A Relentless Pursuit for Love -
Chapter 491
Chapter 491 Jace frequently drove Sage around and somewhat became her driver. However, heenjoyed it.
The two did not speak to each other, so it was very quiet in the car. Jace got a few big boxes out ofnowhere and piled all of them on the back seat. Sage had to sit in the front passenger seat becausethere was nowhere else to sit. She understood his trick, but she simply ignored it and played on herphone instead. A sudden cough broke the long silence. Jace asked, “What do you think of theproject?” He was trying to start a conversation. Sage curved her finger and continued tapping onthe screen. While she replied to Hunter's several text messages, she answered Jace dully, “It's notbad. You will profit in both reputation and money, killing two birds with one stone. Mister Jace, youmade a good move.” Her comment was pertinent and neutral, but it sounded rather perfunctoryand polite. Jace then asked, “How do you know that Mister Norah signed this contract for you?”Sage frowned, looking at the message from Hunter. Jace's question was nosy and made her morefrustrated. She said coldly, “Do you even have to ask? Isn't that obvious? If it's not for me, is it foryou?”. Her earlier feedback was considered polite, but her second reply was plain rude. Sage had nointention to continue chatting with Jace. Instead, she dialed Hunter's number and yelled at him assoon as the call connected. “You made Leah angry. Why aren’t you talking to her immediately?Instead, you're texting me
“You don’t know why she’s angry? Is your brain even working? Don't you know when to ask? Areyou a pig? Ask her why!” Jace's hand on the steering wheel trembled. Sage was not done scoldingHunter. Her face turned appallingly icy. The air around her was so cold that she could freeze the car.Then, Sage sneered, “Don’t you know already? Why are you pretending in front of me? Men are allthe same. You used your EQ to play the fool. You haven't even earned enough to marry, and you arelosing her. Amazing.” Jace remained silent. For some reason, he felt like she was implying somethingto him. Sage was angry at first, then her face suddenly sank. She said coldly, “As for the JeffersonGroup, just do whatever you can. Otherwise, get someone else to replace you! Don't use your workas an excuse! Are you so busy that you can't talk to your girlfriend? Weren't you racing against timeand very hard working when you were pursuing her? Now, you're saying that you have no time tospare? That only shows that you're not capable enough!”
Finally, she left with a warning. “Hunter, listen. You're not the only one that can be Leah's boyfriend.If you can't make her happy, you better leave! When I return, I'll get Leah a better and moreobedient boyfriend!” At last, she hung up the call. However, her anger did not fade. Jace drovesteadily. After a short moment, he asked, “Is Hunter dating your sister?” “He's almost out of thegame.”
Sage said with a cold face, “What's the point of keeping a man that constantly makes a womanangry? There's no reason to keep them, so it's better to discard them as soon as possible.” Jacenodded, “You're right. How about I introduce Zayne to your sister?” The sudden proposal startledSage. She turned her head slowly and looked at Jace. Thinking of Zayne's face, Sage frowned andasked, “Are you crazy?” Jace was confused. “My assistant Hunter may be terrible and foolish, buthe’s more handsome than your assistant, Zayne, okay? What are you thinking? Jace pressed his lipsand fell silent. He dared not to make a squeak.
Assistant Zayne was temporarily calling the shots since his boss was away. He sat in Jace's officechair, approving the documents like a king. Just as he arrogantly thought he was the highest inranking, he made a loud sneeze. “Ah Choo!" Zayne rubbed his nose and muttered, “Someone mustbe talking about me behind my back...”
