Chapter 397Jim was relieved, looking at Skyler, who had been sitting on the sofa like a statue. "My goodness! Jocelyn, you finally saw my post."Jocelyn's voice was apologetic. "Sorry, I just knew it was Skyler's birthday today.""Skyler hates being stood up. If you don't come over, he'll be mad." Jim peeked at Skyler while leaning against the window, talking to Jocelyn on the phone.Jocelyn nodded. "I'm so sorry. I'll be right there and try to make it before midnight!"Jim nodded. "Okay, I'll send you the location!"Jim hung up the phone. Just as he walked over to Skyler, Skyler looked up at him. "Who are you talking to on the phone?"Jim smiled awkwardly. "Just a client!"Skyler looked at him sullenly. "Jocelyn is your client?"Jim looked at him in shock. "How do you know it was Jocelyn?"Skyler grunted coldly. "You've admitted it!"Skyler felt Jim strange when seeing Jim looking at him nervously, so Skyler made a guess.He had not expected that it would indeed be Jocely
Chapter 398The seconds ticked by.Thinking that Jocelyn was coming over, Skyler wanted to take the chance to introduce Jocelyn to Walter.However, before Jocelyn could arrive, Walter and Snow came over.Walter said, "Skyler, we've eaten the cake, and your birthday is almost over. We have work tomorrow, so Snow and I are leaving."Skyler looked at the clock. It was already eleven o'clock.When he thought that Jocelyn had not come yet, his handsome face darkened, and his voice turned cold. "Then you guys can go now."He did not want to tell Walter that the person he liked had just known it was his birthday today and was hurrying here.Walter, who noticed that his brother was strange, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "What's up? Today is your birthday, but you are not happy."Skyler's voice was icy, without a trace of emotion. "My birthday comes every year. Is it necessary to be that happy?"Walter knew Skyler's character. Skyler was always cold. Walter resignedly shook hi
Chapter 399Ilona curved her lips and gave Jocelyn a provocative look. Just as Ilona was about to lean on Skyler's shoulder, Jocelyn froze.Before Ilona could rest her head on Skyler's shoulder, Skyler suddenly moved his shoulder and got up.Ilona lost her balance, and she did not expect Skyler to do that, so she fell onto the sofa.Jim was stunned, and then he couldn't hold back his laughter.Jocelyn was originally a little sad, but now she was surprised and amused.Ilona got up from the sofa in a mess, glaring at Skyler's back. Ilona's delicate face distorted.She was so angry.Skyler ignored Ilona. He looked at Jocelyn and directly walked toward her.Seeing Skyler approaching, Jim couldn't help but curve his lips. "I've got the person for you, and I can leave now!"Skyler looked at him askance, his voice cold. "You can get lost!"The corners of Jim's mouth twitched in annoyance. "You chase me away after getting what you want. You're so heartless!""I don't know what you
Chapter 400Jocelyn shook her head with a wry smile. "I didn't!"Skyler scowled. "That means you're planning to give me a bag of noodles and vegetables as a birthday present."Jocelyn listened to his odd idea and said with a smile, "Don't worry. I won't just give them to you. I just think that I can make noodles for you on your birthday. I think you have already eaten the cake. So I'm going to cook a bowl of noodles for you. I knew there was a kitchen here. But I guessed there were no vegetables and noodles here, so when I came over, I bought them."Hearing Jocelyn's explanation, Skyler instantly felt comforted.He finally said, "You're not that heartless. I'll take you to the kitchen."Jocelyn nodded with a smile and followed Skyler to the kitchen.There were indeed no ingredients to make noodles in the kitchen, but fortunately, Jocelyn had bought noodles, vegetables, and eggs.After walking into the kitchen, she turned on the burner to make noodles.Skyler felt that the crow
Chapter 401Then Skyler stretched out his hand to take the phone charm in Jocelyn’s hand.When their hands touched, Jocelyn’s hand trembled suddenly.After getting the charm, Skyler immediately hung it on his phone.He even waved his phone to show off in front of Jocelyn. "It looks great, right?"Looking at his flamboyant gesture, Jocelyn couldn't help raising her lips. "Yes!"She had been afraid that Skyler would not like it!Jocelyn finished making the noodles within ten minutes, and it was only half past eleven.Looking at the time, she put the noodles on the table and said, "Have a try. There is still half an hour before midnight, so my present for you comes in time!"When Skyler heard it, he cast a glance at her. Then he sat on the high stool and began to eat the noodles.Jocelyn felt a little surprised. "Don't you go outside to eat them?"Shaking his head, Skyler answered, "No. As there are many people outside, it's too noisy!"He just wanted to stay with Jocelyn in t
Chapter 402Skyler answered the call with a hard voice. "Hello!"Josie said on the end of the phone in a surprised voice, "Skyler, you’ve finally answered my call. I thought you wouldn't answer it!"When Skyler heard Josie's words, he fell silent. As Jocelyn sat in the same car with him, he didn't want to explain to Josie now.Josie continued, "Skyler, I know that though you have a sharp tongue, you’re soft-hearted. You also miss me, right?"Skyler still kept silent, as if he hadn't heard Josie’s words.Josie was silent for a few seconds before asking, "Are you listening to me?"Skyler's face was dark, and he answered in a cold voice, "Yes!"Josie seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "Great! Although I'm not the first person to wish you a happy birthday today, I can be the last one. It's almost twelve o'clock. Happy birthday!"Skyler snorted even without a word of thanks.Josie didn't seem to mind his indifference, as she had known that Skyler was such a cold man.When she re
Chapter 403Jocelyn handed her phone to Skyler. "Look. The news has grabbed the headlines. It reports that although Renee’s parents were not seriously beaten, they couldn’t recover within less than half a month! "Skyler's eyes flashed with guilt, but he replied in a calm voice, "Really? But this is what Renee’s parents deserved."Jocelyn nodded with a smile when she thought that Renee’s mother had slapped her. "I think the same! God punished them."Leaning on the sofa, Skyler nodded. But he looked expressionless, and no one could guess what he was thinking about.Jocelyn rolled her eyes and asked suddenly, "Did you ask someone to beat Renee’s parents?"Skyler became stunned and turned sharply to look at Jocelyn. "Don't take a wild guess. Why did I do such a thing?"Jocelyn glanced at Skyler suspiciously. "I just think that it’s your style of teaching people a lesson. It doesn’t matter if you didn’t do it!"Skyler fell speechless. He considered that Jocelyn would think he had a
Chapter 404When Skyler saw Jocelyn answering a call, he picked up his phone, as he planned to call Nancy, the show planner.When Jocelyn noticed Skyler was walking towards the balcony with his phone, she didn’t think much and continued talking with Lexie.Lexie had been a detached person, but the show really angered her.She suggested, "Find out what's going on. You’d better not participate in the second episode of the show!"Jocelyn knitted her brows tightly. "But the contract I’ve signed requires me to take part in the second episode!"On the balcony.The second Nancy answered Skyler’s call, she heard him say angrily, "Nancy, give me an explanation. Is your show deliberately targeting the designer of my company?"Nancy replied in an apologetic voice, "President Moore, I’m sorry. This is not the case. The show did this to create a highlight and attract people's attention. If the show is not popular, your investment and sponsorship will be wasted!"Skyler knitted his brows an
