Chapter 192
Calvin clicked his tongue. “Ian, you can’t just bury yourself in work all day. You need to make some time for Mrs. Holcomb!”
“If you have something to say, spit it out. I don’t have all day.” Ian’s patience was wearing
thin.
“Why are you so grumpy?” Calvin took a sip of his drink and continued, “We’re chilling at the bar, Ian. Why don’t you swing by for a drink and loosen up a little?”
“No thanks. I’m busy.”
Calvin wasn’t surprised by Ian’s refusal. “Are you sure? I have a surprise for you. I’m sure you’ll love it.”
“Quit messing around!” Ian then hung up on him.
Calvin was in no rush at all. He sent Ian the photo of Sage that he had just taken. Sure enough, his phone rang almost immediately after he hit send. He silenced his phone when he noticed. Ian’s name flashing on the screen.
“This serves you right for hanging up on me!” he mused. Calvin decided to leave him hanging
for a bit.
He then returned to his booth, shooed away the person sitting by the railing, and sat down. He looked down at Sage, who was wearing a simple T–shirt and jeans and all smiles as she drank with her friend. The woman was laughing so hard that she was doubled over. Her happiness was palpable.
In his mind, Sage was never one to frequent places like bars. She always carried herself with meticulous elegance. But she seemed to have cast all of that aside and was looking livelier than
ever now.
A beautiful woman would easily attract people’s attention. So, it didn’t take long for men to walk over and chat them up.
Calvin became even more excited when he saw this. He whipped out his phone and took a
picture of the scene.
“Why are you being such a chicken, Mr. Luther? Which one of them has caught your eye? I’ll go and invite her up for you!” one of his friends volunteered when he noticed Calvin snickering and taking pictures of the women downstairs.
“Mind your own business!” Calvin snapped. He checked his phone and noticed that there was only one missed call. He then sent Ian the photo of a man flirting with Sage. Calvin was curious to see how long Ian could keep up the act.

Calvin waited for a while after sending the phone. However, he di: receive any response from lan. Could it be that he didn’t see it?
He decided to video call lan. He planned on hanging up on him as soon as he picked up, just to tease him. However, lan declined his call. What was going on?
st then,
Calvin was a little confused. How could Ian stay calm after seeing Sage being hit on? Just
a few whistles and applause came from below, drawing his attention. He looked down, and to his surprise, Sage had stood up from her seat and was walking toward the stage.
The DJ welcomed Sage onstage to perform a drum solo for everyone. Her friend cheered the loudest and pulled out her phone to record the moment.
The man who had hit on Sage appeared to have been thoroughly rejected. He was shooting daggers at them as he returned to his seat.
When the music started, Sage picked up the drumsticks. She tapped her foot to the beat and twirled the drumsticks between her fingers a few times. Her confident and cool moves made her friend scream in excitement.
Calvin had to admit that he was also captivated by Sage’s charisma. It was even more
breathtaking to see her perform live than on video. He’d seen other girls play the drums, but none of them had the same kind of charm as Sage.
Despite her delicate appearance, her movements were clean and crisp, as if her entire body was grooving to the beat. Even his friends were impressed.
“Whoa, I had no idea a girl could rock the drums like that!”
“Mhm, no wonder she’s got Mr. Luther hooked. He can’t even blink!”
“Shut it, guys,” Calvin snapped. “That’s lan’s wife!”
Everyone was aware of who Ian was. Their jaws dropped as they looked at Sage on stage. They couldn’t believe that the wife of the CEO of Holcomb Corporation could be so… bold.
After finishing her performance, Sage high–fived the other people on stage and returned to
her seat.
