Chapter 135
The next two days passed by rather quietly.
Jocelyn sought inspiration while preparing for the Ocean Heart Jewelry Competition that would be held in Greene City. At the same time, she started designing Yvonne’s custom jewelry. Unexpectedly, Yvonne did not play any tricks on her this time around. She was extremely cooperative with her throughout the entire process.
She liked all the designs that Jocelyn came up with as well.
After completing the design draft, Jocelyn started the customization process. Everything seemed to be progressing in a good direction. However, Skyler was acting rather abnormal lately. He had developed a new hobby after coming home from work, and that was playing with their cat. He would spend time petting Whitie’s fur and fostering a closer relationship with it every day.
Jocelyn was speechless toward his behavior. After all, he had brought Whitie home. He could pet it if he wished to. She had no right to interfere. However, other than petting Whitie, he also liked asking Jocelyn how he could make it like him
more.
Every time he asked Jocelyn about this, she felt her heart lurch in shock!
Whitie always looked extremely lifeless while Skyler held it. Jocelyn pitied it a lot whenever she looked at it!
It was Yvonne’s birthday today. In the afternoon, Jim came to Prosperity Jewelry again. Ever since he knew that Lexie was working at Prosperity Jewelry, he had visited the company for three days straight. Although Lexie always treated him extremely coldly, his passion was not extinguished in any way.
Skyler could not bother himself to say anything to him.
Jim loitered around Skyler’s office and asked, “Are you going to attend Yvonne’s birthday party tonight?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Skyler said expressionlessly, “I’m not going!” “What are you going to do then?” “I’m going home to play with the cat!” There was a shocked expression on Jim’s face. “Huh? You’re going to play with your cat? Are
you kidding me?”
Skyler glanced at him coldly and said, “You can leave if there’s nothing else!”
Jim automatically ignored his words and said, “Right, you previously asked me on the phone if you’d be doing the right thing by purposely hiding the truth from someone for their benefit. I received a phone call then, so I had to hang up on our call, but I can tell you the answer now…”
Skyler was enraged when he thought about this. He interrupted him at once. “I don’t want to know about it anymore!”
Jim laughed cheekily and said, “What’s the problem? I haven’t told you about it yet. I know that you definitely want to know my answer. Stop saying things that you don’t mean. Do you think that I don’t understand you?”
Jim was rarely this serious. “Actually, one would want to know anything related to themselves regardless of whether it’s good or bad. Meanwhile, there won’t be a good outcome if you hide something from someone else no matter your intentions. If they know that you’re hiding something from them, they’ll definitely get angry!”
Skyler raised his gaze to glance at Jim. “Really?”
Jim nodded and said, “Of course. It’s a hundred percent true. I won’t lie to you!”
Skyler’s gaze darkened. It was unclear what he was thinking of.
In the evening, Skyler sent Jocelyn a text after work.
“Come to Jubilee Club tonight. There’s something that I need to tell you.”
Jocelyn frowned and drafted a reply. “What is it? Can’t we talk about this at Villa No. 1?” “We can’t talk about this at home! It’s about you!”
Jocelyn’s eyes twitched when she saw this news. She did not continue asking him any questions.
“Alright, I’ll head over after work!”
After work, Jocelyn drove to Jubilee Club.
Somehow, her right eye kept twitching today. She reached out to rub her eyes. She comforted herself. Skyler’s mysterious attitude was making her uneasy. She wondered what he wanted to tell her.
At the same time, in Jubilee Club.
Skyler had arrived a long time ago. He stood before the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the cars on the road outside. There was a rather dazed expression on his face. He had started acting against his principles under a lot of circumstances within a month. This was really uncharacteristic of him!
Initially, he had told Jocelyn not to have ulterior motives toward him. Jocelyn had fulfilled her promises. She had never once acted out of line from the very start. However, he could not control his emotions well. What was he doing right now?! He was trying to get closer to the cat at home, and he kept thinking about how it felt like to hug Jocelyn to sleep in the past, which caused his thoughts to race while he was sleeping. He could not resist getting involved in anything that had to do with Jocelyn regardless of what it
was. He wondered what kind of spell he was under! Skyler had a headache. He could not be like this anymore!
After telling Jocelyn all about the letter today, he would put an end to all his odd behaviors! He would not interfere in Jocelyn’s business anymore. Jocelyn was about to arrive at Jubilee Club.
She stepped on the brake as soon as she saw the red light. She then fixed her gaze in the direction before her. The traffic light turned from red to green. She started the car and sped up.
There were not many cars on the road. Jocelyn sped her car up to a speed of 37 miles per hour. However, a car suddenly drove past her. It seemed like the car was driving at a speed above 75 miles per hour. It drove past the yellow dividing line on the road and collided with the car driving in the opposite lane harshly. In that split second, the car in the opposite lane turned sharply after the other car collided with it.
