Sasha was still speechless.
She stood there for a while before asking, “Where did you hear that from? Why didn’t I hear anything about it downstairs?”
“Huh?” The rest stuttered, “The… The Legal department called Mr. Scott this morning and we overheard.”
The Legal department?
Sasha’s heart skipped a beat.
She knew Solomon well.
His capabilities as a lawyer should not be underestimated. His logic, debate skills and strategies surpassed many lawyers in the country.
Hence, she had a bad feeling about this.
Feeling uneasy, Sasha entered the president’s office.
“Sasha, what’s wrong? Why do you have such a look on your face?”
Sebastian, who was working in the office, raised his head when he heard someone enter the office. Noticing that it was Sasha, he was stunned for a while before looking at her pale face.
Sasha hesitated to speak.
After a short while, she walked to his desk.
“Sebby, I heard them talking about the Sinch Enterprise’s case outside. They said that the other party is still unwilling to plead guilty and is planning to defend himself?”
She deliberately avoided mentioning Solomon’s name because she did not want to anger Sebastian.
He nodded. “Yes. What’s the problem?”
“Nothing… But do you know who he is? He used to be a lawyer, so I’m scared…” Sasha spoke hesitatingly, not daring to make it too obvious.
Sebastian put his pen down.
It was true that he disliked it when she mentioned Solomon’s name.
However, from how she was deliberately avoiding his name, he already knew that she did not mean anything else when she brought him up now.
“There’s nothing to worry about. The Hayes Corporation’s Legal department is quite formidable.”
“I see…”
Sasha heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that.
“Then, I’m going to cook now. What do you want to eat today, Sebby?” She flashed a smile at him. Within a second, her initial worry was replaced with joy. She was so dazzlingly beautiful that Sebastian fell into a momentary daze.
“Anything’s fine. I’ll eat whatever that you cook.”
His tone became suggestive when he said the last sentence. Without hiding his gaze, he checked out Sasha’s curvaceous figure that was outlined by her office attire.
Sasha was speechless.
What’s wrong with him? What is he thinking about in broad daylight?
Blushing, she hurried out of the office and went to the penthouse suite to cook.
She would never expect that something major was happening in the Hayes residence that afternoon.
After Sebastian suggested it that night, Rufus was brought to the Hayes Residence the next morning.
“You’re here, Grandpa!”
“Grandpa!”
When the three kids saw their grandfather, they were delighted. They dashed out and surrounded Rufus.
When Rufus saw his lively and adorable grandchildren, he was naturally very happy too. However, when he entered, Frieda caught sight of him in the courtyard.
Suddenly, she stood there fixedly as if she were a statue
“Frieda?”
Sabrina was there with her. When she noticed Frieda’s unnatural reaction, she called out to her.
Frieda trembled.
“Argh!”
Suddenly, she stared at Rufus with wide eyes and shrieked out loud. It had been some time since she became agitated, but she was now clutching her head and running away.
“No! It’s not like that! It’s not like that!”
Within a few seconds, she ran upstairs while mumbling after her breath. As if she had seen something terrifying, she scurried into her room and hid there.
Sabrina was stunned.
For a few seconds, she stood there in shock as she watched the scene unfold.
Is that madwoman acting up again?
Rufus’ expression changed too.
Naturally, he recognized Frieda. The reason why she managed to save her life was all because of Frederick and him. One went to save her and her son, while the other went to inform Shin.
Furthermore, they were both there after Frieda and Shin got together.
What’s wrong with her now? Did seeing me remind her of those sad and terrifying events?
Rufus stood there and thought about it for a while before walking forward.
Sabrina asked, “What are you doing? She’s acting up now, so you must be careful not to get hurt.”
He smiled. “I won’t. I’ll go up and take a look.”
Then, he walked toward the direction which Frieda had fled toward earlier.
When he reached the room, he saw Frieda hugging her head and curling up into a ball. Hiding at the foot of the bed, she trembled uncontrollably and mumbled under her breath.
“Frieda?”
When Rufus saw that, he could not help but feel sad.
He had never expected such a beautiful woman like her to end up like this.
