Chapter 40
Under the umbrella, two men stared at each other, studying each other’s expressions.
They were once good partners in the business industry, but now, they were each other’s rivals.
“You guys are not suited to be together,” Jace replied definitively.
Yoel simply shrugged and replied, “How can you be sure if you don’t try? Besides, you don’t even know her. What makes you think that we’re not suited for each other? Mind you, I was the one who informed you about her real identity.”
Yoel knew the right spots to attack Jace. Every sentence was a knife that pierced Jace’s heart.
Jace squinted and said, “She’s not the type that you could play around with.” “I know, and this is exactly why I’m going to sincerely pursue her.”
Yoel adjusted his stance and looked where Sage had been and said, “At first, I was worried that she’d still have feelings for you, but by the looks of it, I must be overthinking it. Sage seems the type who would be able to move on quickly once she has made up her mind. She’s more ruthless than most men, and that is exactly why I like her.”
He smiled as he punched Jace’s shoulder lightly. “I’ll save the congratulation for your wedding. Wait for my good news, my friend. Who knows, you might be attending my wedding soon.”
Yoel was beaming. After lighting up a cigarette, he adjusted his coat and walked into the rain. Waving to Jace, he said, “See you around, friend.”
Jace clenched his fists tightly as he watched Yoel disappear into the night.
The expression on his face was grave and solemn.
As it was raining, Sage was unable to fly the helicopter.
On the drive back to Salem City, Norah felt exhausted. She grabbed a blanket, draped it across her shoulders, and planned to get some shut-eye.
The car suddenly came to an abrupt stop and this startled Sage awake.
“Can’t you even drive properly?” seethed Hunter.
