Chapter 647

Zayne too was excited for Jace. He was stunned that Sage was reaching out first to Jace. Jace finallycame back to his senses. In a lightning move, he quickly sent an invitation message to Sage. InZachary's messaging account that Jace used, there was only one contact and it was Sage.

Jace first added his contact into Zachary's messaging account before forwarding his contact toSage. He felt his heart thumping loudly against his chest as he was worried that Sage would catchon.

Sage then replied: (Got it, thanks!]

Jace replied with a welcome and he quickly swapped to his phone and noticed Sage's request toadd her to his messaging account.

In a hurry, he quickly accepted her request and his phone nearly slipped out of his hand. Zayne triedso hard not to laugh at Jace.

He worked with Jace for a long time and this was the first time he saw Jace being this flustered. Jacelooked like this was his first time being in love.

After accepting her friend request, Jace pondered as to what message he should send to Sage. Butbefore he could even type a word, Sage called him on the phone.

Startled by the sudden phone call, Jace dropped his phone onto the floor. Picking up the phonequickly, Jace answered the call and held his breath. On the other end of the call was Sage. “Hey, thisis Sage.”

Jace suddenly lost his ability to speak. He thought that Sage’s voice sounded calm and slightlyindifferent. After a pause, he replied, “Hey.” Zayne got frustrated as he watched Jace. Was that allJace could say to Sage after wanting desperately to reach out to her? Jace's heart beat fast but hismind went gone blank. Clearing his throat, he then asked, “How... how have you been?”

Sage too felt slightly weird, hearing Jace's voice on the phone. She was out of the country for toolong but perhaps too many things happened between them, it seemed like she did not hear hisvoice for a long time.

Regaining her composure, she replied, “I'm doing fine, thanks. There's something that I need to talkto you about.”

Jace too calmed himself down. “Go on... I'm listening.”

"Are you looking into Sienna?” Jace already expected that she would bring up this. He responded,"Yes and I know that you're looking into her as well. But I'm afraid that Peter would soon catch onthat he’s being followed because two parties are looking into him. You can ask your guy to stop fornow. I'll inform you first if we get anything on Sienna and Peter.” He then went on, “I'm only lookinginto Sienna because of Jekyll and nothing else.” Jace was worried that Sage would misunderstand sohe quickly explained himself. “Sure, sounds good to me.” Sage knew that Jace would not back downnor neither could she change his mind, hence she agreed to his request. “I also heard that yourfather, Chief Lucas, is also involved in this..." Jace responded, “He only wanted to get Luna out of jailand he isn't aware that he is being used. I'll talk to him about this but the decision is still his tomake.”

“Right, okay.” Sage had no intentions of letting Luna off the hook easily. However, if Lucas made uphis mind to be involved, Sage would not go easy on him too.

They both then exchanged several words. She asked about how Freya did and Jace replied that hismother did well.

They conversed like old friends, asking about each other's families, but there was an obviousdistance between them

Sage then said, “If there's nothing else, I'm going to hang up now.”

"Sage..."

Jace called out to her anxiously. Feeling a lump in his throat, he asked softly, “When are you comingback?”
