A Farewell After Being Reborn
Chapter 118

Even though it was highly unlikely that Wanda had told Linda about the divorce last time, Sage still wanted to keep it a secret.

After breakfast, Sage left for Holcomb Corporation and breezed into the CEO's office. She was about to walk in when she saw that Owen and Susan were in the office with lan.

She furrowed her brows and wondered why her relatives were here. Did lan call them over? Sage looked at lan questioningly, but he just glanced at her before looking away. Not wanting to be rude, she knocked gently.

The middle-aged couple, who were sitting on the couch, heard her knock on the door and turned to look at her. "What brings you here, Sage?" Susan asked.

Her expression and tone suggested that lan hadn't told them about the divorce. Sage breathed a sigh of relief and asked them the same question.

"We're here to thank lan, of course. He introduced us to the CEO of Pacific Group last time, so we brought a little something for lan as a token of our appreciation! We're also having lunch with the CEO of Pacific Group."

Sage then noticed the fancy gift boxes on the coffee table after Susan mentioned them. From what she had said, it sounded like their business deal hadn't been finalized yet. So, they still wanted lan to get involved personally.

Sage was speechless. "Aunt Susan, didn't you promise Grandpa that you wouldn't bother lan for help with the company anymore?”

"Oh come on, Sage. We're not bothering him. lan and the CEO of Pacific Group are friends. Isn't it normal for friends to have lunch together? It is, isn't it, lan?" Susan turned to lan for confirmation. "He's busy,” Sage cut in. "He's got a lot on his plate.”

Sage didn't want lan to be involved in her family's affairs anymore. Plus, she wanted to finalize the divorce smoothly.

"lan hasn't said a word yet. How do you know he's busy?" Susan grumbled.

"That's right, Sage. Besides, no matter how busy lan is, he's gotta eat. We'll just hang out here until he's done. Then we can all go grab a bite together!" Owen said in a declaratory tone. Owen could be more stubborn than Susan at times. Moreover, when he said he'd wait, he meant it.

Sage didn't want to waste her breath on them anymore. She just wanted to get the divorce papers sorted out. Hence, she walked over to lan despite their puzzled gazes.

lan lifted his gaze and looked at her. Susan couldn't ask him outright since Owen and Susan were there, so she blinked at lan twice as if to ask, "Have you signed the papers?"

However, lan asked, "Are you okay?"

Sage was tongue-tied. He was deliberately being obtuse. He knew exactly what she was asking, but he was just playing dumb!

Sage decided to gesture toward his lounge and said, "Come over here for a second. I need to talk to you."

"What's going on, Sage? What can't you say it here?" Susan asked, puzzled.

"It's personal. We'll be right back." Sage had assured Susan because she knew Susan was worried that she would stop lan from helping them.

"Why are you getting all handsy with lan in front of your elders? If you have something to say, say it here!" Owen chimed in, slightly annoyed.

Sage couldn't be bothered to argue with them. She planned to lean over and whisper into lan's ear. However, lan turned his head as soon as she leaned over, and her lips accidentally brushed against his cheek.
