A Farewell After Being Reborn

“Don’t worry,” Giselle said, a pained expression on her delicate 1. “I wouldn’t dare to mess

with her with you here.”

“That’s what I thought.” Shane scoffed. Then, his expression changed drastically as he turned to Sage. “Don’t worry. I’ll wait over there. Just call me if you need anything.”

Sage rolled her eyes at him and ignored him. The man walked away, glancing back every few

steps.

Giselle took a deep breath and said, “So we’ve met again, Ms. Joyner.” Her eyes shone with determination as if she had come to terms with something. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Sage couldn’t bear to see the young lady’s crestfallen face. Hence, she cut to the chase. “Shane was just spouting nonsense, Ms. Rosethorn. Please don’t take it to heart. Also, I lied to you. He

has no feelings for me at all.

“He threatened me into coming here today. Feel free to court him if you like him. I will never be an obstacle in your relationship, so please don’t see me as your rival.”

Giselle seemed unfazed when she heard that. She replied, “Ms. Joyner, I’ve looked into your situation. I know you’re married, and you’re not into Shane. However, I also know that Shane ruined your marriage.”

That was a complete misunderstanding of her situation. Sage sighed, feeling drained. “Ms. Rosethorn, whether my husband and I get divorced or not has nothing to do with Shane.”

“I’m aware that there’s a deep–seated conflict between Shane and your husband. Those two have always been at odds,” Giselle continued. “Hence, he wouldn’t get too close to you. You should be grateful that he didn’t take his anger out on you.”

Even though it wasn’t the right time, Sage couldn’t help but ask, “Do you know what their conflict is about?”

In her previous life, Shane and Ian were rivals in the business world. In this life, both of them still didn’t see eye to eye.

Giselle hadn’t expected the conversation to take such a sharp turn. “That’s not the point here, Ms. Joyner,” she reminded.

Yet, that was what Sage wanted to know. “Ms. Rosethorn, have you ever considered the possibility that Shane might be using me as a shield to reject your marriage proposal?” she asked since she couldn’t get any useful information from Giselle.

“But there’s plenty of other women he could use! Why would he have to use you?” Giselle persisted. “There are plenty of women around him. Yet, I’ve never felt threatened because I

know he doesn’t care about them. But I can tell at a glance that you’re different to Shane, Ms.

Joyner.”

Sage shook her head as she thought, “Love really does make people blind.”

She didn’t want to waste her breath on Giselle anymore. “So, what is it that you’d like to talk to me about, Ms. Rosethorn?”

There was a tinge of sadness in Giselle’s eyes as she responded, “I was hoping you could do me a favor, Ms. Joyner.”

Sage hurriedly said, “Don’t worry. I won’t contact Shane privately or agree to his ‘pursuit.”

“That’s not it…” Giselle took a deep breath and continued, “Could you teach me how to win him over?”

Sage was at a loss for words. How did she end up in such a preposterous situation? How was she supposed to know how to win Shane over? She had no experience in that department.

“Ring, ring! Cutie, your phone is ringing!” Just then, her phone rang.

Sage breathed a sigh of relief when she noticed Ian’s number. “Honey!” she deliberately called out as she answered the phone.
