Chapter 18
Sage stopped
For a second, Sage thought that she was still drunk and was seeing things.
Jace Yuriel, what was he doing here?
Judging by the haughty look he wore, and the way he glared at her, she guessed that he must have discovered her identity and now wanted an explanation..
However, since they were divorced, she found that there was no need for her to greet him. Thus, she continued walking confidently to the exit.
“Stop right there,” a demanding voice said from the booth.
Sage pretended as if she did not hear him and continued walking.
All of a sudden, she felt a rush of wind blow past her, and then she felt someone grab her wrist. Her bodyguards immediately positioned themselves in front of her so that they could protect her. “What are you doing?” One of her bodyguards had stretched out his hand and pushed Jace’s hand away, but Jace tried to resist. The tension between them was thick, and it looked like a fight was about to break out when Sage sighed and ordered her bodyguards back. With a straight
face, she then tumed to look at Jace and said, “Sir, you’re hurting me.”
Jace’s hand was clamped tightly around her wrist. After so many years, this was the first time that he had actually physically touched her.
It was after their divorce.
What an irony this was.
Jace studied the woman’s face carefully. Her gentle and sweet expression had been replaced by a cold and distant one. She behaved as if she did not know him, and this further irritated him.”
“What trick are you trying to pull?”.
Jace released his grip around her wrist and hissed, “Who are you really?”
Sage’s assistant who was enraged by his treatment of Sage said, “How dare you speak to her in this way?”
