Chapter 109


    Sage figured that he was talking about how she got drunk to help Mimosa gain exposest night. “It’s


    alright. I’m sure it’s normal for people like you from prestigious families to look down on others.”


    “Why do you sound like you’ve gone through a lot of hardships?” Shane clicked his tongue. “To be


    honest, it’s because you look too much like a vase,” he added bluntly.


    Sage was rendered speechless by his bluntness. “You sure have a very special way ofplimenting


    someone, Mr. Morrison.”


    “You deserve to beplimented.” Unfazed by Sage’s response, Shane curled his lips into a smile.


    “So… regardingst night’s drama, were you about to be abandoned by Ian, or was it just an excuse to


    call him out?”


    Sage wasn’t going to satisfy his curiosity because she knew he was just being nosy. “My apologies, but


    that’s quite personal. I’d rather not talk about it.”


    Shane didn’t seem too bothered. He leaned back in his chairzily and smirked. It looks like you’re


    serious about taking down Bolton Investment, Ms. Joyner. I’m looking forward to working with you!”


    She wondered if that meant their coboration was a done deal. Truth be told, she


    couldn’te up with 100 million dors to join Farsight Investment, and she


    told Shane this.


    Shane wasn’t the least bit surprised. “Well then, you can owe me. Just deduct it from the projects you


    negotiated and the dividends you receive.”


    “I’ll start next month,” she responded.


    Linda’s birthday was just around the corner. Besides celebrating this, Sage also had to deal with her


    own divorce and follow up on the contract she signed with

    Mimosa. Hence, it was perfect timing to start working next month.


    “Sure, I’ll be waiting.‘


    Not long after, their food arrived. Several waiters were present throughout the

    meal. They were waited on like royalty. The staff helped them debone their meats, changed their


    tes, and served them soup.


    Shane sure was a hedonist. Wherever he went, extravagance followed.


    “Mr. Morrison, have you never considered keeping a low profile?” she asked.


    “And why would I do that? What’s wrong with enjoying life to the fullest?” he


    retorted.


    Surprisingly, she found herself agreeing with Shane’s philosophy of life. Sage made a quick stop back


    at Mimosa after her meal with Shane.


    Prisci gleefully showed her the significant increase in Mimosa’s orders. “This is all thanks to you,


    Sage!”


    She hadn’t expected Sage to turn a humiliating situation into the perfect. marketing campaign in such a


    short period. She also turned Mimosa around from the brink of bankruptcy overnight.


    Sage smiled as she said, “Well, your cooperation yed a big part too, Prisci.”


    Things went smoothly because she was decisive and didn’t hesitate or have second thoughts. The girls


    celebrated their sess today with coffee instead of alcohol.


    All of a sudden, Prisci remembered something. “Benjamin took over a winery. recently and has


    invested heavily in advertising. I bet he’s trying topete with


    us.”


    Sage frowned. “Prisci, you need to watch out for him.”


    She wasn’t afraid ofpeting with him fairly. She was just afraid that Benjamin would resort to


    underhanded tactics because he was jealous of Mimosa’s sales.


    “Don’t worry. I know all of his tricks after all these years of being married to him. I won’t let him have the


    upper hand.”


    Sage’s phone buzzed as she spoke to Prisci. She pulled out her phone, unlocked it, and read the


    message. “When’s the appointment?
