A Farewell After Being Reborn

Ian felt a twinge of regret for letting her go when he looked at Sage. Even though she was wearing a modest swimsuit, it failed to cover her slender, long legs and curves.

“Ian, are you listening?” Calvin called out again.

Ian looked away, his tone tinged with irritation. “What is it?”

“Why are you so cranky? What? Are you pent–up?” Calvin teased. Little did he know that his joke would hit a nerve.

“In the future, just call Terry when you need something. Don’t call me ever again!” Ian then hung up the phone on him.

Calvin was left hanging, puzzled. What did he do wrong? Why couldn’t he call Ian anymore?

Meanwhile, Sage found Tiana. The latter had sent her colleagues away as if she knew the former would come looking for her. Tiana sat in the rose pond, holding her phone with a grin. “What are you laughing at? You’re going to get me killed!” Sage grumbled as she eased into the pool..

“What did I do? I brought you here to soak in the hot springs, not to cozy up to Ian!” Tiana teased. “You guys hugged it out like you never wanted to let go of each other. Those who didn’t know any better would’ve thought you guys were newlyweds rather than on the brink of divorce.”

Sage’s face began to heat up again as she thought about what had just happened. Things weren’t as it seemed, but she couldn’t tell Tiana that Ian was aroused, so she had to go with her nonsense.

“Oh, look who’s blushing now?” Tiana continued. “You have no idea how envious and jealous my colleagues were just now. The girls were squealing next to me, telling me they couldn’t take it anymore and that they wanted to get married and fall in love. I almost went deaf!” “Cut it out!” Sage splashed water on Tiana. “It’s all your fault! You tricked me into coming here, and you won’t even share a room with me! I don’t care. I’m sleeping with you tonight!” Even though Ian’s luggage wasn’t in her room, she still felt a little uneasy. After all, she wouldn’t stand a chance against him if he had those urges again. It was safer to stay with

Tiana.

Tiana wiped the water off her phone pouch and refused. “No way! Wilson will be here tonight. I can’t have you interrupting our quality time together!”

Sage was fuming. “But you clearly said Wilson was busy when we set off!”

“Yeah, he was tied up this morning, but he’s free tonight,” Tiana responded. Then, her eyes up when she noticed something. She hurriedly picked up her phone and took a closer look before exclaiming, “Look, Sage! Someone just posted a photo of you and Ian!”

“What photo?” Sage had a bad feeling about this. She leaned over to take a look. Sure enough,

it was Ian holding her close.

In the photo, lan was lifting her effortlessly with one hand while the other arm was wrapped around her waist. He was also lowering his head to plant a kiss on her head.

Maybe it was the angle of the shot, but a ray of sunlight shone down on them when Ian kissed her. It made the image look very aesthetically pleasing.

“Tsk tsk, with your looks, even a casual photo becomes cinematic,” Tiana exclaimed. “Look at these comments! You can tell how work up everyone is.”

Of course, Sage took notice. Half of the group wished they had such a connection, while the other half gushed about how beautiful and sweet she and Ian looked in the photo.

Some also said that they thought she and Ian didn’t have a good relationship at the company’s party last time, but it seemed as if they were mistaken. They even vowed to ship them.

Sage couldn’t help but scoff about how naive these people were. All of a sudden, she realized something was amiss. She snatched Tiana’s phone…
