"That won't do." Simon said, "Leaving our friendship aside. Have you forgotten about your habit?"

Wayne widened his eyes, "What habit?"

"Once you start on something, you must complete it and it must be flawless or you'd rather not start at all."

Simon chuckled and continued, “A perfectionist with OCD. There’s no treatment for that.”

Wayne shouted, “Scram!”

“Alright, alright. You don’t have to be so hot-tempered.”

Simon pulled Wayne to sit down on the couch, saying, "It's all my fault. I failed to supervise those people. It will never happen again. You are the head of the project and you have all the say in it."

"I'm not going back because of you. The reason I agreed to go back is because of money!" Wayne snorted, "You think I didn't know how capitalist-minded you are? The project is already halfway done. I need to complete it to get my money."

Simon grinned from ear to ear.

"You don't have to worry about money. I know that when you sign the contract with Jace, all of the pr

    "First of all, there should only be only one CEO in the group, which would be me. Everyone else must obey me, other than you of course."Simon nodded, "Of course. I know that you're worried about Flynn and Felipe. I'm here to overlook them. Whatever position Jace had, you would have the same as him.""Secondly, I can't just leave and abandon the Norah Group. If I were to manage Yuriel Group, it would be hard for me to balance between the two. So why don't we form an alliance and be corporate partners? It would be a win-win situation to avoid any speculations from outsiders."That thought crossed Simon's mind too, and it was exactly what Flynn and Felipe worried about the most. Since Sage proposed this condition, it proved hat she had thought about it for quite some time and did not want to randomly agree to anything without knowing what she had at hand. She even thought about it carefully from different aspects and had the ability to look at the bigger picture.Simon was impressed

    Nigel would not stop going on and on and on. "Did a donkey kick your brain or did you hit your head on the door? Why do you keep on doing these sorts of things? Most people would only sacrifice their time and feeling when they date and marry someone. The most they could lose is just their youth and money. What about you? You're about to sacrifice half of your life to that man. Did Jace do something in your past life that you feel obligated to help him now? I'm so furious!"When Nigel finally finished venting, Sage said softly, "What does that have to do with Jace? From a business point of view, I did it for the future growth of Norah Group…""Forget about it. I still don't get why Tim didn't stop you." After that, he hung up the phone.Luther did not even bother calling Sage. He directly changed the group name to Please Help Our Silly Sister. After a while, Nigel changed it to The Helpless Silly Sister.Sage was not bothered by the group names at all. She just gazed at her phone an

    Sage went over with her hands behind her back and admired Yale's abs from a closer distance. She even used her finger to poke at his abs, uttering, "Tim, Captain Yale has a nice body."Tim said lightly, "He might wake up after you tease him a few more times."Sage knew Tim had a hidden meaning to it so she retracted back her hand and giggled at Tim. "It's natural for humans to be attracted to beautiful things."Tim could not be bothered by Sage and continued reading his book. The male caretaker continued wiping Yale's body, and Sage even taught him a few massage techniques. She grabbed Yale's hand and lightly pressed on a few acupoints. "Just like this. You can press his acupoints every day to help him relax his muscles and to improve his blood circulation so his body would stay stiff after lying down for so long."The caretaker had a very good temper and patiently learned what Sage taught. They examined all of the acupoints on Yale's body, including those underneath his feet.T

    Sage lowered her head again; she was out of words to say. Tim said calmly, "Kiddo, you're a grown-up now. You need to experience your own life. Just do whatever you want to. There's no right or wrong."He added, "We only live once. Enjoy it."Sage nodded and smiled.…The next day was Easter Day, a joyful day to spend together with families. Over the past three years, Sage celebrated Easter Day together with the Yuriel family. Her brother had their own houses, so all of them celebrated it on their own. At least, they would video call each other now.This year, Sage was unsure if her brothers were all mad at her. They did not video call her at all. She was a little sad when she looked at the group chat with her brothers, waiting. She sighed, finished her work, and got into the car exhausted. She then began to wish everyone a happy Easter Day in all of the other group chats and with her friends.Her phone notification tone had been ringing since earlier morning. Many people had sen

    Laura's beautiful face blushed. She nodded, "He asked me to be his girlfriend and I agreed.""Congratulations." Sage's eyes sparkled with surprise. She thought it would take at least eight to ten years for Kane to succeed since the difference in their family background was too wide.After placing all the pies on the tray, she put them into the oven. Her interest in gossip appeared, "What did Kane do for a superwoman like you to say yes?""Darn, who says I'm a superwoman?" Laura reprimanded and then answered with shyness, "He didn't do anything and it wasn't that I didn't like him. It's just that my family objected and that worried me. But I like him so I have to accept him being him, including his family background of course. I'm sure we can solve anything as long as we face it together. He is so brave so I should not back up into my shell. I can't lose to him."The way Laura treated her relationship with sincerity and trust made Sage remember her old self.Laura looked down and

    "Okay."Tim had given his word, so Luther did not bother asking Sage and insisted on going to Nadeem City with her.Sage had no objections to this request. Luther could come with her if he wished to anytime. Anyway, she would be traveling back and forth between two cities, and Nadeem City was not too far from Salem City.Everyone finished the food on the table and was filled to the brim. After that, they went for a walk in the garden. Sage did not each much during the meal, but she drank a lot and got a little drunk.She had a flight to catch tomorrow, so she had to go to bed early today.She walked upstairs shakily and something suddenly came up on her mind. She turned back to Tim and said, "By the way, Tim, can you talk to Yale when you visit him? It'll help him with his road to recovery. If there's anything odd, tell me as soon as possible." Tim's blue eyes flickered slightly. "Okay," he promised."Alright, good night then.""Good night."After saying good night to each

    The blazing hot sun ignited the world, shining on the skyscrapers. The Yuriel Group building stood out in the Nadeem City CBD today.At around two in the afternoon, many black limousines pulled up at the entrance. The directors in suits stepped out one after another, and then the vehicles drove away one after another.They buttoned their suits with sullen faces when they exited their cars. When they went upstairs to the meeting room, they lowered their voices and spoke in hushed tones"What's going on? Old Mister Yuriel personally called and told me not to be late. When the late former CEO Mister Jace took power, he didn't even have such a grand arrangement. The one coming today is not from the Yuriel family, but the Norah family instead.""Don't think too much about it anymore. The news is confirmed. The eldest lady from the Norah family is coming today. I heard they whole-heartedly invited her over. She's just a young girl… I don't understand.""Is there no one else that's capab

    How could the Yuriel Group be handed to such a young-looking girl?Despite that, many in their seat recognized Sage. They subconsciously sat up straight in shock and disbelief. They looked at Sage with widened eyes. "Miss Luz?" Those who had been to the Yuriel Mansion immediately recognized her as the former CEO's wife — Jace's wife. Oh, no. To be exact, she was Jace's ex-wife.They remembered Jace's wife as a gentle and soft girl. How did she turn into the noble and cold Miss Sage?Were they the same person?Sage heard the call and looked around to see who it was. Naturally, she recognized the few older men. "Mister Rent, Mister Fennec. Long time no see. I've made tea for you in the Yuriel Mansion before," said Sage.What she had just said confirmed her identity. Rent and Fennec awkwardly laughed. The short conversation shocked everyone around them.Yuriel Mansion? That was a place where not many could gain access.Previously, Miss Sage had attended the funeral of Mister Ja

    Sage heard of the saying, 'Marriage is for happiness, and so does divorce.'Based on Wikipedia, the definition of marriage was, 'Marriage is a long-term contractual relationship between a man and a woman based on equal consent.'Someone once said, 'Marriage is like a siege. Those outside wanted to break in, while people inside wanted to break out of the siege.'Sage and Jace had been through marriage once. In their first marriage, they were both losers. This time, they were both determined to win. They wanted to live their lives well. Even if their passion were to fade in the future, they would never leave each other. There were eight couples in line ahead of them. Sage and Jace were the ninth.Jace was eager for their turn. He counted carefully and then said with a smile, "It's nine again. It's a good day for this number."Jace suddenly came up with a good idea, "Let's have a daughter and call her Little Nine, okay?"'Did he just come up with that? How brave,' Sage thought and

    The ninth of September arrived quickly.Sage was worried that Jace would not be able to get up on time, but Sage turned out to be the one who overslept. Sage had not slept all night because of a certain someone. She was so sleepy, while Jace was full of energy.Jace carried Sage to the bathroom to wash up and brush her teeth. "Open your mouth. Ah…"Sage squinted as she saw the terrible dark circles under her eyes. She turned around in anger and bumped Jace's head.Jace was caught off guard and felt dizzy from the impact. He rubbed his head. "Dear, aren't you hurting yourself by doing this…""Look at my dark circles. They're so ugly. How am I supposed to take pictures? Sage complained in anger.Jace squinted and rubbed his eyes. "Let me see. What's ugly?"He held Sage's face and observed it. "What's ugly? It's not ugly. My wife is the prettiest in the world!"Jace did not care about the toothpaste foam all over Sage's mouth and kissed her anyway.Primrose opened the door and

    Jace made Sage stay up all night. Sage was so sleepy that her eyes were closing."Sleep. I'll wake you up later."Jace leaned down and kissed her forehead. As he closed his eyes, he remembered something and sat up sharply."By the way, we have to wear white shirts for tomorrow's photo session. We haven't prepared the shirt…"Jace rolled over and jumped off the bed right after saying that. Sage could not stop him in time, so she turned on the lamp helplessly. She leaned over the bed and waited for Jace in silence.Shortly after, Jace came back with two shirts. His eyes were shining. "Dear, you've prepared for us?""Yeah." Sage nodded weakly. "I've got them ready. I've had Zamora iron them for me."Jace could finally put his mind at ease. "What about the documents and identifications…"Sage pulled open the drawer of the bedside table and took out the papers and documents she had prepared ahead. "It's all here."Sage looked at Jace. "Everything is ready. You've checked three time

    Sage spread out the notebook and looked at the blurred handwriting. She slowly read it out loud, "Step one, conquer her with sweet talking. Use sweeter and flirtatious words that would make people blush. Forget about modesty and shame in bed. It's best to whisper them into her ears…"Sage read the notes with a straight face, making Jace so embarrassed that he could hardly keep his feet on the ground.Jace strode forward with a stiff face and tried to snatch the notebook away. Sage was quick to dodge and continued reading with her head down."Step two, be aggressive at your offense. Focus and remember this, being rough yet gentle. You can use props such as blindfolds, ties, handcuffs, and so on…"Sage's face turned red while reading it. As the images popped into her mind, she had to stop reading.Jace was about to go crazy. He buried his face in his hands, unable to look up at Sage."Where did you learn all these?" Sage threw the notebook at Jace. "Rough yet gentle? Are you seriou

    'Electric drill? Seriously?!' Jace thought and got a headache.Seeing that Sage was about to open her mouth again, he panicked and kissed her directly to shut her up.Dean was stunned by Jace's quick action. When he saw the couple kissing in the light, he suddenly raised his hand and hit his head.'I must be on the set… Who else would be so shameless as to kiss in public like that?' Dean thought.Sage finally calmed down after a long kiss. Jace breathed a sigh of relief and picked her up. He told Logan, "I'll leave the other guy to you!""Oh," Logan responded. Then he picked Dean up like a kid and walked out the door.Jace was tired and sweaty by the time he arrived at the hotel. Sage was already soundly asleep. Jace put her to bed and took off her shoes, socks, pants, and clothes. He stripped her clean.Sage drank a lot and was reeking of alcohol.

    "Is that so?" A trace of interest flashed in Jace's eyes.Sage did not understand, so she asked, "What does a small forward do?"Jace explained, "The small forwards are typically the tallest and most athletic of all players. They are responsible for scoring points and defending. The main goal of strong shooters is to score and create opportunities for teammates. In other cases, they would operate as off-ball specialists. They would wait for teammates to pass the ball, catch the ball, and shoot to score."Seeing Sage's confused look, Jace added, "James and Durant, for example, are playing as small forwards.""Oh!" Sage immediately understood after hearing the name of these famous basketball stars. Her eyes lit up. "Isn't that amazing?"Jace saw the sparkle in her eyes and found her really adorable.

    Jace muffled his laughs and relaxed in the night light. He said, "I have to work harder, or someone will call me old.""Hey." Sage knew he would get back at her.She rolled over and lay on top of Jace. She played with his chest and said in a muffled voice, "I have a new nickname for you."Jace responded, "Hm?"Sage looked up at him. "Vengeance."Jace was stunned and soon broke into a peal of laughter. Sage leaned on him and felt the rise and fall of his breathing. As his chest resonated with his laughter, Sage followed along with his laughter. Both of them were laughing like fools. Sage and Jace lay flat on the bed after laughing nonstop. They opened up and improved their intimacy so much. As a result, their whole body and mind were very relaxed tonight. "Hey..." The two spoke in unison, exchanged a glance, and smiled again.Sage said, "Go ahead."Jace looked at Sage and muttered, "I'll say something, but don't get mad at it.""Just say it."
