Sage always had blackouts whenever she got drunk.She could not remember anything after her singing last night. Her throat hurt a little, and she did not remember much of the rest.However, all her clothes were off. She was worried. Did she just spend her first night with Jace in such a wasted situation?She regretted being greedy and drinking so much last night. Sage pursed her lips and sighed in frustration. Then, there was a movement behind her. Jace hugged Sage before waiting for her to turn around. He wrapped his arms around her waist and moved his head closer. Jace rubbed his head against the side of her waist adorably. "Hm…"He hummed softly with a low and raspy voice. It sounded like he was trying to get her love and attention. Sage's heart softened at his actions. She put her hand on his head to ruffle his hair twice and tidied it for him. "Awake?" Jace finally opened his sleepy eyes slowly. His eyes were red. Clearly, he did not have a good sleep."Did you sleep
Jace fled immediately. Sage sighed softly and brushed her teeth in front of the mirror. She was irritated and wondered what had gone wrong.…The breakfast was very generous and full of variety. Sage had a good breakfast and chatted with Florence. After that, she left The Humble Cottage with Jace. Jace had not slept well last night and was a little tired. After dropping Sage off at Norah Group, he went back to Skye Hotel.He walked into his room and yawned sleepily. As he entered the room, he happened to see Yoel, who came out of the bedroom naked and yawning."You're back?" Yoel scratched his messy hair and went to the bathroom. When he was about to go in, he came out again in confusion. "No, wait. Why are you back at this hour? Didn't you go on a date with Sage last night?""Yeah." Jace went to the bar and poured himself a glass of water. He was so sleepy that his eyelids felt heavy."You look so sleepy. It looks like you had a rough night yesterday." Yoel gave Jace a meani
Shanie and Jenny laughed nonstop. Sage was already annoyed from yesterday. She became more depressed when they two laughed."Stop laughing." Sage glared at them. "Do you have any compassion?""Oh, dear. How can this be so hilarious?" Shanie wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "It's my first time seeing someone date like this. Both of you are more innocent than college students." Jenny stopped laughing and said, "What's wrong with being innocent? Youngsters nowadays are too easily influenced by the world and money. Even sincere feelings are rare nowadays.""Let's get to the point. You drank too much and got drunk yesterday. If Jace really had sex with you while you were unconscious, that would be a mistake."Shanie agreed, "That's right. He's a rare species in the world today. It's really rare to find someone like him."Shanie reassured Sage with a smile, "Don't worry. There's no rush anyway. Sometimes, intimacy time between the couple would come at the right time.
Jace pushed Yoel out of the bathroom.Yoel gave a middle finger to the bathroom door and muttered as he returned to his room, "You watched it so quickly. Is it bad? That can't be. My collections are perfect…"Yoel opened the laptop and looked for his folder, but he could not find it. What was going on? Puzzled, Yoel rushed to knock at the bathroom door with his laptop in his hand. "Where's my treasure? Where did you put it?"Jace walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hair after a shower. He said expressionless, "I deleted it.""You deleted it?!"Yoel got all worked up. "Why did you delete my collections? Are you crazy?!"He hurriedly restored the deleted files from the recycle bin.Jace urged, "Don't watch so much. You might hurt yourself.""Why do you care!" Yoel was furious. He roared, "You'll end up staying single forever!"Yoel then went into his room in a huff. He was very sad and aggrieved. Jace did not understand a lonely man's sadness at all. If he had a
Salem City's Annual Rose Festival was here again. It was another busy season for Sage. Finn had a bad cold that led to pneumonia. As a result, he got hospitalized at the busiest time of the year. He was still sick and not getting any better, so he had to take a long leave of absence.Sage had to take over all the work and was very busy. Fortunately, she did not have to worry about Yuriel Group because Jace was around to take care of the work there.Jace went back to Nadeem City to take care of some important business. The couple separated for a while to live in two cities.Both of them were very busy during the day. They went about their business and occasionally replied to each other's messages. They were just like any other couple in love. Sage always forgot to eat whenever she got busy. Her assistant, Sasha, sighed every time she saw a cold and untouched meal. She would secretly complain to Jace and tell him Sage was skipping meals again. As a result, Jace would call Sage and
Finn's face was red from coughing. He still looked surprised when Sage walked in."Sage, what are you doing here?!""I came to visit you." Sage came to visit Finn with a fruit basket and bouquet.After Sage placed the basket on the table, the girl beside Finn reached out to take the flowers. "Give me the flowers."The girl looked beautiful and gentle, but her eyes looked empty and cold. Sage observed her impassively and handed her the bouquet."Thanks." The girl took the flowers and placed them on the side table. Then, she looked at Sage and said nicely, "You must be Miss Sage, right? I've heard a lot about you from Finn. I'm Finn's girlfriend, Sheila Stone." Sage guessed who she was and was not surprised to hear that. "Hello, I'm Sage."She shook Sheila's hand. When she wanted to withdraw her hand, Sheila held it. Sage looked up slightly to meet Sheila's sharp and cold eyes. Sheila's grip on Sage's hand gradually tightened. Sage did not move and felt Sheila's strong grip.
Sasha followed behind Sage as they left the ward. She said unhappily, "When did Mister Janssen get a girlfriend? I had never heard him talk about her. She is a bit weird, but she is quite pretty though. The way she speaks is just too weird. So baffling.""Yes, I have the same feeling," Sage said. Although it was quite uncomfortable, she did care about it too much. Maybe the girl thought Sage was her love enemy, and that was why she was so hostile.Sage felt sleepy and yawned. "Finn finally got himself a girlfriend. Just let them be."After she got in the car, her eyes felt heavy. She sat down and immediately fell asleep. She had no idea that the car had stopped and someone had placed a thin blanket on her.When the car stopped, she was carried away while being wrapped in a blanket. That shocked her and woke her up. "Who…"The first thing she saw was Jace's deep and dark eyes. She was stunned and trailed off. She wondered if she was dreaming.Jace crackled uncontrollably when he s
When Jace and Sage were in the room, Jace finally put Sage down and switched on the light. The room looked plain, like all the other suites. The room was filled with the ambiance of a bachelor.Just as she was about to comment on a thing or two, she saw Jace's lustful look when she turned around. She swallowed all the words she had back into her stomach.There was no need for words between them. Both of them took a step forward together and kissed each other. She heard people talk about long-distance relationships or living in two different cities. It was until now she experienced exactly how it felt like having a long-distance relationship and how short partings made the reunion even sweeter.Both of them put effort into kissing and their breath interchangeably between each other. Maybe they were so affectionate that she accidentally knocked her teeth on his lips and tasted some blood.Finally, when they were apart, Sage pursed her lips, and her cheeks were blushing in rosy red.
