Chapter 77
Shane lazily swiveled in his office chair as he said, “Why don’t we let her introduce herself to you?”
Sage had never encountered such a crazy thing in her life. Did she have to kick away Shane’s admirer as a married woman herself?
Sage met the woman’s suspicious gaze and asked, “Would you believe me if I told you that I have nothing to do with Mr. Morrison and that I’m not here of my own volition?”
The woman clearly didn’t buy it. She even sneered, “Do you think I’m an idiot? You must be here to pester Shanie.
“Women like you think you can seduce him all because you’re pretty. You’ve even come all the way here to his office. Didn’t you hear that he has a fiancée already?”
Sage didn’t expect that the person Shane wanted her to kick out of his office would be his
own fiancée!
“I’m so sorry, I-“Sage was about to explain herself when Shane shot her a warning look. Sage had no choice but to change her rhetoric. “I didn’t want to interfere with your relationship either, but Shane insisted on pursuing me. I’ve tried all manner of ways, but I just can’t make him stop.”
Shane’s eyebrow raised upon hearing this. He shot Sage a look.
Sage calmly met his gaze. “I would be deeply grateful if you could persuade him to stop. pursuing me.”
The woman reacted as if she’d heard a great joke. “He’s pursuing you? What kind of nonsense is this? Shane Morrison from the Morrison family is pursuing a woman like you?”
Sage nodded. “I’m not sure what’s wrong with his taste in women, but he just won’t let me off the hook. I can prove it to you if you don’t believe me.”
Sage then walked over to the office door. The two bodyguards there stopped her way, looking determined not to let her leave.
“Do you see now?” Sage said in exasperation. “Mr. Morrison won’t let me leave no matter
what.
The woman glared at Shane. “Why won’t you let her go, Shanie? Do you really fancy her?”

Shane didn’t answer. He looked at Sage with an amused expression, which Sage returned with nothing but exasperation on her face.
To Giselle Rosethorn, Shane’s response was equivalent to an acquiescence.
“If you really do like another woman now, what’ll happen to our engagement? Don’t tell me you plan to break it off?” Giselle scowled angrily.
Shane finally said in an annoyed tone, “I never said I wanted to marry you. It was our families‘ elders who decided that. I had nothing to do with it.”
“What do you mean the engagement has nothing to do with you? All of our friends and family already bore witness during our engagement dinner. You’re my fiancé. It’s no use even if you hide here in Haldon City.”
“What is this, Mr. Morrison? You’ve already had an engagement dinner, yet you’re still denying that you have a fiancée?”
Sage’s expression was exaggerated. “You’re a terrible man. I will never accept someone like you! Besides, my heart already belongs to another, so you’d best just stay with your fiancée.”
“She already has someone she loves, yet you’re still pursuing her? When did you stoop so low, Shanie?” Giselle asked in disbelief.
Shane ignored Giselle and continued gazing vaguely at Sage. “So what if you have someone you love? As long as you’re here, don’t even think of escaping to anywhere else.”
Even Sage found Shane’s words somewhat outrageous, not to mention someone like Giselle, who had no idea what was really going on.
“Please don’t do this to me, Mr. Morrison. Just let me go.”

Shane snickered. “I really can’t do that.”
Giselle
grew more uncomfortable the more she listened to Shane and Sage’s conversation and watched their interactions. She had so many ways to get rid of women who pestered Shane, but none to stop Shane from liking someone else.
