Chapter 204
Zane barely acknowledged Sasha’s gratitude with a nonchalant hum. He then added, “But I’m still working on winning Anna over. Keep it cool when you’re around her. Don’t expose me.”
Sasha immediately understood. “I get it. You don’t want me telling Anna you have feelings for her, or she’ll distance herself, making it harder for you to pursue her, right?”
Zane gave her an approving look and nodded. “Exactly.”
After saying that, he scrutinized Sasha for a moment before hesitantly asking, “Can I ask you something?”
“Me?” Sasha pointed at herself in disbelief.
Zane replied seriously, “Yes.”
Sasha leaned against the wall with a smug smile. “Go ahead.”
Zane didn’t beat around the bush. “Do you know how to pursue someone?”
She had pursued him before, so she must have some experience. Zane decided to humbly learn from her.
At once, Sasha’s smile faded, and the way she looked at Zane shifted. “Are you messing with me right now?”
Zane didn’t understand what she meant. “Why would you say that?”
Sasha wanted to snap at him. However, she didn’t want anyone to overhear, so she lowered her voice as she said, “I’ve only ever pursued you. And I failed! Now you want to learn from me? Isn’t that just rubbing salt in my wound?” She glared at him.
Realizing her point, Zane fell silent for a long moment before asking, “But you must have a lot of admirers, right?”
Sasha responded sarcastically, “Oh, plenty.”
When she noticed Zane’s look of genuine curiosity, she continued before he could ask, “If any of the guys who pursued me were actually nice, do you think I’d still be single?”
Zane thought about it for a second and couldn’t argue with her logic.
While he mulled it over, Eric walked toward them.
Zane calmly introduced, “This is Sasha Weston, the new intern in Game Department.”
Sasha greeted Eric with a smile. “Nice to meet you.”
Zane turned back to Sasha. “This is my secretary, Eric Fowler. He’s incredibly capable. If you ever run into trouble while starting your company, you can ask him for

advice, as long as he’s not too busy.”
Smiling, Eric replied to Sasha, “Nice to meet you, Ms. Weston. As Mr. Huxham said, I’m pretty good at
solving problems. If it’s so tough
that even I can’t crack it, there’s probably no one in the city who can.”
Sasha raised an eyebrow. “You’re that capable?”
Eric smiled confidently. “Of course!”
Sasha then asked casually, “So, why don’t you start your own company? Why work for Zane?”
Unbothered, Eric responded with a shrug, “Maybe because my salary here is higher than the profits of most companies?”
Sasha turned to Zane, eyes wide. “Seriously?”
Zane didn’t deny it. “At Huxham Corporation, you earn what you’re worth.”
Sasha’s mouth dropped open in surprise.
“Ms. Weston, follow me.” Eric led the way.
Sasha followed closely behind, glancing at Eric and then at Zane.
Originally, she had planned to start her own gaming company and pursue her passion. But after hearing about the perks at Huxham Corporation, she began to reconsider. Maybe she could stay and work at Huxham Corporation and work for Zane.
Eric first helped Sasha with her onboarding, then took her to Game Department to get a feel for the environment. After that, he showed her to her desk.
He casually mentioned, “Our internship salary is 8,000 dollars a month, and it increases after conversion to a full-time position.”
