Inside, lan sat on a bench while supporting his forehead with one hand. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he looked uncomfortable.
Terry was about to call out to him when Sage, holding a towel in one hand, discreetly walked over to lan from the dining table. Her other hand was hidden beneath the towel.
Terry wisely kept silent. He watched as Sage gently dabbed lan’s forehead with the towel. Before he could appreciate Sage’s tender care, however, he watched as she “accidentally” tossed something she was holding into lan’s shirt collar.
As soon as the object touched lan’s skin, he jolted.

Terry quickly suppressed the smile on his face and respectfully said, “Mr. Holcomb, the car is outside. Do you need my assistance?” lan cast him a cold glance before striding out with long steps. Terry followed.
Meanwhile, Sage grabbed her handbag and apologized to everyone, “Sorry for the trouble, everyone. But please forget that this ever happened. Thank you!” She even bowed sincerely to the crowd before leaving the private room.
Everyone exchanged glances, and an elderly man sighed. “I thought Jan was better than this. How could-Oh, forget it. Everyone, let's not bring this up next time!” After getting into the car, Sage couldn’t control her laughter.
“Sage!” With an icy expression, lan seethed, “How dare you throw ice cubes into my shirt!” “You played me. Payback’s a bitch!” “You!” +15 BONUS As lan sat upright, Sage burst into laughter again when she saw his stained pants.
The driver looked puzzled. Meanwhile, Terry was mentally recalling the tragedies of his life and trying not to burst into laughter as well.
