The way Emily rolled her eyes was eerily similar to how Sage rolled hers.It was like looking at a younger clone of Sage.Ross knew better than to get angry at her, he coldly replied, “Are the only function of your eyes to roll to the back of your head?”Emily immediately regretted rolling her eyes. She glanced at Sage beside her and said, “I learned from Sage.”Ross continued before Sage could get any remarks out, “Are you comparing yourself to your aunt? Are you as beautiful as she is? As smart? Or do you think you have bigger eyes than hers?”Emily did not know what to say to that.“Your aunt had already been to countless international meetings, carved countless jade, earned a fortune which you can’t start to comprehend, what can you do, other than making me angry?” asked Ross.Sage was surprised by how highly her brother thinks of her.Emily tried to shift the blame away from herself, “That’s because she has good parents. What do I have? You, an unreliable dad! How can you
Sage knew that no matter how nonchalant Ross acted in front of Emily, he cared deeply for her and he was scared that Emily might get in with the wrong crowd.Sage was not going to withhold any information from Ross. “Riverside City, Yoel Fulton.”Ross raised his eyebrows, “Brad Fulton’s youngest son?”“Yes. Do you know him?” asked Sage.Ross leaned back into his seat as he said, ”I’ve heard some rumors. He’s the favorite son to succeed the Fulton’s family business. However, I heard rumors that he’s been trying to woo you.”Sage nearly spit out the tea in her mouth. “Why do you care about these rumors? How’d you even get to know something like that?” asked Sage.“My disciples studying under me tells me stories. Ever since you came back, you’re always the topic of discussion amongst my disciples. Everybody on Mostal has heard about it,” explained Ross.Sage was rendered speechless. “Now that I know he’s Yoel, there’s no way I would let Emily be with him. Everybody knows he’s a
When Wayne saw Sage pick up the contract, his voice quickly trailed off and when he saw the crossed look on Sage’s face, his heart immediately sank.“Sage, I…” Wayne tried to explain himself, but before he could finish he was interrupted by Sage.“The project seems interesting. If you want to take part in the project, I could ask the legal team to look over the details of the contract. Better safe than sorry,” said Sage.Wayne was shocked by how good Sage took it. He nodded and said, “Sure, sure.”When both of them left the hospital, the sun was already looming over the horizon.The moment Kane and Luther heard that Ross was in town, they immediately took Ross out for dinner.Sage on the other hand was stuck in a jam. Sage looked out of her car window, into the rain. She could not help but feel bothered by the contract she saw on her grandfather’s bed.Ross sat at the other side of the car. He look over to Sage and said, “You can’t run forever, one day you would have to face y
Ross slowly recounted his side of the story, “When we arrived at Nadeem City, we saw how different you were. It was as if you were a completely different human being. Like you were tamed, you were no longer the troublemaking sister that I remembered.” Sage felt her throat go dry, and her face started burning up, who knew that Ross and Tim saw her back in Nadeem City.‘Back then, they were probably laughing at me,’ thought Sage to herself.“We saw how you tried to play the role of a good wife. How you tried your best to make him comfortable. That very moment I felt an uncontrollable rage arise within me, if Tim didn’t stop me then, I would’ve probably got down from the car and brought you home,” said Ross.Ross felt the rage within him even when it was something in the past. “Your brother said something that I didn’t understand.”“What did he say?” asked Sage.“He said you had it coming,” answered Ross.Sage was speechless. She suddenly felt that everything seemed so meaningless
Jace did not react to his teacher’s teases. “There’s nothing to be awkward about. I too used to be young. Did you think that a handsome man like me has always been single? There once was somebody, somebody whom I loved, but back then I didn’t know better…” said Mendoza. “Learn from my mistake. Don’t be too proud to admit that you are wrong. Don’t be stubborn like me,” said Mendoza.Mendoza continued with his life lessons, “If you don’t apologize in time, you might not ever get the chance. If you don’t try to do what’s right by the people you love, you’re going to regret it for the rest of your life.”Jace listened to his teacher silently.That was the first time Mendoza gave him any advice after his divorce from Sage.When Mendoza was finished, Jace finally nodded and said, “I know what to do.”Mendoza led Jace to the office after locking up the safe. His desk was littered with tools and it was apparent that Mendoza was in the middle of a project.No matter how hard Mendoza t
The car finally pulled over at Tasteful Restaurant.Holding an umbrella for Sage, Ross walked into the restaurant with her.From afar, it looked like a scene from a movie; Ross who wore a white long-sleeved tee, and Sage who wore a long red dress, both walking under the rain.Jim who served the dishes noticed Sage right away and a smile found its way onto his face. However, his smile faded away slowly the moment he realized the man standing next to her, had his arm placed around her shoulders.Ross handed the umbrella to a waitress and he noticed a tall-looking young lad that stared at him. The gaze of the young lad was cold.Ross felt a sense of rivalry from the young lad.Ross guessed who the young lad could have been when he heard Sage calling out to him, "Jim."When Sage called his name, the young lad immediately beamed and pulled into a wide grin. The coldness in his gaze melted away and was replaced by warmth.He walked over to them. "Hey, sis!"Ross arched one of his br
Acting like a child around Ross, Luther wrapped his arms around Ross's neck and planted a kiss on Ross's cheeks."..."The scene caused quite a big stir in the restaurant.Customers stared at them and some were even ready to take photos of them. Sage hurriedly dragged Ross and Luther upstairs to stop them from further embarrassing themselves.Ross was Primrose Norah's godson and he was also good friends with Sage's brothers. The guys formed an alliance when they were young as they stayed together at Rosa Garden. The brothers received training together, were punished together, and even resisted together.Their friendship and brotherhood were formed during those years.Luther was the closest with Ross since young and hence he was over the moon when he saw Ross."Where's Emily? Didn’t you bring her with you?"Luther poured Ross a glass of wine. "I thought you were going to bring her with you?"Ross replied, "She's acting up these days. I've grounded her."Sage took a glance at R
Sage was completely rendered speechless by her two brothers.Did they think that they were stand-up comedians?Ross, on the other hand, was satisfied with their reactions. He felt as if he finally found someone who understood how he felt and shared his feelings.The three guys started judging and criticizing Yoel. They even came up with a plan to put an end to Emily's silly crush. Their ideas were more terrifying than the others."Emily cooped up in the house for too long and everyone at the school of Samuels is all decent and well-mannered people. Hence, Emily would of course see someone as sly and cunning as Yoel to be special.""I don't mind if Emily gets into a relationship at this age, but it matters who the guy is right? Yoel’s a notorious player and I even heard rumors that he changed 29 girlfriends in just one month. That's a different girlfriend every other day, ain't it?"Sage asked, "What about that one day? Where could he be doing that one day?"No one cared to respo
