Sage was aware that Collin had misunderstood her and lan because of the “cucumber feast” last time. He must've assumed that she and lan were playing a “cat-and-mouse” game, which was why he jested.

lan turned to look at her when he heard her voice. His dark eyes were as deep and unreadable as ever.
Sage ignored him and said to Collin, “Thanks for everything today. I'll be leaving now.” Then, she left without stepping into the office.
lan also made his way over to her as she reached her car. Sage assumed that he had visited Collin for business.
She wondered why he was leaving so soon.
But in any case, she wasn’t in the mood to deal with him. Hence, she opened the door to the driver's seat and was about to hop in when lan stopped her.

You're not usually one to let an opportunity slip by.” Was he implying that he would back her up? Sage found the situation rather amusing. “I heard this project belongs to Ms. Shekdotter. What opportunity could | possibly take advantage of?” lan frowned. “lvy’s the director of Bolton Investment. Does it bother you that she chere to negotiate business?” Sage was more annoyed with him than with Ivy. Her temper flared when she thought about those darn diamond earrings.
“lan Holcomb, do you have anything else to say? If you don’t, get out of my way! | don’t want to listen to your nonsense!” Her imitation of lan was spot-on, both in terms of tone and expression.
Sure enough, his expression soured. He made an effort to suppress his anger and asked, * 1/2 +15 BONUS Why didn’t you answer my call?” Sage sneered. “Seriously? Why are you askingthat? Don’t you do that all the time? | believe you know the answer and the reason better than | do.” lan responded patiently, “I missed your call last tbecause | was stuck in a meeting. You had already shown up at the office by the tI got out.” “Has your memory failed you, or are you suggesting that that was the only tyou had missed my calls?” she asked.
Sage used to call and text him consistently. It annoyed him to no end, so he often ignored them.
lan couldn't help but think of what Calvin had said when she brought up old scores. Women will bring up every little thing that upset her in the past if you don’t placate her when she’s angry.” lan realized Calvin was right. He couldn't quite put his finger on the emotions that were swirling within him. It was a combination of annoyance, anger, and frustration.

Are you happy now?” Sage was dumbfounded. “What the hell is wrong with you? | wasn’t playing any games! Besides, when did | ever say | wanted to work in your office?” “Is that not the case? Sure, you might act indifferent on the surface, but you always find a way to get involved in anything remotely related to me. If that’s not one of your games, what is?” lan seemed to have had enough.
