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,
Yeva rushed to Rosa Gardens the night Braxton's back was broken.She went to the Norah Group building, but she was blocked by security guards saying she was not allowed to enter as she was an outsider.She decided to wait for Sage at Rosa Gardens. She was not a good driver, and it was raining heavily. The traffic was insane that night. She was driving her convertible sports car and was drenched head to toe.While she was drenched in the rain, her contact lenses fell off, and she couldn't see the roads clearly. There were several times where she almost got rear-ended and being dragged down her car to be beaten up. Luckily she was pretty enough and pleaded the drivers to let her off the hook. Yeva finally reached Rosa Garden after going through all that. Her fighting spirit was almost gone at this point. She looked wrenched.When she walked into the dining hall, Sage and Leah were having dinner together, and Hunter was around too. He was there because he wanted to spend more time w
Yeva's words made them laugh wildly. It was the best joke they had heard all year.Yeva became even angrier from their laughter and huffed, "What are you guys laughing about now? You're scared, aren’t you?"Sage tilted her head and looked at Yeva, "You've got a huge potential starring in a comedy. When Julian chases you out of the house one day, come look for me. I've got just the career for you."Yeva could tell that she was being mocked. "Are you humiliating me?""No," Sage sounded sincere. "I'm trying to compliment you. It's not easy being a comedian! Definitely not easier than marrying rich."Yeva still thought she was mocking her, "Stop joking around. I'm serious, if you bully me again, I'll get my husband to finish you!""Julian, right? Go home and ask him to do it right now. Do you think he has the guts to do so? Besides, does he listen to you?"Sage looked expressionless, "He'll never have the guts to lay a finger on me. Also, does he even listen to you?""I…" Yeva was
“It’s her!”Jace jumped up instantly, which startled the collector.His expression was no less shocked than Jace’s, and he looked in Zayne’s direction, all confused, “What’s going on with Mr. Yuriel?”Zayne thought to himself, ‘Mr. Yuriel is probably mental.’ However, he only kept it to himself.The fact was, ever since their divorce, his boss was mentally unstable. He used to be a cool boss, but now… Zayne got used to it.All those were because of Sage, his ex-wife.Jace unveiled the second piece before he could explain further. The art piece was nothing like the one before, but equally exquisite.The collector could not help himself and started talking about the second piece.“Jade Master is a magician of upcycling. This piece is called, Rain in Salem, and she used the waste materials of a green jade bangle. She’s like a magician; only she could see the beauty in the waste materials and sculpt them into the scenery of Salem City.”“Look at how meticulous the details of the s
The helper Fifi said, “I think Mr. Yuriel knows Miss Sienna is here. That’s why he rushed upstairs.”“You mean they’re back together? Oh, that explains his hastiness…” one of the helpers Sarah guessed.Another helper Vanessa’s face and ears turned red, “Shh! How dare you joke about Mister?”The other helper Clarissa frowned, “If Mister is back with Miss Sienna, what about our ex-Missus? I thought he kept going back to Salem city to pursue her?”“Don’t be silly, how many divorced couples you know ended up remarrying each other? Slim chance, I think. It’s more possible that Sienna becomes our new Missus, but she’s a tough nut to crack.”Jace immediately thought of all the gifts she gave him once he knew Sage was the Master of jade. He treasured the gifts dearly and kept them in the cupboard.He did not know that he owned many of Master of jade’s pieces. He was blinded.Jace’s heartbeat accelerated as he got closer to the gifts. As he turned the doorknob, there was a strong fragran
