"He didn't say. But for his business trip to Lathuyria, he packed the new clothes and the pen I bought for him."At the mention of Lathuyria, Sage calculated the time difference and suddenly thought of something. "Tiana, can't you take a day off? Why don't you accompany Wilson on his trip?""I don't have the time. My mother-in-law's housekeeper is on leave, so I have to go clean and cook for them every day. In the evenings, I even have to do exercises with her.""Then, hire a temporary worker to fill in the housekeeper's role. Go to Lathuyria and be with Wilson," Sage suggested. "You two haven't had a honeymoon; now is the perfect time to make up for it."Although she was tempted, Tiana turned down the idea. She said, "Nah, my visa has expired. We'll plan another trip next time.""You can renew your visa or at least join a tour group through a travel agency. It's a great opportunity. Don't you want to spend some quality time alone with Wilson?"Finally, Tiana was convinced. "Shou

Sage shot Ian a cold glance. She found his question ironic. She thought, "Who else could it be besides you? You took my USB drive and did not answer my calls."Ian sensed Sage's dissatisfaction but held back his annoyance. "I've reviewed your investment plan for Mimosa. It was well-executed, given your effort. Considering that, I can offer you an internship opportunity at Bolton Investment."At this moment, Terry astutely presented a document to Sage. She frowned as she took it. It was an offer letter of employment as an intern at Holcomb Corporation."When did I say I wanted to be an intern at Bolton Investment?" Sage couldn't help but chuckle. Thinking she was unhappy with the intern role, Ian patiently explained, "Holcomb Corporation has strict hiring standards. Based on your investment plan alone, you don't meet the criteria for a permanent employee yet."As long as you continue with your dedication to proposal drafting and learn diligently, a suitable position will be arrang

Shane cast a mocking glance at Sage. "Do you think Mimosa would abandon such a lucrative opportunity to collaborate with us before Bolton Investment makes an offer?"Sage replied, "Under normal circumstances, no. But with the right influence, things might change.""Oh?" Shane adjusted his sitting posture. He was becoming more interested in hearing Sage's next words.Sage took out her phone, retrieved some information, and handed it to Shane. "This is Mimosa's manager, Benjamin Xenith. I've gathered some background information on him through various channels."It's said that he managed to establish the winery not only due to an exclusive recipe but also with financial support from his in-laws. Therefore, he tends to listen to his wife, who is quite assertive.""Are you planning to convince Benjamin to collaborate with us through his wife?"Shane's tone became lighter, and his patience was running thin. He thought that Sage initiating the collaboration was just for show because she

The phone was on speaker, and soon Sage heard Linda's saddened voice on the other end. "Sage, are you not willing to accompany me just because you're upset with Ian?"Sage had never heard Linda speak in such a tone, so she quickly replied, "I'm willing to accompany you, Grandma.""Then it's settled. I'll have the driver pick you both up tomorrow!"Before Sage could say anything else, Linda had already ended the call. Her tone sounded noticeably lighter.Sage felt helpless.The next afternoon, Sage received a call from the driver when it was time to depart. Upon reaching the car and opening the door, she was surprised to find Ian already sitting in the backseat.He was wearing a black suit. He exuded an air of cold sophistication as he focused on his laptop. He looked every bit like a successful figure on the cover of a financial magazine.When he heard the door open, Ian glanced at her nonchalantly before returning his attention to the laptop.Sage cursed him in her heart. She

"Good evening, Grandma and everyone," Ian greeted gracefully."Ian, you're truly dutiful. You always come to accompany your grandmother, unlike those ungrateful brats in our family who always say they're busy as an excuse not to show up!""No kidding! Can anyone be busier than Ian? He runs such a huge corporation and still manages to make time. I think our grandchildren simply find us bothersome!""Alas, Ian never disappoints. He is both capable and respectful. Mrs. Holcomb Senior is blessed!"As he listened to the aunts' praises, Ian wore a subtle smile. Glancing at Sage, he calmly said, "You all are too kind. I don't have much time to be with Grandma regularly. It's my Sage who spends more time with her."Hearing "my Sage" coming from Ian's mouth made Sage think she was hearing things. Even during social niceties, he had never addressed her like that before!Sage stared at Ian while trying to read his face. However, his expression remained impassive, like nothing happened.Mea
