Yoel was the only one at that table who could comment about the dishes. He glared angrily at Jim's behind.

At that moment, Yoel was inspired to write a poem about his behind. He would title it 'Behind the Food'.

Everyone enjoyed themselves at the Tasteful Restaurant that night. They were all drunk in the end, and Yoel was surrounded by the female designers all night.

He defended his innocence to the end and yelled at Sage, who was far away.

"Sage, you can't do this to me! Please get your staff away from me…"

Sage waved her hand in the air. "Help yourself. You're welcome."

Jim closed the door after her.

Yoel grumbled, "Sh*t! Hey, stop touching me! Get your hands off me! I'm calling the cops…"

It was a midsummer night, and the sky was filled with stars. Sage felt a chilly breeze, and suddenly, she felt a weight on her shoulders. Jim draped his coat over her shoulders.

Sage was stunned as she looked at his white jacket and looked up at him.

Jim misunderstood her actions and said

    Zayne knew he said the wrong thing as soon as he opened his mouth.Jace looked at him with a weird expression and asked Zayne in an unkind tone, "Do you want to cause me more trouble?"Zayne chuckled awkwardly and replied, "Just ignore that idea."Jace rolled his eyes at him."Mr. Jace, what should we do now?" Zayne asked as he thought that the situation had worsened."Norah Jewelry's new line was a huge hit due to their viral advertisement. They became the new standard of our industry with Jade Master collaborating with them…"As soon as Zayne spoke, the LED screen across the street played the advertisement with Seth and Suki.Norah Group placed the video everywhere, including airports, commercial streets, and bus stops.Yuriel Jewelry's sales took quite a hit since Norah Jewelry landed in Nadeem City."I heard that people formed lines from the mall entrance to purchase from them. It was terrifying."Zayne was surprised at how well Norah Jewelry did with their new launches.

    Sage stood up and asked, "Kane? I thought you were in Brown City with Sean. What are you doing back here?"Kane grabbed a carrot stick and munched on it. "I'm done with my business there. Besides, Sean looks so unsightly that I can't bear to see his face."Sage smiled slightly and teased him, "It's because you can't keep your hands off others! People think you're in some kind of relationship with Sean."Sage got it right. Kane squinted and grabbed her neck, "What do you mean some kind of relationship? Hmm?"Sage was unable to breathe, with Kane grasping her so tightly. She ticked him, and Kane shivered as if his body was electrocuted and immediately let go of her.The fearless Kane's only fear was being tickled.Kane looked like a rabbit as he munched on the carrot. Sage laughed as she saw him. "When did you begin to love carrots this much?""There's nothing left for me to eat. Would you like to cook for me?"Kane had puppy dog eyes as he thought about Sage's cooking. "My good

    Kane was dumbstruck by Sage's response.He looked displeased, "What happened? Did Jace bully you again? I can always put him in a gunny sack and beat him up again!"Sage replied calmly, "There's no need for that. Stop causing more trouble. I just hope he can disappear from my life and never return."Kane looked at his sister. She didn't seem to be joking."Weren't you in love with him? What's going on?"Sage stopped chopping the vegetables and looked up at Kane. "I've grown up. Love is no longer my priority."She smiled and added, "I love myself more than I love him."It was hard to love one person forever. Sage became busier and more confident with herself these days, and she found something new about herself.She was rather talented in doing business. It was her life—her career.It was like the message behind the 'Queen of Hearts' ring designed by Ada.'If you're not his princess, you're your own queen."…The next day, Jace made a stop at the museum before heading to the

    Jace helped Mister Mendoza up, and the three of them walked toward the living area.“Mister Mendoza, how well do you know of this Jade Master?” Zayne asked as he made tea.“You mentioned that she wasn’t old. Is she a young girl then?”Mister Mendoza squinted his eyes and thought for a moment.“Let me see. She was barely ten years old when I met her. It's been fifteen… Sixteen… Seventeen…”Mister Mendoza counted with his fingers and gasped. “Oh! It’s been seventeen years. She shouldn’t be more than thirty years old this year. Compared to me, she’s a young girl. Haha!”Both Jace’s and Zayne’s jaws dropped onto the floor as Mister Mendoza said casually.That was impossible!…Meanwhile, in the Chairman offices of the Norah Group, Luther walked into the room and asked Sage, “How are you planning to celebrate your twenty-fifth birthday this year?”Sage was buried in paperwork. She responded without looking up, “I’m not celebrating.”“No way!”Luther walked over and half-leaned o

    Mister Mendoza provided lots of information even though he did not know Jade Master personally. For instance, Jade Master was not an old lady like everyone else thought. Instead, she was around 30 years old.He also mentioned that she was a private person. She only revealed herself once during her debut. Mister Mendoza had only seen her once from far.According to Mister Mendoza's first impression of her, she was a young girl with a petite and skinny figure and long hair. She also had a spirited personality.""How do you know she's spirited when you can't even see her face?"Unless he had the ability of discernment?Mister Mendoza knocked on the back of Zayne's head and said, "Of course! Her sculptures are all spiritual. You could even say she's rare and talented. Of course, she's spirited!"Jace listened quietly, and he immediately thought of Sage when he heard the word 'spirited'.His pupils darkened.Mister Mendoza looked at Jace and asked, "Why are you looking for Jade Ma

    No, Yoel did not want that."Okay. It's my fault. I won't do it again."Yoel raised both his hands as he walked up to her. "Stop being so cold to me. I almost died in those girls’ hands last night at the Tasteful Restaurant!"Sage was unfazed. "That can't hurt you. You're a playboy.""That's not true. I'm quite innocent and pure."Sage did not know where Yoel found the courage to say that. She reminded him, "You'd better walk your talk.""It's okay. Your image as the well-behaved wife is long gone, too," Yoel replied without thinking about the consequences.Sage looked up and glared at him. She retaliated in an icy tone, "Are you here to die? I don't mind sending you a ride."Yoel felt her indifference. He took a few steps back away from Sage.He chuckled awkwardly, "Hey, there's no need for that. We're just casually chatting over here."Sage could not be bothered. "Why are you even here? Say your words or leave."Yoel touched his nose. "I came here today to ask for your hel

    Sage kept a pair of comfortable slippers in the office.Yoel should have been grateful that she did not wear high heels or oxfords. Otherwise, he would have landed in the hospital."Listen to me! Don't get mad…"Yoel felt that things would end the wrong way, so he quickly corrected himself. "I'm not asking for you to have my babies. I want you to lend me yours!"Sage furrowed her brows. She could not understand Yoel."Borrow my babies? What the hell are you talking about?"Yoel carefully handed her the slippers and tried to put them on for her, but Sage grabbed them and put them on herself."You've mistaken my words…"Yoel carefully thought over his word choice, touched his nose, and continued, "To be honest, I'm attracted to your good genes. I want to have a smart and beautiful child!"Sage crossed her arms and legs. She sat on her chair with a stern face.It was terrifying. "I'd like to ask for your permission."Yoel's voice kept getting softer as Sage glared at him, but

    Jace looked up at Zachary, "Miss Norah?""I meant Sage."Zachary looked at them innocently, "You two are divorced, right? I can't just casually call her Sage, that's inappropriate."Jace was speechless. He felt uncomfortable being reminded of his divorce. Being reminded of it felt like a pinch in his heart.Zachary on the other hand wasn't bothered at all; he was all excited and said, "Miss Norah's new launch got everyone in my class discussing it. No one could get their hands on it no matter how long they queued. Luckily, I asked for a key charm from Sage beforehand."He then continued, "Everyone looked at me in envy when I told them the owner used to be my sister-in-law. It's a pity you two are separated now. If not, I could've gotten more from the back door…"Zachary kept on blabbering on, and on, and on, and every word he said felt like a sword stabbing into Jace's heart. His face darkened as Zachary kept talking."Nonsense!"Jace immediately reprimanded his cousin, "You sh

Sage had not slept all night because of a certain someone. She was so sleepy, while Jace was full of energy.Jace carried Sage to the bathroom to wash up and brush her teeth. "Open your mouth. Ah…"Sage squinted as she saw the terrible dark circles under her eyes. She turned around in anger and bumped Jace's head.Jace was caught off guard and felt dizzy from the impact. He rubbed his head. "Dear, aren't you hurting yourself by doing this…""Look at my dark circles. They're so ugly. How am I supposed to take pictures? Sage complained in anger.Jace squinted and rubbed his eyes. "Let me see. What's ugly?"He held Sage's face and observed it. "What's ugly? It's not ugly.

    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. "Everything is ready. You've checked three time

    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. He buried his face in his hands, unable to look up at Sage."Where did you learn all these?" Sage threw the notebook at Jace. "Rough yet gentle? Are you seriou

Jace thought and got a headache.Seeing that Sage was about to open her mouth again, he panicked and kissed her directly to shut her up.Dean was stunned by Jace's quick action. When he saw the couple kissing in the light, he suddenly raised his hand and hit his head.'I must be on the set… Who else would be so shameless as to kiss in public like that?' Dean thought.Sage finally calmed down after a long kiss. Jace breathed a sigh of relief and picked her up. He told Logan, "I'll leave the other guy to you!""Oh," Logan responded. Then he picked Dean up like a kid and walked out the door.Jace was tired and sweaty by the time he arrived at the hotel. Sage was already soundly asleep.

    "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. He said, smiling, "It is. Basketball is all about teamwork. Small forward is probably the most versatile of the five main basketball positions and carries multiple functions in the game.

    Jace muffled his laughs and relaxed in the night light. He said, "I have to work harder, or someone will call me old.""Hey." 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. Sage leaned on him and felt the rise and fall of his breathing. As his chest resonated with his laughter, Sage followed along with his laughter. Both of them were laughing like fools. Sage and Jace lay flat on the bed after laughing nonstop. They opened up and improved their intimacy so much. As a result, their whole body and mind were very relaxed tonight. "Hey..." The two spoke in unison, exchanged a glance, and smiled again.Sage said, "Go ahead."Jace looked at Sage and muttered, "I'll say something, but don't get mad at it.""Just say it."
