Rhode was so frightened that her soul had left her body. Then, she fell directly into Skyler's arms.Skyler frowned, an unpleasant expression on his face. Despite his ruthless means, he could not stand idly by and watch someone get hit by a car in front of him.The car hit the stone pillar in front of Virtue Restaurant and half of the car was dented. The driver's forehead was on the steering wheel and his head was covered in blood.Skyler released Rhode. “Stand properly.”Rhode's body was weak, and she stumbled. Then, she hurriedly held the wall next to her to support herself.Skyler called Yale with a cold face. “I got into an accident at the Virtue Restaurant. You should check as soon as possible to see whether it was an accident, or someone did this on purpose.”Yale's voice was serious. “Okay, I'll check right away.”Skyler hung up the phone and glanced at Rhode on the side. “Rhode, I’m warning you again, if you don't want to be shut out, stay away from me in the future.”R
After she finished speaking, she got up and left.Skyler was stunned.However, he could not just let Jocelyn go like this.His relationship with Jocelyn just turned for the better. If there was another conflict, they would be engaged in a cold war again.He grabbed Jocelyn's arm. “No, you have to make yourself clear!”Jocelyn got angry. Her eyes were a little red and she tried to shake Skyler's hand away.Skyler did not expect Jocelyn to be serious.His expression changed slightly. He grabbed Jocelyn and pressed her directly on the sofa, his face domineering and helpless. “What the hell are you doing?”Jocelyn's indifference was suffocating. “I don't want to talk to you!”Skyler frowned at her.He suddenly thought of Jim's words. There was no conflict between men and women that could not be resolved by a kiss, if a kiss could not resolve it, then two kisses!Of course, Jim also said that a kiss could be replaced by a one-night… then it would be even more effective.Skyler's
Jim shook his head helplessly. “Tell me, what's wrong with you? Who provoked you?”In fact, Jim was just asking that. He did not need to think to know that it was Jocelyn.He could not think of anyone else who would dare to make someone like Skyler so angry.Skyler glanced at Jim and could not hold himself back. “You know what? She said I was disgusting. I've never met a woman who’s unable to recognize others' good intentions like her!”Jim was overjoyed and he burst into laughter. “Tsk, how should I say this, there is a saying that men are cheap. The easier it is for them to get someone, the less they will cherish them. Jocelyn doesn't take you seriously and she flies into a rage whenever she wants and yet you’re all over her.”Skyler looked at him coolly. “Jim, who are you calling cheap?”Jim's expression changed and he immediately pointed at himself. “I am, I am. Even my nickname is Cheap Jim.”He did not want to talk back to Skyler and fight him when Skyler was still mad, ot
As soon as Skyler entered the office, he threw his coat on the sofa and walked toward the desk.He came to work directly from the hotel today.This woman, Jocelyn, dared to call him disgusting. No matter what, this time, he would not easily forgive her, let alone bow his head to her.Skyler was thinking about this when Yale knocked on the door and came in.“President Moore, I have clues about what happened last night, but the person behind it has not been found out. The driver was a death row prisoner and he died before arriving at the hospital last night. The car had fake plates. This person just escaped from prison some time ago and as for why he hit you with his car, we have no idea. It’s because after he got out of prison, he didn't contact anyone around him,” Yale told Skyler the truth.Skyler's face sank instantly.There was no need to guess now, the other party hired this person to kill him.His voice was terrifyingly icy, “Continue to check the interpersonal relationship
“Say, what’s so good about Rhode? Why did President Moore fall for her?”“Yeah, she's not as good-looking as Jocelyn. President Moore's taste is so bad, tsk tsk tsk!”…Rhode wanted to see Jocelyn's design draft, gave some comments, and then went to find Skyler.Unexpectedly, she received a call from Yale just after looking at the design draft.“Ah, Mr. Moore wants to see me? What a coincidence, I am in Prosperity’s design department.”…“Yes, yes, I'm talking to Miss White about the custom jewelry.”…“You’re coming to get me? That's fine, I'll be waiting for you in the design department.”Rhode hung up the phone with a shy face. “Mr. Moore is in such a hurry; he can't wait to see me now.”Hailey laughed and quipped, “Who asked you to be so cute and kept President Moore thinking about you all the time?”Rhode laughed even more shyly.Jocelyn froze, unable to say a word.Hailey snorted domineeringly, “Miss White, see? What I said before is true, I know President Moore is
Jocelyn listened to Hailey quietly and sketched something in her notebook from time to time. After Hailey finished speaking, Jocelyn raised her gaze and said, “Miss Young, if a client requests their designer to revise their draft three times or more, they’ll need to pay additional fees. This clause has been specified in our contract!” Hailey did not have the ability to pay any more money. She instantly widened her eyes as she asked in a shrill tone, “What did you say? I still need to pay more?”Jocelyn nodded expressionlessly. “Yes, this is the final revision. I hope you can convey all your requests as clearly as possible. Make sure you tell me everything comprehensively!” Hailey immediately took the design draft over and looked over it in detail. Actually, she was pretty satisfied with Jocelyn’s design draft. She just wanted Jocelyn to look up to her since she was the best friend of the president’s girlfriend.She pondered it and said, “Then… I’ll go with this design dra
Rhode came from a village. She had always been a pragmatic person that knew how to grab onto opportunities that came her way. All the opportunities were before her now. How could she give it up? Since Skyler would grant her so many benefits as long as she kept her distance from him, she would not hesitate to do so. Skyler scoffed and ignored Rhode. He then asked Yale to draft a contract. He pondered upon it silently. Perhaps this was the reason why he liked Jocelyn. Jocelyn was prideful and headstrong. She was also independent and talented. Things that belonged to her would always belong to her. She would never try to obtain anything through shady means. Both of them had been married for such a long time. She could have gained plenty of advantages if she relied on his background. As long as she had enough funds, she would not have to worry about Michael doing anything to her uncle’s family.However, she had never had such vile intentions. She simply relied on her t
When Skyler saw that Rhode had cleared up both the scandals that they had been involved in so clearly, he agreed to let her be the ambassador of this season’s jewelry products. Jocelyn was beyond angered after watching Rhode’s press conference. There were all sorts of interesting comments online. “The most ambiguous word in this world is ‘friends’! That’s because it can be used to conceal countless types of relationships!” “What kind of friendship does Rhode have with President Moore? Hahaha!” “That’s simple, they’re friends with benefits!” “Hehehe, how interesting! It’s just a simple scandal, yet she came out to clear things up on purpose! Something’s definitely going on between both of them!” “Brilliant commenters, that’s what I think as well!” …The more Jocelyn watched the press conference, the angrier she got. She could no longer be calm in the face of incidents involving Skyler. She kept her phone and decided not to look at any content regarding the scand
