There was anger, jealousy, pain, and annoyance, all mixed in a surging wave that could come crashing down.Sage felt a faint sense of unease.When Ian showed this kind of expression, it meant that his emotions were on the verge of exploding.Ian saw her trying to kiss Shane earlier at the clubhouse. Just now, Ian also saw Shane's message saying "Missing you". Which meant that right now, Ian was in a really bad mood.Sage calmly took a small step back and said, "Ian, you've had too much to drink. How about I ask Terry to send a driver to pick you up?"Ian remained silent, his expression stern. His thin lips pressed into a straight line, and his deep eyes seemed to be holding back something.Based on Sage's understanding of Ian's demeanor, Ian would definitely lash out at her if she were to say or do anything provocative toward him.When she considered their strength and speed, she could never match Ian.Sage moved back a little, preparing to persuade gently, "Ian—"Just as she
When he saw Sage's guarded expression, the emotions in Ian's eyes seemed to become as tumultuous as a stormy sea, constantly surging.He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately chose to hold back all the words he wished to say.With a wary expression on Sage's face, Ian emotionlessly handed her a document.Only when Sage took it did she realize that Ian wasn't empty-handed. He had been holding this document all along. She was so focused on looking at Shane's message while she was getting off the elevator that she didn't notice Ian at all, let alone what he was holding in his hand.Although Sage was curious about what the information Ian provided was about, she did not ask.At this moment, the atmosphere around Ian still seemed very tense, so Sage remained on high alert.Perhaps he had noticed what she was thinking, but Ian gave a faint, subtle smile. Without saying anything, he reached out to open the fire escape door and left.Sage stood there motionless, ga
Sage was somewhat convinced by Tiana's reasoning, but she still felt a bit worried and said, "If Shane goes against his family because of me and I'm still not sure if I want to be with him, I can't help but feel guilty.""Don't feel guilty. Even if Shane goes against his family, that's his choice. No one expects you to repay him for everything he's done."Tiana, sounding like a relationship expert, said, "Even though I personally support Shane, the final choice is still up to you.""If being with him makes you happy, then say yes. If you're hesitant, take more time to think. After all, love shouldn't be based on emotionally touching feelings or guilt."Sage nodded after hearing this. Then, she remembered to ask, "Have you and Calvin been having some issues lately? I haven't seen you making calls or video chatting in the past few days."Tiana replied, "We fought."Sage asked for the reason and found out that they had been arguing over what happened with Shane a few days ago.Calv
Tiana, having just been scolded by Sage, didn't have any angry feelings left. When she saw Calvin's affectionate expression, she felt even more warmth."Will you do it again next time?" Tiana purposefully asked sternly.Calvin obediently shook his head with a bit of nervousness and said, "I won't do it again."Tiana couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, I forgive you."Tiana's radiant smile was as beautiful as blooming flowers, and Calvin was momentarily stunned by its beauty.When she saw Calvin staring directly at her, Tiana suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable. "What are you looking at?" she asked.Calvin blurted out, "I find you attractive."Everyone enjoyed being told they were good-looking and coming from Calvin, it made it even more delightful. Tiana could feel her cheeks warming up."So, are you saying that you find me attractive and that's why you like me?" Tiana asked.Calvin nodded and then shook his head. "That's part of the reason, but it's not the whole story. I really
After some discussion, they decided to assign this task to Wilson's intern, Charlotte Todd, and asked her to inform Wilson about the news.Wilson was also on night duty tonight. He was in the office analyzing various medical records. Just as he was supposed to finish his shift and go home to rest, Charlotte walked in.Noticing the conflicted expression and hesitation on the other person's face, Wilson, who was holding a pen, asked, "Charlotte, do you need something?"Charlotte cleared her throat discreetly, determined not to let others down and to courageously complete the task.She opened a photo from the group chat and showed it to Wilson. Gathering her courage, she said, "Dr. Tate, I just heard from a nurse in the surgery department that their head nurse, Tiana, has just agreed to be someone's girlfriend."A loud snap sounded. It was unclear whether it was the shocking news or the sight of the photo that caused it, but the tip of the pen in Wilson's hand was unexpectedly broken
Tiana had never expected Wilson to ask such a question, especially since she had made everything clear to him last time."Stop saying such inappropriate things," Tiana said bluntly. "Wilson, we haven't had any relationship for a long time."You don't want to let go, not just because of the little bit of affection you mentioned, but more because you're already used to having me around. Starting over with someone else would mean having to adapt again, which would be a lot of trouble for you."Wilson instinctively wanted to argue, but he had indeed become accustomed to having Tiana around and didn't want someone else to take her place.Moreover, Tiana didn't give him a chance to speak. She continued, "Since the divorce, you've done quite a few inappropriate things that have caused me a lot of trouble. Please be mindful of the impact in the future, because I don't want Calvin to be unhappy."Upon hearing these words, Wilson's previously expressionless face shifted slightly.He knew t
In the end, Wilson promised, "I won't bother you anymore."When she saw the sadness and pain in Wilson's expression, Tiana couldn't help but feel a bit of bitterness in her heart. After living together and loving him for over two years, they ended up as strangers."Thank you, Dr. Tate."…The next day, Sage went to Maven Corporation. The follow-up procedures for the batch of custom incense ordered by Abby had been fully completed.Abby personally went to pick up the goods, paid the remaining balance in full, and wanted to invite Sage, Zachary, and the others for a meal to show her gratitude.Maven Corporation's business volume had increased significantly recently. Zachary was busy and couldn't get away, so Sage went to have a meal with Abby.During the meal, Abby apologized to Sage for what happened at the Suttons' party. She mentioned that all her staff were newly hired and that she didn't expect them to be so easily bribed.Although Sage already knew that the matter had nothi
Simon poured himself another cup of tea."Shane is the youngest child in the family. When my mother was still around, she doted on him especially, which led him to develop a carefree and unruly personality from a young age. He has never liked following rules."Simon said calmly, "In his eyes, as long as it's something he likes, he'll do it without caring about what others think."So, even though he knew Ms. Joyner hadn't gotten divorced at the time, he still carried on pursuing you, which led to issues in Ms. Joyner's marriage. This is our fault. We didn't discipline him properly."Although Simon was talking about Shane's faults, Sage could sense that Simon was also subtly hinting at her own improper behavior.While she was still married, she "had a child" with Shane, and not long after, she divorced Ian. To outsiders, this seemed like a very unethical situation."Fortunately, the news about you was suppressed in time, so not many people know the details. Otherwise, Ms. Joyner's
