Chapter 168
Sage gave Shane a call after she left the sports complex. Although she hadn’t spoken to him since he used her to get in lan’sway, Shane was the best person for the job.novelbin
Even though both of them were present at Mimosa’s contract signing, the crowd made it impossible for them to catch up. In notime, his lazy voice came through the phone. “What's up?”
“Do you have a minute to meet up?” she asked.“What's this?” he asked in a flippant tone. “Have you taken an interest in me now that you've given up on lan?”
Sage rolled her eyes and brooded, “I’ve just gotten rid of an arrogant guy, and here comes another shameless one. Don’t worry.I'm not interested in men anymore, especially thick- skinned and conceited ones like you.”
“Damn. What's got you all worked up?”“| don’t have time for this. I’ve got something important to talk to you about.”“Come over to my office then.”
Sage hung up and went straight to Shane’s office. When she walked in, he was still as carefree as ever. He had his long legspropped up on the desk as he watched a video on his phone.
Sage recognized the familiar melody of “Hotel California” and walked over to take a closer look. Shane was watching the video ofher drumming.
She decided to use his words against him.“Do you have a crush on me, Mr. Morrison? Why are you watching my video alone inyour office?”
He wasn’t the least bit bothered when he teard fier. Instead, he arched his brow and quipped, ” To be honest, | wouldn’t mind ifyou wanted to be with me after you dump lan. After all,
you're pretty talented.”
“Thanks, but I'll pass,” she said without hesitation.“What does he have that I don’t?”
“An ego check, for starters.”
“Eventually, you'll realize that having thicker skin is an advantage.” Shane tossed his phone aside. “Alright, let's get down tobusiness. What brings you here?”
Sage pulled out her phone and opened a document. “Does this look familiar to you?”He glanced at it. “Isn’t that the pharmaceutical research facility lan invested in?”13
She inquired, “I’m sure you must be interested in this project, right? After all, you did bring me to sabotage lan and ProfessorBraun's dinner appointment the last time.”
Shane chuckled. “Oh, Mrs. Holcomb, what are you playing at? What does it matter if I’m interested in it or not? lan has alreadyinvested in it.”
Whenever he wanted to taunt her, he would address her as “Mrs. Holcomb” instead of “Ms. Joyner*.“Jan has only invested in its initial development. The institution will surely require a few more rounds of financing after this.”
Shane’s patience was wearing thin. “Clearly, you haven't done your research. lan’s investment was for personal reasons, notbecause he believed in the project. It’s not easy to introduce a new drug to the market. Sure, you'll make a name for yourself andearn a lot of moolah if you succeed. But if you fail, it will all be for naught.”
In short, he wasn’t interested.
Sage was well aware that the drug had promising prospects. However, Henry's decision to charge a high price sparkedwidespread criticism.

“There’s no doubt that the drug is effective. It will be a big hit once it's launched on themarket.”Her confident demeanor prompted Shane to agree, albeit reluctantly.
