Sage thew up all over the man. She had emptied the entire contents of her stomach on him.
It was a horrible scene.
Yoel was not a neat freak, but no one could possibly stand being covered in barf.
To his horror, Sage had proceeded to use his necktie as a napkin. She wiped her mouth, belched, and said, “Sorry, my bad. I should have held it in.”
She was unremorseful despite her apology.
One could see the bulging veins on Yoel’s forehead as he fixated a cold stare on Sage.
Yoel thought that the woman in front of him was breathtaking. She had a pair of plump lips and a small yet distinct face. Yoel did not think that she could possibly be the hostess of a bar, not with the elegant and sophisticated way she carried herself.
Yoel always had a soft spot for beauties. As he admired her, he released a small sigh, feeling a little less annoyed.
Luther quickly pulled Sage back into his arms and apologized to Luther, “My apologies, Sir. My sister here has had too much to drink.”
As soon as the doors of the lift opened, Luther helped Sage off the lift. He then turned to Yoel and said, “Give me your shirt, I’ll get you a new one!”
“It’s fine, leave it.”
Yoel got off the lift too. When he saw Luther guiding Sage to room 88, Yoel raised his brows in surprise. That suit was reserved for the owner of Sky Hotel. He realized the man must be Luther, the Bennet family’s seventh son.
“Well, then, who is that lady that was with him?” wondered Luther.
He was not aware that the Bennett family had a daughter.
…
At Yuriel’s mansion…
As usual, the study room was silent apart from the occasional sound of rustling paper. Jace was concentrating on his work.
The repercussions from the article were far worse than he had anticipated.
The announcement of his marriage had had a direct effect on the reception of the company’s current product. The ‘Forever and Always’ line of jewelry that had been launched by the Yuriel Jewel had received negative feedback from netizens. The company’s Public Relations Department had advised him to either delay his wedding till the attention had died down or to release another article that focused on the sincere love that he and Sienna held for each other. They had even stated that it would be good if his ex-wife could release a statement acknowledging that she was indeed the one who had come in between Sienna and him.
Jace’s brows were furrowed. He hated mixing his work and personal life which made it impossible for him to approve the release of yet another article. Jace was annoyed at the thought that the staff of the Public Relations Department treated him as some celebrity instead of a businessman.
Pen in hand, Jace signed the approval for the proposal that halted all promotional activities for the ‘Forever and Always’ line and to focus instead on the creation of a new product line.
As he went through the company stocks, his expression darkened. He called his assistant. “Have we made the final payment for the healthcare charity donation program?”
