"Both Shane and Ian have warned me about Marcus. I think I can't let my guard down around him just yet," Sage confided. Tiana agreed with Sage. "Given your involvement with the Shekdotter family's business, are you considering a confrontation with Ivy?" "With all she owes me? Of course. I'm planning to settle the score," Sage declared with determination.Tiana's concern was palpable. "Ivy is cunning and ruthless. You need to be extra cautious around her." "Don't worry, I will," Sage reassured her. As their conversation continued and they dove deeper into the Shekdotter family's intricacies, Sage heard the doorbell ring. "I'll talk to you soon. I think room service is here with my fruit," she remarked. "Alright," Tiana responded. Hanging up, Sage padded barefoot to the door and opened it, expecting to find a waiter. Instead, she was met with Ian's striking figure. He had discarded his coat, revealing a meticulously tailored white shirt that highlighted his trim waist. T

"Let go of me!" Sage elbowed Ian's chest in anger. Ian groaned, but he did not let go of her. He even nestled his cheek against the back of her neck. Sage felt uncomfortable feeling his hot breath against her skin. She tried to free herself from him, but she felt something poking against her thigh. Sage was stunned when she realized what it was. Ian was hard! "You pervert!" hissed Sage. Her cheeks were flushed. "Stay still, Sage. Let me hug you for a moment." Ian's voice was husky. He hugged her tightly as if he hadn't seen her in ages. Sage blushed even more fiercely and said, "Go back to your own room if you're horny. A woman is waiting for you there!" Ian smelled her hair and said hoarsely, "I don't want another woman. You're the only one I want."Sage couldn't stop herself from snickering. "Ian, you say that you love me. But look at all that you're doing. Is that how you act when you love someone? "You merely treat me as a possession. You think I'm betraying you wh

"I'm divorced, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Morrison. Nothing is going on between us, and I posted that video myself," said Sage. She satisfied their curiosity once and for all. "To save all of us some time, just ask me anything else you want to know. Then we can all get back to work."Her colleagues were stunned by her straightforward manner, but some of them still asked her some questions.Sage answered all of them truthfully. Some things couldn't be kept under wraps forever, and Sage thought it was better to tell them the truth than to let them gossip behind her back. They would forget about everything in a few days anyway. Sage felt a lot closer to her colleagues after answering their questions. Many of them sided with her and offered words of support because they felt that she should have gotten a higher amount of alimony.Sage went back to her office after the gossip session. Shane was pretty good to her as he had allocated her a private office.After tidying it up a

Sage was sure that Terry was aware of her divorce from Ian. He was just being polite to her."It's quite a coincidence, but I hope you can call me Ms. Joyner from now on," said Sage. Terry lowered his gaze and said, "If you would please excuse me. I won't bother you two."After Terry walked away, Zachary said thoughtfully, "Would you like to have dinner elsewhere?"Sage shook her head and said, "It's okay. We'll mind our own business while they mind theirs. I can't avoid Ian forever."Zachary respected her decision and said, "Then let's sit at a table by the pond and dine with a view. Mr. Holcomb should be in a private room since he's here for a business meeting. We won't see him.""Okay."The view of the pond was spectacular. The pond was huge and the lilies that grew on the surface were very colorful. The scene looked as beautiful as a painting. When they were ordering, Zachary picked all her favorite dishes without asking her. He even ordered her favorite juice."Zack, ho

Sage glanced in her rearview mirror, but she didn't spot anything suspicious. Fortunately, she arrived at the hotel safely. She passed her keys to the valet and went up to her room. She then showered and applied a beauty mask. Just as she was about to sort out the investment plan for CureX, her phone rang. It was Henry York. Sage answered the call. "Mr. York, have you decided to cooperate with me?" Henry no longer sounded pretentious like he used to. He asked directly, "What do you want me to do?" His tech company had toppled, and bad news about them had spread continuously over the past two days. The backlash was getting more serious. Ivy must have known long ago and confronted Henry about it. They had probably had a huge fight, or Henry wouldn't have made a decision so quickly. If they were going to work together, then there was no point hiding the motive anymore.Sage said plainly, "It's very simple. Ask your mother to work as Ivy's housekeeper and report her movements
