Dave had offended Sage and was not even given a chance to eat. He was furious because of the
humiliation he faced in front of the client.
He sat in the car with a grim face on the way back. He was so angry that Sienna was scared and dared
not even breathe.
Sienna knew she was in trouble. She would have been leaning on him and coaxing him softly on any
other day, but she was very distracted. she had been in a daze since she saw Jace and Sage earlier.
The image of Jace and Sage filled her mind, making her feel uncomfortable.
It was unpleasant.
Dave sat in the passenger seat and ordered his driver in a deep, muffled voice, “Lynch, stop the car
and go for a smoke.”
The car stopped by the side of the road. Sienna looked out the window and did not know where she
was. When she saw a familiar-looking bush, she vaguely knew it was near the apartment.
Ten minutes to the east from here was a middle-to-high-end community. It was also the place where
Dave used to hide his mistress.
Well, she was his mistress.
The treatment she received was much worse than her previous lovers. However, it was difficult for her
to win against a man like him. “Ah!” Sienna whimpered in pain when he grabbed her hair. She saw his
menacing cold eyes when he pulled back her head.
As she realized what Dave was about to do, her heart trembled.
“Honey…” She knew how to handle this situation. She knew she must never try to provoke an angry
man. She always tried to coax them so that she would suffer less.
Dave was rough. He pulled her hair to hold her down on her knees. Then, he squeezed her cheek with
his large hand.
“What did you call me?” Dave narrowed his eyes. He was very different from the friendly and flattering
Dave in front of Sage.
Most businessmen were eccentric, short-tempered, and unpredictable. It was Sienna’s first time seeing
him so angry. She faltered and called out to him again, “Honey…” Before she could finish speaking,
she got slapped heavily on her face, which knocked her to the side.
“Argh!” Sienna yelped in pain with glazed eyes. Then, the man pulled her by the hair again. Dave
grabbed her by the neck and pinned her to the seat, making her gasp for air.
Dave spat in her face and cursed, “Who do you think you are to call me Honey? If my wife allowed me
to go home, do you think you’ll ever serve me? Feeding you is no different from
feeding a cat. It’s just a matter of some money. How dare you think highly of yourself and use my name
to show your power outside? You made me offend Miss Sage. Can you f*cking pay for my loss?” He
grabbed her by the neck and pushed her hard against the window. Sienna felt like her neck and head
were about to break as she gasped for air.
“Ugh…” She shook her head desperately and tried to beg for mercy, but no sound came out.
Then came the sound of her clothes ripped apart.
Dave sat there and held Sienna’s head down. He leaned his head on the back seat and closed his
eyes while thinking about how to save the situation today. It was a bad idea to offend Sage. Moreover,
he could not afford to offend her.
It took him years to barely make a name for himself in Salem City as a jewelry maker. At least, he
made his name known to Sage. However, he was nowhere close to being associated with her.
A few years ago, Braxton almost destroyed the Norah Group. He took the chance and let his company
Golding Shiny Jewelry rise in the market. He thought he could make his company the industry
benchmark during the Norah Group’s downfall. He did not expect Sage’s sudden return. After that, she
kept making big moves and made Norah Group the wealthiest company in the area again. Dave
admired Sage a lot. After all, Norah Jewel was beyond his reach.
