Chapter 411
Sasha’s co-workers told her of the bonus entitlement after the project ended. It could sustain a regular person to live comfortably for several lifetimes. Sasha smiled and asked, “Am I entitled to the bonus too?”
Zane looked at her weirdly and said, “You’re part of the team. Of course, you are.”
Suddenly, Sasha didn’t feel tired anymore. She asked, “If I get the money, shouldn’t that mean I can spend all of it?”
Zane gazed at her sympathetically. If Sasha could receive the bonus, she would probably not have the time to spend the money.
Curious, I asked, “If the benefits are so great, I’d think any ambitious individual will try to get a spot in this department… Why aren’t people willing to join this team?” Zane said calmly, “Because this project is not guaranteed to make a profit. Most people think receiving a salary is good enough, and they don’t want to take risks.”
Sasha also couldn’t understand their reasoning. She asked, “Even if the project didn’t profit as much as expected, won’t they still have a salary?”
Zane replied nonchalantly, “Maybe they all think that if they worked so hard, yet the project failed to profit as expected, it would be a waste of their efforts.”
Ever since Sasha heard of the large bonus, she had fallen in love with the project. She asked, “Why can’t they hope for the project to be successful and hope to earn a large profit from it?”
As he was aware of everyone’s concerns, Zane explained, “Maybe it’s because such games don’t exist in the market yet. There’s too much risk.”
“I see. But I like risks,” Sasha said, finally understanding the situation better.
Then, Sasha sat next to me. She clung to my arm and leaned on my shoulder. I could tell that something was on her mind.
I chuckled and asked, “Is there something you want to say?”
“Yes! Do you remember the guy who tried to pursue me and then sought a stand-in lover after I rejected him? Shane Winslow?” Sasha asked grumpily. Surprised, I said, “Yes. What’s up?”
I was curious to know what that person had done again.
When Shane was mentioned, Sasha felt baffled. She said, “He’s been telling my dad many things. He said something was wrong with my dad’s company. He also said that if my dad allows him to marry me, he will reluctantly agree to help my dad resolve that crisis.
“What a joke. He’s just a good-for-nothing rich kid! How can he help my dad out?”
As Sasha said that, she rolled her eyes. Meanwhile, Zane looked at me.
Upon noticing the contempt in Sasha’s tone, I couldn’t control my urge to laugh. I asked, “And what happened?”
Sasha took a deep breath and said, “You have no idea how weird he is! On one hand, he was trying to convince my dad for my hand in marriage. But on the other hand, he was entangled with that stand-in lover of his. I really respect them.”
Confused, I asked, “Is he still in contact with that girlfriend?”
Sasha didn’t hide her disgust as she said, “Yeah. I don’t know what nonsense they’re up to… But I heard that he broke up with his girlfriend When she heard that he didn’t want her anymore, she lost her will to live and decided to take her own life.
“I heard from my friend that it was a touching moment. The two
embraced each other and expressed their true thoughts, crying and all Everyone who watched them felt sad, too. But if it didn’t involve me, I would’ve agreed that it was a touching scene!”
When I heard that, I was in disbelief. I asked, “What does it have to do with you?”
“Exactly! I asked my friend who was at the scene. My friend said that Shane embraced his girlfriend, and he said this…
“Sasha Weston, if it weren’t for you, my girlfriend wouldn’t have tried to kill herself. Starting today, you’re going to pay for this.” Sasha thought she was going to go crazy because of this.
