Kane was unfazed as he replied, "Don't worry, there will be plenty of chances for me to do something about it."Once again, Laura felt hooked like a fish that bit the bait. She felt helpless, like a death row inmate waiting for the guillotine to drop.Sage noticed that Laura was about to explode. She immediately stepped in and said, "Don't get too worked up. Your waist is still healing."Her words immediately caused Laura to calm down, and she mustered up her biggest smile. "Haha! What brings you here?"Kane could not believe what he was seeing.Laura even patted the seat beside her, indicating for Kane to sit beside her. "Sage's brother is also my brother. Come, sit!"Kane sat beside her but still could not believe she would turn her altitude around quickly. He asked, "Are you sure you are not an actor?""You know what, I did! I went to an acting school for a few years," replied Laura.Kane was once again rendered speechless. "Okay.".Kane, of course, knew that she was lying.
Laura and Sage exchanged glances expressing how little they trusted these two men before them.Kane and Jace had spent the entire day stalking them and were famished. As such, both immediately ordered a bunch of sashimi, rice bowls, and ramens.Not long after, both men started feasting on the food.Sage and Laura wanted to leave, but with the men blocking the entry, they could only sit there and wait until they were finished with their food.Sage and Laura could not help but feel that the food was not as good as they once thought it was. Jace and Kane may seem elegant, but the speed at which they were consuming the food was quite alarming,"Why aren't you guys talking? You guys were having so much fun just now. Weren't you feeding each other also? Continue doing your thing," Kane said through his gritted teeth as he gulped down a big mouthful of rice. Sage and Laura could clearly decipher the resentment in his tone.'Is he jealous of me, his own sister?' thought Sage.Laura,
Sage and Laura, on the other hand, decided to go for some exercise. After all, a little physical activity after a meal would help with digestion.As dusk arrived, the setting sun painted the blue sky with a dash of brilliant orange. A sports car tore down the street with both women inside with the speakers blaring. Laura swayed softly to the song. Her eyes closed, and her hands outstretched to feel the wind coursing through her palms.Kane, on the other hand, was in a blue sports car, driving just behind them. When Kane saw that slim, outstretched hand, he felt a sudden rising urge. He could feel his body burning up.Kane could only crank up the air conditioning.Jace, on the other hand, was not doing much better when he saw the men who were cat-calling Sage. His hands unconsciously curled into a fist.Laura, of course, noticed the blue car that was tailing them."Why are they stalking us?" asked Laura.Sage looked at the car in her side mirror and remained silent.Sage knew
"Why are you asking me?" asked Jace."Didn't you say that this is your city?" exclaimed Kane.Jace decided that the best way to know where they were going would be to call Laura.However, Laura was not picking up, so Jace sent her a message. [Pick up, or else I'm going to tell your family where you are]Laura immediately called back. "Old Dried Fish, don't you dare sell me out!" "Where are you going?" asked Jace."Sage already told you. We are going to a place where only girls go. Don't follow us! If you guys have too much time on your hands, do something meaningful instead. If you follow us, don't blame us if things get ugly!" replied Laura."What is a place where only girls go? Where could that be? Are they going to watch male strippers?" asked Kane.'Strippers?' Jace thought to himself.On the other hand, Sage and Laura finally felt a wave of relief after losing the men tailing them.Laura suddenly felt the urge to drive and exchanged seats with Sage."What do you want
Sage and Laura reached the club under the guidance of the navigation app.The club requires a membership. Sage was just about to register for membership when she heard somebody behind her call out to her."Sage!" Sage turned around and saw a slightly hefty man, who was clad in luxury, walk toward her. The register sitting at the front desk immediately got up and said, "Boss!"Sage, of course, knew who he was. He was Henry Yuriel, one of Jace's cousins."Henry? Is this club yours?" asked Sage.Henry smiled and nodded.Even though Sage recognized Henry, she did not know him personally. Sage mainly saw him at family gatherings and never met him personally.Braxton has two sons. One of them was a national chess champion, and he always stayed at his own house. Sage has only met him a handful of times.The other son would be Henry, the prodigal son. He was well-known for his ability to waste money. When he was a kid, he would sell off the antiques in his house for a low price, an
Henry suddenly reacted and quickly shook his head. "Yu… no, Zach told me you were coming. He even ordered me to take good care of you!"Even after Henry tried to correct himself, Sage still heard him.Sage squinted her eyes and asked, "Oh, really?"Sage took out her phone and called Zach.After a long awkward pause, Zach finally picked up."Hello?" asked Sage. Henry felt his heart pounding in his throat."Hello!" A panting voice came through on the other side."Sage! I was at the court! I almost missed your call. Do you need any help? Can you find the club?" asked Zach."I found it. Why didn't you tell me that this club was Henry's?" Sage asked."I thought you would know. What difference does it make? Just have fun with your friend!" replied Zach.After a few more words with Zach, Sage finally hung up.Zach, on the other hand, slumped into the chair as soon as Sage hung up."Are you trying to kill me? Do you know how fast I tried to get here after you spam called me? If t
Kane sneered at Jace's proposition."Do you seriously think I can't win Laura over by myself?" asked Kane."You might stand a chance if she was an ordinary woman, but Laura is no ordinary woman," replied Jace.Jace continued, "You love Laura. That's why you must also know her very well. You would know that Laura fought alongside me for a long time. We lived together, ate together. I know what she likes and what she doesn't."Kane felt his blood boil when he heard Jace say that they lived together.Sage, on the other hand, got off the phone with Zach and could not help but frown when she saw Henry looking relieved.'What is he scared of?' thought Sage to herself.Henry patted his chest and said, "Thank god you didn't tell Zach I was here. If you told him, he would probably let the entire family know. I just came back, and I don't want my carefree days to end so soon."Sage finally relaxed after hearing Henry's explanation.Sage knew that Henry's mom would nag on and on. It was
After washing off the sweat and grime from their body, Laura and Sage got into their bathing robes and walked into the spring.The attendant led them into a beautiful private hot spring with a meticulously carved stone sculpture in the middle that would spurt out hot water into the bathing area.Laura and Sage could not help but sigh with relief when they dipped into the warm water.The water was around 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and both of them quickly became flushed in the bath.It was not long before they started talking. Their conversation was boundless and seemed unending. The attendant even brought in fruits and coffee so they could eat, talk and relax.After a long relaxing bath, both of them got out and changed into robes for the sauna room."Who would have thought that they would even sell clothes for the sauna room? They really are trying to milk every last penny from the customer," toasted Laura.Sage could not help but laugh at the cartoon robe Laura had on."I thin
