Sullivan wore a stern face and said, "Miss Sage, we have rules and regulations in the Yuriel Group. We're running a serious business, not a private torture chamber for you and the Norah Group. Is it really okay for you to treat Mister Kirk this way?"

Sage's smile disappeared in an instant. "So what's appropriate and what's not? He just hit me earlier, but none of you stopped him. Since no one cares, I had to do it myself."

She pointed to her forehead. "I'm just a woman. I won't be able to marry if he hurts my face. If that happens, will anyone of you help with my living state?"

Everyone fell silent.

Sage suddenly acted like a lady. Her innocent and harmless look coupled with the bruise on her forehead immediately made the crowd speechless.

They seemed to finally realize that the dominant Miss Sage was just a young girl in her mid-twenties! Meanwhile, men like them had grouped up just to bully a little girl like her!

Seeing that this trick worked, Sage curled her lips cunningly.

After a short moment, she turned back slowly to meet a pair of dark and deep eyes.His eyes were long and narrow. His eyelashes looked a little wet, but his eyes were red and bloodshot. It was obvious that he had not slept well last night.Jace looked at Sage and checked for any bruises. When he saw the red mark on her forehead, he furrowed his brow. His gaze turned sharp and cold.He walked to her and leaned over to touch her forehead with concern."Does it hurt?" His fingertips were cool. His touch felt like ice and made the red and swollen a

    Sage was rendered speechless. She looked up coldly. What was he implying?"Mister Hale," Jace faintly called his name and said in a hoarse voice, "You just spoke with so much power. Are you talking about yourself?"Mister Hale froze. His smile stiffened on his face. "What are…"Jace withdrew his hand from Hale's sticky palm and stretched his hand to Henry.

    Jace had a bad fever. He was supposed to be resting at home. However, he rushed to the company as soon as Zachary told about the troubles Sage faced at the company.

    Jace did not even wake up from all the noise. He slept and finally woke up in the evening.When he opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful figure beside the bed."You're awake?"Sage had just tied up her long hair with a hairpin. When she saw Jace open his eyes, she stood up and hurriedly asked, "Do you want some water?"Jace fixed his eyes on her for a moment. His eyes dazzled when he saw the hairpin he had given her on her hair."Beautiful." He moved his lips, and his dry throat made his voice sound hoarse."I'm always beautiful," Sage answered proudly. Sage was not humble at all. Then, she inserted the straw into the glass of water and handed it to Jace.Jace gulped the water and drank from the glass in Sage's hand. As his throat moistened, he turned his face to Sage. Sage's heart throbbed slightly at the sight of him drinking. She could not help but gulp."There’s only a sip left. I can’t drink the rest." Jace pursed his lips. He wanted more water.Sage looked at the remaini

When he tried to talk, there was no sound coming out despite his mouth being opened.When Sage saw how excited Jace was, her tears filled up her eyes and her nose felt itchy. "Slow down. Take your time to say it. There's no need to rush." She knew when a person was in extreme excitement, he would experience some stress responses that could fail to speak.Jace took a second to calm down to search for his voice. During then, he focused solely on her. His black pupils sparkled just like the stars in the night sky as they shadowed over her.

    Sage retracted her vision back while feeling speechless.Jace gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you very much." Then he threw the flower to the side with disgust."You're welcome. We're brothers, our relationship is hard as steel." Yoel was very pleased with himself. He drank the soup and felt proud, "Hey, can we change the venue next time? I have to give it to you. We've been meeting either in the hospital or on the way to the hospital. I heard you had a high fever that was almost 104 degrees Fahrenheit. We could've used you as a BBQ grill."He crackled, "People normally splurge money to coax their wife, but you use your body as leverage to coax. Hehehe…"Jace glared at him, "Shut up and drink your soup!""That's right. Stop bickering!" Sage adhered."Forget about him. He never has anything good coming from his mouth."

    After seeing the news, Yoel called Jace to scold him. "Are you out of your mind? You don't want either the shares or be the CEO? Aren't you Sage's little assistant when you prefer to be the executive CEO?"Jace replied remotely, "I want to be her assistant, but Zayne stopped me. He said I stole his job away from him."Yoel was out of words."Sage has too many assistants now. Even Henry and Zachary are her assistant." Jace said seriously, "I was too late to get in the line.

    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.

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 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.
