Chapter 70

Sage could not care for Yoel's remarks. Looking at Hunter who was starting to get annoyed at Yoel,Sage said, "Get the documents ready for the horse racing course. Schedule a meeting with them,and we'll leave at a quarter past nine sharp.”

“Yes, ma'am.” Leaving the office, Hunter closed the door behind him.

As soon as the door was closed, Hunter cheered silently under his breath.

Hunter was pleased by how Sage had treated Jace earlier as he had always resented Jace for hurtingSage's feelings. He thought that Jace had finally got a taste of his own medicine.

The vice CEQ, Finn Janssen, was making his way to the CEO's office when he spotted Hunter'sstrange behavior. “What are you doing?”

“Mr. Finn” Hunter quickly regained his composure and greeted Finn. At Finn's request, Hunterreported everything that had happened from last night to this morning.

Finn simply furrowed his brows.

Jace Yuriel again?

What exactly happened at Nadeem City during the three years Sage had gone missing? Why didshe change so much? What had broken her heart and caused her to become so defensive?

Could Jace Yuriel have a thing to do with this?

At the thought of this, Finn passed the documents to Hunter, tumed around, and entered the lift. Heplanned to get his answers today.

In the main lobby, Zayne stood silently behind Jace as he studied Jace's expression carefully. He wasworried that Jace would fly into a rage and tear down the entire building.

After so many years of working alongside Jace, this was the first time he had seen Jace personallyrequest for a collaboration and have that request denied.

The last time that Jace was rejected was here at the Norah Group's building too, and he had beenrejected by the same person.

The last time, Sage said, “No, I don’t have the time. Meet me? He can wait till he is in his next life.”This time, Sage said, “Who are you?”

Sage had rejected Jace coldly, twice.

If it was someone else who had treated them this way, Zayne would have gladly bumed down theentire building without even having Jace ask him to.

However, this was Sage the owner of Norah Group. As a mere assistant, Zayne had no right tomeddle in Jace and Sage's business.

"Sir, should we come another day instead?”

With his lips pressed tightly together, Jace could not seem to replace the words to describe his feelings.It was a mixture of disappointment, anger, and embarrassment.

How could she ask who he was?

Was she obsessed with pretending that he was a stranger?

Why was Yoel allowed to follow her?

Why would Sage agree to work with Yoel instead of him?

"Oh, hello there, Sir. You're here again?”

Jace heard a clear and crisp voice. It was Yuri Harley, the lady at the front desk that had helped Jaceschedule a meeting with Sage.

She pulled into a bright smile at the sight of the handsome Jace. “You're here to meet Miss Sage, Isuppose? Have you been able to schedule an appointment this time around?”

“Yeah.” Jace nodded.

Confused, Zayne took a quick glance at Jace.

Without even checking, Yuri immediately responded, “Okay. This way, please. I will escort you.”Just then, Finn arrived at the main lobby to replace it empty. He walked up to the front desk and said,“Did Mr. Jace leave?” The other lady at the front desk replied, “No, Sir. He just went up.”
