Chapter 126 Henry was an expert at leading people on. Instead of jumping at the opportunity right away, he responded coolly, “Why don’t you send me the location, Sage? I’ll check it out.” Sage smiled. “Sure.” After hanging up the phone, she sent over the name of the gym. After all, she had to get to know him better to keep track of his and Layla’s progress. It would be even better if she could get him to work for her. Henry replied almost instantly. “Thanks, Sage.” “You’re welcome. By the way, I would appreciate it if you refrain from calling me by my name since you and Layla haven’t made things official yet.
