Sage turned over and realized lan had walked up to her at spoint and was currently pointing out the flaws in the contract.

His long arm almost touched her nose as he gestured at the computer screen. She couldn't help but catch a whiff of the cedarwood and alcohol on him.

"Don't look at me. Look at the contract." lan turned her head with his hand. Sage rolled her eyes when she noticed his tone and actions were like those of a teacher teaching his apprentice. However, she didn't protest and turned her attention back to the contract.

The problems he pointed out made her feel as if a light bulb had been switched on in her head. They were all difficult issues to spot, but he was able to point them out at a glance. No wonder he was able to manage Holcomb Corporation so well. lan really was capable.

Sage was able to identify and correct the problems in the contract under lan's guidance. She then sent the revised contract to her uncle.

Sage stretched after she was done. She was exhausted, and she wasn't feeling well either to begin with. In addition to that, she had a long day. All she wanted was to take a shower and go to bed.

lan was sitting beside her with glassy eyes. He gazed at her with an unreadable expression. "You've never shown any interest in your family business, and you've always toldto stay out of it. So why are you now suddenly so invested in it?" Sage responded matter-of-factly, "I didn't want you to get involved because I didn't want to rely on you constantly. It's only natural forto be invested-it's my family business, after all." lan felt a sense of unease growing in his gut as he listened to Sage, who seemed to be drawing a clear line between them. He pursed his lips and went to bed without another word.

Sage ignored him, grabbed a set of pajamas from the wardrobe, and stalked into the bathroom. The hickeys on her body were starting to fade, but the ones where lan had bit her hardest were still dark. Sage cursed under her breath as she put on her pajamas and stepped out of the bathroom. lan was already asleep, sprawled out on the bed when she stepped out. He hadn't bothered to cover himself or take off his shoes.

His breathing was steady, and he looked much less imposing when he was asleep. The coldness and arrogance he usually wore like a mask were gone. The night light shone on his handsface and made him look extremely captivating.

Sage recalled the only other tshe had spent the night here. She had pretended to be asleep until midnight before she crept over to lan's side. She gazed down at his handsface and couldn't resist stealing a kiss.

Sage smiled wryly as she thought about how low she had sunk. Then, she grabbed a thin blanket and settled onto the couch. She was so exhausted that she fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

While she was asleep, she felt something wet and sticky touch her cheek. Sage wanted to open her eyes, but she was too tired and ignored it. Sage awoke the next morning to sunlight streaming in through her window. Checking her phone, she realized it was already past 9:00 a.m. Her uncle had replied to her message, saying that he'd had his assistant revise the contract. He had also asked her to thank lan for him.

Sage was worried that her uncle wouldn't take her seriously, so she dropped lan's nand said he had looked over the contract and made over schanges. This tactic seemed to have worked.

Sage was sure that the other party wouldn't want to sign the contract once they reviewed it. But in any жет case, onde this was all over, she would have to thank lan. After freshening up, she headed downstairs to find lan.

It was the day the couple had agreed to get a divorce. Sage wanted to go straight to the court to get the divorce certificate.
