Tiana sounded cool over the phone. “He'll be off work early tomorrow. I'll ask him by then.”She added, “I have something to do now. Let’s meet over dinner if you’re free tomorrow!”“Sure.” Sage stretched after ending the call with Tiana and headed to the bathroom.
She wanted to admire her new cool and sassy self in the mirror. However, she only saw a woman with tousled hair in herreflection. Her face appeared clean, with only some makeup residue in the corners of her eyes.
She had fallen asleep in the car last night, so she assumed that lan had hastily wiped her face with a towel after carrying her intothe room. Being a man, he clearly had no idea how to properly remove makeup.
Even so, she couldn't believe that he had done this. He was obviously in a foul mood at the bar last night. It was already amiracle that he didn’t confront her. Why would he patiently clean her face for her?
But then, she told herself that she didn’t have anything to thank him for. After all, she had taken care of him when he was drunk.She had cleaned his body and removed his clothes. countless times before... It was at that moment she realized that she was inher pajamas. Did lan help her change?
Infuriated, she was about to call him. When she turned around to get her phone, she noticed a suspicious red mark on her napein her reflection. She froze and pushed her hair for a better look.

The red mark was around the size of a thumb. Although it had been inconspicuously hidden under her hair, it was now crystalclear beneath the jarring lights. Frowning, she touched it. It felt neither painful nor itchy.
Although she had not experienced hickeys, she had seen them planted on her college
roommate’s skin by her boyfriend. She remembered that those marks were dark red and hard to hide with concealer. Whenpressed, they were slightly painful.
Since Sage’s mark did not match that description, she let out a sigh of relief and assumed that it was a bug bite.
She believed that lan wasn’t a despicable man who would take advantage of her when she was drunk. But as for the pajamas...Sage made her way downstairs.
When she saw Wanda, she asked, “Wanda, did you help me change last night?”
While cleaning the table, Wanda replied, “Yes. You passed out from the drinking, so Mr. Holcomb wanted me to help you changeinto your pajamas.”

Sage instantly felt relieved. Thank God she didn’t call lan to ask about the pajamas, or he might have sneered and laughed ather.
“Thank you, Wanda,” said Sage before heading upstairs for a bath. She did not notice Wanda hanging her head in guilt.
Calvin was in a good mood because his project proposal had been approved. Seated next to lan in the president's office at theHolcomb Corporation's building, he suggested, “lan, we haven’t had a drink at the bar for a while. How about tonight?”
