They went to a mall a short distance away from the hospital, with a Yusimite restaurant with good reviews.They went during dinner time, and it was pretty crowded.The lighting in the restaurant was warm and atmospheric, and the order bell was of a dancing panda.Sage asked Jim what he would like to eat.Jim poured Sage a glass of water and said, "Go ahead and order. I'm fine with anything."Sage ordered based on an athlete's stomach and got orange chicken, sweet and sour pork, stir fry vermicelli, and a steamed fish with ginger and shallots.She also got herself a serving of Yusimite wine."Are these enough?" Sage asked Jim.Jim smiled and said, "Yes, I eat less for dinner anyway. We can order more if I'm still hungry later."Sage returned the menu to the waiter and said, "That's all for now."The dishes were served promptly. Sage got a bowl of chicken soup and a big piece of drumstick for Jim and said, "Have more protein. Look at how skinny you are.""Okay, you should eat
Jim raised his bowl of soup up and cheered, "Thanks, Sage."Sage told Jim to focus on his training and not worry about the restaurant as they could hire someone else to help if needed. She also said to prioritize his basketball career and that culinary could be his hobby.Jim nodded in agreement. "That's what I thought as well."Sage changed her tone. "But, it's not a bad thing to date someone. If you have someone you're into, go for it."Jim was in the midst of sipping his soup and almost choked."Whoa, calm down." Sage's lashes twitched as she laughed. "Did someone pop up in your mind?" "No…" Jim's head hung low as he said shyly and took a few more sips of the chicken soup. "Right now, I'm prioritizing my studies. Dating is not something I am thinking about at the moment.""Business and romantic relationships can go hand in hand. You don't necessarily have to just focus on one thing."Sage said as she poured him another bowl of soup. "If you have someone that you're into, go
Valentine's Day was just around the corner. Sage packed her things and was getting ready to head back to Salem City to attend the racecourse launch party.Yoel, as one of the partners, was attending as well.Melody, on the other hand, was heading back to Mostal with Ross.Melody had been massaging and doing chiropractic treatment for Yoel since he injured his lower back. Melody might seem like a playful child at times, but medically, she was skillful.Yoel and Melody bonded over time and formed a special friendship.For Yoel, that 'special friendship' between them was built upon the fact that Melody had helped treat him with chiropractic, and in return, he would let go of the pistachio incident.However, his generosity was not what Melody was after."Brother Rich, will you miss me when I'm gone?" Melody asked with her big sparkly doe eyes, staring at Yoel with anticipation.Yoel had been stared at by plenty of women before, but he was overwhelmed by Melody's gaze. He dodged her
Sage gifted a thinner silk blanket to Freya."Aunt Freya, since I didn't have enough time to sew, I brought you one instead. You take it for now. I'll sew you a new one when I have time. Send me the design you'd like me to sew onto the blanket."Freya was pleased. "My daughter is the best. I sure will, thank you so much.""No problem at all."Sage smiled as she passed a gift to Wendy. "Aunt Wendy, the weather in Mostal is cold. Here's some medicine patch for when your rheumatism acts up."Wendy accepted the gift gratefully.Sage would always prepare a gift for Wendy whenever she gave Freya something.In other people's eyes, Wendy was just a servant. However, Sage was different. She treated and respected Wendy like she was any other elderly.For that, Wendy was grateful.Wendy gave Sage a pair of leather pouches that she made herself. Sage was stunned. "This is?"Wendy uttered under her breath, "You're always carrying a knife with you. It's sharp and dangerous. Put them into t
Sage's appearance immediately stopped the quarrel between the three old men."Grandpa."Sage called out to Wayne and greeted Mister Mendoza and Grandpa Yuriel.The three old men retreated their fangs immediately upon seeing Sage and sat upright and decent."You're here, Sage. Come have a seat."Simon looked at Sage, his eyes filled with affection. Wayne glared at Simon and called out for Sage to sit next to him, showing off his badge of 'biological grandfather' to the rest."What brings you here today?"Wayne had been talking whilst carving. He managed to carve out a lively and delicate tiger while he was chatting with the other two.Sage's eyes were glued onto the tiger. How she wished she could stay and observe every single line and curve on it. "I'm going back to Salem City. I came to say goodbye before I leave," Sage answered."Leaving so soon?" Before Wayne could say anything, Mendoza and Simon stood up straight and asked with concern.Sage finally peeled her eyes of
May was quick-witted. Not wanting to miss out on such a good opportunity, she quickly went forward and bowed politely to the old men."My name is May. I'm really good at all sorts of chores, such as laundry, sweeping, watering the plants, and cooking. I know it all!"Wayne and Mendoza were still refusing the offer when Sage said, "This young lady is great at cooking, and she can even sing. Show them what you got, May."May nodded promptly and cleared her throat. "Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high…"Wayne and Mendoza's eyes sparkled upon hearing her voice, and they both applauded. "What a great voice you have there!"Mendoza smiled and asked May, "Young lady, who taught you to sing?""My mother's cousin's aunt's husband was a well-known singer. When he retired back home, my mom and I took care of him for a short while. He was the one who taught me how to sing."Simon heard the voice and came outside to check it out, "Is Carl Freeman the well-known singer you mentioned by
Sage was amused to see how desperate Kane was. Kane's eyes were burning with the desire to hint at Sage for allowing Laura to stay with them. She looked at Laura and asked, "You don't need to go back to Gemfield?"Laura answered, "My parents keep setting up blind dates for me. Just thinking about it makes my head hurt. It's best to just avoid it by any means I can. Let me take shelter at your place.""It's not a biggie, but I don't have that much free time on hand to accompany you…" Sage said.Laura waved her hand dashingly and said, "It's okay. There are so many fun and attractive places in Salem City. I can entertain myself.""I'm worried about leaving you alone." After deep consideration, Sage looked at Kane and asked, "Kane, do you have anything urgent to do? If not, can you please take care of Laura for me?"Kane looked indifferent and acted like he was not happy with the arrangement but had to agree with it because it was Sage's request and said, "I guess I can."Laura coul
Not only was Zayne speechless, but his feelings were also hurt. 'Did I really perform that bad at work?'"Keep the money and return it to her." Jace lowered his tone, "If she doesn't accept it, then tell her the contract had stated that all of Elder Norah's expenses in Nadeem City are to be paid by Yuriel Group.He knew that Mister Jace would never accept the money because the relationship between Mister Jace and Miss Sage would become solely business partners if Mister Jace accepted the money."And that nanny…" Jace suspected something. "Where did she come from? Why would they let her stay?"He had sent almost three candidates over, and all of them were the best in the field, but Mendoza and Elder Norah did not let them stay and asked them to leave as soon as they arrived. 'Why did they let the nanny Sage sent stay? Do they have a double standard with this sort of thing?'Zayne reported, "I heard that nanny knows how to sing and she is a disciple of the well-known singer, Carl Fr
