A Farewell After Being Reborn

“He didn’t say. But for his business trip to Lathuyria, he packed the new clothes and the pen I bought for him.”

At the mention of Lathuyria, Sage calculated the time difference and suddenly thought of something. “Tiana, can’t you take a day off? Why don’t you accompany Wilson on his trip?”

“I don’t have the time. My mother–in–law’s housekeeper is on leave, so I have to go clean and cook for them every day. In the evenings, I even have to do exercises with her.”

“Then, hire a temporary worker to fill in the housekeeper’s role. Go to Lathuyria and be with Wilson,” Sage suggested. “You two haven’t had a honeymoon; now is the perfect time to make up for it.”

Although she was tempted, Tiana turned down the idea. She said, “Nah, my visa has expired. We’ll plan another trip next time.”

“You can renew your visa or at least join a tour group through a travel agency. It’s a great opportunity. Don’t you want to spend some quality time alone with

Wilson?”

Finally, Tiana was convinced. “Should I give it a try?”

“Yes! Right now!” Sage urged.

Tiana found it odd and asked, “You rarely inquire about my husband and me. Why are you suddenly so concerned today?”

Sage remained composed as she answered, “Well, my marriage has been a failure. I just hope my best friend can find some happiness. Is that wrong?”

Tiana couldn’t refute her.

While Sage was never inclined to use emotions and intuition, Tiana found herself persuaded. “You’re right. I’ll look into renewing my visa.”

“Good.” Sage hung up the phone. She felt a bit relieved.

If she remembered the events in her previous life correctly, when Wilson went to Lathuyria on a business trip, he encountered his first love.

Later, his first love was transferred to the hospital where he worked. That became the catalyst for Tiana and Wilson’s marital problems.

Thus, she hoped that Tiana accompanying Wilson this time could change the

course of events.

Having offered the necessary reminders and vented her frustrations, Sage

continued refining the investment plan. She wanted to finish it quickly and hand it over to Shane.

Data analysis might seem mundane, but understanding a company’s operational development through data and making it public–listed was a fascinating and fulfilling endeavor.

After another night of work, Sage finally completed the investment plan. Looking up, she noticed the dawn breaking on the horizon.

Perhaps due to the fatigue wearing off, Sage found herself unable to sleep no matter how she tried. On a whim, she grabbed her camera and headed to the rooftop to capture the sunrise.

The rooftop had a small garden, a swimming pool, and a dedicated relaxation. area, where Sage settled into a reclining chair.

The sunrise was yet to grace the sky, and the morning breeze was cool and refreshing. Leaning on the chair comfortably, she inadvertently dozed off.

By the time Sage opened her eyes, sunlight bathed her entire being. She rubbed

her eyes, stretched lazily, and then noticed a piece of clothing on the floor.

Upon looking down, she found that it was a black suit jacket. The exquisite fabric and meticulous craftsmanship revealed its owner’s status.

Sage went back to the living room while carrying the camera and suit jacket.

Meanwhile, Wanda was watering the plants. When she saw Sage, she exclaimed, ” Mrs. Holcomb, why did you sleep on the rooftop? I couldn’t find you for breakfast. and was quite worried!”

“I wanted to capture the sunrise, but I ended up falling asleep,” Sage confessed while tossing the suit jacket onto the couch. “Wanda, did you bring this up for me?”

“It should have been Mr. Holcomb,” Wanda replied.

“I told him you were missing. He saw that your phone was here and that you hadn’t changed your shoes, so he figured you were at home and made me search every room. I searched for a while, and then he told me that you fell asleep on the rooftop.”

Sage couldn’t help thinking, “Ian came back last night?”

She was too engrossed in her data analysis to notice. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

But what puzzled Sage more was Ian’s reaction to finding her sleeping on the rooftop. Not only did he not wake her, but he also covered her with his suit jacket.
