As soon as he had reached Nadeem City, Jace had been bombarded with texts from Yoel. He was puzzled as he went through the texts back in his office.

'What does Sage have to do with Chef Myles Damian and the Damian family?'

He certainly was aware that Sage knew how to cook.

Back when he was bedridden, she had cooked for him, but he did not have the capacity to enjoy food. He even remembered knocking over a tray of food that she had prepared for him.

Later when he was discharged from the hospital, Sage had also cooked for him several times.

However, most of the time he had never eaten her food either because he had eaten before coming home, or he could not be bothered to even try it. He had often just glanced at it as it sat on his desk.

Thinking about it, Jace realized that Sage had treated him really well, but he had taken her for granted.

Reaching for the rose seal that Sage had gifted him, Jace traced his fingers wistfully over the name that was engraved on it.

    Sage shot a cold glance at the crowd, and everyone immediately stopped talking. The still silence in the office was sliced by Sage's stern order, "Get back to work.""Yes, ma'am!"…Sage attended a meeting in the afternoon to discuss the ambassadors for the jewelry project.Allan, the director of artist relations at Norah Entertainment, had prepared a presentation on the list of shortlisted artists. Sage went through the artists' pictures while listening to the presentation. All the artists on the list were good-looking. They looked even better than the internet influencers she had met at the charity event. In the middle of the meeting, Luther called Sage."I'm still in a meeting. Talk to you in a bit."Just when she was about to hang up, Luther said in a rush, "It's nothing serious. Don't let those shameless b*tches get to you, leave them to me! I'll make sure they'll be sorry."Luther ended the call after rambling on furiously.Sage was left feeling puzzled.Hunter had g

    Although Sage thought that she looked graceful, people had thought otherwise.[She must be the only one who thinks that she is a princess. A respectable and well-mannered lady would not humiliate others in the public. Those girls were only gossiping. Did she really have to pour red wine on them?][How dare she pour red wine on my idol? She's gone way too far! Urgh, I really wish I could slap her in the face myself!][Just look at that pretentious attitude of hers. I mean, I can't tell from her back, but she must look hideous. If you have an ugly heart, you're ugly.][Can someone tell me who is the eldest daughter of the Norah family? Isn't Braxton Norah the chairman of Norah Group? From what I gathered, he has a daughter, named Yeva Norah, and she doesn't look like the person in the video.][You're right. I've met Yeva once at a party, and I remember her being gentle and especially well-mannered. She's completely different from the person in the video.][If you guys take a closer

    Without even taking a break, Jace had gathered the upper management for a meeting as soon as he returned to Nadeem City.With lunch in his hands, Zayne came up to Jace with a piece of news."Sir, ma'am is being cyberbullied."Looking through the social media, Jace frowned.Zayne reported to Jace what he knew about the incident. Studying Jace's expression, he added, "This is clearly a concerted act of violence. I've had people look into it and found out that Brody Liam from Starship Entertainment had paid people to leave negative comments. He wanted to help one of the girls who he had a relationship with… Aside from this, I think he wanted to use this chance to take down Norah Entertainment, as the two companies have always been rivals.""Brody Liam." In a deep voice, Jace added, "He's been doing quite a lot in the recent years."Zayne tried to read between the lines of Jace's remarks. Testing the waters, Zayne added, "Starship Entertainment has been doing well recently, and we ar

    The online confrontation had started off intensely and died down eventually.Those who were enjoying the "show" had their fun taken away from them.In the evening, Starship Entertainment released an official statement: [As Minnie and several other artists have violated the terms of their contract by making groundless accusations, Starship Entertainment has decided to dismiss them. This incident has damaged the reputation of the company, and for that, the company has decided to end terminate their contracts.]Minnie and the rest of the artists involved had deleted their posts and had issued an official apology to Sage. This time around, they had sounded truly sincere and apologetic. Their actions stood in sharp contrast to their earlier actions. The drastic plot twist had once again sparked another discussion online.The media had initially assumed that it was an ugly battle between Starship Entertainment and Norah Entertainment, and they were considering whose side to take when S

    "One more thing!"Luther cleared his throat. "But I'm not sure if I should tell you about this."Sage frowned. "Cut the nonsense and spit it out.""I heard that Yuriel Group had been working with Starship Entertainment on advertisement projects, and Yuriel Group had been sponsoring several of their movies and dramas. They have been partners for quite some time, but the Yuriel Group had released an official statement earlier this afternoon stating that they had terminated their partnership with Starship Entertainment. Lionel Liam, the chairman of Starship Entertainment, and Brody had booked a flight to Nadeem City. I think Jace made that decision because of you.""It's impossible."Sage retorted immediately, "You've underestimated Jace. He is not the type to mix personal matters with work, and you've overestimated my importance to him. Perhaps there was some disagreement." "But this can't be a coincidence. Earlier today, Starship Entertainment provoked you, and then almost immedi

    As soon as Brody had completed his sentence, his father slapped him across the face. The slap was so hard that Brody almost fell over.Lionel bellowed furiously, "You bastard, how dare you run your mouth like that?"Jace, on the other hand, sat on the sofa and watched them silently. He had yet to utter a single word, and it had been a show featuring Lionel and Brody. After being slapped on the face, Brody heeded the warning from his father and sat down quietly.Compared to the wild and frivolous Brody, his father, Lionel, better knew how to navigate social situations. "I'm so sorry about that, Mr. Yuriel. I've pampered my son too much. All he knows are the relationships between men and women."Lionel smiled politely. "We as men should still prioritize work. Relationships are nice to have, but one should not let these petty relationship issues affect us, don't you agree?"Jace lifted his head and glazed at him. "Are you referring to me?"The smile froze on Lionel's face.On

She had not been able to find the time to work on her carving skills since then.Under the faint yellow desk light, Sage started carving a gold piece.Even the gold shavings were worth thousands of dollars, but Sage did not think it was a waste to carve gold.

    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.

    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

    "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.

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.
