Henry was an expert at leading people on. Instead of jumping at the opportunity right away, he responded coolly, "Why don't you send me the location, Sage? I'll check it out."
Sage smiled. "Sure."
After hanging up the phone, she sent over the name of the gym. After all, she had to get to know him better to keep track of his and Layla's progress. It would be even better if she could get him to work for her.
Henry replied almost instantly. "Thanks, Sage."
"You're welcome. By the way, I would appreciate it if you refrain from calling me by my name since you and Layla haven't made things official yet. You should address me as Ms. Joyner instead."
"I understand, Ms. Joyner. Have a nice evening!"

Meanwhile, Ivy sat on the hospital bed with a hardened expression. Her forehead and arms were wrapped in bandages.
"Whoa, this ward is pretty nice. The young man of the Holcomb family seems to be treating you well," Sandra remarked as she looked around.
Ignoring her comments, Ivy asked coldly, "What brings you here? It's late. Didn't I tell you to stay away from me?"
"Well, I heard you were injured, so I thought I'd pay you a visit to see how you were doing," Sandra explained. "How could you be so careless, Ivy? Fortunately, the lamp missed you by a hair's breadth. Otherwise, it could've caused serious damage."
Ivy's brows remained knitted. "What is it? Why did you come all the way here? Why couldn't you just tell me whatever it is over the phone?"
Sandra had no choice but to get to the point. "I'm here because of that little troublemaker of mine. He's been splurging a lot to impress that girl, showering her with gifts and taking her out on dates. He's practically burned through all his cash."
