“What do you want from me, Jace?”Sage invited all the staff from backstage for dinner and started negotiating with Jace as soon as they got in.She took out her phone, showed him all the messages sent by his family members, and said, “Isn’t it enough that you’re here to keep me on my toes? Must you involve everyone else in your family?”Jace looked up at her and said calmly, “I have no means to keep you on your toes, or to disturb you… I just want to help you…”“Help? So now you think I need help?” Sage scoffed and said, “Mr. Yuriel, maybe I wasn’t clear earlier when I said it, and you misunderstood. Allow me to say it one last time. We are never getting back together.”Jace had an indescribable expression on his face; he said, “This is not entirely up to you.”Sage felt anger fumed up her chest.‘Not up to her? Up to who then?’ Sage thought inwardly.Jace looked at Sage’s cold yes and calmly said, “Sage, I was wrong for treating you the way I did for the past three years. I d
It took Jace a while before he picked it up and said in a hoarse voice, “Yes.”“How was it? Did you manage to get her?” said Yoel.Yoel just finished shopping at the Norah Jewel website, and he called to check on his best buddy. Seeing as Jace hesitated to speak, he understood, “Not going smoothly, eh?”Jace felt a lump in his throat, not saying a word.The sky turned dark, and there was a thunderstorm. Zayne reminded Jace, “Mr. Yuriel, let’s get into the car. It’s going to rain soon.”As Jace was about to hang up, Yoel yelled on the phone, “You’re still there, and it’s going to rain? Good, good. Listen, don’t leave!”Yoel looked up the weather online, and it was going to rain heavily tonight. His eyes lit up. “Hey Jace, I've got an idea. Tonight’s thunderstorm will be an opportunity for you!”It rained heavily just as expected. Moreover, it was terrifying.Sage and her staff finally finished work. She held out a stack of cash and made it rain for everyone to grab as a reward.
An abundance of rain poured down on Salem City.Jace and his assistant Zayne were drenched to the skin. Zayne held an umbrella next to Jace, but he refused to be covered by it. Zayne was only able to block the wind for him, but unexpectedly, the wind was so strong that he wasn't able to keep his footing anymore.“Mr. Yuriel, please get back into the car. The rain is too heavy!” Zayne was frustrated at his boss’ stubbornness. To him, safety always came first.Jace’s face was solemn, and his body stood frozen. Deep down, he was struggling.To be frank, Jace felt that being drenched by the rain was a stupid way to gain Sage’s attention, like some soap opera. He would much rather take a beating, but he had used that trick before.However, Yoel told him, “Just trust me, Jace. I have been in more relationships than you. Girls are all soft-hearted; no one can resist a little romance in the rain. It might be a little outdated, but who cares? It’ll work.”In the building, The Norah Jewelr
As Jace got into the car, Zayne immediately handed out a blanket to him. He also gave him some warm water and cold medicine. His mouth was as busy as his hands. Zayne complained, “I say, Mr. Yoel, he got it wrong this time. Drenching yourself in the rain… That’s completely outdated and not useful at all!”Zayne kept his mouth shut as Jace raised an eyebrow at him. He passed over the thermal flask to Jace.Jace took a few sips of water, and he instantly felt much warmer. Although he kept quiet, he was also thinking to himself, ‘What lousy advice Yoel gave!’He also learned about Sage’s temperament after being with her for these few days. She was not the kind of woman who would soften up upon romantic gestures, but on the contrary, she would hate you even more for it.He needed another plan.The new line launching for Norah Jewelry was a hit. It was the talk of the town in both the jewelry and fashion industry. As the lead designer of the lines, Ada and Leah were interviewed by va
Sage didn’t mean to make herself ugly on purpose.A few days ago, when she attended a cocktail party with Seth, men flirted and harassed her as they mistook her for some D-list celebrity.A junior celebrity might have to just suck it up, but Sage was not one of them. She bashed up all those who have tried to take advantage of her and sent quite a few of them to the hospital. Therefore, it was wise to conceal her identity, and it was effective.Her new look drove away from the old geezers and filthy rich and was able to attract the good-looking celebrities.A friend of Seth, a male actor, walked over and greeted Seth. He nodded politely at Sage and turned to him, “Seth, this is…?”Seth couldn’t blow her cover. He introduced her to him, “This is the new Vice President of Norastar Entertainment, Madam Sage.”Madam Sage. It was the perfect camouflage for Sage’s identity. The actor heard her name as Madam Page as he came forward to shake her hands, “Hi, Madam Page, my name is Xavi
“That’s common in this industry. He only married his wife to shut his parents up and give them grandchildren. He’s a well-known player.”Sage listened quietly and thought to herself, ‘Pfft, men are all the same. How many of them are loyal to their wives?’“Well, I heard that Starship Entertainment is a sinking ship these days. Brody Liam is still confined in jail no matter what his father did to help him, and his wife is making so much noise every day.”“Is she? Their share prices plummeted like crazy these days, and there’s also the tax evasion trouble. I heard Lionel used his artists to build relationships with the authorities.“I heard that they almost fought at the Luna Restaurant last night?”“Shh, not so loud! I was there last night. Mr. Lionel brought Suki and Dean along. One of the big bosses was interested in Dean and thank God Suki was there.”“Oh my god, that’s terrifying! What would happen if Dean was forced to… I heard Dean is into the ladies and quite an ill-tempere
Sage was positioned behind a large pine tree, so the two people did not even realize someone else was around there.The next moment, Sage heard a familiar raspy voice, “You’ll just sink deeper if I stop caring about you!”“That’s none of your business!” Suki’s sharp voice was shaky, “We broke up already! You’re a movie star, an heir to the Hector family. I’m not good enough for you. We are never destined to cross paths!”Seth said, “Your path is to sell out your sexuality for Lionel Liam. Aren’t you afraid he’ll sell you off for real one day?”“Whatever, I’m not a clean woman from the start,” Suki sounded calm yet pathetic. “No one’s pure and innocent in this damn industry. He’s my savior, and I’m willing to do anything for him.”“Willingly? You meant willingly getting hurt all over?” Seth's voice was unusually cold, “you’ll be raped by that monster if I didn’t make it in time last night!”“Well, I guess I owe you one then!” Suki bowed deeply at Seth and said, "You’re not my savi
Suki had a distant look in her eyes. She looked at Sage full of hatred, and it was hard for Sage to ignore.“Miss Suki,” Sage pointed at her own face and then at Suki’s and asked, “do we look alike?”Suki hated to be reminded of it, and yet Sage brought it up again. She angrily pushed Seth away, but she got hurt from falling. Suki felt a sharp pain in her ankle.“Be careful,” said Seth as he held her up.Their bodies were close to each other once again.Sage could not help but smile. She now knew how it felt like to be spectating two people in love, especially when both of them were gorgeous looking.Suki’s face felt hot as she fell into Seth’s arms. As Sage laughed at her, Suki’s face turned even brighter. She glared at Sage and said, “What are you laughing at?”“Laughing at your two for being inseparable,” said Sage now with a smirk, and Seth looked at Sage with pleading eyes, “Sage!”“Okay, I’ll stop.” Sage waved her hands and then turned to Suki, saying, “I think I need to
