A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 244

"Do you think I'm referring to that?"

"What exactly are you referring to, then?"

"Sneak some classified information out of Ian Holcomb's laptop for me," Shane requested with all seriousness.

"Mr. Morrison, it's illegal to steal. I'm a model citizen, you know."

"Anyone else doing so would be committing theft. As his wife, all you're doing is getting some information from your husband." His argument rendered Sage speechless.

She was familiar with Shane's working style after collaborating with him for a while. He could not seriously be asking for any classified information. She deduced that Giselle Rosethorn was the reason he asked her for help.

After a brief moment of silence, she said, "Hasn't Ms. Rosethorn had enough? What do you want me to do?"

"You're smart," he said. "Giselle heard from someone that you're starting work at Farsight Investment next month. She wants to join you."

"So?"

"I think you need an assistant."

"No, I don't!"

"We have a deal!" With that, Shane hung up on Sage. She was dumbstruck by his rash action.

She thought, "Damn it, Shane Morrison! Why are you stirring up more trouble for me?"

He arranged for Giselle to be Sage's assistant, even though he was fully aware of Giselle's hostility toward Sage. Sage thought he was insane.

Beaming warmly at her, he suggested, "Grandpa must be chatting with Donald. If you have time, do you want me to show you around the hospital?"

"Sure."

When they returned to Thomas' room, the two old men looked delighted at their close relationship. Since Thomas needed to rest in the afternoon, Sage left the hospital with Thomas.

Over the next two days, Sage would go to the hospital with Donald in the morning. In the afternoon, she'd accompany Donald to travel and have fun in some elderly-friendly areas in Colville.

By now, her hand injury had almost healed. She had taken off the bandage. Ian had not contacted her since the night he called her at the hotel room.
