After the meeting, Sage led her assistants to the CEO‘s office. As soon as she stepped int
o the office, she stopped at the door.
She had never been to Jace‘s office, so she did not know what it looked like. It should
be similar to his study with a masculine monotone palette... right?
Her new office was different from her expectation. It was similar to her office in Norah Group. It was dec
orated in an antique style
with mahogany tables, chairs, and paintings that could be seen on the wall. There was also a wine
cooler and a pair of slippers in the office.
Sage turned to Zayne, “Assistant Zayne, did you do this for me?”
Zayne folded his hands and nodded slightly. “Yes. Time was
limited, so I had someone come over and put up the wallpaper made
with environmentally friendly materials. I got this mahogany table, chairs, and coffee table from the furni
ture shop. As for the paintings on the wall, I requested the calligraphy from Wayne and the painting fro
m Mister Mendoza. These other few paintings are my humble works. I put them up to fill the space.
If you don‘t like it, I‘ll have them removed.”
“Did you paint this?” Sage walked in, took off her high heels, and put on the slippers. She put her hand
s in her pockets and took a closer look at the two paintings on the wall.
Zayne glanced back and gave Henry and Zachary a look. They continued to set up what they had to do
, while Zayne walked up to Sage in small steps.
“Yes, I did. After I worked with Mister Jace, I learned to appreciate art more. I also enrolled in an art sch
ool and learned to paint for a few years. Otherwise, I wouldn‘t be able to comment on the paintings upo
n Mister Jace‘s request.”
Zayne tucked his hand with a smile. He became a little nervous when he saw Sage staring at the painti
ng for a long time without saying a word.
“As compared to you, my painting skills are at most at the basic level. I‘m sure we‘ll come across nicer
paintings soon. I‘ll take it down right away and not let them be an eyesore for you.
“No, keep it.” Sage finally spoke and looked at Zayne. “Assistant Zayne, you‘re talented.” Zayne was co
nfused. Was it a praise or a critique if it came from her?
Sage was praising him. Sage finally understood why a man as bad–
tempered as Jace could keep Zayne
by his side for that many years. Zayne‘s attention to detail and thoughtfulness were a great example to
other assistants. Sage took out her phone and took two photos of Zayne‘s paintings. Then, she sent th
em to Hunter.
(Sage: Zayne drew these. Aren‘t they great?] Hunter was having a meeting with his department manag
ers when Sage sent him the message.
His first reaction to it was to silently curse However, he was now the vice CEO, he had to maintain his d

Therefore, he sent Sage
a reply with an expressionless face. It was an emoji of a person wiping his tears with a handkerchief. Sa
