A Relentless Pursuit for Love novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25

Sage had not been lying when she said that she was really busy.

After returning to Salem City, Sage had been drowned in her work as well as business gatherings. With work as an excuse, Sage had turned down invitations from the brothers of the Bennett family. She had disappointed them.

Tonight, she had to attend yet another business gathering.

The streets gradually began to glow with lights. Salem City was always the liveliest and busiest at night. The streets were filled with couples leaning against each other as they held hands. Tonight, the city glowed with romance.

Leaning into the car seat, Sage stared quietly out of the car window.

A couple was sharing food at a food truck by the roadside. She fed her man, and he kissed her. She smiled sweetly at him, and then, hand in hand they moved on to the next food truck. Sage thought that what they had was simple yet sweet.

All she had wanted was what they had.

Tomorrow would be his wedding. Sage had only rejected him because she did not know what to say to him.

As his ex-wife and as someone who had loved him for many years, perhaps the best that she could do was to give him her whole hearted blessing. However, she was spiteful and unforgiving. She could not see him with someone else.

Play some music.”

Hunter Grant, her assistant who was in the passenger seat, tumed on the radio. An oldie was playing:

“If those two words hadn’t trembled, I wouldn’t have noticed that I was in pain. No matter how you say it, it’s just a breakup…”

As the song reached its climax, Sage closed her eyes.

“I didn’t know you ten years ago, you didn’t belong to me, we are still the same, with a stranger by our side, walking through familiar streets, ten years later, we’re still friends…”

The Jace she knew flashed through her mind. He was arrogant and confident, even when he was in pain, and the look of him soundlessly asleep by her side was forever engraved into her.

“Am I in the wrong room?” Sage asked calmly.

“Nope.”

Yoel grinned as he walked to the opposite end of the room. He pulled a chair for Sage and gestured politely before saying, “Please, have a seat.”

Sage stood still, unmoving.

Hunter was about to reach for his phone when Yoel added, “There is no need for verification. I’m the one who is meeting you today. I wanted to work with you, so I got rid of Kyle.”

He sounded smug and arrogant.

“Director Sage…” said Hunter. He was about to call for her bodyguards so that they might escort her out of the restaurant.

Staring at Yoel who was confidently lounging in his chair, Sage had no plan of leaving. She wanted to know what Yoel had up his sleeves. After Sage sat down, Yoel snapped his fingers, and the waitresses began serving the food.
