A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 133

To be honest, everyone at Mimosa could have thought of it. But because they had all been panicking, their natural instinct to play it safe prevented them from thinking clearly.

"I have to admit that it's a rare treat to see you blush," Shane remarked.

Sage couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "Well, are you satisfied with this solution, Mr. Morrison?"

"Eh, it's alright." He rose to his feet. "Since we're done here, you're coming with me."

"Where are we going?"

"To talk outside." Shane straightened his coat and walked out of the office.

Sage said goodbye to Priscilla and followed him outside. Sage, still a little peeved about Shane's earlier behavior, said coldly, "So what's with all the secrecy? Where are we headed? Just so you know, we're not exactly friends, so don't come to me for anything unrelated to work."

"The feeling's mutual." Shane cast a disdainful glance at Sage. "I've got my eye on a new project, and I want you to take a look into it."

She hadn't officially joined Farsight Investment yet, but he was already putting her to work by dragging her along to look into a project. She rolled her eyes as she thought of how exploitative he was.

"Are you cursing at me in that pretty little head of yours?" He arched his brow. "You weren't like this when you were practically begging me for cooperation."

Sage was tongue-tied. "Will I be compensated for looking into the project?" she asked.

"Please don't be so calculative, Ms. Joyner. After all, you're the wife of Holcomb Corporation's CEO," Shane mocked.

Sage retorted, "I'm nothing compared to you, Mr. Morrison. After all, I barely nicked your car, but you demanded millions in compensation."
