FreeNovelChapter 173 Why would he call her this early in the morning? He was probably going to stop her from looking for Collin or ask her to join his company’s team-building event again.
However, she felt like there was not much to say about either of these things. Hence, she decided to ignore his call. He used to ignore her calls as well. It was tfor him to feel the sfrustration.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSage silenced her phone before heading out. Sage spotted a familiar figure when she arrived at Collins research facility. It was Ivy.
Sage hadn't seen Ivy since she was injured at the Holcomb Corporation’s party. She hadn't expected to run into her here.
Ivy wore an elegant dress and a tailored blazer. It made her look professional, yet gentle. She had her bangs down, presumably to cover the wound on her forehead. Even with makeup on, she looked frail.
Sage couldn't believe how dedicated Ivy was, or that she had only stayed in the hospital for a few days and was already back at work after being hit by a chandelier.
In her previous life, Ivy spent nearly half a month in the hospital even though her injuries. weren't as severe. Of course, lan had been by her side the entire time. This had made Sage green with jealousy.
Hence, she kept bombarding lan with messages. She complained that her back was hurting a lot and that she was also in the hospital for physiotherapy, hoping that lan would cand see her. Yet he ignored her and never even replied to a single message.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was so angry that she endured the pain in her back and went to the hospital with Delilah to cause a scene.
As expected, she was driven away by lan. He even warned her to behave herself, or that he would otherwise hold her accountable for injuring Ivy...
“Mrs. Holcomb, what brings you here?” Ivy's voice snapped her out of her reverie.
Sage looked at her gentle demeanor and asked icily, “Why can’t | be here?” Ivy didn’t seem to mind her tone. “Of course, you can be here. | was just curious, that’s all.” Sage didn’t want to waste her breath on Ivy. She was afraid that she would lose her temper and strangle Ivy because of what happened in her previous life. Calmly, she walked toward her.
However, Ivy held up a hand to stop her. “Mrs. Holcomb.” Sage cto a halt. “What do you want?” “I want to apologize to you for what happened at the party,” Ivy responded. “After all, you +15 BONUS were misunderstood and blamed for something you didn’t do because of me.
“lan was also just looking out foras a friend. He doesn’t have any special feelings for me, despite what the rumors suggest. | hope you won't get the wrong idea.” Sage smiled when she heard that. “Ms. Shekdotter, your words don’t add up. On one hand, you claim that lan was worried about you, but on the other hand, you also say he doesn’t have any special feelings for you, and you don’t wantto get the wrong idea. Don’t you think that’s a little contradictory?” Ivy's face flushed red. “Mrs. Holcomb, perhaps | didn’t express myself clearly. In short, nothing is going on between lan and I. lan has a lot of work to deal with every day, and | don’t want to add to his troubles.” Sage noted that Ivy was trying to prevent her from quarreling with lan and upsetting him over these trivial matters.
Sage sneered. “How considerate of you. If | didn’t know any better, | might've thought you were his wife.” Ivy, on the other hand, seemed oblivious to her sarcasm. “Honestly, it's as simple as tit for tat. | will naturally treat others the way they treat me.”
