The Unveiled Rose

Madeline waited a few minutes before sneaking out of the restaurant. She then hurriedly ran to the game department where Sasha was. "Sasha!" she exclaimed.

Sasha immediately ran over when she heard the voice. "How did it go?"

Madeline said with ill intent, "I did everything you arranged!"

Sasha wore a mischievous smile. "Then let's go watch the fun."

Although Zane had been kind to her and had pointed out many work-related issues for Douglas, he was only helping because of Annalise.

In reality, she vaguely felt that Zane didn't quite like her.

No! To be more accurate, it seemed like Zane thought of her as an unwanted company, someone who disturbed his and Annalise's private space.

But she and Annalise were good friends! It was natural for them to spend time together.

Zane shouldn't have an issue with it!

Sasha grabbed Madeline's hand and urged, "Hurry!"

Madeline was full of excitement. "Let's go!"

I was just about to return to my couch and continue working when Zane grasped my hand. "Anna."

"Mm?" I looked at him.

Zane motioned for me to sit on his couch. "I've noticed this, but it seems like you really attract women."

I asked with a smile, "Do you even know what you're saying?"

"Any woman who likes me..." Zane cupped my face with both hands. "As long as they've been in contact with you, they'll end up falling for you instead."

I draped my arm over his neck. "Isn't it just Sasha? Are there others?"

Zane's deep voice grew more magnetic, carrying a hint of seduction. "I knew it... You're amazing."

His lips pressed down, and I closed my eyes.

Zane pried open my lips, unabashedly conquering me.

I gripped Zane's shirt tightly.

Suddenly, Zane froze and quickly pulled away.

I looked confusedly at him.

Zane's expression darkened as he said, "Too spicy."

"Should I go downstairs and get you a drink?" I asked.

I tried to hold back a laugh upon seeing his flushed face.

Zane said, "There's a vending machine downstairs."

"Okay."

I was about to leave when I noticed Zane following me. His face was full of grievance.

I couldn't help but smile.

Zane saw the two people hiding in the corner and immediately understood what was happening.

He concealed the emotions in his eyes and pretended like nothing had happened. Then, he calmly

"We did it!" After Zane entered the elevator, Sasha emerged and happily high-fived Madeline.

Madeline couldn't hide her pride either. "Yay!"

Sasha lifted her chin, looking like a

me will be erased!" Content Belongs

Madeline quickly asked, "You know Mr. Huxham?"

She thought Sasha was just an ordinary employee like her. They could only watch Zane from afar in the company. Sasha didn't hesitate for a second. "I used to pursue him."

Madeline was even more incredulous. "You're not lying to me, are you?" "Of course not." Sasha was always bold and straightforward.

Madeline was taken aback. "I heard that employees who used to confess to him either got demoted or fired. How are you still working here? Could it be that Mr. Huxham secretly likes you?"
