Chapter 165


    Calvin pointed out, n, regardless of what she did afterward, the fact is that you left her there and took


    off with another woman.”


    Calvin sighed inwardly. How could Ian ever win his wife back with this kind of mindset? He was


    hopeless.


    “Mrs. Hob is a woman, Ian, and an ident happened at the banquet. I’m sure she must’ve been


    scared, even if she wasn’t physically hurt. How could you leave her behind?


    “Did you even think about how she felt? There were so many of your employees and business partners


    there too. Didn’t you think they would haveughed at her?”


    Ian’s forehead creased when he heard that. He instantly thought of the photo of Sage standing on the


    dance floor attached to that viral post.


    Her face was crestfallen, and herrge eyes were dull as she stood alone in the crowd. The post also


    imed that she was being neglected, that her marriage was just a fa?ade, and that she was actually


    getting a divorce.


    When he came across the subsequent topics about Mimosa, he assumed that it was part of Sage’s


    n. However, he hadn’t considered the fact that if it hadn’t been her doing, then she would’ve been


    subjected to ridicule and mockery

    Mulling it over, Ian couldn’t shake the sinking feeling he had when he first stumbled upon. that tweet


    that night. “If she wasn’t feeling well, why didn’t she tell me?”


    Calvin analyzed the situation and said reckon she thought telling you wouldn’t change anything.


    Moreover, Mrs. Hob is no pushover. She decided to go with the flow and make the best of the


    situation when she realized she couldn’t change public opinion. Of course, she wouldn’t bother


    comining about being wronged if she benefited from it.”


    The image of Sage’s tear–streaked face popped up in Ian’s mind. That night, she said she wasn’t upset


    and wouldn’t let herself be taken advantage of Ian couldn’t help but wonder if this was how she felt.


    “So… what should I do now?” he asked with a frown.


    Calvin was relieved to see that he had finally caught on. “Ian, I’m sure a lot of your employees were


    there that night. All of them must’ve looked down on Mrs. Hob after what you did-


    Ian cut him off. “Cut the crap and just tell me what to do to fix this.”


    Calvin pondered for a moment. “Doesn’t yourpany organize a lot of team–building events? Why


    don’t you bring Mrs. Hob along to one of them? It would show everyone that you value her and


    would help her regain some respect.”


    “Will that work?”


    “Of course! Even if it doesn’t, it would still be good to take her out for some fresh air.”


    Ian decided to give Calvin’s suggestion a shot. After all, Sage hadined in the past that he never


    took her out.


    Sage called Michael in the afternoon before leaving for the sportsplex to ask about the video.


    Michael told her he had recorded and sent a few videos to the group the night before. Kai thought they


    were good, so he edited and posted one online.


    “Ms. Joyner, we didn’t expect the video to blow up like this. I hope it didn’t cause you any trouble.”


    “It’s alright,” she said. “I’m actually very pleased to receive so manypliments, and I had a st


    ying the drums yesterday.”


    “There are a lot of people asking for the full version, What do you think, Ms. Joyner? Should we post


    it?” he asked.


    Sage sighed and said, “Nah, forget it. I don’t want to be an influencer. Let’s just leave it at that.”


    “Alright.” Michael respected her decision,
