Chapter 217


    Ian looked up at Calvin, who had already changed into swimming trunks and was now wearing


    sunsses. He strutted around like a peacock unting its feathers, drawing the admiring nces of


    many girls.


    “Are you done? If so, you’re free to go,” Ian said, dismissing him.


    Unabashed, Calvin said, “Since I’vee all this way, and it’s still early, it’d be a shame if I didn’t soak


    in this 5–star natural hot spring.”


    “Where’s Mrs. Hob, Ian?” Calvin was unfazed by his attitude. He snickered. “I heard you guys


    were recently seen canoodling in public. Is that true?”


    The thought of Sage’s supple body and the way her cheeks flushed while she was pressed against him


    reignitedn’s desire. He crossed his long legs and said, “That’s none of your business.”


    “You’re so heartless, Ian. How could you prioritize hoes over bros?” Calvinmented, “I was the one


    who convinced Ms. Ford to bring Mrs. Hob here. Yet, you’re not even willing to share such a


    joyous moment with me!”


    “Shut up,” Ian snapped, annoyed. He looked ahead and noticed Sage and Tiana getting out of the pool


    and heading for the dining area. He couldn’t help but stare at Sage as she walked away Her hair was


    slightly damp, her curves were entuated, and her fair skin was glowing under the sunlight. Sage


    looked like a mermaid who had just emerged from the sea.


    Ian had never found Sage particrly attractive in the past. Why did he suddenly think she looked so


    much better now? He even felt uneasy when other men’s gazes lingered on her.


    Calvin followed Ian’s gaze and spotted Sage and Tiana. The girls were both wrapped in towels and


    laughing so hard that their eyes crinkled. “Aren’t you hungry, Ian? Don’t you want to grab something to


    eat?” he asked pointedly.


    Ian looked up at him. “Are you hungry?”


    Calvin was aware that Ian just couldn’t bring himself to admit that he wanted to be near Sage, so he


    nodded. “I’m starving. Would you mind grabbing a bite with me?”


    Ian begrudgingly rose to his feet. “Let’s go.”


    Calvin trotted over to Tiana and Sage and took off his sunsses with a flourish. “Hey,dies!” “What


    are you doing here, Calvin? I thought you said you were busy today,” Tiana greeted


    him.


    Calvin felt a little dejected. After all, he was a handsome guy with a killer body. He wondered why Tiana


    was able to greet him sofortably.


    Sage, on the other hand, blushed and turned away when she noticed Ian. That was the kind of

    reaction one would expect from a girl when she ran into a handsome guy.


    Sage couldn’t bring herself to lookn in the eye. He was wearing nothing but a pair of swimming


    trunks and had a towel draped over his shoulders. He had broad shoulders and narrow hips. His


    muscles were toned but not overly so.


    Even though she had seen him shirtless before, the dim bedroom lighting made it difficult for her to get


    a good look at him. Sage couldn’t bring herself to look at him… especially his long, powerful legs and


    the impressive bulge beneath his swimming trunks.


    “Join us, Mr. Hob!” Tiana said casually.


    Even though Calvin was a little hurt, his senses were still keen. “Ms. Ford, the grilled seafood over


    there looks amazing. Let’s get some!”


    Tiana got his drift. “Sure. Sage, you should get some snacks over here with Mr. Hob.”


    Sage hurriedly said, “I’ll go with you guys!”


    “No, it’s alright. We’ve got this.” With that, Tiana and Calvin walked off, chatting away. Sage was at a


    loss for words.


    Sure enough, she raised her head and red at him. “Do you not have hands? Why should I help


    you?”


    Ian was unfazed. He walked over to her and took her te. “Let me help you, then.”


    There were a lot of Hob Corporation’s employees in the dining area. Even though they greeted the


    bickering couple respectfully, they kept sneaking nces at them.


    Sage could feel their gazes on them. She assumed he was doing it on purpose. He clearly knew that


    there were a lot of his employees around, and that was why he approached her and acted all


    chivalrously.


    Sage pushed him away. “I don’t need your help. I can manage on my own.” Before she could withdraw


    her hand, she heard him let out a muffled groan, and she saw his forehead crease.
