The Unveiled Rose

Zane said calmly, "This is a fundamental skill in business. If you don't think ahead, you might end up being hurt and not even know how it happened." Sasha could feel that Zane was trying to teach her something. She asked, "Why are you telling me this?"

Zane didn't answer and only coldly withdrew his gaze.

Sasha keenly sensed his disdain and became even more puzzled. Had she done something wrong?

"You're planning to start a gaming company, aren't you?" I gently reminded her. "Zane is teaching you what to do when you have your own company."

Sasha flashed a pleasing smile. "But running a company seems so troublesome. I only recently realized I prefer working for someone else!"

She wore an innocent look. "I can work here for the rest of my life, right?"

I couldn't make decisions for Zane since I was also an employee under him. I looked at Zane. "What do you think?"

Zane explained calmly, "Her father's company will definitely be left to her in the future. If she doesn't take the opportunity to learn while her parents are still capable, she'll be in a tough spot when she's forced to take over with no experience as her father gets older." "I know you want to make things easier for her, which is fine," he continued, "But you should still think about her future."

What Zane said made sense, and I didn't argue. I simply took Sasha's hand. "What do you think?"

Sasha sighed helplessly. "I'll just start learning slowly. My parents have provided me with such a good life. I'd feel awful about that if I made them live a hard life with me when they get old."

Zane spoke slowly, "Actually, there's another option."

Sasha immediately perked up. "Oh?"

"Before your dad retires, persuade him to sell the company to me." Zane's tone was very calm.

Sasha was very tempted. "That's a good idea! If he sells the company to you, I can still work in your company!"

Zane didn't expect her to be swayed so easily. "Then try to persuade your dad."

Sasha hesitated. "Forget it. My dad would kill me."

Douglas built the company himself, and he took it very seriously.

Sasha continued, feeling wronged, "I'll just make more effort while I'm young."

She stood up, said goodbye to us, and gloomily left the office.

As soon as she left, Zane walked over to me. "Do you think what I said earlier was too harsh?"

I shook my head, looking up at him. "No, not really. She has to face these things eventually. You just told her in advance so she could be mentally prepared. It's not like you were trying to put her down." The most important thing was that Zane was intentionally teaching Sasha.

Zane would probably think it was a waste of time to even give anyone else a single piece of advice.

I saw everything he did, so I could appreciate his good intentions.

Zane sat down and casually pulled me into his arms. "I was worried you wouldn't understand me just now."

I found a comfortable position and leaned against him. "Don't worry. I can accept it as long as it's for our good."

Zane gazed at me quietly as I looked into his eyes.

For some reason, there was a bit of tension in the air. My heartbeat unconsciously quickened.

Zane slowly brushed his lips against mine. I closed my eyes, enjoying the kiss.

As we were both immersed in the kiss, the office door was suddenly pushed open.
