She knew that he had a reason for visiting. Sage looked at Shane susplelously. ” What brings you here, Mr. Morrison?”
The man casually crossed his legs and responded with a grin, “Remember our bet, Ms. Joyner? I said I’d invest if you could restore Mimosa’s reputation. So
here I am, keeping my word.”
“Mr. Morrison’s willing to invest in Mimosa according to the terms you told me about before, Sage,” Priscilla added.
Sage hadn’t expected Shane to act so quickly. She couldn’t believe he was already approaching them for investment when Mimosa had only started gaining traction the night before. Moreover, he wasn’t taking advantage of the situation by demanding a higher shareholding ratio.
“Are you sure about this, Mr. Morrison? Mimosa is doing better now, but no one knows what will happen in the future,” she reminded.
“Oh?” Shane looked Sage in the eye. “Are you doubting yourself or Mimosa, Ms. Joyner?”
“I have faith in both myself and Mimosa!” she responded confidently.
He chuckled. “In that case, what else do I have to consider?”
It was definitely a good thing for Mimosa to be able to secure investment from Farsight Investment this quickly. It would be very beneficial for the winery’s development and listing.
“What’s your take on this, Priscilla?” Sage asked.
On one hand, accepting Shane’s investment would give Mimosa the resources it needed to grow. But on the other, she would be giving up the opportunity to work
with other investment banks.
Priscilla was not one to beat around the bush. “I’ve always thought Farsight Investment was a good company. Now that Mr. Morrison has expressed interest. in investing, of course, I can’t refuse.”
Sage had no reason to object since Priscilla was on board. With that, the three of them spent the rest of the morning hammering out the details of the contract and setting a date for the official signing.
Shane noticed it was already lunchtime and suggested, “Why don’t we grab lunch together? My treat.”
Priscilla still had a lot on her plate and politely declined. “Sage, I’ll be counting on you to join Mr. Morrison for lunch. Once again, thank you for your trust and support in Mimosa, Mr. Morrison.”
Sage had no reason to decline Shane’s invitation. After all, she was a temporary shareholder of Mimosa, and she was interested in doing business with Farsight Investment. Hence, she agreed. “Sure thing.”
Meanwhile, Ivy had regained consciousness in the hospital.
After conducting an MRI, the doctor told her, “You have a mild concussion, so you’ll have to stay in the hospital for a few days. Fortunately, the chandelier missed you by a hair’s breadth. Otherwise, your injury could’ve been much worse. However, your arm has been severely injured, so be sure to keep it dry, take it easy, and rest up.”
“I understand. Thank you, Doctor.”
Ivy turned to look at Ian gratefully after the doctor left. “Ian, I heard from the nurse that you were here until the wee hours of the morning. I’m so sorry for worrying you.”
“You’re one of my employees. It’s only right for me to be here when something happens,” Ian said apathetically.
Ivy caught his drift and smiled weakly. “I guess Sage is upset about last night, huh? I’ll talk to her and clear things up. After all, you were just doing your job when you took me to the hospital…” she coughed before she could finish her
sentence.
Ivy looked like she had been through hell. Her head and arms were wrapped in bandages, her face was as white as a sheet, and her body was shaking.

lan realized he had been too cold, especially since she had just regained consciousness and had no idea what had happened last night. “It’s not your fault. You don’t have to explain anything to anyone,” he said gently.
