The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 533

Before Sasha spoke, she checked if there were any familiar people around, too. Then, she whispered, "I suspect there is a spy in our company."

"A spy?" Eric asked, repeating after Sasha.

He asked warily, "Why do you say that?"

Sasha said, "I never told anyone which project group I'm in, right?"

Eric nodded and answered, "You've been very low profile, indeed."

Frowning hard, Sasha said, "But Shane knows that I'm earning a lot of money. He's been disturbing me every day.

"I've been trying to avoid him, but somehow, he's been able to find me. He would act pitiful and say that he's starving, asking me to give him money for food."

At that thought, Sasha got even more displeased. She continued, "I'm soft-hearted, so I won't bear to watch somebody starve to death, would I?"

Eric said in agreement, "You're right."

As Sasha spoke, she became increasingly angrier.

She said, "I gave him ten bucks, and I told him to get some food. But he refused, saying that I didn't give him enough money to eat. So, I asked how much he wanted, and he asked for 20 thousand dollars!"

Baffled, Sasha exclaimed, "Oh, please… His father kicked him out of the house. He's just a beggar now! How dare he ask for so much?"

Immediately after Sasha finished, she paused. In the past, before Sasha began to work, she used to spend a lot of money, too.

With her father providing for her financially, she would splurge on food and entertainment. Yet, her father never complained and continued to dote on her. Because of that, Sasha never knew the importance of money.

In case Eric could not hear her clearly, Sasha slowed down and said, "He said that my current project is very successful and is earning a lot of money."

When Eric heard that, he became solemn, too. "Indeed, the sales volume of your current project is doing very well. You've broken records. Everyone knows that the project is profiting a lot.

"Mr. Huxham is also known to be generous, so he must give you a lot of bonus. If Shane was keeping a close eye on the project, he would know that you earned a lot from it," Eric said, gazing at Sasha.

Sasha didn't refute. Instead, she asked, "But how did he know that I was in charge of that project?"

Frowning hard, Eric said, "Now that you mention that, I suddenly remembered—I think I saw him when I came back from a business meeting a few days ago."

Sasha drew closer to Eric and asked, "And?"

Eric said hesitantly, "I think he was talking to Yvonne. I was a little far, so I'm not too sure what they were talking about."
