Chapter 24
Hearing Yoel gloat, Jace had a sudden urge to end the call.
However, he still needed a favor from Yoel. Holding back, he asked, “How much do you know about Sage Norah?”
“I don't. To be exact, I know just as much as you do. She is the eldest daughter of the Norahs, and she is also the CEO of the Norah Group, and that is all I know.”
Putting on the shirt that Sage had given him as compensation, Yoel observed himself in the mirror. He smirked and added, “Oh and one more thing, your ex-wife has good taste.”
Jace misunderstood He thought that Yuriel was referring to Sages choice in a husband, and he felt slightly better for some reason. Clearing his throat, he added, “Help me to look into it.”
“Look into who? Sage Norah?” asked Yoel.
With Jace's soft yes’, Yoel chuckled, “Bro, listen. As your friend and colleague of many years, I have to remind you that no matter who Sage Norah is, she and you are divorced. Plus, aren't you getting married soon? Why are you still thinking about your ex-wife? It's unethical to have your heart in two different places.”
Yoel's advice made Jace feel uncomfortable. His face turned dark and gloomy again, and he ended the call abruptly.
Even though Yoel's words were hard to swallow, they served as a reminder.
It did not matter if she were Sage Luz or Sage Norah; they were divorced and were part of the past. There was no need to further involve himself in her life. The person he loved and wanted to spend the rest of his life with was Sienna.
As soon as the thought of Sienna crossed his mind, his phone rang. It was Sienna who was calling. He answered. A sweet voice drifted to him from the other side of the line. “Jace, where are you? I have chosen a bridal gown, and I was wondering if you wanted to come and have a look at it? Also, our venue has been decorated, but they did a lousy job. They decorated the place with red roses, don't you think it's too gaudy? I mean who even likes roses nowadays? I've asked them to change the flowers to magnolia instead, what do you think?”
Jace hesitated before saying, “I'm fine with anything as long as you're happy.”
“Hehe, I know you love me the most. I've also prepared a surprise for you, but I need to keep it a secret. I'll let you have a look after our wedding... oops, I nearly let it slip.”
Sienna played hard to get. “I can't wait to see you soon. Just the thought of our wedding tomorrow excites me. I can't wait for tomorrow!”
The last thing before he ended the call was Sienna’s excitement. He was going to marry the woman that he loved tomorrow, but, for some reason, his heart was heavy.
He had a bad and ominous feeling about it.
With his lips pressed together, Jace said to Zayne, “Make sure that security maintains order at tomorrow's ceremony. No reporters are allowed inside. Also, send someone to keep an eye on my mother. Make sure nothing goes wrong.”
“Noted, Sir,” replied Zayne.
Back at the suite, Yoel chuckled softly after Jace had hung up on him. “That guy must be embarrassed huh.”
With his computer skills, Yoel could easily get information on anyone that he wanted to. He could even get information on the most secretive, low-profile person. However, this time around he did not want to look into her.
Yoel believed that it was crucial when pursuing a lady to take the time to get to know her first before making a move.
Putting down his phone, Yoel admired himself in the mirror again as he fixed his hair and mumbled to himself, “Since Jace doesn’t know how to appreciate beauty, well, I'm more than happy to make a move."
"A damsel with beauty is every gentleman's desire... though I won't say that I'm a gentleman...” Yoel thought to himself. Adjusting his collar and rubbing his palms together, Yoel said excitedly, “My feisty Sage, I'm coming for you!"
