Chapter 609
Shane and Sasha were strictly business partners. Buying an office space together and putting both their names on the deed would make things messy if they ever had a falling out.
They agreed to split everything upfront to avoid potential problems, just like they were doing now. They consulted the agent to verify whether this plan was possible, and the agent assured them it was.
Once they decided which half each of them would own, the agent guided them through the paperwork for the transfer.
Holding the fresh property deed in his hands, Shane stared at it in disbelief. “I actually own a place now.” “Exactly!” Sasha was equally thrilled but kept her excitement more contained. “Let’s go meet Annalise.” “Why do we need her?” Shane asked.
“She’s amazing!” Sasha answered, her voice laced with admiration as she instinctively straightened. “She might not own a company, but her perspective on running one is unique. If we talk to her, we’re bound to gain some fresh insights. Plus, I really want to share this good news with her.”
A thought struck her, and she added, “Of course, we could also ask Zane for advice on growing the company. If you don’t feel like going, I can handle it on my own.”
She had no intention of pressuring Shane.
Still, he was fully aware of how valuable it was for a young entrepreneur like him to meet someone as successful as Zane, and he wasn’t about to pass up the opportunity.
“Alright,” Shane said. “I’ll join you.”
Meanwhile, Jessica took a while to compose herself. Once she finally felt more steady, she grabbed her phone and dialed Casper’s number.
Casper was at the office. Although Zane had told him to take some time off, he couldn’t relax as long as his project was unfinished. The nagging thought that something might go wrong kept him restless.

“Hello?” Casper answered, sounding casual.
Jessica’s voice trembled with emotion. “Do you have a moment to talk?”
She was bearing Casper’s child but had been hurt by Steven. Naturally, she Couldn’t leave Casper in the dark He needed to know everything she had done for him.
Casper felt his heart melt when he heard her voice. “What’s going on?”
“Steven thinks the baby I’m carrying is his,” Jessica said in a barely audible whisper. “He wants me to get rid of it.”
While Casper cared deeply about ensuring the safe birth of his child, he wasn’t sure where she stood on the matter.
“How do you feel about it?” he asked.
Jessica’s voice cracked as if she were on the verge of tears. “I want to have this baby, no matter what.”
Casper went quiet for a moment
before responding, “If you’re willing to face a tougher life with me, just tell Steven the truth. Then come live with me. I’ll do whatever it takes to support you and the baby.
Jessica hadn’t anticipated such an answer. “But you know I’ve always been used to living a comfortable life.”
Casper’s tone turned unusually serious. “Jessica, if I can make this project a success, I’ll earn a lot of money afterward.”
Jessica bit her lip. “I’ll stay with Steven for now. Once your project comes through, I’ll come straight to you.”
It felt like someone had drenched Casper with cold water. He froze in place.
“You can’t come to me now?” he asked.
