Tan looked at Sage, who was eager to draw a line between them. He thought she was still mad about what happened earlier.

“Why can’t I invite her?” Sage shot back. “She’s not the one at fault now, is she? In fact, she’s the heroine who stepped up to carry the burden known as Mimosa after enduring her husband’s betrayal. Not many people possess her courage. What’s wrong with me wanting to help her out?”

Ian just stared at Sage. “Do you really not have other motives for doing that?”

Sage had worn a pair of high heels just to match her gown. Thanks to that, the gap in height between her and Ian was slightly decreased. She could easily meet Ian’s eyes just by tilting her head slightly.

“Don’t worry. Even if I do, those motives won’t harm Holcomb Corporation at all.
