Sage rose to her feet and walked over to the side before answering the phone. "What''s the meaning of


    this,n Hob? Why''d you go on a business trip all of a sudden? Weren''t we supposed to get the


    divorce certificate today?"n sounded as indifferent as ever. "Something came up."


    "When are youing back?" she asked.


    He responded, "It depends. If everything goes well, I''ll be back in two weeks."


    "TWO WEEKS?" Her sudden increase in volume caused nearby customers to look over. Sage dropped


    her voice to barely more than a whisper. "Why is it taking so long? You''re not purposefully dragging out


    the divorce, are you?"


    Divorce, divorce, divorce. Ian was getting tired of that phrase. "I''ve been on a ne for over ten hours,


    Sage. I haven''t even had time to rest since Inded. Can''t you just give me a break?"


    Sage was frustrated as well. "Well, who asked you to just up and leave? I couldn''t find you anywhere.


    I''m the one who can''t catch a break!"


    "Oh, so you''re going to die just because the divorce is dyed a few more days?" His tone was harsh.


    "How''d you manage to survive for more than a year then? Besides, when can''t we get a divorce? It''s


    not as important as my work!"


    Sage was about to snap back at him when Shane interjected impatiently, "Are you done yet? The


    food''s getting cold!"


    "Okay, I''ll be there in a second," Sage responded, covering the phone. She was about to hang up when


    she heardn''s deep voice.


    "Where are you right now?"


    "What''s it to you?" she fired back.


    "That sounded like Shane. Are you out with him again?" His voice turned cold. "What are you up to,


    Sage? You''ve been spending a lot of time with himtely."


    Sage sneered inwardly when she


    heard his usatory tone. She


    intentionally provoked him. "Isn''t it


    obvious what I''m up to? Shane''s just


    as good as you, if not better, in


    terms of family background, looks,


    and physique. I''ve spent some time


    with him and found him to be a


    decent guy.

    "I''ve decided to move on and be with him. So please return as soon as possible and let''s get our


    divorce done so that we can both move on with our lives!" Sage hung up the phone beforen could


    respond. After all, that bastard was clearly dying his return deliberately!


    Sage returned to the table and found


    it loaded with dishes. Surprisingly,


    Shane hadn''t started eating yet and


    was patiently waiting for her.


    However, he didn''t sound


    el


    particrly patient as he said,


    invited you out for dinner, yet you''re


    on the phone. You''re almost busier


    than the president." Content belongs

    She remained wary of him. "Mr. Morrison, did you really ask me out for dinner?"


    "What else could it be?" he responded as he served her a bowl of soup. Sage looked around frantically,


    afraid that Giselle would appear out of nowhere.


    "What''s with that look on your face." Shane was visibly displeased. "I''m just being polite."

    "Why aren''t you picking up your phone, Mr. President?" she teased.


    His expression darkened after he


    heard the person on the other end of


    the line. "Why should I be the one


    entertaining the old man''s friends


    I''m busy right now! I don''t have time


    for that." The caller must''ve given


    him an order because Shane hung


    up the phone angrily and rose from


    his chair.
