Sage was signing the final stack of documents, his last required work for the day. He had initially wanted to take a break, but he had deliberately dragged himself to the office. He knew if he stayed home, his mind would be completely occupied with Katelyn's thoughts, and he wanted a distraction.
After an hour, he finally finished signing the last file. He pressed the desk bell and instructed his assistant to collect the paperwork. "I'll be leaving now," he stated simply.
The assistant gave a slight bow, gathered the files, and exited, leaving Sage alone. Sage quickly prepared himself and headed toward the VIP elevator.
As the elevator descended, his earlier distraction vanished, and the painful thoughts returned.
