lan had told her that his company would be having a team-building event in Greenfield on Saturday. Sage didn't think it was a coincidence that Tiana and her colleagues had decided to come here.

Sage dragged Tiana aside and asked, "Come on! Fess up. Did you plan this ahead of time with lan?"

Tiana looked at her, puzzled. "What are you on about?"

"Don't play dumb with me." Sage glared at Tiana. "When did he get to you?"

After all, she had just met Tiana at the hospital the day before yesterday, and she hadn't mentioned anything about the team-building event.

Yet, all of a sudden, Tiana had decided to come here, and she didn't even tell her where they were going. She probably didn't want to arouse her suspicion.

Tiana smiled sheepishly when she noticed that Sage had figured it all out. "He didn't actually get to me. My colleagues and I genuinely planned to go on a road trip. lan just mentioned that his company's team-building event would be held here. He invited us to join them, so I didn't stand on ceremony with him."

Sage rolled her eyes at Tiana. "I didn't take you as the kind who'd betray your best friend for a “good deal’."

Tiana responded, "This isn't just any deal! Greenfield isn't cheap, you know? It's a 5-star-rated natural hot spring that's rich in minerals and can be used for recuperation and rehabilitation. It's practically made for you! Honest to God, I'm just looking out for you."

"Sure, I believe you," Sage drawled.

"Of course! As you should.” Tiana then pushed Sage into the resort. "Besides, lan isn't some ferocious beast. He used to be your beloved husband!"

Sage felt like punching someone in the face. "Tiana... I've already told you that's all in the past. What's the meaning of all this?"

“I'm sure you don't have to cut off all contact with him even if you're getting a divorce, right?" Tiana held onto her hand. "Besides, you guys are, technically, still married. You'll still have to see him at home even if you don't see him here."

Even though that was true, Sage couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.

“I guess it's my fault. I let Calvin talk me into agreeing to this,” Tiana added.

Sage was surprised to learn that Calvin was in on this too. "How'd Calvin manage to talk you into this?" she asked.

Tiana explained that Calvin had brought up the incident at the bar the other night. He mentioned how lan had gone out of his way to help them and had injured his waist in the process. Even though lan didn't deserve any credit for his actions, he should at least be given credit for his efforts.

Tiana continued, "He also said that lan felt bad about leaving you behind at Holcomb Corporation's party last time, so he wanted to take you out and cheer you up."

Sage smiled wryly as she was reminded of how lan had made it a point to explain himself to her regarding the incident at the party last time. She figured that it was probably Calvin's doing as well.

Calvin sure had lan's back. When lan hated her, he stood up for him and gave her the boot. When lan was reluctant to let her go, he came up with ideas to help him win her back.

"Forget about lan. Since we're already here, we might as well enjoy ourselves!"

That made sense. Sage pinched Tiana and warned her, "Don't you dare let this happen again, or I'll give you a piece of my mind."

Tiana raised her hand and promised, "Don't worry, I won't let lan get to me again. Unless he invites me and Wilson on a world tour that is!" Sage was rendered speechless. The girls had been conversing for so long that Tiana's colleagues had already gone to the lobby to check-in. “I didn't know we were staying here for the night." Sage looked at the room card in Tiana's hand. "I didn't bring anything since you didn't tell me ahead of time. I don't think I'll be able to stay over."

"No worries. A certain someone took care of it for you," Tiana quipped. Then, she handed Sage a room card. "This is your room. Your belongings are already inside."
