Ignoring Calvin's follow-up text, lan zoomed into the screenshot. It showed the food photos Sage took and her wefie with Donald, all posted five minutes ago. It could only mean that Sage had been ignoring his texts.
At the stime, lan received the hotel's phone number and Sage's room number from Terry. Without hesitation, he dialed the number. Sage took a bath with waterproof plastic gloves on and sprayed smedication on her shoulder before settling comfortably in bed.
She tapped into her phone's photo gallery to edit sphotos for Instagram. She received several of lan's texts during that time, but she ignored them.

Thinking it was a call from the front desk, she picked up. "Hello, what's the matter?" lan was taken aback by Sage's relaxed voice. Much of his boiling anger seemed to have dissipated at that moment.
"Hello?" she inquired once more.
lan finally confronted her. "Why didn't you reply to my texts?" After a slight pause, she finally realized what had happened. Ian had reached her hotel room number.

But Sage did not show him any gratitude. Instead, she had beerm throwing tantrums. Her current Her behavior was more unbearable than her clingy behavior in the past. Calvin happened to text lan again to get supdates on the situation between himself and Sage.
lan sent him a voice message. "Didn't Sage refuse to add you on Instagram? How did you get to view her posts?"
"Heh heh, she agreed to addon Instagram after I refused to side with you and dined with her and Tiana at the hot springs section." lan grew restless upon learning that. He merely had a professional discussion with Ivy. How could they accuse him of taking sides?
Sage placed the handset back in its place. She wanted to start a video call with Tiana when she received a NO notification on her phone. She tapped on the notification, and her expression crumbled. X
