A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38

The phone was on speaker, and soon Sage heard Linda’s saddened voice on the other end. “Sage, are you not willing to accompany me just because you’re upset with Ian?”

Sage had never heard Linda speak in such a tone, so she quickly replied, “I’m willing to accompany you, Grandma.”

“Then it’s settled. I’ll have the driver pick you both up tomorrow!”

Before Sage could say anything else, Linda had already ended the call. Her tone sounded noticeably lighter.

Sage felt helpless.

The next afternoon, Sage received a call from the driver when it was time to

depart. Upon reaching the car and opening the door, she was surprised to find Ian already sitting in the backseat.

He was wearing a black suit. He exuded an air of cold sophistication as he focused

on his laptop. He looked every bit like a successful figure on the cover of a financial magazine.

When he heard the door open, Ian glanced at her nonchalantly before returning his attention to the laptop.

Sage cursed him in her heart. She was annoyed that he insisted on having Linda’s driver pick him up when he had his own personal driver.

Not wanting to sit with him, Sage decided to close the door and head to the front

passenger seat.

“Don’t be difficult. Grandma is still waiting,” Ian spoke up upon sensing her intentions.

Sage frowned. Wasn’t he looking at the laptop? How did he know what she was thinking?

Then, she noticed the driver staring at her and realized her actions were a bit childish. She pursed her lips and reluctantly got into the backseat.

During the journey, Sage was occupied with her phone. She did not speak to lan. He, too, remained absorbed in his work in silence.

After a while, the driver suddenly slammed the brakes, which caused Sage to lurch forward. She almost hit her head on the front seat.

“Be careful.” lan reached out to pull her back, and she ended up falling into his

lan snapped, “I might not know about your other qualities, but your sharp tongue is truly unmatched!”

“I’ll take that as a compliment. Thank you!”

At a loss for words, Ian didn’t argue further. He picked up his laptop and casually remarked, “Your proposal has been submitted to Bolton Investment. After

several rounds of screening by the higher–ups, they’ve decided to use it.”

+15 BONUS

Sage didn’t expect lan to take her investment plan to Bolton Investment. “Didn’t you understand what I said yesterday? I have no interest in joining Bolton Investment. Also, you can’t use my proposal without my consent!”

Ian, still focused on the laptop, calmly stated, “You’ll get one million dollars as a bonus.”

Immediately, Sage was stunned.

She intended to use the 100 million dollars from her grandfather to collaborate with Shane. Meanwhile, she had maxed out Ian’s black card previously.

Thus, with limited cash on hand, this additional amount would make a significant difference.
