The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 419

Just after ordering our food, there was a man who spoke in an irritated tone.

"Sasha Weston, I thought you didn't like me. Why did you hurt her? And why did you text her, blaming her for snatching your man away and asking her to die?"

The man's tone was filled with contempt and hatred. When Sasha turned around and saw his face, she felt dumbfounded. Sasha thought she was really unlucky.

Irritated, Sasha said, "Shane Winslow, let me ask you a question. When was the text sent out?"

Without much thought, Shane answered, "At 4:00 pm. yesterday."

Sasha rolled her eyes at him after hearing that. Zane glanced at Sasha, and then he said, "Do you mind if I say something?"

Shane was surprised to see that Zane was intervening. Shane nodded and said, "Sure."

"About the time that you just mentioned… Sasha had just been transferred to the busiest department in our company," Zane said nonchalantly.

However, Shane thought Zane was trying to cover for Sasha. Shane snapped and asked, "Why? Does transferring to this department mean she can't use her phone?"

Then, as if he didn't notice the sarcasm in Shane's question, Zane replied, "That's right. To prevent the team members from being distracted from work by their phones, her current department confiscates all of their phones once they enter the office."

Shane frowned hard after hearing that.

Zane continued and said, "That means it's impossible for her to text you."

After hearing that, Shane looked at Jenny Garcia, the woman, and asked, "And how would you explain that?"

While avoiding his gaze, Jenny suggested, "Maybe somebody texted me with her phone?"

Sasha hadn't expected Jenny to still lie at this point. Raising her voice, Sasha said, "First of all, I don't have your phone number! Second of all, you're not a celebrity! None of my friends know you! Why would they text you for no reason?

"The both of you are saying weird things to me. People aware of the situation would just think you're a pair of lovebirds. Otherwise, to those who don't know, it would just seem like you two ganged up to mess with me!"

Suddenly, Jenny started to cry. Shane immediately embraced her and consoled her gently.

After Jenny calmed down, Shane glared at Sasha and said, "Even if it wasn't you, can't you be more gentle? Look, you scared her!"
