Chapter 183
Jocelyn choked. Could she refuse? Skyler stared at Jocelyn and did not say anything. He lost his temper that night and never showed up in front of Jocelyn again. Now, he knew very well that he was bothered by that. Jocelyn is willing to listen to his words and talk to him just because she remembered his life- saving grace. However, in her heart, they were still in the relationship dictated by the agreement. Skyler felt agitated. It was what he wanted in the first place, and now he did not want it anymore.
He was upset when he saw Jocelyn because her cold attitude toward him made him uncomfortable, and he wanted to find a place to vent his emotions. However, he started missing Jocelyn when he could not see her. When he recalled the various warnings he made to Jocelyn at the beginning, Skyler finally felt what it was like to shoot himself in the foot.
They had not seen each other for two days. When Skyler looked at Jocelyn at this moment, his mood seemed to calm down. Jocelyn did not notice his abnormality. She thought about it seriously and said sincerely, “I’m going to the alumni party at night. If I send you to work, I won’t be able to send you back at night.” “You’re saying so many things, but you just don’t want to send me, right?” Jocelyn shook her head quickly. “No, I’m telling the truth.” Skyler snorted coldly, his voice frigid, “You just need to take me to work. You don’t have to worry about how I’m getting off work.”
Jocelyn’s expression was still hesitant.
Skyler’s expression became a little unpleasant. Many people begged to send him to and from work, but he only wanted her to do so.
He had never felt such urgency to get close to a person before.
His feelings and self-confidence were constantly competing with one another. He looked at Jocelyn deeply, and he had no choice but to take out his trump card, “I have a back injury and I’ll affect my wound
if I drive.” Jocelyn’s face changed slightly, and she immediately looked at him with a worried expression. “I’ll drive you to work. I can take you back first at night and then go to the alumni party.” Skyler felt bitterness in his heart. Jocelyn was finally willing to send him to work and her attitude was also spectacular.
It was a pity as she was just feeling guilty since he got hurt because of her. Skyler got into Jocelyn’s car, feeling horrible and sweet at the same time. If one had never liked someone before, they would not understand the contradictory feeling.
Skyler knew that he could force Jocelyn to get a marriage certificate with him and even not get a divorce, but he could not force Jocelyn to fall in love with him sincerely and from the bottom of her heart.
Jocelyn started the car and Skyler sat in the passenger seat. He had a dark look on his face and it was unknown what he was thinking.
Jocelyn took the initiative to ask him, “Is your wound getting better?”
Skyler glanced at her sideways, peeled off a piece of candy, and said in a low voice, “Yea, it’s getting better. Your design for the competition this time is pretty good. Congratulations.” Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
The faint mint smell spread in the car.
Jocelyn pursed her lips and said, “Thank you.”
The theme of the Ocean Heart Jewelry Competition was to design a piece of jewelry based on the heart of the ocean.
Her inspiration came from the artwork in Ocean Park, which was a bronze statue of the heart of the sea. She made changes and deformations on the two intersecting hearts and surrounded them with lace that
looks like waves so that the meaning and beauty of the design coexisted.
Skyler did not speak anymore. He looked out the car window, it was unknown what he was thinking as his expression was always cold and indifferent.
They were almost at the company and Jocelyn finally remembered what happened with Giada.
“By the way, Mr. Moore, what happened to Giada? Did she have something to do with my allergic reaction?” Jocelyn asked casually
Skyler’s eyes sank and his expression was gloomy. “She’s not the one who gave you the allergic reaction. However, she was suspected of kidnapping and assault, so this time, I won’t let her come out and continue wreaking havoc.”
Jocelyn understood and it seemed that this time Giada would not be let out without serving some time in prison
However, this was fine Giada was a bad person and letting her out would be a danger to society
Skyler raised an eyebrow and glanced at Jocelyn when he noticed that she was not speaking ” Are you feeling sorry for her again?” Jocelyn shook her head. “No, she deserves it, but does she really have nothing to do with my allergic reaction?”
Skyler glanced at her and said vaguely, “You’ll find out later.”
Jocelyn had no idea what Skyler meant by that.
It was not until she arrived at the company that she saw the company-wide notice that Fiona
was fired, so she guessed that this matter should have something to do with Fiona. Come to think of it, the reason Davis returned to Mauve City ahead of time was to deal with this matter.
The fact that Skyler was making Fiona being fired so public meant he was trying to get her out of the jewelry industry. No one would dare to hire Fiona now unless they wanted to offend Skyler. One had to know that unless they did not want a place in the Century Jewelry Competition, they should not hire Fiona again after she was fired from Prosperity Jewelry. For some reason, Jocelyn remembered when they were eating in Moon Pavilion, Fiona looked thoughtful when she heard that Jocelyn was allergic. Also, the reason she did not want to join the Ocean Heart Jewelry Competition might be to create an alibi for herself.
However, she did not think that Skyler would find out after she planned for so long.
During lunch, David told Jocelyn the truth. “She has a relative working in the kitchen of the hotel we booked. He tampered with the porridge and added seafood. Back when I was having breakfast with Yuni, Fiona was there with us, so she knew Yuni had a habit of taking porridge for the people she was eating with. Hence, Fiona decided to tamper with the porridge.” Jocelyn suddenly realized what was going on. To be honest, the time between those actions was so long that she could not even connect the two.
At the same time, Skyler was eating in the president’s office when he received an international phone call.
“Skyler, how can you be so out of line?” Josie’s enraged and stifling voice came from the phone.
