This time, Sage did not reject him as she
was in a good mood. “We‘ll have Yoel join us then. I still owe him a meal anyway.”
“Oh!” Jace whined, “Am I like the free item in the buy one free one?”
Sage laughed softly. “It‘s not that bad, is it?”
Jace pursed his lips. He looked as if someone wronged him.
Sage thought that it was an offense for Jace to act adorable in front of her.
Hence, she ignored him and continued watching the program. She used to enjoy watching this type of i
nterview show. As she would be able to learn some life lessons from another person‘s life story or their
point of view.
She had her legs crossed together for some time and her legs felt a little sore. Sage sucked in a breath
and Jace asked, “Feeling a little numb? It‘s not good for your
back if you stay sitting like this for a long time. Try leaning back.”
He grabbed a pillow and put it next to his lap, signaling for Sage to lie down, and took the phone from h
er hands.
“Lie down. I‘ll hold the phone.”
Sage responded, “Uhm, it‘s fine.”
She saw her dad treating her mom this way, but she never received such treatment.
“There‘s only fifteen minutes left before it ends. Let‘s finish it.”
Jace then patted the pillow next to him.
It could be that
Jace‘s low voice was slightly hypnotizing because Sage lied down as she was told. Jace then adjusted
his arms so that Sage could see the screen.
The video was played.
Sage felt slightly embarrassed. Touching the tip of her nose, she murmured, “Be careful, don‘t let the p
hone drop.” “It won‘t.”
Jace added, “I‘m holding it tightly, don‘t worry.“|
Sage wondered to herself, ‘A tight hand grip..was it from all the training?‘
Sage shook her head softly to get rid of the perverted thoughts sprouting in her mind. Jace
noticed and asked, “Is it uncomfortable for you? Is the pillow too low?”
He then moved the pillow onto his lap so that Sage could sit up a little. After a bit of adjustment, Sage f
elt more comfortable in the new position. “Is this more comfortable?” Sage replied, “Mm, much more co
mfortable.”
Sage tapped her feet happily, not being able to hide the happy feelings of being able to lie in such a co
mfortable position.
She had the sudden urge to send a video to her mother to let her know that she too was also receiving
the royal treatment.
In the second half of the interview, Sam stealthily brought up the photo that spread online like wildfire. T
he interview came to its highlight.
Jace and Sage paid full attention. Sam asked, “We found quite a few of your photos recently. The photo
s were rather controversial. May I know if you are the person in the photos?”
Sage responded, “Yes, it‘s me.”
Sam went on, “Are those pictures taken on set? I know that you‘re starring in the movie, The Double Life
Sage replied, “Those photos are taken from the set. I was kidnapped when I was fourteen. Those photo
Sage responded, “Yeah. I didn‘t know that I would be going through that in real life too...”
She then started describing briefly the abduction –
what happened before the abduction, during the abduction, and after the abduction. It was as if she film
“Sage? Sage...”
Jace realized that something was not right and called out to her. As if she awoke from a bad dream, Sag
“It‘s alright. We don‘t have to see it anymore.”
Jace turned off the
video and started comforting Sage. Just when he was about to put away the phone, Sage wrapped her a
around him. “Don‘t go!”
