A Farewell After Being Reborn

Chapter 33 

“Mrs. Holcomb, I have heated up your breakfast. You can have it any time,” Wanda added. 

“Okay. I’ll go freshen up first.” 

Sage took a shower and changed into a clean set of clothes. After dressing up, she planned to have breakfast and then meet up with Shane. 

However, upon walking to her laptop, she noticed that the USB drive plugged into the adjacent port was missing. Sage searched around, but it was nowhere to be found. 

She had stored the investment plan in it last night, so where could it have gone? 

Sage went downstairs and asked Wanda, who shook her head. “You didn’t respond when I knocked on your door this morning. Since the door wasn’t locked, I took a peek but didn’t touch your things.” 

“Did Ian enter my room this morning?” 

Unnerved by Sage’s solemn expression, Wanda responded, “Yes, he did. Mr. Holcomb saw your phone in the room and told me you hadn’t gone out. Mrs. Holcomb, is the USB drive important? Should I help you look for it?” 

The USB drive wasn’t crucial, but the data stored in it was. If Ian were to discover it, all her efforts would be in vain! 2 

“No need. I’ll find it myself.” 

Then, Sage immediately called Ian, but it went unanswered. She silently cursed, ” Damn it, why bother having a phone if you don’t pick up calls?” 

Sage put away her phone, had a quick breakfast, and drove to Holcomb Corporation. 

Arriving at the lobby, Sage thought she might face some obstruction again. 

Nevertheless, it was a different receptionist, and the new face greeted her with a polite smile. 

TIS PARA 

Warm and appropriately welcoming, she said, “Mrs. Holcomb, you’re here. Let me take you to the president’s office right away,” 

Puzzled, Sage asked, “Does lan know I’m coming?” 

The receptionist smiled. “We didn’t receive any notification from Mr. Holcomb, But we have a rule that claims if Mrs. Holcomb visits, no one can stop her. She must be taken to the president’s office immediately.” 

Sage couldn’t believe lan managed to pass such a ridiculous rule. 

“How did you recognize me?” she prompted. 

The receptionist answered, “As part of our training, the first thing we must do is to familiarize ourselves with Holcomb Corporation and the important individuals. 

around Mr. Holcomb.” 

Sage felt even more bewildered. She wasn’t part of Holcomb Corporation, and the significant individuals around lan were even less relevant to her. 

For a moment, she wondered if she had stumbled upon a fake Holcomb 

Corporation. 

“Mrs. Holcomb, this way, please.” The receptionist politely motioned with her 

hand. 

“Okay, thank you.” 

Sage didn’t bother overthinking it. It seemed that, with her title as lan’s wife, the employees had considered her “important” for maintaining overall harmony. 

When she arrived at the president’s office, the secretary informed her that Ian was in a meeting. She was then led to the office and offered tea courteously. 

In the past, Sage could barely enter this floor unless she came with Linda, let alone receive such good treatment. 

Just as Sage was speculating about lan’s conspiracy, the office door suddenly opened. Looking up, she saw lan and Terry entering. Both were dressed smartly. 

Terry was reporting something to lan. Upon seeing her, he politely greeted, “Mrs.. Holcomb.”

Sage smiled in acknowledgment but turned to Ian indifferently. “Did you take my USB drive?” 

Ian’s gaze darkened. He walked to the couch and sat down. Instead of answering, he asked, “Why did you go to the rooftop this morning?” 

Sage scoffed. “Don’t worry. I wasn’t attempting suicide.” 

Ian paused, and his expression turned gloomier. “Sage, the day has just started. Who offended you now?”
