Skylar continued going through the orders she had received. However, there were too many of them. While waiting for that buyer to reply, she fell asleep on the bed.
It was already morning when she woke up.
As she went downstairs, she bumped into Joe, who was just back from his morning jog. She naturally greeted him. “Good morning.
“Good morning.” Joe wiped the sweat on his brow with a towel.
Skylar watched as sweat dripped off his chin, and her expression stiffened.
What had happened yesterday was an accident, nothing more!
After composing herself, Skylar looked at the spread of food on the dining table–a hearty breakfast had
been served.
“I’m going up to take a shower. If you’re hungry, go ahead and have some breakfast,” said Joe.
Nodding. Skylar saved the pleasantries and sat at the table. Then, she chose whatever food she preferred
from the variety that had been served.
Joe was quick. He came downstairs after ten minutes. Seeing that Skylar was leisurely enjoying her
breakfast, he also sat at the table.
As though there was a tacit understanding between them, they both put aside what had happened last
night.
After breakfast, they went back to the city. Joe dropped Skylar off at her office first.
Skylar got out of the car. After Joe’s car passed the traffic light, she withdrew her gaze. She had taken the
day off yesterday, so she had to push harder today.
With long strides, she headed toward the office building.
Just as she was about to reach the entrance, she spotted a middle–aged couple before it.
At this hour, everyone was heading to work. When Skylar’s colleagues noticed the neatly dressed couple
clad in branded attire, they felt curious.
Wasn’t it too early for customers to be here? But the couple didn’t seem to be here for their service, seeing how they had come empty–handed. Could they be waiting for someone?
When the couple noticed Skylar, they immediately walked toward her.
At that moment, Skylar’s colleagues got their answer–that couple was indeed here for someone, and it was Skylar!
Skylar glanced at her watch. She had ten minutes left.
“Skye, you’re finally here. Why haven’t you been answering your phone? Your dad and I have been womed

about you.
“We didn’t make ourselves clear that day, and you must’ve taken what we said the wrong way.” Sadie approached Skylar and tried to hold her hands without consent.
She was unusually polite. Skylar had never seen her like this.
Skylar took note of their deliberate smiles. Perhaps their smiles seemed fake now because she had decided to stop caring about this insincere couple.
Jeffrey said, “We didn’t communicate our thoughts well that day, which must be why you misunderstood

“You’re our biological daughter, and we finally found you after so much hard work. We can’t let someone else disgrace you, can we?
“We were just too concerned about you. We were worried that you’d be deceived.”
He didn’t seem to be in good shape, probably because he hadn’t slept well for many days. Everything he had worked so hard to build was on the verge of crumbling. Because of that, he looked haggard.
Sadie sensed Skylar’s aloof attitude and felt uneasy. Not too long ago, Skylar had been nice to Sadie and tried hard to please her. But now, she seemed very distant.
“Kenny and the others approached me the other day, and now it’s you. Are you going to keep
