Chapter 299: Perspective

~ SASHA ~ 

Driving back towards the complex, Nick seemed to be going slower than when they'd been on their way out. His brows kept pinching in, as if he was arguing something with himself. Sasha didn't push. She was still struggling to read Nick, to figure out if or when he could be trusted. And the truth was, talking to him about this whole picture was very different to speaking about it with Nathan and the other board members.

How was she ever going to convince them to give her what she wanted?

There was no point angsting about it, she realized. Either they would listen and do as she asked, or they wouldn't. Wetting her pants about it wasn't going to change anything in the long run.

Sasha stared out the window, watching the grass and distant trees pass the Jeep. It was a beautiful place out here. Remote. Though the cleared land felt a little too perfect to be natural, it was still real.
