Chapter 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 time for him to feel the same frustration.
Sage silenced her phone before heading out. Sage spotted a familiar figure when she arrived at Collin’s 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.

“Ian was also just looking out for me as a friend. He doesn’t have any special feelings for me, despite what the rumors suggest. I hope you won’t get the wrong idea.”

Sage noted that Ivy was trying to prevent her from quarreling with Ian and upsetting him over these trivial matters.
Sage sneered. “How considerate of you. If I didn’t know any better, I might’ve thought you were his wife.”
