Jim could not believe that he had been exposed by Sage. He felt embarrassed."You did something out of kindness. Why are you so embarrassed by it?" Sage teased him as she glanced at his soaked shirt, "Go get changed before you get ill."Jim touched his shirt and said nonchalantly, "It's fine, it'll dry up in a minute."Sage kept quiet. Meanwhile, Hunter walked in with two shopping bags, "Miss Sage, I've got the clothes."Sage signaled a sign, and Hunter immediately stuffed the bags into Jim's arms, "Miss Sage ordered these for you. It should fit you perfectly, go try it on."Jim looked at the clothes in the bags and said surprisingly, "Miss Sage?"Sage said lightly, "Go get changed quickly. It’s time to get to work.""How much was it? I'll transfer it back to you." Right when Jim was about to take out his phone, he found another lollipop in his pocket.Sage laughed again as she looked at the lollipop. She grabbed it from his hands and said, "I'll take this in exchange for the c
Sage went straight from the office to Tasteful Restaurant. She didn’t get the chance to remove her makeup. Her eyeshadow, rose-colored hair, and red lips looked sharp and gorgeous.Sage’s outfit was rather casual today. She had a red sleeveless top on, paired with navy trousers and black stilettos. She had an incredible figure. Her tiny waist gave her an hourglass figure, and her skin was fair and bright. It certainly attracted others’ attention.“Oh my gosh, is this girl a waitress? I’ll be damned.”“No, she can’t be. Have you ever seen such a pretty girl as a waitress? She’s probably either the restaurant owner or the owner’s daughter.”“Oh, how I wished I had her figure! She’s tall and slim. Not too slim! Look at her sleek shoulders and those arms! Perfecto!”All the praises were from girls, and as for the boys, they couldn’t take their eyes off her.Myles lifted the curtains and got a shock.“Oh my gosh, why are they taking photos of her?”Jim was extremely busy and focus
Jim moved his lips to say something, "Miss Sage, do you… hate your photos being taken?"He thought girls loved taking photos.Jim had seen the girls in his school taking selfies everywhere with various poses and outfits. However, they often looked bad doing it."Yes." Sage added as she saw the confusion on Jim's face, "I don't bother taking my own photos.""I see," Jim responded. He thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth. He took out his phone and asked, "Can I keep this photo then?"Sage looked over to his phone and saw a photo of them together.The photo was edited to look brighter. She was wearing a white shirt paired with a pale-yellow skirt, and the young man beside her wore a white sports T-shirt and had a bright smile.Sage just realized they had a huge height difference as they stood together. Jim was much taller than her. She never noticed it. Sage sighed a little and immediately realized what was wrong with the photo. "Where's the rest of the people i
"I don't need you saving my money!" Sage pretended to be angry. She placed her hands on her waist and said, "You must accept this today, otherwise you can’t walk out of here tonight."Everyone cheered, "Accept it! Accept it!"Jim didn't know how to react to such a situation. Myles laughed along and said, "Quickly, everyone's waiting for you."Jim took one of the envelopes and opened it— it was more than anyone had gotten here. Everyone started cheering, "Jim must have done it on purpose! No way, he needs to give it back now!"Jim was used to it by now. It was the same with his basketball team."Okay, hold on." Jim went and prepare a few envelopes.Before he started, he specially looked at Sage and said, "Get ready, Miss Sage.""I have to join in, too?" Sage was shocked."Of course," Jim used the same tone she had just now. "Okay, I'll participate. Watch out, you guys," Sage raised her hands and pointed at everyone.As Jim raised his arms, everyone looked like they were abo
It was late by the time she reached Rosa Garden. The lights were kept bright outside, almost as though someone was waiting for her to come home.There were two cars parked on the front porch. Other than the car Sage got Leah for her graduation, there was another car Sage could not recognize.She thought they had guests, but when she walked in, to her sight was both Yeva and Leah seated on the couch. Yeva lay casually on the couch as if she was still in her own home.Yeva picked up a piece of fruit with a fork into her mouth and complained, "It's so troublesome getting married! I can't eat anything…"Leah was clearly disinterested in her wedding stories. She kept yawning, and she became awake once she saw Sage come in."Welcome home!" Leah stood up and walked over to Sage. Sage hadn't seen Leah for days and was happy to see her, too. Sage pinched Leah's cheeks and said, "You're finally back? I thought you'd end up staying at Ada's home forever.""Heehee, of course not," Leah hel
Leah stopped laughing as she leaned on Sage. "Sage did," she said.Yeva widened her eyes, she couldn't believe her ears. "I'm asking you again, who proposed to bring you over to Rosa Garden? Who saved you from Hell?"Sage insisted, "Sage did."No matter how many times Yeva asked, the answer would always be Sage.Yeva was speechless. She couldn't believe they had just easily casted her out. Leah wouldn't agree to be her bridesmaid no matter how she asked. She would just have to look around again.Yeva wouldn't have come to Leah if she had already found someone suitable. She had friends, but they were all indecent people. She took her wedding seriously as it was a once in her lifetime experience. She didn't want anything horrible to happen on her wedding day.The only person left who was pure and would not steal her limelight was Leah, but she refused to help her. She had no other way but to look for her acquaintances.Yeva had already gotten her marriage license with Julian and
After Sage had finished her meeting, she walked out of her office to a chaotic scene.She stood aside to avoid getting hurt. Hunter wanted to stop them, but Sage signaled him otherwise. Braxton deserved it. He shouldn't have challenged the youngsters.She didn't care as long as her staff had the upper hand.Braxton, on the other hand, was suffering! He never expected these young staff to beat the chairman.Weren't they worried about getting fired? Braxton had never been this speechless in his entire life.He was getting beaten up laying down on the floor, and he that felt his bones were about to break, yet it seemed like the young men did not plan on stopping anytime. He was in so much pain but couldn't do anything about it.He heard footsteps coming near him. A pair of black stilettos was seen at his eye level. He looked up and saw Sage in a full black suit, and she had a gold belt on her waist. She looked stunning today.Sage stood there looking down on him — cold and distant.
Sage properly introduced her staff to Braxton."These two on my left are my executive assistants, Cora and Louis. Cora is currently a Ph.D. undergrad at Salem Public University. The young man you slapped is Louis Trey, and he's currently in charge of our company's projects overseas. He's an MPA and MBA graduate from Stanfort University."She added, "Oh yes, he's an avid MMA fighter during his pastimes. Actually, he's an MMA champion."Braxton gulped. He started to look sheepish. He took a mental note to undergo a full body checkup later on to make sure he was alright. He had just been beaten up by an MMA fighter!Braxton had the worst luck. He thought he picked on a soft one to slap. How did he end up slapping an MMA champion?!Sage introduced him to her personal assistants. Both of them graduated from Ivy League schools, and they were all highly capable.Braxton felt like a small fry compared to them.As Sage finished introducing her staff, she looked him in the eye and asked,
