A Relentless Pursuit for Love novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209

Leah looked more calm and steady on stage compared to when she was backstage. She was able to reply to the reporters’ and host’s questions eloquently, especially when asked about the concept and the story behind her designs, Leah’s eyes were lit up. “She looks so young and full of vigor! It’s so good to be young, isn’t it?” Looking at Leah, Sage was reminded of her younger self. Back then, her eyes too were filled with light. But since when did the light in her eyes slowly dim? Hunter, on the other hand, had his eyes glued onto Leah and he was full of smiles. Sage caught a glimpse of him, smiled, and asked, “Do you like it?” “I do.”

Hunter replied instinctively. Shortly after, he quickly realized that he had just answered Sage’s question without thinking it through. The-smile froze on his face as he turned around and clarified, “Ma’am, 1…” “Why are you all nervous?”

Glancing one that I have in mind.” Scratching the back of his head, Hunter was slightly embarrassed. “…” “Someone is finally willing to open up his heart.” Sage smiled and went on, “One of the best feelings in this world is that the person you like, likes you back too. If you do like her, you should go after her. What’s there to be worried about?

Hunter’s eyes lit up. He had never once thought that Sage would actually agree with him pursuing Leah which was precious to her. But in just a few seconds, with a straight face, Sage added sternly, “I don’t mind that you want to pursue Leah but two things that you should keep in mind: One, don’t let it interfere with your work, two, don’t dare to bully her. You know better what happens if you bully her.” “Yes ma’am!” Hunter could not hide the happiness in his voice. “Don’t worry, I will not let this affect my work and I will be sure to treat Leah well!”

“Look at you all happy,” Sage scolded playfully. Just when she turned around wanting to return to her seat, Sage met Jace’s eyes. He looked gentle and was wearing a smile on his face. “Congratulations.” Sage, on the other hand, had her eyebrows knitted into a frown. “How did you get inside here?”

Jace replied nonchalantly, “I told the security that I’m your boyfriend and they let me in right away.”

Sage’s brows furrowed even tighter. Looking at him indifferently, she replied, “I don’t have a boyfriend. You can leave now.” She then walked past him, sat down on the sofa, and continued watching the live streaming of the press launch. Ada was the one being interviewed now. Standing behind her, the smile on Jace’s face froze slowly as his entire body tensed up. His face was gloomy and overcast. Could it be that Sage was still mad about what happened during the call? Walking toward her, Jace tried to explain himself, “I was too worked up when I called you the other day. I was just worried that you’d be hurt and wanted to ask if you needed any help…I didn’t mean anything else…”

“Mister Jace, as you can see, I am quite busy now and I don’t have the time to be chattering with you.”

Rather annoyed, Sage cut him off and added, “Please leave if there’s nothing else.” Sage was asking him to leave, coldly.
