A Farewell After Being Reborn

Shane was a pain to deal with, and Sage didn't want to waste her breath on him. Hence, she cut to the chase and asked, "Fine. When are you free?" C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Shane responded, "How about tomorrow? I'll give you two days to deal with the contract and work."

"You're not going to embarrass me in public or set me up for something, are you?" she couldn't help but ask she noticed Shane's mischievous smile.

He grinned. "Anyhow, you've agreed to it, so you'll have to jump even if there's a trap ahead."

In the afternoon, Sage swung by Collin's research institution to sign the contract. Then, she headed back to Farsight Investment to meet up with Shane.

"Alright, since we're all done, let's get celebrating!" He appeared to be in a good mood.

Sage politely turned him down. "It's alright. We'll have plenty of opportunities to celebrate in the future."

"But that's that, and this is this," he said. "I've already canceled all my plans for the day. You're coming with me, whether you like it or not."

"Are you using me to get rid of Ms. Rosethorn again?" she asked.

Shane took his car keys and said, "I'm not using you today. It's just a simple meal. You'll be starting next week, so consider this an early welcome to Farsight."

Sage decided to go to the parking lot with Shane when she noticed he wasn't up to no good. He drove while she sat in the passenger seat. The pair chatted for a while about work until Sage's phone rang, interrupting them.

Sage assumed it was lan, but it turned out to be Tiana. Sage figured that she was going to ask her about her divorce since Linda's birthday had passed. "Tiana," she said as she answered the phone.

"What's up? Why do you sound so down? Let me guess... you weren't able to get the divorce, am I right?" Tiana said confidently.

Sage was a little annoyed when she thought of that. "He left for a business trip this morning. I have no idea when he'll be back."

"Just as I expected! lan won't agree to divorce you that easily. So, what's your plan?" Tiana asked.

"I'll give him a call later and see what's up. He can't stay abroad forever," Sage said.

"In that case, does this mean it's going to drag on again?" Tiana asked.

Sage was a little surprised by Tiana's nonchalance. "I thought you'd attempt to convince me to reconsider."

"I'm not that dim you know!" Tiana

continued, "the past, I wanted you

to give yourself a chance because

you've held on for so long, and he

was beginning to have feelings for

you. But I won't try to talk you out of

it anymore.

"He claims that he and Ivy are just colleagues, but he goes nuts

whenever something happens to her. He suspected you were behind

Ivy getting injured at the party last either

time, and he didn't trust you

when Ivy had an allergic reaction to the medication. Who could put up with such a scumbag?" Tiana was

furious just thinking about it.

Sage chuckled casually. "Well then, thanks for not talking me out of it."

"Thanks, but I'm good. I don't need to vent about anything."

Sage could feel Shane's gaze on her as she bantered back and forth with Tiana. She hung up the phone after saying goodbye to Tiana. "What are you looking at? Haven't you had your fill? Or do you want to join in?" she asked.

"I'm not deaf. You guys were talking

so loudly. It was only natural for me

to listen in on your conversation." He

then arched his brow and asked,

"Are you really getting divorced from lan? Talways thought you were just threatening it."
