A Farewell After Being Reborn
Chapter 34

Chapter 34 

Sage shot Ian a cold glance. She found his question ironic. She thought, “Who else could it be besides you? You took my USB drive and did not answer my calls.” 

Ian sensed Sage’s dissatisfaction but held back his annoyance. “I’ve reviewed 

your investment plan for Mimosa. It was well–executed, given your effort. 

Considering that, I can offer you an internship opportunity at Bolton Investment.

At this moment, Terry astutely presented a document to Sage. She frowned as she took it. It was an offer letter of employment as an intern at Holcomb Corporation. 

“When did I say I wanted to be an intern at Bolton Investment?” Sage couldn’t help but chuckle. 

Thinking she was unhappy with the intern role, Ian patiently explained, Holcomb Corporation has strict hiring standards. Based on your investment plan alone, you don’t meet the criteria for a permanent employee yet. 

“As long as you continue with your dedication to proposal drafting and learn diligently, a suitable position will be arranged for you after a month.” 

Sage didn’t know where to start with the absurdity of his words. “What position will be arranged for me?” 

Though her smile held a touch of scorn, Ian still answered, “Normally, it would be an assistant investment analyst. But if you excel, you can apply for the position you desire.” 

“Can I aim for the position of an investment director then?” 

“Sage!” Ian’s tone carried a warning. 

“Why are you shouting? Are you willing to offer it to me or not?” 

Sage’s expression turned cold as she continued, “You peeked at my investment 

plan without my permission and spoke condescendingly about offering me an internship opportunity. Who do you think you are?” 

“You!” Ian choked out.

Seeing the intense confrontation between lan and Sage, Terry quickly interjected, “Mr. and Mrs. Holcomb, I have something to attend to. I’ll leave now.” 

After saying that, he swiftly escaped from the office. 

“Sage, stop acting up!” Ian was burning with anger. He berated, “Do you think being an intern diminishes your worth? Do you know how many people would die for such an opportunity?” 

“Stop being so self–righteous, Ian!” Sage retorted without hesitation, “I never intended to join Bolton Investment in the first place. It was you who stole my USB drive!” 

Taking something without asking was equivalent to stealing! 

Not only did he steal it, but he also looked through it. The investment plan she prepared to counter Bolton Investment had been fully exposed to the enemy. What was the point now? 

Facing Sage’s fierceness and frustration, Ian knew arguing further was futile. He struggled to suppress the rising anger within him. 

“You knew that Bolton Investment intends to invest in Mimosa, and you made such a detailed plan. Tell me, weren’t you aiming to join the company?” 

“Who says I can’t create an investment plan for Mimosa without joining Bolton Investment?” 

Ian was once again stumped. 

“Sage, can you stop being so childish? Ivy majored in finance at an international university and has excelled in the field. Do you think you can prove yourself superior to her with just a proposal?” 

At last, Ian had spoken his mind. He believed Sage had made the investment plan just to compete with Ivy. Although Sage did aim to outshine Ivy, it wasn’t for the 

reasons Ian assumed. 

“Ian, I don’t need to prove myself to anyone, especially not to you!” With a cold statement, Sage turned around and left. 1 

As he watched her retreating figure at the door, Ian’s face darkened further. He

called for Terry. 

“Mr. Holcomb, you called?” Terry’s scalp tingled. He was afraid he might be dragged into the conflict.
