Chapter 553

The two men started laughing as they played the imitation game. Jace could not help but
laugh as well, being reminded of Sage’s bad-mouthing skills.

As soon as Jace laughed, Hunter and Louis had to contain themselves and immediately switch their
tone around.

“But of course, Miss Sage did it for our own good.”

“That’s right. We’ll forever be grateful for Miss Sage’s kindness.”

Louis looked at Jace with guilt written all over his face. “I sounded genuine, right, Mister Jace?

Jace shook his head and said, “No, it didn’t sound like it.”

Hunter and Louis had no words.

“How dare you badmouth the boss behind her back? Are you trying to lose your job?” Hunter was a
step ahead of Louis. Louis squinted his eyes and said, “You were the one who started it, Hunter.”
“What? Is that so? How could it be? I have all the respect for Miss Sage.” Hunter defended himself
anxiously. Louis added quickly, “Me too! I’ll follow Miss Sage for as long as I live!” As the two men went
back and forth, Sage arrived with her two bodyguards.

A surge of wind passed through the room as she opened the door.

Sage was wearing a hoodie and a leather mini skirt with a pair of hoop earrings , looking cool and
unapproachable. “Miss Sage!” Hunter and Louis’ muscles tightened, and in an instant as they stood up
straight as a ruler. Sage looked calmly at them and said, “Why do you both have that look on your
faces? Have you been bad mouthing me?”



“No!” Hunter and Louis answered as they shook their heads aggressively and smiled politely “Of course
not, Miss Sage. Why would we ever?”

“That’s right. We’d never be so ungrateful and forget about everything you’ve done for us, Miss Sage.”

Sage glared at them as if she could look right through their lies.

The air was getting thinner in the room when Jace took over and said, “They were praising how
dominant and capable of a boss you are. I’ve been trying to get them to work for me and even offered
them big bucks, but they wouldn’t even budge.” “You’re trying to steal my men?” Sage frowned upon
hearing that and chuckled lightly. She looked over at Hunter and Louis and said to them, “Don’t say I
never give you any opportunities. Do you want to work for Mister Jace? You can go for it if you’re
interested, I won’t stop you.”

“Mister Jace, thank you for the opportunity, but I’m trying to get married soon,” said Hunter.

“I appreciate the opportunity, Mister Jace. But a fortune teller once told me that I’ll only ever be
successful if I work for a beautiful woman. So… I’m destined to be working with Miss Sage in this life.”

Jace shook his head defeatedly upon hearing the absurd lies. Jace had nothing to say except to wish
them a successful and bright future. Hunter and Louis left the room shortly after making sure everything
in the room was taken care of.

Jace could not contain his laughter and said to Sage, “Your assistants are fun and mischievous, just
like you.”

Sage stared quietly at him. “Mister Jace, please watch your words around me. This is inappropriate.”
Jace smiled and said, “Okay.”
