Chapter 212

“No wonder she told me I didn’t have to prepare anything. Ian had already taken care of everything,”

Sage brooded.

“What would’ve happened if I hadn’t agreed to come?” she asked.

Tiana responded, “Then, we’d just have to send your belongings back. Easy peasy.”

Sage was at a loss for words.

The rooms here were all unique. It was mostly styled after the ancient Aztec civilization. Even the

corridor floors were made of wooden strips. Sage’s room wasn’t on the same floor as Tiana’s.

Sage found herself in a spacious room with a large bed when she opened the door. There were roses

thoughtfully placed on the neatly made bed, and quite a few rose petals were scattered around. The

various matching decorative items made the room look oddly romantic. Her travel–size suitcase was

beside the cabinet. Sage opened it and found her swimsuit, pajamas, other clothes, skincare, and

makeup products. This was undoubtedly Wanda’s handiwork. Sage realized that everyone, except

herself, knew about her plans for the day. Sage changed into her swimsuit and looked at herself in the

mirror. She felt a little self- conscious as it was showing too much cleavage.

She had bought this swimsuit intending to wear it to the hot springs with Ian. After Ian outright rejected

her, she hid it away and never wore it again. She had no idea that she would look so… seductive and

sexy.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Sage assumed it was Tiana, so she opened the door and

asked, “Tiana, do you think this swimsuit-” She stopped herself short because she noticed that the

person standing before her wasn’t Tiana, but the tall and handsome Ian!

He was dressed casually that day, sporting a white polo shirt and black trousers. It made him. look less

serious than usual and more relaxed and laid back.

Shouldn’t he be soaking in the hot springs or enjoying the finer things in life with his employees at this

hour? Why was he here?

Ian’s dark eyes were also locked onto Sage. The snugness of her swimsuit hugged her curves. and

made her waist look incredibly slender. The black fabric accentuated her fair and slender limbs. Sage

was like a human siren, captivating and soul–stirring.

Involuntarily, his Adam’s apple bobbed, and he felt parched.

“What are you looking at?” Sage snapped, realizing that she was practically half–naked in front of lan.

She covered her chest and tried to close the door, but he beat her to it. He stepped into the room and

closed the door behind him.

“What do you think you’re doing?” Sage demanded, backing away warily.

Ian’s gaze was still glued to her waist. His voice was hoarse as he asked, “Are you planning to

felt when he caught her changing last time.

Her cheeks flushed with anger. “Mind your own business!” Then, she turned on her heel and went

straight into the bathroom, locking the door behind her.

Why did that jerk always appear at the most inappropriate time? He didn’t even say who he was when

he knocked on the door. She didn’t even have time to wrap herself up in a towel

before she opened the door.

Sage was too embarrassed to be seen in her current state. She hid her face in embarrassment as she

thought of his dark and lust–filled gaze.

A moment later, there was a knock on the bathroom door.

“What now?” Sage snapped.

Ian sounded like he had regained his composure. “I had someone bring over another swimsuit for you.

Do you want to open the door so you can take it, or should I leave it outside for you?”
