemaker Natalie is around, Mr. Gallagher will be bankrupt in two years."As Heidi vented, Sasha remained calm. "Enough complaining, Heidi. What happens with Aidan and Natalie is no longer my concern."I've recommended a few companies to you and already spoken with the marketing managers there. You can go directly for the interviews, and there's a high chance you'll get selected."Hearing Sasha's words, Heidi was instantly moved to tears."Sasha, can I come work with you instead? I don't want to work for anyone else. I just want to work with you. I'll take half the salary."Sasha paused, considering the offer.Since burying Ella, she had opened a high-end private restaurant in her hometown, specializing in business banquets.But business in that field relied he

Sasha's words left everyone frozen in place.Even Priscilla, who had been about to strike her, flinched in surprise.With a cold expression, Sasha pushed her aside."Call the police and get some reporters. I want every single person who vandalized my shop and broke my ten-million-dollar bracelet to be taken to the police station."Priscilla's pupils constricted at those words.But within two seconds, her anger flared, and she shouted, "Sasha, how could you possibly afford a ten-million-dollar bracelet? That bracelet must be fake! I'm suing you for fraud!"Sasha scoffed and calmly pulled out a receipt from her bag."Mrs. Slater, here's the receipt from the exclusive store I bought it from yesterday. You can check it if you don't believe me."And by the way, my restaurant is equipped with surveillance cameras. We have clear footage of everything that happened, including you pulling my arm and smashing the bracelet."Priscilla's face went pale as she quickly realized the trap. "Y

The man's name was Daniel Marsh. He was Sasha's former boss at the upscale nightclub she once worked at.Back when she was new to the industry, she had no idea what caught his attention. But for some reason, he personally took her under his wing for a while.It was thanks to his guidance that she quickly rose through the ranks at the club.And it was also because of the skills he taught her that she was able to navigate Aidan's company without obstacles.Even when she was nearly assaulted by the diseased heir and Aidan broke his hand, she wouldn't have escaped unscathed if Daniel hadn't stepped in.At that thought, Sasha suppressed the unease in her chest and stepped forward respectfully. "It's been a while, Mr. Marsh. I hope you've been well."Daniel remained as cold and unreadable as ever.Even from 30 feet away, Sasha could still feel the oppressive air around him.He gave her a sidelong glance and said flatly, "Your tactics are getting sloppy, Sasha. Is this really what I t

Sasha had already prepared herself to shut down the restaurant. She didn't even have the money to restore it.But when she arrived the next day and saw the dining hall completely restored to its original state, she pinched herself.The floor manager leaned in and whispered something in her ear, which caused her grip to tighten around her handbag.She rushed to her office anxiously.The moment she pushed open the door, she saw Daniel sitting at her desk. Her chest tightened instinctively.Daniel lifted his gaze at her entrance. "I looked over the renovations and your accounting. Not bad. Seems I didn't waste my time teaching you."Then he picked up his coat and stood. "Prepare the contract. I'm investing ten million dollars for a 30% stake."With that, he strode out, leaving behind a chilling air.Sasha stood rooted to the spot, unable to react.30 seconds after Daniel left, the overwhelming joy of getting back what was lost became too much to bear.She broke down, sobbing unc

Meanwhile, Aidan was not doing well.Ever since Heidi and her team had resigned, he had been buried in a mountain of tasks. Everything from employee salaries to company decisions required his personal involvement.Ever since Natalie ran out crying that day, he hadn't tried to console her like he used to. In fact, he had even started rejecting her calls.But what he didn't expect was for Natalie's mother, Joanna Wade, to show up.As soon as she walked into the office, she slapped Aidan in front of the entire staff before he had a chance to greet her."Aidan, do you even know what's been happening? Natalie's been crying at home every day because of you! Is this how you take care of my daughter?"I'm telling you. Even if you're rich now and managed to win her over, it's only because your ancestors are smiling down on you. You're just an orphan, after all."I never approved of you and Natalie being together. It was Natalie who insisted, and I was forced to agree. But now you've made

Daniel watched Sasha, who was nervously reporting the operational data of her private restaurant, with a cigarette between his fingers. He felt a mix of frustration.Back when they were at the club, she was terrified of him. The moment he got even a little too close, she'd act like a frightened rabbit, shaking in fear.Though she wasn't afraid now, she was treating him like an elder she respected.But Sasha never considered that if it weren't for his interest in her, he wouldn't bother coming to this small restaurant to hear her report on new hires and daily revenue.As his frustration built up, Sasha finished presenting the month's business report and closed her laptop.She looked at him with a pleading smile, and that smile struck Daniel like a thunderclap, making his heart race.He wondered what she had gone through these years. How had she managed to make her smile more seductive than ever, so much so that he had to sit with his legs crossed now?Sasha, having worked hard fo

Sasha flinched instinctively. But after a moment, she composed herself.Aidan had long become a figure of the past to her. His presence no longer mattered, whether he showed up or not.Once she had accepted that, Sasha adjusted her brown fur coat and walked out of the office.In stark contrast to Sasha's calm demeanor, Aidan stood nervously in the dining hall of the private restaurant, feeling like an 18-year-old boy again.He straightened his tie, then quickly checked his hair in the mirror under the orange-yellow lights.He frowned in frustration when he saw a yellow stain on his shirt.He shouldn't have rushed here. He should have gone to the hotel to change before coming.When his fingers brushed against the ring hidden in his suit pocket, the frustration only grew.But when he saw Sasha walking out of the elevator, his chest tightened painfully.It had only been a few months, but Sasha had grown even more beautiful. Her delicate features, framed by her long, curly hair, m

After speaking, Daniel, with suppressed anger, held onto Sasha and turned to leave.As Aidan watched the two of them so closely entwined, he felt jealousy rise, turning his face a deep red.He couldn't care less about Daniel's status. He hurriedly chased after Sasha. But just as he was about to follow, two men in black suits blocked his path."I advise you to think carefully, Mr. Gallagher. If you go after her now, you won't be able to handle the consequences."Aidan froze in place, his fingers digging into the ring Lisa had left him. The veins in his hands bulged as he clenched it so tightly.Meanwhile, Sasha wasn't faring any better.Her body was forcefully pressed against Daniel's chest. The warmth of his body seeped through the thick fur coat, sending wave after wave of goosebumps across her skin.She glanced at Heidi, who was hiding in a corner. Her eyes pleaded for help, but Heidi only shook her head in fear.Realizing no one would come to her rescue, Sasha knew she had t

But Daniel wasn't just saying empty words. It was as if he truly believed that his proposal had been successful.Suddenly, Sasha's private restaurant was flooded with customers.Before she could even process what was happening, Heidi told her mysteriously, "You're done for, Sasha! Completely done for!"I just overheard something from a customer. Do you know what I heard? Mr. Marsh has publicly announced that he's preparing to get married to the woman he loves, and that woman is you!"Sasha's pupils shrank in shock.In her panic to stand up, she accidentally knocked over a glass on the table, shattering it into pieces.Heidi looked at her flustered expression and sighed helplessly. "Sasha, I know you're scared of Mr. Marsh, but you can't keep avoiding this. If you don't like him, you need to tell him clearly as soon as possible. He's not someone we can afford to offend."Sasha's gaze landed on the emerald ring sitting on her desk.Of course, she knew she couldn't afford to offen

Hearing the woman's furious outburst, Sasha just smirked mockingly."If your dad has that much power, then go ahead and have him shut down my restaurant tomorrow. But for now, you and your little group of trash can crawl out of here."The moment she finished speaking, the security guards arrived right on cue.Just then, Jenna, who was sitting at the head of the table, suddenly stood up with tears streaming down her face. Looking pitiful, she choked out, "Do you have to go this far, Sasha? Must you take everything from me?"First, your mom stole my dad, forcing my mom to spend her whole life in resentment. Now, I finally have someone I love, and you're stealing my boyfriend just like your mom stole my dad?"Please, I'm begging you. Stop going against me. I'll admit I was wrong. I'll even kneel if that's what it takes."With that, Jenna shoved her chair aside in agitation, knocking over the plates and cutlery on the table. She then walked over to Sasha and dropped to her knees.Sa
