Chapter 109
Sage figured that he was talking about how she got drunk to help Mimosa gain expose last night. “It’s alright. I’m sure it’s normal for people like you from prestigious families to look down on others.”
“Why do you sound like you’ve gone through a lot of hardships?” Shane clicked his tongue. “To be honest, it’s because you look too much like a vase,” he added bluntly.
Sage was rendered speechless by his bluntness. “You sure have a very special way of complimenting someone, Mr. Morrison.”
“You deserve to be complimented.” Unfazed by Sage’s response, Shane curled his lips into a smile. “So… regarding last night’s drama, were you about to be abandoned by Ian, or was it just an excuse to call him out?”
Sage wasn’t going to satisfy his curiosity because she knew he was just being nosy. “My apologies, but that’s quite personal. I’d rather not talk about it.”
Shane didn’t seem too bothered. He leaned back in his chair lazily and smirked. It looks like you’re serious about taking down Bolton Investment, Ms. Joyner. I’m looking forward to working with you!”
She wondered if that meant their collaboration was a done deal. Truth be told, she
couldn’t come up with 100 million dollars to join Farsight Investment, and she
told Shane this.
Shane wasn’t the least bit surprised. “Well then, you can owe me. Just deduct it from the projects you negotiated and the dividends you receive.”
“I’ll start next month,” she responded.
Linda’s birthday was just around the corner. Besides celebrating this, Sage also had to deal with her own divorce and follow up on the contract she signed with
- Mimosa. Hence, it was perfect timing to start working next month.
“Sure, I’ll be waiting.‘
Not long after, their food arrived. Several waiters were present throughout the

meal. They were waited on like royalty. The staff helped them debone their meats, changed their plates, and served them soup.
Shane sure was a hedonist. Wherever he went, extravagance followed.
“Mr. Morrison, have you never considered keeping a low profile?” she asked.
“And why would I do that? What’s wrong with enjoying life to the fullest?” he
retorted.
Surprisingly, she found herself agreeing with Shane’s philosophy of life. Sage made a quick stop back at Mimosa after her meal with Shane.
Priscilla gleefully showed her the significant increase in Mimosa’s orders. “This is all thanks to you, Sage!”
She hadn’t expected Sage to turn a humiliating situation into the perfect. marketing campaign in such a short period. She also turned Mimosa around from the brink of bankruptcy overnight.
Sage smiled as she said, “Well, your cooperation played a big part too, Priscilla.”
Things went smoothly because she was decisive and didn’t hesitate or have second thoughts. The girls celebrated their success today with coffee instead of alcohol.
All of a sudden, Priscilla remembered something. “Benjamin took over a winery. recently and has invested heavily in advertising. I bet he’s trying to compete with
us.”
Sage frowned. “Priscilla, you need to watch out for him.”
She wasn’t afraid of competing with him fairly. She was just afraid that Benjamin would resort to underhanded tactics because he was jealous of Mimosa’s sales.
“Don’t worry. I know all of his tricks after all these years of being married to him. I won’t let him have the upper hand.”
Sage’s phone buzzed as she spoke to Priscilla. She pulled out her phone, unlocked it, and read the message. “When’s the appointment?
