Chapter 560

They went to a mall a short distance away from the hospital, with a Yusimite restaurant with goodreviews

They went during dinner time, and it was pretty crowded. The lighting in the restaurant was warmand atmospheric, and the order bell was of a dancing panda.

Sage asked Jim what he would like to eat.

Jim poured Sage a glass of water and said, “Go ahead and order. I'm fine with anything.” Sageordered based on an athlete's stomach and got orange chicken, sweet and sour pork, stir fryvermicelli, and a steamed fish with ginger and shallots.

She also got herself a serving of Yusimite wine.

“Are these enough?” Sage asked Jim.

Jim smiled and said, “Yes, I eat less for dinner anyway. We can order more if I'm still hungry later.”Sage returned the menu to the waiter and said, “That's all for now.”

The dishes were served promptly. Sage got a bowl of chicken soup and a big piece of drumstick forJim and said, “Have more protein. Look at how skinny you are.” “Okay, you should eat more too.”Jim's smile was bright and youthful. Eating in front of such a handsome face drastically improvedthe meal experience. The both of them eat whilst chatting with each other. “How's Dean doinglately?” Sage was pretty busy lately, so she had not had time to take care of Norah Entertainment.However, she did have a brief conversation about the company with Seth earlier.

"He's doing well. He had just finished shooting at Ark Town. He'll be heading back to shoot withDawson Studios, which is closer to Salem City. I'll be visiting him when I'm done with training.”Sage nodded and said, “I'll come along when I have time.”

“Sure.” Jim's eyes sparkled in anticipation. “When are you returning to Salem City, Sage?” “In a fewmore days, I'll definitely be back before Valentine's Day. I have some work to sort out back in thecity.”

Sage took a sip of the wine. It was smooth and easy on the throat.

Jim nodded and watched Sage, who sat under the warm light. Her lips were of a crimson shade, andher teeth snowy white. Her features were of a painting, beautiful and charming. “Sage.” Jim saidhesitantly, “Were you at the hospital today for a friend?”

Sage paused briefly and said, “Yes, he was injured, so I went to visit.”

Jim's heart tightened as he observed Sage’s subtle changes of expression. He could not help butask, “Is it your ex-husband, Mister Yuriel?”

Sage looked up at him and smiled. “You're caught up on things.” “I saw the news.” Jim pursed hislips and continued, “The news mentioned that the CEO of Yuriel Group took a hit for a lady. It didn'tmention your name, but I assumed it was you.”

“It was me.” Sage was honest. She took a sip of the wine and continued, “He took the hit for

me."

Jim noticed how Sage had become slightly helpless and down and started blaming himselfinternally for bringing up such a sensitive topic. “I shouldn't have asked. My bad. Let's talk aboutsomething else.”

Jim placed a piece of meat on her plate and said, “This is pretty good, have a taste.”

Indeed, Sage would rather not talk about an ex-husband during a pleasant time as such and changethe subject immediately. “How have you been lately? Is the training tiring?” “It's alright.” Jim took asip of tea. “Since I got into the national team, the training frequency has increased drastically. Ihaven't been able to go help out in the restaurant lately.

"You got into the national team?” Sage’s eyes glowed in anticipation.

Jim nodded and hummed yes in response. “That's great, congratulations! I knew you could do it.”Sage held her glass up and said, “Jim, FTW!" Jim was surprised. “Look at you with your internetlingo.” “Of course, I'm not a boomer,” Sage said as she glared jokingly at Jim.
