Before getting back to work, Skylar turned her phone on silent mode. Then, she poured all her attention into her task.
Some of her colleagues were eager to know what she was like while working. When they passed by her working area, they looked in through the window.
Only professionals in this field would know how remarkable Skylar was.
Skylar didn’t know her colleagues were watching her as she worked, so she didn’t look up.
A few of them thought she looked attractive when she was working. They took photos of her and sent
them to their group chat. One by one, they started spamming the group with photos.
Linda Jenkins texted, “She’s not only gorgeous, but her skills are also impressive. I’m envious.”
Patrick White agreed, saying, “Same here. I wonder if I can court her.”
Isabelle Jacques replied to him, “You might want to look at yourself in the mirror.”
Patrick texted, “It was just a thought. Am I wrong for thinking that?”
Linda texted, “Yes.”
Isabelle agreed, “Yes.”
Patrick answered, “I finally have the urge to be straight for once, yet you’re discouraging me.”
Max Zachman texted, “I’m telling your boyfriend.”
Patrick replied to him, “You bastard! I only have eyes for my boyfriend. Women and I will only be best friends, no matter how close we may be!”
A heated discussion ensued in the group chat. Alexander rarely checked the group chat. After all, it had been created for the younger team members to communicate.
But he had nothing to do at that moment. After chatting with his old friends, he casually skimmed through the messages. When he saw what they were saying, he was rendered speechless.
Skylar’s brilliance was evident to everyone who had sound judgment.
But why couldn’t she become his granddaughter–in–law? What had Caleb been doing? Why hadn’t he gotten to know her a few months earlier?
Oh, that good–for–nothing! Alexander figured Caleb might need to be comforted today after getting his
heart broken.
At that thought, he called John. “Postpone any dinner parties you have tonight. Caleb is going to be heartbroken. You should go home and play video games with him or go for a ride with him

After forcing himself to read a few more pages, Caleb couldn’t restrain himself from turning on his Instagram. He scrolled his feed.
Skylar rarely posted anything. She only did it once in a blue moon. He checked out her new post. However, his eyes widened at what he saw.
This post… Was she already in another relationship? Or could it be…
“The rest of our lives“? Could she be married?
Caleb’s face paled. “Did someone hack her account? Hadn’t she just broken up with a jerk? How is she already married all of a sudden? That’s unexpected!”
He immediately called Skylar. But his call went unanswered.
So, he commented on her post. “Skylar, did you post this? You didn’t, right? Has someone hacked your account? Or have you lost your phone? You didn’t pick up my call.”
He knew Skylar’s habits–she would almost never check her phone while working. It would be on silent mode most of the time.
He panicked. He hadn’t thought out his confession to her yet, but she was already married?
Refusing to give in, Caleb stared at the man in the photo.
He seemed almost the same height as Caleb, and judging from his build, he clearly worked out often. However, his choice of clothes told Caleb that he was older than him.
