In the end, Sage’s father found her and carried her away from the college students.She went home and described her experience with her mother, “Mommy, those college students were silly. They couldn’t even solve a simple math problem. What are they doing with their brains?”Lady Primrose patted her nose and said, “Not every little kid is as lucky as you, Sage. You inherited my perfectly excellent genes, and I gave you your intelligence. Don’t go around calling people silly, now!”Sage looked out the window as she was reminded of her childhood. She missed it.There were several graduating students having their photos taken. They were all dressed in their graduation caps and gowns. The sun was shining brightly, and their faces were bright red, but they were overjoyed.Everyone could feel the youthful exuberance in here.“Sage, Hunter! You guys are finally here!”Leah wore her graduation gown as she ran toward Sage happily. She grinned from ear to ear.Sage smiled as she wiped the
Sage raised her head and her first reaction was to think, 'Kids these days sure are tall.'She could roughly tell that he was about 2 meters tall.Puberty sure did help him well.Not only was he tall, but he was also pretty handsome.He spotted a white basketball jersey with a white headband, his fringe drenched with sweat. His skin was a healthy tone of caramel, and he had a pair of doe-looking eyes, sparkly and pure.It had been a while since Sage had seen such a clear and pure pair of eyes.Sage also found the young man's facial features to be oddly familiar. It was as if she had seen that face somewhere prior to that.Sage took over the smartphone and took a photo for them. A group of youthful teenagers posed childishly in front of the camera, beaming as they shouted, "Cheese!" "There you go."Sage was about to hand the smartphone back to the teen when a couple of the boys urged on with a hopeful glint in their eyes. "It's not every day we get to see such a beautiful seni
"Pfft… Haha!"The crowd burst into laughter whilst Sage was rendered completely speechless; she smiled as the teen turned his head to look at her.That moment was captured forever by the camera.Sage was in a good mood when she left the sports academy; perhaps it was influenced by the group of youthful teenagers.The graduation ceremony was held in the school hall. The Principal was giving his speech and best wishes to his beloved students. "Today, you're a student who is proud of your alma mater. In the future, your alma mater would be proud of the person whom you'd become," said the Principal as he ended the speech on a high note.The thick Bachelor's Gown had rendered the students sweaty from the heat, and everyone just wanted to get it over with, except for Sage, who fully concentrated on the speech in the designated parent’s area.The students queued, and one by one, they received their certificates from the Principal on the stage. Students were considered to be officially
At Tasteful Restaurant, Sage had prepared a hearty meal for Sean the lawyer along with Suki and Dean.Sage knew that Sean had always been a fan of grand gestures. Her plan was for them to go to the Saint Lutens Hotel. She had even made a reservation for a private room. Sean, however, declined the offer. "Let's go to Tasteful Restaurant instead, I miss your cooking,” said he."What are you in the mood for?" Sage chuckled lightly and asked."I haven't had a good meatball meal in a long time.""Sure, let's get you some good meatballs."That afternoon, Sage took an early day off. She arrived at Tasteful Restaurant and went down to the kitchen.Myles, who was doing some prep work, saw Sage walking into the kitchen and putting on the chef's hat. He asked shockingly, "Are you cooking in person?""Yeah," Sage hummed in response. "An important friend of mine wanted some meatballs, so I'll be making some for him.""Let me help you, then.""It's alright. Didn't you accept a new apprentic
The last thing Sage expected was to see the so-called basketball star here in Tasteful Restaurant, let alone as the apprentice of her apprentice.Sometimes life was just funny that way."You're Jimmy?" Sage remembered his friends calling him that.The young man's hand twitched. He looked up at Sage with his even redder cheeks and looked back down immediately. "That's right, my name is Jim Sylas.""Jim Sylas."Sage repeated his name under her breath. She then looked at the young man and raised her brow. "Who is Dean Sylas to you?""You know my brother?" Jim exclaimed, stunned.So, they were brothers."Who wouldn't know him? He's a famous celebrity." Sage did not further explain to him her relationship with Dean. "Oh, right," Jim responded as he scratched his head and smiled innocently.That smile was pretty contagious. Sage said gently to him, "I'm making some meatballs. Your master is busy at the moment, so you'll help me with it today.""Copy that, Ma’am!" Jim said enthusi
Sage and the other two were waiting in Room Elegante for a while before Sean showed up.Suki and Dean both got up to greet the latecomer but were stunned upon seeing the man who walked in. They had been both aware that Sean was young and successful, but they had no idea that he was so good-looking.Sean wore a striped suit. He was 1.8 meters tall with chin-length wavy hair and a pair of gold-framed glasses sitting on top of his nose bridge. Curling around his wrist was a Lorex watch. He had a typical look for a young urban professional."Apologies for the long wait. I’m late because of the traffic today."Sean's voice sounded low, which made his apologies sound solemn."Don't worry about it," said Suki and Dean whilst Sage said, "The meatballs are getting cold, Mister Chester!"Sean's face loosened up immediately as he took his suit off and said in a casual tone, "Let's dig in then, your meatballs are the only reason I came all the way from Brown City to Salem City!"Sage snappe
"How about this, Dean and I will excuse ourselves while you guys carry on."Sage was about to get up and leave along with Dean when Suki stopped her. "There's no need. I have nothing to hide from you guys," Suki said.Suki was someone who had been through ups and downs. So, she easily composed herself within a blink of an eye before continuing.Suki then answered Sean, "Yes."Without a change of expressions, Sean pressed on, "Did he succeed?""No, I called his wife. She arrived in time and beat me up before leaving the scene," Suki answered with a straight face.Sage bit her lips and cracked her knuckles, making a crisp crackling sound. Her eyes were filled with rage.'That f*cking *sshole!' Sean nodded lightly as he continued, "Has Lionel attempted to pimp you out to other men before?""Yes."What else was there to hide anyway?"Not too long ago, Lionel had to look for a new advertising company to work with as the partnership with the Yuriel Group did not go through. As a
No female celebrity who managed to climb to fame had a pure heart.It was impossible to survive without having some tricks up one's sleeve for self-protection.Suki knew and prepared herself for the worst. However, she was extremely cautious as once news like that got out, her whole career would go down the drain."Pass me the videos, I'll take care of it," Sean responded calmly.Suki was hesitant. "Mister Chester, once I give you the videos, there'll be no turning back for me. Are you certain you can terminate the contract?""As long as you're honest with me, everything will go as planned," Sean said confidently. Once the video was sent to Sean, he got up and said to Sage before leaving. "There's still some wine left in the bottle, please seal it for me to go."Sage ordered the staff to pack the wine as she said to Sean, "My brother has a pretty low tolerance, please watch out for him.""I can't watch out for him."Sean took a drag of his cigarette and chuckled lightly befor
