Annie was furious and called out again, “Skylar!”
Maintaining her smile, Skylar replied, “Ms. Silver, is there anything else?”
“I just hope you won’t regret this,” Annie knew she couldn’t waste more time with Skylar. Joe might arrive any moment now.
She turned and got into her car. As the car started, she rolled down the window and
looked back at Skylar.
“Skylar, you will regret this.”
She didn’t believe Joe would like Skylar for long. He was probably only interested in
her because of her looks.
“I can tell you right now, I won’t regret it. But I can’t say the same for you. I’m usually quite easygoing, but two can play the game in the face of someone pretentious.
Later, when I see Mr. Martin, I’ll make sure to tell him about this later,” Skylar said
with a mischievous smile, her eyebrows raised arrogantly.
Annie gripped the steering wheel tightly and urged, “Let’s discuss this some other time. I didn’t mean to offend you with my words earlier.”
Skylar smiled. Did Annie think she was a fool?
Annie took a deep breath, feeling a bit panicked. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“There’s no need to complain to Joe about this. He’s very busy with work, and bringing these petty squabbles to him will only make him dislike you, which won’t do
you any good.”
“He says he likes it when I act clingy,” Skylar replied nonchalantly. She wasn’t sure what type of woman Joe liked, but she was certain he didn’t like women like Annie.
Annie’s face turned red with anger. She knew Skylar was doing it on purpose. No
man likes a clingy woman, let alone Joe.
Over the years, many women have tried everything to get his attention, yet he hasn’t shown interest in them. Could he really prefer Skylar’s reckless and clingy nature?
Seeing Annie wavering, Skylar chuckled inwardly. Did she fall for her offhanded remarks so easily?
“Anyway, I’ll apologize first. Skylar, we could try to be friends. Being friends with me
would bring you many benefits.”
Annie’s tone changed, becoming as gracious and poised as the TV host persona sher displayed on her show, the kind of personality that easily wins people’s favor.
Annie’s ability to switch personalities was impressive.
“There’s no need to be friends. I don’t want to be taken advantage of. Please leave
you’re done. There’s not enough parking space here,” Skylar said with a smile.
Did Annie think she could be easily fooled?
“Fine!” Annie gripped the steering wheel tightly, her long nails leaving deep marks.
She sped off, leaving the parking spot.
As the car drove away, Skylar’s smile faded. She knew that having an enemy like. Annie would cause her many troubles in the future. But it was safer than having her
as a friend.
“When did you understand me so well?” a voice suddenly asked behind her.
Skylar turned to see Joe. When did he arrive?
Joe’s lips curved up slightly, waiting for her response.
Skylar couldn’t manage a smile. “How much did you hear?”
“Almost everything,” Joe replied honestly. He had arrived and witnessed Skylar arguing with Annie, leaving her speechless. It was his first time seeing the usually
composed Annie so riled up.
Skylar felt like she was making a fool of herself in front of Joe more and more lately. Any explanation now seemed pointless..
“We haven’t been married long, and you already know me better than I know you. Are you falling for me?” Joe whispered as he stepped closer, closing the distance. between them.
Skylar was startled by his last remark.
“Am 1 that lucky? Did I guess your preference? If I sold this story to the press, I could
make a fortune,”
