“Did the interview end?”
Jace walked toward her, it was all so natural to him, like a boyfriend visiting his
girlfriend during work. His assistant brought tea, pastries, and cupcakes for the team while Jace passed
the cup of frappe he bought to Sage. “Cookies whipped cream, Faye said this was the best.”
Sage took it and before she could say anything, Jace added, “Even though I want you to put on some
weight, one cup of frappe isn‘t going to make you fat, so don‘t worry.” Was that really what Sage cared
about at that moment?
Sage looked up and glared jokingly at Jace, “Why are you here? Shouldn‘t you be home with grandpa
and grandma?” “They said I‘m a bother and kicked me out.”
Jace crouched and took the frappe from Sage‘s hand as he poked a straw into the cup and gave it bac
k to her, “I came to console you too.” “I‘m not angry, why do I need to be consoled?”
Sage slurped the frappe, it was sweet but not overly so, delicious. Jace nodded,
“Right, you have a good temper, great.”
Sage puffed her cheeks up, that did not feel sincere to her at all. Jace turned to look at Samantha and
stood up, “Thank you for coming all the way here, Miss Holland.”
“You‘re most welcome, Mister Jace. We want to thank Miss Sage for cooperating so well with us.”
Samantha smiled and
continued, “To be frank with you, we were pretty nervous about this session, but it turned out to be a re
ally pleasant session. The
result should reflect that as well. We‘ll send over the final draft for you to go through when we’re done
with editing, let us know if there are any changes you‘d like to be
made then.” “Alright,” Jace and Sage nodded as they hummed yes.
Samantha then said to Jace, “I wonder when I‘ll get to interview you again, Mister Jace. I‘m interested i
n your experience of escaping death.”
“Soon.”
Jace continued, “I need more time to rest and recover.”
“Understood.”
Samantha nodded, looked at the pair in front of her, and noticed how great they looked together. “I‘m al
so planning on doing an interview session of a couple, unmarried, married,
or divorced, are the both of you interested?”
Jace and Sage were both stunned and speechless, they looked at each other and paused before Jace
responded, “Maybe after we get married.”
Sage almost spat out her frappe.
That man sure was hopeful! After the interview team left, Sage asked Jace, “Did you ask Miss Holland to
“I was interviewed by Samantha before and she left a really good impression on me. I feel that it‘d be be
interviewed, that way the public gets to know who you are, instead of being bombarded with questions b
journalists. How do you feel after the interview?”
“Same as you, it was pleasant,” Sage said as she looked down and slurped her frappe.
Jace listened to her tone and noticed something was off, her demeanor was off as well.
Jace thought back on what he said and waved his hands immediately and added, “No no no, when I sai
Sage listened to him blabbered on and stared at him as she munched on the straw.
She released the straw and pursed her lips, “Did I overthink, or did you?”
Jace was at a loss of words. He looked at her with doubts in his eyes, “You sure you‘re not jealous?”
