Chapter 46


    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. Hob, 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 cor and asked in a husky voice.


    “What’s with your voice? Are you drunk?”

    Ignoring her concern, Ian asked again, “What did you want to talk about?”


    Ivy said, “Can youe over now? Let’s talk in person. Or I cane to you. It’s quite urgent, and I


    can’t exin it over the phone.”


    Ian nced at Sage, who had now resumed a cold and distant demeanor. “I’ll


    ”


    After he hung up, Sage said impatiently, “Pull over. I’ll take a taxi home.”


    Ian, however, grabbed her hand. His breath still smelled like alcohol as he uttered, “Let the driver send


    you home. Terry and I will take a taxi.”

    Sage frowned and shook off his hand. Ian’s gaze darkened, but eventually, he ordered the driver to pull


    over.


    Once Ian and Terry got out of the car, Sage sent a message to Shane. She informed him about seeing


    Benjamin at the restaurant and requested him to investigate Benjamin’s private life thoroughly.


    Considering he was the manager of Mimosa, any personal issues could affect the uing initial


    public offering.


    Shane was rather cooperative on matters rted to the investment, and he


    replied with an affirmative emoji.


    Back at Sris Estate, Sage vigorously wiped her lips with a towel.


    Ian, the lunatic, had gone crazy after drinking too much!


    In her previous life, he would simplye home and doze off after getting drunk. He had even been


    completely unaware of her sneaking up next to him, where she secretly listened to his heartbeat.


    Was it that Ian’s level of intoxication was different this time, or had he already slept with Ivyst time to


    get it out of his system?


    Sage felt nauseous at the thought of him going to Ivy’s ce after eating the corn chowder the other


    day and possibly kissing her with the same mouth that had touched Ivy’s. She wiped her lips even


    more vigorously.


    After rinsing her mouth several times and taking a bath, Sage began to feel a bit better. Shey on the


    bed and was about to sleep when she noticed an unread message on WhatsApp and a notification


    from Venmo.


    Opening it, she found she had received five thousand dors. On WhatsApp, someone with an


    unfamiliar profile picture had sent her a message. “Miss, I got my sry. I’ve paid back five thousand


    dors first.”


    Sage realized that the sender was Michael, whom she had added to her contacts previously but didn’t


    get a chance to talk to.


    She replied, “No rush. Pay me back when you have the money.”


    “ept it. It puts my mind at ease,” Michael insisted.
