Skylar leaned against the car and fell asleep soon.
When Joe saw the fatigue on Skylar’s face, he recalled the photo John had sent him today.
Skylar was extremely focused while working. Joe was pretty sure anyone who saw that photo would be unable to tear their eyes away from her.
It seemed that he still didn’t know her well enough.
Moreover, she never deliberately showed her good side to him. Whenever she was with him, she was
sincere, natural, and casual.
Subconsciously, his gaze became a bit more focused at that moment.
Lucas was shocked when he noticed Joe intensely looking at Skylar.
It seemed that Joe liked Skylar. He had even taken the initiative to pick up Skylar from work today.
Lucas drove Joe to and from work almost every day, and he had never seen him treat a woman the way
he was treating Skylar now,
Skylar’s phone suddenly rang while she was sleeping soundly. The ringtone broke the silence in the car.
Still a little groggy, Skylar opened her eyes. She was stunned for a moment when she found herself leaning on Joe’s shoulder.
But she didn’t have time to say anything to Joe because she had already answered the phone.
“Skye, the plan has changed. I’ll be gone on a business trip tomorrow and the day after. Can I see your tonight?” Steven asked.
Skylar glanced at Joe. She wasn’t sure if he was available now that the meeting had been pushed forward.
Joe had heard Steven’s request since it was very quiet in the car. He nodded.
Skylar was a little surprised by Joe’s easy–going nature. “Sure, Steven. I’ll send you the restaurant’s
address later.”
“Okay,” Steven said. He had been worried for the past couple of days.
At first, he had thought that he would be able to meet Joe the day after tomorrow. However, he unexpectedly had to go on a business trip. His trip could be as short as one or two days, or it could end up being a week long.
He was really worried about Skylar; he feared that she had met a scumbag again. After all, Christopher had taught them all a huge lesson.
There weren’t many good men in the world.
Skylar became fully awake after the call ended. During the call earlier, her eyes had had a distant look, as if she were in a dream.

Beside her, Joe’s thin lips curled slightly. He couldn’t help but think that she had looked really cute just
now.
“I’m going to look for a restaurant. What do you want to eat?” Skylar asked.
Perhaps because she had just woken up, her voice was a little coquettish as she spoke.
Joe was in a good mood after hearing her voice. A faint smile flashed in his eyes. “You can book any restaurant that serves the food Steven likes,” he said.
Skylar couldn’t help laughing when she thought of Steven’s favorite place to go. She exclaimed, “Really?”
“Yeah.”
“You’d better not regret it,” Skylar warned playfully. She imagined Joe, the CEO in a suit, eating skewers at a restaurant. She couldn’t help her urge to laugh.
Seeing her mischievous smile, Joe raised his eyebrows and asked, “A barbeque restaurant?”
He remembered the photo Paul had sent him not too long ago. Skylar had been eating barbecue at a
restaurant with a man.
Joe figured the man must have been one of her brothers.
Skylar hadn’t expected Joe to guess it. She asked in a surprised tone, “How did you know?”
Joe curled his thin lips slightly. “You guess,” he said.
“You’ll tell me when you want to. You can keep it a secret for now.” Skylar hadn’t expected Joe to pull
such a trick.
She had heard people say that no matter how old a man was, he would always have a childish side. She understood that now.
But she wasn’t going to go along and make a guess!
