A Farewell After Being Reborn

Chapter 55

“Even though Sage is quite annoying about it, you haven’t divorced her yet. Isn’t it a little inappropriate?” Calvin asked.

Ian was irritated. “If you have something to talk to me about, speak right now. If not, get lost.”

Just then, the secretary came in with the coffee. So, Calvin pleasingly handed it to Ian. “Ian, have some coffee. Don’t let your throat go dry.”

There was indeed some discomfort in Ian’s throat. So, Ian accepted the mug.

“Heh. Ian, I’m sure you know why I’m here.”

After the secretary had gone out, Calvin began to plead his case. “My dad is very serious about the gulf project. If you turn it down, I’ll lose my freedom for the next few months. No, I’ll lose it for the whole year!

“He’ll drag me to the company and force me to take lessons!”

Ian said, “Great. Then I won’t have to listen to you yapping anymore.”

“Ian, you can’t do this.” Calvin sobbed, “Remember when you and Shane got into a fight at school back then? Who rushed forward to help you with abandon?”

“Do you mean that time when he kicked you to the ground? When you grazed your skin and bled, and you fainted at the sight of the blood? When I almost lost. because I was distracted by you?”

Calvin fell silent. “But you have to admit that I was loyal enough to help you out, right?”

Ian massaged the space between his eyebrows. “Write another detailed and plausible letter of intent on your own. Then, deliver the presentation on the project yourself.”

Calvin put on a sour expression. “I don’t know how!”

“Then take your loyalty back to your dad’s company and work there.”

“Fine. I’ll do it!”

Calvin had always been strong in the mental aspect. He accepted it after a mere fleeting moment. Then, he was even in the mood to keep gossiping.

“Ian, even though it’s a good thing that you’ve met a woman you like, you shouldn’t be a two–timer. Should I help you talk to Sage so that she’ll let go of you sooner?”

Ian glared at Calvin. “Get lost. In the future, you’re not allowed into my office without my permission.”

Calvin couldn’t understand why Ian became so contradictory.

He had mentioned Sage twice, and Ian got angry on both occasions. Ian was probably troubled because he didn’t know how to get rid of her.

“Got it, Ian. I’ll leave right now.”

Before leaving the office, Calvin added, “Don’t worry, I’ll always support you. I’m always on your side!”

Ian closed his eyes. He didn’t have the energy to humor Calvin anymore.

By the time Sage woke up, it was already almost noon.

Last night, she kept wondering if she should tell Priscilla about Benjamin. Then, she finally went to sleep in a daze in the morning.

After getting out of bed, Sage washed up and went downstairs. Wanda was preparing lunch. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“Mrs. Holcomb, have some soup first. You’ll have to wait a little longer for the meal.” Wanda ladled some soup into a bowl for Sage.

“What’s that?”

Sage pointed at a package on the dining table as she asked.

Wanda replied, “They’re medicinal herbs from Mrs. Holcomb Senior. She asked someone to deliver them this morning.”

Sage was puzzled. “Why would Grandma deliver herbs out of the blue?”

Wanda told Sage that Linda had heard from someone that Ian’s health wasn’t too great. So, Linda told Wanda that the medicinal herbs would help strengthen Ian’s body.

Hence, Wanda was to make herbal soup for Ian every day.

Sage immediately recalled Ian’s wet pants in the restaurant back then. She couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

By the looks of it, the relatives weren’t good at keeping secrets at all, for the news had reached Linda’s ears so soon. Linda had even believed it and gotten some medicinal herbs for Ian.

Sage wondered how Ian would react when he heard of this.

“Mrs. Holcomb, why are you laughing? Is there something wrong with the herbs? “Wanda asked.

Sage shook her head. “It’s nothing. I just suddenly remembered a joke.”

Wanda went back into the kitchen. Sage drank the soup as she unlocked her phone.

Tiana had posted something on her social media page.

Other than some photos of beautiful scenery, she also uploaded some selfies she took with her husband.
