Chapter 93


    Ivy’s smiling face appeared on the screen. “What’s with the early morning call, fan?”


    Ian forwarded the photo to her. “Exin to me why this photo was taken like this.”


    Ivy wasn’t the only one who was shocked by Ian’s question. Even Sage looked slightly surprised. She


    never expectedn to question Ivy in the first ce.


    Meanwhile, Ivy was astonished to see the photo. She soon recalled what happened that day.


    “Didn’t I delete this photo on my social media feed? I have the tendency to show my cooking off


    whenever I’ve whipped up something nice. After posting that photo, I felt that it wasn’t nice enough, so I


    deleted it after a while.


    “Why did you save this photo, Ian? Is something wrong with it?”


    Ian asked, “Why did you include my shirt in your photo?”


    “Huh? Did I?” Ivy seemed to be scrutinizing the photo to verify the details. “You’re right. Did Mrs.


    Hob misunderstand our rtionship, Ian?”


    Ian answered right away, “She thought I took a shower and spent the night in your apartment.


    It was then that Ivy noticed Sage, who sat next to Ian. She quickly said apologetically, “I’m so sorry,


    Mrs. Hob. You’ve misunderstoodn.”


    After exining what happened that night, Ivy continued, “Mrs. Hob, if you still don’t trust me, I can


    always ask the property management to show you the security footage of that


    night.”


    Ian turned to look at Sage after hearing Ivy’s suggestion. At the same time, Sage picked up on the


    trace of provocation and mockery shining in Ivy’s eyes.


    She just smiled before tugging Ian’s tie downward. Then, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on


    the lips.


    Ian could feel the softness of Sage’s lips and her fragrance overwhelming his senses. His breath now


    hitched in his throat. He dipped down to reciprocate the kiss without thinking about the reason why


    Sage had kissed him in the first ce.


    Since Ian was still holding his phone, he tossed it onto the table immediately, thinking that it was


    distracting him from enjoying the kiss. He held Sage by the waist with the intention of deepening the


    kiss.


    But the moment his hands made contact with Sage’s small waist, he felt her pushing him away


    forcefully.

    “Ian, please be gentle with me!” she moaned in the direction of the phone.


    The next thing they knew, Ivy ended the video call immediately.


    A satisfied smile crept onto Sage’s face as she moved to take her seat at the table. She looked so calm


    as though she wasn’t the one seducingn just now.


    “Are you satisfied now?”n asked while suppressing his desire for Sage.


    Sage wiped her mouth with a napkin. “Feel free to exin to Ivy what happened if you’re worried she


    might misunderstand you.”


    Ian didn’t respond to that remark. If it weren’t for the fact that this was a bad time for him, he’d definitely


    kiss her without a care in the world till she begged for mercy.


    At that moment, Terry entered the dining room and remindedn that it was almost time for


    them to leave.


    Ian picked up his phone from the table while gazing at Sage. “Don’t forget to show up at the banquet on


    time.”


    Sage took a sip from her ss of milk. “Don’t worry. I won’t forget about our little date. I’ve received


    your payment, after all.”


    Only then didn walk away.


    As Sage watched Ian’s silhouette leaving her line of sight, she put down her ss and let out a deep


    sigh. The truth was, she couldn’t endure how pretentious and fake Ivy was during the video call. Hence,


    she decided to irk Ivy by kissing Ian.


    But Sage didn’t expectn to return the kiss eagerly instead of shoving her away angrily.


    Was it true that men could easily be intimate with women they didn’t have any feelings for as long as


    they were horny?

    After having lunch with Donald, Sage drove back to Sris Estate. As she grabbed the stuff she had


    bought yesterday, she walked into the living room only to see an unexpected visitor.


    Delh was there.


    She sat with one leg crossed over the other. A cup of coffee sat on the coffee table before her. She


    happened to be flipping through a fashion magazine leisurely when Sage saw her.


    “Mrs. Hob, Ms. Stromberg is adamant on waiting for your return,” Wanda said.


    “Oh, Sage! You’re finally home! You kept me waiting for a very long time!” Delh eximed while


    putting down the magazine.

    Sage dismissed Wanda before asking Delh, “What are you doing here?”


    Her displeased tone irked Delh greatly.


    “It’s been so many days, Sage! Are you done with this tantrum of yours? You do realize that I taught Ivy


    a lesson on your behalf, right? I don’t expect you to thank me, but how could you. say such things to


    me?”
