A Farewell After Being Reborn
Chapter 137

Sage was completely baffled by Shane's actions. Why couldn't he have used a more sophisticated approach if he were going to go against lan? She couldn't accept his childish approach at all.

lan ignored Shane's provocation. Instead, he turned to Sage and said, "You're coming with me to Room One."

Her brows furrowed together. "Why?" Surely he wasn't going to hold her accountable for this mess? Shane chimed in, "She's my driver today. I don't mind if you bother her, but she isn't going anywhere with you!"

lan frowned and shot Shane a cold glance. "Mr. Morrison, word has it that your elder brother is going to be promoted. He might not forgive you if something were to go awry now.”

"Do you seriously think you have that much power?" Shane scoffed.

lan’s tone remained apathetic. "I know he's over in Brookfield, but it just so happens that he's particularly interested in involving Holcomb Corporation in his investment plan this time."

Shane snorted. "What does that have to do with me? If he doesn't get promoted, he can always just come back and run the family business!"

"I'm sure you could disregard your elder brother, but what about Mr. Morrison Senior? Can you also disregard him?"

Shane was at a loss for words. If his grandfather found out he had messed up his elder brother's promotion, he probably wouldn't be safe even in death.

"Fine. I should've known this was all you were capable of." He rose to his feet. "I'll let you off this time. Enjoy the rest of your evening with your wife. I'm out of here!"

He then stormed off. Sage didn't even get the chance to ask him to foot the bill. Then she turned to lan. “You should leave as well."

lan frowned. "Do you seriously think you can just sweep this under the rug, Sage? I can't believe you'd bribe the manager to change my order and make me look like a fool in front of Professor Braun."

The manager claimed that it was his wife who had requested the change. But it was clear, based on her reaction, that she hadn't revealed her identity. It was clear that Shane had bribed the manager in advance.

But he wasn't upset because of that. He was upset because Sage was getting closer and closer to Shane. He had clearly warned her that Shane was not to be trusted.

"Did you and Shane come here just to ruin my dinner appointment?" lan asked

Although Sage was clueless as to Shane's purpose in coming here, her involvement in changing the order made her an accomplice. Out of courtesy, she had to go over and apologize.

Hence, she wiped her hands and said, "I'll go over and explain myself. But I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing this because I made a mistake.”

lan pursed his lips and opted to remain silent.

Sage found the porcelain dolls on the shelves in the corridor leading to the private dining rooms adorable and couldn't help but try and touch them. However, she couldn't reach it.

To her surprise, Sage felt her feet leave the ground as soon as she withdrew her hand. She looked down and realized that lan had actually lifted her off the ground.

"What on earth are you doing?" Sage exclaimed.

lan remained calm. "I'm helping you reach it because you can't."

Sage felt embarrassed because she was being held like a child. "Put me down!" lan complied and put her down, his hand lingering on her waist.

Sage was so angry that she shook off his hand and hurried forward. As she did so, she accidentally bumped into a waiter who was carrying a bowl of soup and walking in the opposite direction. "Watch out!" lan swiftly drew her back and deftly steadied the waiter's tray before she could react. Despite his quick reaction time, he couldn't stop a bit of the scalding soup from splashing out. When Sage turned around, she noticed that a large area of Ian's hand had turned red from the scalding hot soup.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." the flustered waiter apologized profusely. "I couldn't move out of the way in time..."
