Shane seriously pondered on Sasha's question, and then he nodded. He said, "You're right."
"In that case, I'll give him a cut of it."
Although Sasha received a lot of money from her friends, she no longer cared about small sums like this ever since she earned her cut from the project. She kept only a small portion for herself and sent everything else to Zane.
Sasha remarked, "I told my friend group that I learned some valuable experiences from you, and I offered to teach them. They were all willing to pay for the classes. This is what they paid me."
Then, Sasha sent Zane a screenshot. She continued and wrote, "I only kept a small cut for myself. We agreed to have the class at the hotel tomorrow."
When Zane received the text, he quickly glanced at it and then handed his phone to the woman across from him. He asked, "What do you think she means by this?"
I took the phone and looked at the text. Then, I said, "Maybe she just thinks that if it weren't for your mentoring, she wouldn't be able to earn this money. Would that be why she sent money to you?"
Zane said, "If I accept this, I would have to go to her class tomorrow."
I chuckled and replied, "You're free tomorrow. Why don't you check it out?"
Upon hearing that, Zane didn't reject the idea, saying, "Sure."
Then, Zane texted Sasha. "Where's the location for tomorrow? I'll be there."
But Sasha hadn't expected such a surprise. She hurriedly sent the address to Zane, who replied, "I'll be there on time."
Sasha stared at her phone screen in disbelief. Then, she spun around to look at Shane, who had no idea what exchanges Sasha had with Zane. When he sensed Sasha's gaze, he felt confused.
"What?"
In a daze, Sasha mumbled, "Zane's coming tomorrow."
