Sage was using an ice pack on Leah’s swollen cheek. Her facial expressions were darkened.
Leah and Zane were in a heated argument just two hours ago. Zane gave a tight-slap on Leah’s cheek.
It was so loud that the entire design department heard it.
Ada, the design director of Norah Jewelry rushed to Sage for two reasons, one to bring her the design
drafts and the other to report what happened between Leah and Zane.
Hunter brought the ice and looked at Leah’s bruised face. He felt sorry for her and the guilt ate him up.
He admitted his mistake,” It’s my fault, Miss Sage. I couldn’t get hold of the situation in time.”
“Of course it was!” Sage glared at Hunter and said coldly, “I’ll forfeit your bonuses for the month.”
Hunter nodded as he accepted the punishment. He felt better for having been reprimanded.
Leah nervously said, “Hey, this isn’t Hunter’s fault, he didn’t do anything wrong…”
“Why didn’t you tell me anything?” Sage frowned and asked Leah, ignoring her.
Leah dared not to say anything as she looked at Sage’s face. She forced a smile and said, “I didn’t
want to bother you with small matters like these. You’re already as busy as you are..
“He hit you in public! Why would you call it a small matter?” Leah said in a stemn tone, “Why on earth
did he do that?”
Leah calmly explained, “His new wife, my new stepmother Gwyneth Holst wanted to work at Norah
Jewelry. My dad tried to arrange it for her, but my master did not approve of her. Recently, she got hold
of the news that I got into Norah Jewelry and she thought my dad arranged it for me.”
Leah added, “She got into a huge argument with my dad and insisted if she wasn’t accepted, then I
shouldn’t be working there as well. Seeing that there was no way she could’ve been accepted, my dad
insisted that I quit my job. I wasn’t willing to, and we got
into an argument and I ended up getting slapped by him.” Sage got more upset the longer she heard
Leah’s story. She frowned and said, “What a useless father. Taking it out on his only daughter instead
of controlling his woman? Bravo!”.
Leah trembled as she saw Sage’s facial expressions, She’d never seen her this upset before.
Hunter immediately understood that it meant upon reading Sage’s face – someone specific is definitely
going on.
“Where is Zane Norah now?” asked Sage.
Hunter answered, “He’s at the Norastar Entertainment offices,” Sage held Leah’s hand and said, “Let’s
go. Let’s see what your no-good of a father is doing right now.”
