A Farewell After Being Reborn

Chapter 168

Sage gave Shane a call after she left the sports complex. Although she hadn’t spoken to him since he used her to get in Ian’s way, Shane was the best person for the job.

Even though both of them were present at Mimosa’s contract signing, the crowd made it impossible for them to catch up. In no time, his lazy voice came through the phone. “What’s up?”

“Do you have a minute to meet up?” she asked.

“What’s this?” he asked in a flippant tone. “Have you taken an interest in me now that you’ve given up on Ian?”

Sage rolled her eyes and brooded, “I’ve just gotten rid of an arrogant guy, and here comes another shameless one. Don’t worry. I’m not interested in men anymore, especially thick- skinned and conceited ones like you.”

“Damn. What’s got you all worked up?”

“I don’t have time for this. I’ve got something important to talk to you about.”

“Come over to my office then.”

Sage hung up and went straight to Shane’s office. When she walked in, he was still as carefree as ever. He had his long legs propped up on the desk as he watched a video on his phone.

Sage recognized the familiar melody of “Hotel California” and walked over to take a closer look. Shane was watching the video of her drumming.
