Chapter 369

“Jace, please excuse me for a moment. I have some family matters to attend to.” With that said, Wayne
picked up a long wooden stick from the corner. He tried it on his hand and walked out of the workshop.

Jace frowned, and no one could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his face.

At the CEO’s office, Sage officially took over the position of chairman of the board soon after she
kicked Braxton out. However, since she had just started, the Chairman’s office had to be renovated so
she could only work from the CEO’s office. = It was a sight to see the forever busy Hunter stay in the
CEO’s office for a long time without going out. The employees in the office started to speculate what
could be the reason for that.

“Hunter had gone in for a long time, and he has not even come out once. Could there be another tricky
project? Come on, please, I have only rested for two days.”

Louis was holding a pen with his right hand and a dumbbell with his left hand. He said without raising
his head, “Did you see the look on his face when he entered the office? It was like he was guilty as
charged. I guess he must have done something wrong.” —

“Didn’t Miss Sage just deduct his quarterly bonus? He can say goodbye to his year-end bonus if he
makes a mistake again.”

“Let’s make a bet. Which precept do you think he will break this time?”

“I guess it’s sexual lust.”

“Hold it! Don’t laugh!”



Hunter stood obediently in front of the table like a student being punished. His heels started to hurt.
Under Sage’s scrutiny, he explained the whole story before Sage started to interrogate him. In short,
the kiss was an accident. Leah was drunk, and he was taken advantage of, but he did not feel that he
was at a disadvantage.

After explaining, Sage ignored him and just let him continue standing and embarrassed him.

“Miss Sage, why don’t I go do my work first?” Finally, Hunter took out his courage to ask as he was
thinking about how to make a run for it. It was a waste of his time just standing there. There were many
errands and work waiting for him. Followingly what he said, Sage slammed the document on the table
side and glared at Hunter coldly. Hunter immediately shut his mouth tight and lowered his head to show
that he knew he was wrong



“Forget about your work now. What do you mean by you were taken advantage of?” Sage asked coldly.

Hunter started to panic and finally understood what he had done wrong. He quickly made corrections, “I
was wrong, I said it wrongly. It was I who did it wrongly and let Leah accidentally take advantage of
me…”

Peeking at Sage’s expression, he changed his statement again. “Of course, I was very happy to be
taken advantage of. Although I did not do anything to her, it did not mean that I did not want to do
anything to her…”

The more Hunter tried to explain, the more mistakes he made. Suddenly, he knew he could not
continue dwelling on the explanation any longer. He straightened up his back and shouted,” Miss Sage,
I have decided to court Leah officially and make her my wife. I will confirm our dating relationship as
soon as possible. I hope you will congratulate us!”



It was so loud that all of the assistants in the office could hear it very clearly. All of them had their
mouths opened wide and then high five each other.

“I was right! It really is sexual lust! Give me the money, fifteen dollars per person.”

Sage looked at Hunter, who had bowed down at a ninety-degree angle. She slightly sighed and smiled.
“Isn’t that easy? Why did you have to go through the effort of explaining it to me? Get out and go do
your job!”

“Yes!” Hunter knew that Sage had agreed and walked out of the office with a big smile on his face.

A few seconds after he went out, he quickly went back in with a serious look on his face. “Miss Sage,
something happened at Rosa Garden. Braxton went to the house to look for trouble. He refused to
comply with punishment according to the family law and hit Grandpa!”

Sage’s face sunk, and she stood up immediately. “How is Grandpa?”

“He was sent to the hospital, but I don’t have any other details.” “Prep the car. We are going to the
hospital!”
