Chapter 402
Sage slept on the whole journey home. When she disembarked the plane, it was already evening. The twilight was dazzling.
She stretched her stiff neck and listened to Hunter talking on the phone with Leah behind her. His tone was gentle.
“Have you completed the discharge procedure? My dear Leah, you’re so capable… Yeah. We’ve got off the plane. We’ll go to the hospital directly to pick you up… Do you miss me? I miss you too…”
They were so lovey-dovey that Sage could not bear to listen to them.
Sage witnessed Nigel and Sean’s loving moments in Brown City. Since she returned to Salem City, she had to watch her assistant and sister flirt with each other. The lonely and single Sage felt tired watching all those lovebirds. Hunter hung up the phone and hurried forward to tell Sage a few words about Wayne’s situation.
“Leah said that Grandpa Wayne is recovering well. Jim goes to the hospital daily and feeds him well. Grandpa Wayne has gained a lot of weight, and his spirit is much better now.” Sage’s indifferent expression softened thinking of Jim. “This child is nice.” Then, she asked, “How about Dean?”
Hunter reported, “Dean is recovering well. He’s actively doing daily rehabilitation, and he can now walk on the ground. Ryan is arranging for Dean to return to the crew to shoot some simpler scenes before gradually resuming the action scenes.” “Hm. Remind Dean not to push himself. Let’s wait for his full recovery first.”
Hunter answered with a hum and was about to contact Dean’s agent, Ryan.
Then, he saw Sage’s glance and looked up at her again. “Is there anything else?”
Sage looked at him with calm eyes and tutted lightly. It gave Hunter goosebumps.
Immediately, he thought frantically, ‘Did I do something wrong?’ Sage said slowly, “I’m planning to transfer you.” Hunter’s heart trembled cowardly. He worked for Sage for years. She trained him, so he knew all her moves and intentions. Just by looking at her, he knew that something big would happen!
Would there be any problems?
Hunter’s train of thought only went on for a few seconds. Sage faintly said, “I want to transfer to the branch in North City as the president. If nothing goes wrong, you can become the vice-president of Greater Valley when you return. What do you think?”
Hunter was so stunned that he was beyond words. His heart raced rapidly for a short while and finally calmed down. It turned out that Sage was planning to send him to a remote area as a promotion. “I-I’m going to North City?” His heart jumped so much that he stuttered a little. Sage arched his brow, “Why? You don’t want to?”
He was getting a promotion and raise. Naturally, he wanted the transfer, but…
“Um, about Leah… Can she follow me there?” Hunter asked tentatively.
Sage narrowed her eyes. “Don’t dream too much!” Hunter straightened his back. “Miss Sage, I don’t think I have enough experience yet. I hope to stay as your assistant by your side at my current capability. I’ll do my best for you and ” Sage cut him off. “Okay. Let’s stop the professional -sounding and beautiful words. I don’t like hearing them.”
