Yoel inhaled sharply as he felt his skin crawl. He forcefully stood in between Jace and Sage as he sulked, "Drop the lovey-dovey exchange, please show some mercy and consideration to a single man like me. "Sage and Jace ignored him and strode into the restaurant."Urgh! Can you please watch it? Your umbrella is pulling onto my hair!"Someone from the queue shouted, "It's not even sunny and there's shade right above you, why are you even holding up an umbrella?""It's my umbrella and I am allowed to use it when I like, what is it with you?"The girl had a soft voice but she sounded bossy, "My skin is precious and I can't get even a tiny bit of sunlight on them. Do you even know what a UV ray is? Oh, wait, I don't think you do. After all, you look all dark-skinned and ugly, it's obvious that you don't take care of yourself. It's your choice to want to be tanned, but I have to stay fair because that's what my husband likes.""Who are you calling dark-skinned and ugly? If you're tha
Sienna was shocked to the core. It was as if she was struck by lightning.She attended Jace's funeral. How was he possibly still alive?He stood right in front of her.She knew Jace's face like the back of her hand. It was impossible that she would mistake him for someone else. It was just simply impossible.It was him! It was him!"Jace..."Sienna called out to Jace and was about to make her way to where he stood but she was stopped in her tracks by the young lady that was still feeling pissed."Where do you think you're going? Don't even think of leaving here before this thing is settled between us!" Ladies from Salem City were notorious for their hot temper.Sienna still had her gaze glued on Jace but Jace did not even look at her.Jace had his eyes fixated on Sage. It was as if he could only see Sage and no one else."Sage," Jace called out to her softly, "Is everything okay?"Sage looked at him. "Yeah. You guys should head in first."Jace listened well to her and heade
"What a time to be alive now, don't you think? Look at all these people trying to show off. Does she have no shame at all?""..."Sienna overheard the gossiping and whispers. Anger spread through her as she quivered in rage. Sienne shot a deadly glare at Sage."Are you happy now? You're done humiliating me, aren't you? Can we go in and eat now?"For some reason, Sage felt slightly bad for her.Sage simply frowned and looked at her with a 'Hello, are you nuts?' expression at Sienna.Dave was flustered and immediately scowled at Sienna. "Are you out of your mind? How dare you speak to Miss Sage in that manner?"He then quickly put on a slick wide grin and said to Sage, "Miss Sage, please don't take it to heart about what she said. She's not good with words. I'll make sure to teach her a lesson.""Mister Dave, you don't have to ask my opinion on your family business."Sage went on flatly, "We're all business colleagues, aren't we? I'd be happy to welcome you as my guest but I am
The small episode seemingly did not affect their mood to eat.Well, at least, not for Yoel.After rounds of begging and pleading, Sage finally agreed to cook several dishes for them. And every bite of the food that Yoel took, he exclaimed and praised Sage's cooking.He took some pasta onto his plate and started slurping away. "Man, every time I eat your dishes, I have the urge to make you my wife."Jace replied flatly, "Sad to bring it to you but it'll never happen."He then put some pasta onto Sage's plate before Yoel cleared up the entire dish."You can't be too sure now, can you? As long as you guys are not official yet, I'll still have a winning chance."Yoel was full of confidence. He looked at Sage and arched his brow, "They say men in their thirties are like a precious flower, what do you think of me?""No comment."Sage then added, "I think you're more like a dog tail grass than a flower.""..."Yoel's face crumbled instantly.However, Jace burst into laughter as he
Sage was used to signing contract documents and she never experienced signing an autograph. Some of her fans even requested for her to draw hearts and write some wishes and Sage made sure that she fulfilled all of their requests.With a few strokes, Sage drew a few roses and they looked amazing.Her fans were all excited."Goodness, you have really pretty hands!""You look so much prettier than when you're on screen, you're stunning!""Not only do we like your character in the movie, but we also think that you're really pretty! Will you be starring in more movies? I've rewatched The Double Life of Veronique three times now. I like you a lot!"The female fans showered Sage with praises and compliments and they only had eyes for Sage. Neither of them noticed the two good-looking men that were in the same room as them.Yoel and Jace were pushed to a corner of the room and they were even asked to help take pictures for them.The two grown men were speechless."Hey handsome, would
Dave had offended Sage and was not even given a chance to eat. He was furious because of the humiliation he faced in front of the client.He sat in the car with a grim face on the way back. He was so angry that Sienna was scared and dared not even breathe. Sienna knew she was in trouble. She would have been leaning on him and coaxing him softly on any other day, but she was very distracted.She had been in a daze since she saw Jace and Sage earlier. The image of Jace and Sage filled her mind, making her feel uncomfortable.It was unpleasant.Dave sat in the passenger seat and ordered his driver in a deep, muffled voice, "Lynch, stop the car and go for a smoke." The car stopped by the side of the road. Sienna looked out the window and did not know where she was. When she saw a familiar-looking bush, she vaguely knew it was near the apartment.Ten minutes to the east from here was a middle-to-high-end community. It was also the place where Dave used to hide his mistress.Well,
Offending Sage was never a good idea. His reputation in Salem City and his jewelry business might be affected. He must not let this destroy his hard-earned success.It was hard to divide the assets, so his wife had not divorced him yet. He might become poor and lose his home after the divorce.He moved slightly harder and pulled Sienna's hair so hard that her scalp hurt. Sienna opened her mouth and gasped. She thought he would make other moves on her, but he suddenly stopped. His angry face disappeared.Even so, he still had a stern face. "Answer me honestly. What's your problem with Sage? Who is Jace?" Half of Sienna's face was still red and swollen. Even the corner of her mouth cracked, looking quite pitiful.Dave looked at her pitiful appearance, but he did not feel soft-hearted for her.Sienna read Dave's emotion and did not dare to tell him the whole story. She only said that Sage's ex-husband used to like her and that they were love rivals. "Ex-husband?" The answer sur
Sage received a call from Primrose in the afternoon. She wanted to visit the horse farm in the northern suburbs. "What a coincidence." Sage looked up at Yoel and said, "We just brought in a batch of horses from Riverside City. Someone even reserved two as a gift to you." Yoel immediately became alert. "Is that your parents?"He casually leaned over and shouted to the phone, "Hello, this is Yoel! I'm Sage's best friend!"Sage's ear hurt from his loud voice. She gave him a disgusted look. "Who's your best friend?"Primrose's sweet voice came from the other side. "Hello, I know you. You're Brother Rich, that guy who made our precious Melody sad, right?"Yoel was speechless in embarrassment. He suddenly looked up at Sage and Jace and mouthed in silence, "Who told her that?!"Sage and Jace shrugged at the same time. It was not them."Aunt Primrose, don't listen to them. I'm a good boy and innocent man." Yoel tried to clear his name.Sage and Jace both grimaced. How was he an inno
