Ivy’s eyes misted over when she heard his words. “Tan, I know you’re still upset about the photo I took
last time. I admit I did have an ulterior motive when I took it. You’ve always said that the noodles I
cooked taste better than anyone else’s, so I thought I’d take a picture and share it on my Twitter.
“But I noticed you’ve been keeping your distance from metely. I thought you didn’t like me posting
that picture, so I deleted it right away. I didn’t expect Sage to stumble upon it and save it. Ian, I know
her all too well, and I couldn’t care less what she thinks of me. But I don’t want you to get the wrong
impression… and I definitely do not want to lose our friendship.”

figured it was better to ask you about it.”
“Okay.” Ivy dabbed her eyes with a tissue and let out a sigh. “I’m sorry you had to see that. I’m not
usually this sentimental. I guess I’m just feeling out of sorts right now.”
“Mr. Hob!” Just then, Terry knocked on the door and walked in. He opened his mouth to say
something but stopped mid–sentence when he noticed Ivy close.

Ivy regained herposure and smiled gently. “It’s alright. Go ahead.”
Since it was rted to Bolton Investment, Terry ignored her and reported to Ian, “I just got word that
Bolton Investment ns to invest in Mimosa.”
Ian frowned as soon as he heard that. “When was this?”
“This morning. Shane Morrison went to Mimosa in person. Word has it that they’ve struck a preliminary
deal with Ms. Davis.”
Ivy was dumbstruck. Why would Shane suddenly decide to invest in Mimosa? Did something happen?”

She had been out cold all night and had woken up to a whirlwind of tests,
Injections, and medication. She was clueless as to what had transpired the night before.

She nearly screamed when she scrolled through the various trending toples about Mimosa and Sage.
Why were people glorifying the pictures of Sage getting drunk? Why weren’t theizens focusing on
her uing divorce?
All of a sudden, Ivy remembered seeing Prisci at the partyst night. Prisci was in charge of
Mimosa. Could all of this have been orchestrated by Sage?
Ian pursed his lips and said to Terry, “Let’s head back to the office.”
“I’ll go with you guys,” Ivy chimed in.
“No. You need to focus on recovering,”n said before leaving the ward with
Terry.
Ivy couldn’t stop her heart from sinking as her head spun. She felt like throwing up. How did everything

Shane brought Sage to a members–only restaurant. Even though it was just the two of them, they were
ced in a VIP dining room that could amodate. dozens more guests.
“After you, Ms. Joyner.” Shane stretched out his hand gantly.
Sage thanked him and walked in. After they ced their orders, a waiter popped a bottle of Chateau
Lafite Rothschild open and poured it for them.
Shanezily picked up his wine ss and took a whiff before taking a sip. “You know, Ms. Joyner, I
underestimated you. You’re actually very capable.”
