Chapter 175
Sasha shook her head, her gaze flickering slightly.
To be honest, the words Jameson said to her today still had an impact on her.
She didn’t quite know how to articulate it. ‘It’s no wonder he was the first man I fell for. His every action
still has the power to affect my emotions, she thought.
“Andie, I’m not feeling great. Maybe we should…”
Andic quickly understood. “We’ve seen enough of the store already. How about we find a place to rest?
I can call my sister and say you’re not feeling well, and cancel the gathering tonight?”
“No.” Sasha immediately responded. “Let’s just leave and rest for a bit. There’s no need to cancel the
evening plans.”
She didn’t want to disrupt Andie’s schedule.
Andie waved her hand dismissively, insisting that cancelling was no big deal and Sasha’s health was
more important.
“I’m really fine. It’s just that I’m feeling a bit upset. I just need some time to process it.”
Andic looked at her seriously. “Are you sure you’re okay?”
Sasha nodded sullenly. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“You can’t be unwell. Otherwise, your brother would be upset too.” Andie suddenly remarked.
Sasha looked at Andie in surprise, sensing that there was more to her words.
After bidding farewell to the store manager, they left the boutique and headed towards the dining area
downstairs.
Unable to contain her curiosity, Sasha asked. “About the other day, when my brother said he’d take you
home… nothing happened between you two, right?”
Andie blushed. “Haven’t you already asked that?”
“I just wanted to make sure 1 didn’t miss anything,” Sasha said with a teasing smile, bumping Andie’s
shoulder playfully. “Tell me?”
“There’s not much to it, really. He just drove me to the office, that’s all.”
“You mean he just dropped you off at the office?” Sasha asked incredulously, wondering

if her brother was really that straightforward.
She had clearly seen him having a great time teasing Andie that day.
Andie, however, refused to divulge more, insisting that he had only taken her to the office and that
there was no further interaction between them.
“You’re lying,” Sasha said to Andie.
Although Sasha knew she was lying, she couldn’t pinpoint the exact deceit, and eventually had to let it
go with a sense of regret.

She casually brought up another topic. “I was actually hoping you’d become my sister- in-law. Honestly,
Andie, my brother is a good catch. Why don’t you consider it?”
Andie couldn’t even meet Sasha’s eyes. Hearing Sasha’s suggestion, she just mumbled a few words
noncommittally, clearly avoiding the topic.
It was obvious that something was wrong.
Sasha was about to ask more when she suddenly noticed a group of people hastily leaving ahead of
them. Jameson was being supported by Henry, and his complexion didn’t look good.
Andie was startled by the commotion, and when she recognized who it was, her expression turned
complex.
“That was Jameson just now, wasn’t it? What happened to him?”
Sasha scoffed coldly. “What else? His stomachache flared up. He brought it on himself by not eating. It
serves him right.”
Andie looked at Sasha in surprise. “Why are you so angry about his stomach pain?”
Sasha came back to her senses, not quite sure what was fueling her irritation. Perhaps it was because
she had previously taken such great care of him and managed to improve his stomach condition, only
for it to relapse. Was she frustrated that her efforts seemed wasted?
Sasha couldn’t quite pin down her feelings and chose to deflect. “I’m not angry.”
“But you look so flushed.”
“It’s just the heat.”
Sasha, trying to evade further probing from Andie, quickly changed the subject. “Shall we go get
something to/drink?”

Andie, seasoned in the ways of the business world, wasn’t easily fooled. She just quietly observed
Sasha with a faint smile on her face, making Sasha feel like she was under the watchful eye of a cu
nning fox.
