"No."

Shaking off his hand, she replied coldly, "I'll finally have some free time to myself once you're gone."

In the past few weeks, Jace had been using every opportunity to pursue her to the point that her employees at work could tell that he was interested in her. Some of the employees at Rosa Garden even thought that he was her boyfriend. Sage had been trying hard to keep her frustration and rage in check.

She did not realize that Jace could be this clingy. Could it be that he was this clingy with Sienna too and this was actually his true colors?

Sage who had always thought that he knew Jace well suddenly did not think so anymore.

At least in the past few weeks, he had completely disproved every single thing that she knew about him.

Even though he knew that Sage might not miss him, hearing her say it out loud this bluntly broke his heart. He tightened his grip around her hand and furrowed his brows.

"I'll miss you." Jace smiled. Wanting to kiss Sage, he leaned into her.

    Sage was using an ice pack on Leah's swollen cheek. Her face was darkened.Leah and Zane were in a heated argument just two hours ago. Zane gave a tight slap on Leah's cheek. It was so loud that the entire design department heard it.Ada, the design director of Norah Jewelry rushed to Sage for two reasons, one to bring her the design drafts and the other to report what happened between Leah and Zane.Hunter brought the ice and looked at Leah's bruised face. He felt sorry for her, and the guilt ate him up. He admitted his mistake, "It's my fault, Miss Sage. I couldn't get hold of the situation in time.""Of course it was!" Sage glared at Hunter and said coldly, "I'll forfeit your bonus for the month."Hunter nodded as he accepted the punishment. He felt better for having been reprimanded.Leah nervously said, "Sage, this isn't Hunter's fault. He didn't do anything wrong…""Why didn't you tell me anything?" Sage frowned and asked Leah, ignoring her plea.Leah dared not say anythi

    Although Zane's held only honorary titles in the Norah Group, he had quite the audacity to flaunt his authority.He asked for the Vice President position at Norastar Entertainment from Braxton, and the only thing he was in charge of was approving the contracts of the actors in Norastar.The Norastar was once the hottest Entertainment Company in the country and has made numerous actors a star.

    "Miss Norah!" The junior artist dashed towards Sage as they saw her as if their savior had finally arrived.Zane's face darkened as he saw Sage and Leah barging into his room."Please leave us," Sage instructed Ivan to bring the junior artist to go downstairs as she brought Leah in.Zane had a displeased face. He sat cross-legged and he was unfazed. He wore a formal suit which looked prim and proper; it was a huge contrast to his inappropriate manner to the young girls in this company.Compared to Braxton's cunning behavior, Sage hated Zane's pretentious manner even more. Why did her uncles have such different personalities compared to her father?"My niece, what brings you here to Norastar?" Zane patted off the non-existent dust on his clothes and greeted Sage without even looking up with his hands fiddling with something random on the table."What are you even doing here in broad daylight?" said Sage with words as cold as ice. Zane was unmoved by her questions. He looked up w

    That drove Zane up the wall. "You bitch! How dare you say that about your uncle?"Sage held the glass in her hands and fiddled with it as she said lightly, "You should be feeling lucky that you're my uncle. Your brain would be blown into bits right now if you weren't!"As she said it, she flew the glass in Zane's direction. The glass brushed against his cheeks and then landed on the glass cabinet behind him, shattering into pieces. Fractured glass scattered everywhere on the floor, and Zane held his head as he was frightened.It scared the living daylight out of Leah as well. She subconsciously sat up straight, and she felt her heart almost give out.If the glass did fly straight to Zane's head, he really might have died there and then.Sage was never one to go back on her words. She always did what she said.Zane held his head and hid under the table. He looked at the shattered glass on the floor and shivered as if he was experiencing hypothermia; though it was a bright, warm da

Something going on between you and Julian?"Yeva sat by the bed, looking down, and said with an aggrieved tone, "He cheated on me again." "That son of a bitch!

The exact amount, that she would never know.She could try to fix the relationship if he had one, or even two girls… but she couldn't put up a fight if she did not know who or how many she was against.

    "In other families, the parents are usually the ones to rush their kids into marriage but look at you, you're the one urging me about it. Daughters should be married away earlier otherwise they might face difficulty in the future… Alright, alright.

She was worried sick on the way back."Sage, I'm afraid my father will do something to hurt you. I won't be able to..."Sage tilted her head and saw Leah's eyes filled with sorrow. She let out a faint smile and said, "Silly girl, he's still able to hurt me even if I didn't say those things to him. A leopard can't change his spots. I'll be damned if my voice wasn't heard.""But, I'm still worried…" said Leah quietly."What are you still worried about? That he'll deliberately hurt me or set me up?" Sage finished Leah's sentences.Leah looked down shamefully for having a father like Zane.Sage looked up wit

    Jace made Sage stay up all night. Sage was so sleepy that her eyes were closing."Sleep. I'll wake you up later."Jace leaned down and kissed her forehead. As he closed his eyes, he remembered something and sat up sharply."By the way, we have to wear white shirts for tomorrow's photo session. We haven't prepared the shirt…"Jace rolled over and jumped off the bed right after saying that. Sage could not stop him in time, so she turned on the lamp helplessly. She leaned over the bed and waited for Jace in silence.Shortly after, Jace came back with two shirts. His eyes were shining. "Dear, you've prepared for us?""Yeah." Sage nodded weakly. "I've got them ready. I've had Zamora iron them for me."Jace could finally put his mind at ease. "What about the documents and identifications…"Sage pulled open the drawer of the bedside table and took out the papers and documents she had prepared ahead. "It's all here."Sage looked at Jace.

    Sage spread out the notebook and looked at the blurred handwriting. She slowly read it out loud, "Step one, conquer her with sweet talking. Use sweeter and flirtatious words that would make people blush. Forget about modesty and shame in bed. It's best to whisper them into her ears…"Sage read the notes with a straight face, making Jace so embarrassed that he could hardly keep his feet on the ground.Jace strode forward with a stiff face and tried to snatch the notebook away. Sage was quick to dodge and continued reading with her head down."Step two, be aggressive at your offense. Focus and remember this, being rough yet gentle. You can use props such as blindfolds, ties, handcuffs, and so on…"Sage's face turned red while reading it. As the images popped into her mind, she had to stop reading.Jace was about to go crazy.

    "Is that so?" A trace of interest flashed in Jace's eyes.Sage did not understand, so she asked, "What does a small forward do?"Jace explained, "The small forwards are typically the tallest and most athletic of all players. They are responsible for scoring points and defending. The main goal of strong shooters is to score and create opportunities for teammates. In other cases, they would operate as off-ball specialists. They would wait for teammates to pass the ball, catch the ball, and shoot to score."Seeing Sage's confused look, Jace added, "James and Durant, for example, are playing as small forwards.""Oh!" Sage immediately understood after hearing the name of these famous basketball stars. Her eyes lit up. "Isn't that amazing?"Jace saw the sparkle in her eyes and found her really adorable.

Sage knew he would get back at her.She rolled over and lay on top of Jace. She played with his chest and said in a muffled voice, "I have a new nickname for you."Jace responded, "Hm?"Sage looked up at him. "Vengeance."Jace was stunned and soon broke into a peal of laughter.
