Chapter 41

Sage picked out the meaning behind Linda's words, yet she refused to deceive herself. "Linda, you don't have to comfort me. I'm well aware of Ian's attitude."Leaving aside the fact that Ian still despised her, she couldn't allow herself to harbor illusions about him any longer, even if there were a genuine change in his feelings.She did not want to interfere with the tacit understanding and emotions between him and Ivy again in this lifetime.When she saw Sage's determined expression, Linda refrained from further persuasion. Clearly, Sage had experienced enough heartache and disappointment to make such a resolute decision.Linda only hoped that Ian would quickly realize the truth and mend Sage's heart.…In the leisure area of the private room, a group of women discussed their children."My son's birthday is approaching, and he mentioned that Gentlemen's Style's high-end clothes are good.

To avoid dampening Linda's spirits, Sage did as instructed.Before reaching the spot, she was captivated by a blooming orchid by the side. She bent down and sniffed it. The wonderful fragrance caused her features to relax instantly, and a gentle smile graced her lips.Sunlight shone on Sage's delicate face as she leaned toward the pristine orchid. Ian couldn't decide whether the flower or the woman was more beautiful. Almost instinctively, he captured the scene with his phone.After an afternoon of leisure activities, the dinner banquet finally commenced.

Besides, Ian had removed his suit jacket, and a few buttons on his shirt were undone. With his sleeves rolled up, his fair skin and well-defined arm muscles were exposed.Sage promptly stopped herself from staring. She couldn't afford to be infatuated with his attractiveness again.Shooting him a cold look, she grumbled, "What are you standing here for? You gave me a fright!"Ian wasn't angry. Instead, his tone was gentle as he replied, "Weren't you seeing Grandma off? Why did you come here? I've looked everywhere for you..."Based on his words and expression, Sage confirmed that Ian had had a bit too much to drink.His usual image was one of swift decisiveness, even in situations like this where he seemed a bit slow in reacting. Moreover, he wouldn't normally say something as silly as having looked for her everywhere.There was once in her previous life that Ian had gotten drunk as well. However, he had only slept it off upon getting home instead of making such a fuss.At the t

When Sage realized that Ian had reverted to his usual demeanor and tone, she became even more certain that he had only pretended to be drunk to fool her. Infuriated, she briskly walked ahead and left Ian behind.A faint perfume lingered as Sage's silhouette faded into the distance.Ian sent a text to Calvin. "I'm rejecting the letter of intent to collaborate with Luther Enterprise's gulf project." Then, without waiting for Calvin's response, he switched off his phone.…Concerned that Ian might be too drunk, Terry tagged along with the driver to the restaurant to pick them up. He let the driver wait before approaching the private room.Inside, Ian sat on a bench while supporting his forehead with one hand. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he looked uncomfortable.Terry was about to call out to him when Sage, holding a towel in one hand, discreetly walked over to Ian from the dining table. Her other hand was hidden beneath the towel.Terry wisely kept silent. He watched

"Stop laughing!" Furious and mortified, Ian viciously grabbed Sage's wrist.Sage winced as he held her hand tightly. Seeing the fierce glint in Ian's eyes, she knew he was genuinely angry, and she should stop laughing.However, when she thought of the incredulous faces back in the private room and how speechless everyone was, Sage guffawed louder instead. She even had to bend over to hold her belly.When Terry saw Sage's reaction, he was anxious about her recklessness. He was sweating. To avoid getting dragged into it, he prudently raised the partition.Ian watched Sage laugh uncontrollably despite his threat. Her eyes were curved into crescents while tears flowed out of them.On her flushed face, there was no trace of resentment, indifference, hysteria, or disdain. Only a carefree and radiant smile adorned her features.He was still gripping her delicate wrist, and her fragrance enveloped his senses.Strangely, Ian felt the anger within him dissipate. Instead, a mix of thirst a

Ian was unwilling to let her go yet. "Beg me properly one more time."Sage was both frustrated and confused. She was wondering why she hadn't noticed so many annoying traits in Ian before. What sort of weird hobby was this?Just then, Sage's phone stopped ringing.Ian was about to pull her even closer. He said, "Perfect. Now, you don't have to—"At the same time, Sage was ready to use violence when the partition suddenly lowered.Terry kept his eyes down as he informed in a business-like tone, "Mr. Holcomb, Ms. Shekdotter says her calls aren't getting through to you. She needs to speak with you."Ian furrowed his brows slightly and took Terry's phone.Annoyed, Sage pushed Ian away and sat back in her seat. She grabbed her own phone. It turned out that she had missed Ivy's phone call as well.Ivy seemed to be well aware of Ian's whereabouts, considering that she had looked for Sage directly."What's the matter?" Ian loosened his collar and asked in a husky voice."What's with

It was a message from Delilah.Sage hadn't contacted Delilah since she went to Ivy's place. She had blocked Delilah's messages on WhatsApp as well.Now that Delilah had sent her a photo on Telegram, it was probably not good news. Sage immediately deleted the message and blocked her number."Please, you must accept it," Michael sent another message after the money transfer.To maintain his dignity, Sage decided to accept the payment.Michael then asked, "Are you very busy? I haven't seen you at the sports complex."For the past few days, Sage had been occupied with drafting the investment plan. Thus, she didn't have the time to attend the lessons she had applied for. She replied, "I'm busy with work matters."Following that, Michael sent her a bunch of encouraging cute gifs. Sage found them amusing, so she saved a few.She then checked Michael's social media feed and found that his life was rich and full of positivity. Apart from part-time work updates, there were posts about mu

Sage responded, "Okay, send me the address."The location Shane provided turned out to be a bar. It seemed like private clubs or bars were his regular hangouts.If Sage hadn't known from her past life that he had a business mindset and performed reasonably well, she might have thought of him as an idle playboy.Sage drove to the bar and located Shane in a secluded corner on the second floor.The bar played soft music, and with no one else on the second floor, the noise was well-contained in the soundproofed booth. It created an unexpectedly tranquil atmosphere.Shane was lounging with his legs propped on the coffee table. He retained his usual carefree demeanor. However, this time he was without the company of beautiful women. Instead, he was engrossed in a phone call.On the table were beverages and snacks. Sage decided not to disturb him and settled on the couch. She casually picked up a piece of apple and popped it into her mouth."Alright, that's settled. Let me know as soon

"Even if there are risks, one must seek fortune amidst danger. In our line of work, aren't some risks worth taking?"Seeing Shane's nonchalant smirk, Sage chuckled. "So, you never considered seeking my opinion."Shane adjusted himself into a more comfortable position and said, "Ms. Joyner, you've got it wrong. I informed you of the outcome. I'm showing considerable respect, I'd say."Sage observed Shane's relaxed and playful expression. She knew that the matter was already decided.Since she proposed the partnership, Shane seemed more interested in her actions than the collaboration itself.Now that he could secure Mimosa on his own, her presence was even less meaningful."Well then, let's just pretend my proposal never existed," Sage said."I thought, despite being a businessman, you wouldn't blindly blur the lines between right and wrong just for money. But turns out, you're just as immoral. In that case, we don't need to work together!"With that, Sage stood up to leave.Ho

Shane's laughter was cold and malicious. "You had the guts to mess with me. I'll teach you a lesson, even if it means breaking the law!"When she saw Shane's fearless attitude and the approaching bodyguard, Sage felt a tinge of regret. She had been too presumptuous. She had thought that her knowledge from her past life could be leveraged to negotiate with Shane.She never considered investigating what kind of person he was.Now, with him turning hostile, she wouldn't be able to escape if he decided to tie her up.With Ian's apparent dislike toward her, she doubted he would intervene. Even if he did, she didn't want to owe him any favors."Hide if you can. Let's see where you can escape to!" Shane stalked toward her. His voice was menacing.The second floor seemed to have been cleared by Shane, and there was no one around to help. Sage's scream for help was rendered useless.Sage contemplated whether it would be more effective to smash a wine bottle and threaten to hurt herself o
