Chapter 128 “Mr. Holcomb! Ms. Shekdotter has just fainted! Please cover as soon as possible!” the person on the other end of the line said urgently.

lan’s forehead creased when he heard that. “Alright.” He then put his phone away and glanced al Sage.

Without a word, he changed quickly and walked straight out the door.

Sage was close by and heard everything that had been said. Of course, she knew exactly where he was going.

Her grandfather had asked her to give their marriage another chance because he could tell lan cared about her.

But why the hell would she want to give another chance to a man who dropped everything for another woman just because of a damn phone call? Meanwhile, in the hospital, Ivy clutched her bruised elbow and said apologetically, “I'm so sorry to bother you at this hour. | just wanted to stretch my legs a little, but | got dizzy and fell. | only passed out for a few minutes, but the nurse made a big deal out of it.” lan’s brows knitted. “There are nurses everywhere here. Why'd you get out of bed by yourself? “I want to speed up my recovery and get out of the hospital as soon as possible. | need to see if | can salvage the Mimosa project,” she explained.

“Don’t worry about it. It’s just one project. Bolton Investment will be fine without it,” he responded.

“I wouldn't care if someone else invested in it, but it's clear that Shane's just attempting to one-up you,” she insisted.

“I heard you called your subordinates in for a meeting this afternoon?” lan asked. “Shane’s. been attempting to underminefor a while now. Even if he snags this project, it doesn’t mean he'll be able to beat me. B Hand over the company’s affairs to your subordinates for now and focus on recovering. Uncle. Ron's out of town, but he has calledseveral times to askto take care of you. He'd rush right back if he found out you were acting so recklessly.” Ivy smiled gently when he mentioned her father. “My dad just worries too much. Thank you, lan. | won't worry you and my dad anymore.” lan glanced at his wristwatch. “Unless you need anything else, | need to get going.” “Hold on, lan,” Ivy called out.

She took out a boxout from the bedside drawer and said, “I picked this pair of earrings out for Sage. She must be feeling down these days because of me. Please give them to her.” He looked at the deep red brocade box, which held a pair of diamond earrings shaped like delicate orchids. They were simple yet elegant and shimmered brightly under the light. “Girls love receiving gifts. | know you’re busy and wouldn't notice these little things, so | +16 BONUS picked them out and had the store deliver them,” Ivy added.

He hadn't given Sage anything before besides a card. Sage had gotten upset with him about this several times in the past.

“How much is it? I'll Venmo you,” he said.

“Don’t worry about it, lan. After all, you helped my dad secure such a huge project last time. and even gave him a birthday gift. | haven't had a chance to thank you yet, so consider this my way of doing so.” lan put the earrings away. “Those are two different things. | compensated you with the project. and gave your father a gift because it was common courtesy.” “Do you really have to be so square with me?” Ivy fumed. “I gave you those earrings to pass on to Sage as a token of goodwill. Why are you turning it into a transaction? | wouldn't have asked you to do this if Sage hadn't misunderstood me!” lan thought of the wry smile on Sage’s lips when he left and decided to accept the earrings.
