Chapter 210

Jace froze.

It was clear that she was ignoring him blatantly and did not wish to interact with him at all.

What should he do? Jace who could easily handle challenging and tricky situations had zero
experience in cheering up a lady. He was overwhelmed and his hands were tied.

Seeing how the situation was unfolding, the backstage staff members broke into a cold sweat for Jace.

Those who did not know who Jace was started whispering amongst themselves. “Is he nuts? How did
he think of coming all the way here to see Miss Sage?” “I must admit that he’s got the looks but his EQ
is quite meh, ain’t it? Why is he embarrassing himself when Miss Sage has made it clear that she
doesn’t want to talk to him?”

“Judging from his outfit, I can’t even tell what his identity is. He can forget about pursuing Miss Sage if
he is not wealthy enough.”

“I bet he’s just a pretty boy who is going after Miss Sage’s fortune. Tsk, does he think that he is
deserving of Miss Sage? He should probably just give up.” On the other hand, those who recognized
Jace judged him. “Mister Jace had shown up at the wrong time to be asking for Miss Sage’s
forgiveness.” When it came to her work, Sage would not care about anything or anyone else. It was
already kind enough of Sage to not have him thrown out of the building.

Perhaps it was not because she was kind enough to do so, but she was simply busy.

The onlookers could not help but feel bad for Jace.



As the tension grew in the room, there was an uproar of applause coming from outside. The press
launch had ended successfully and Hunter walked over to get Sage. When he saw Jace, Hunter looked
greatly startled.



When did Jace show up? And why did he show up at this time? “Inform the sales department to launch
the purchase channel and have the marketing department start the necessary preparations too.” Sage
gave out orders and did not even care to look at Jace. She was literally treating him like air.

Jace, on the other hand, did not feel awkward at all.

Once Sage had left, he sat down on the sofa and silently watched her as she handled matters.

He even took out his phone, sent a link to the family group chat, and added a message: [Sage’s
company has released a new series of jewelry. Do show her some support.] Jace too also clicked on
the link and bought all the newly released jewelry as Zayne watched him silently and thought to himself
that Jace was finally heeding his advice. It seemed as if Jace did listen and took the advice that he had
given on their drive to Salem City Zayne felt confident that he would be receiving a bonus for his year-
end pay.

…

The press release for Norah Jewelry was successfully concluded. As soon as the products were
released onto the market, there was an overwhelming response and orders from the public. Sage along
with the rest of the people from the upper management was busy overseeing the entire process. The
meeting and supervision went on until late noon and Sage had completely forgotten about Jace who
had been waiting for her backstage. At night, Sage attended a dinner gathering with her employees
and even stayed behind to work overtime. She did not even have time to take a breather. “Ma’am,”



While Sage was eating, Hunter walked over to her and reported, “Mister Jace is still backstage waiting
for you. He wants to know if you’re hungry and asks if you want to have a meal with him.”

Sitting on a small stool, Sage was busy replying to emails and messages and annoyance was written
all over her face. “Ask him to leave after dinner. I’m really busy and I don’t have the time to tend to
him.”
