Chapter 34
After Fiona finished speaking, everyone immediately fell silent. Jocelyn took her phone and returned to her seat expressionlessly, Fiona glanced at her, snorted coldly, and stood up to leave. Once Fiona left, the people started discussing again. “When there are no tigers in the mountains, the monkeys call themselves kings!” “Yeah, ever since Big Sis Josie left, some people have really thought of themselves as number one in the design department!”
“I wonder when Director Lang will be back. We need to look at her emotions every time if we want to say something!”
Jocelyn was holding a pen expressionlessly and absent-mindedly drawing on the design draft. She knew that no matter who it was, they would be gossiped about behind their backs. However, the Director Lang they were talking about, Jocelyn wanted to meet this person. It was said that this director of the design department was a very capable person but had gone on a business trip for the past two days! On the top floor, in the CEO’s office. Skyler’s phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw the name ‘Josie’. After a moment of silence, he answered the call. “Skyler, what do you mean by this?” Josie questioned. An impatient look flashed across Skyler’s eyes. “What’s the matter?” Josie sounded like he was about to cry. “You didn’t even help me back then. Do you really like her?”
She received a call from Fiona and learned about the situation in the country. She was about to go crazy. She really did not expect that everything would change after she left for a few days! Skyler frowned. “Back then, the online media wasn’t as developed as it is today!”
Josie could not help but raise her voice, “But can she be the same as me? I was your girlfriend for six years. She just got a marriage certificate with you!”
Skyler looked displeased. “That’s one more marriage certificate than you have!” Josie sounded like he was about to cry. “Skyler, I love you so much. How could you do this to
me?!”
Skyler was expressionless. “You were the one who told me that you wanted to register our marriage. You were also the one who stood me up and wanted to leave. Josie, no one forced
you!”
“That’s because I feel that you don’t love me at all. I just want to prove that you love me, but you don’t take me seriously. Don’t you feel it?” Josie cried very sadly.
Skyler’s tone was slightly cold. “So, are you trying to prove whether I love you by standing me up again and again? Josie, your actions are very childish!”
Josie was a little anxious. She could clearly feel that she was getting further and further away from Skyler. She was anxious to get everything back on track. She did not want to pursue her career anymore. She also did not want to prove whether Skyler loved her or not still.
She only wanted to return to Skyler’s side. “Skyler, I’ll go back now. Divorce that woman, okay? Your family doesn’t even know about your marriage. As long as you divorce her, we’ll pretend none of this happened, okay?” Skyler rejected her coldly. “This is just your wishful thinking!”
Indeed, only Josie and the White family knew that he was married to Jocelyn. Every time Josie stood him up, he would arrange for someone to secretly observe his movements at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. He was well aware of this.
As for his family and the Sonnet family, they thought that Josie had gone abroad. Josie and Skyler did not end up registering their marriage, but they did not know that Skyler had registered his marriage with someone else.
Josie was about to break down. She asked hysterically, “Skyler, have you really fallen for that Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
woman?!!!
Skyler’s expression was ugly as he hung up. However, just as he put down his phone, it rang again. Skyler’s expression was ugly. Without even looking at the caller ID, he said coldly and impatiently, “Are you done?!” The person on the other end of the line choked. “Tsk, who provoked you? Why are you so irritable?”
Skyler was stunned. He glanced at the caller ID and realized that it was Jim Rand. He was good friends with Jim. When they were in university, they studied abroad together and came back together. Their relationship was extraordinary. He rubbed his forehead and muttered, “I’m quite fine!” Seeing that he did not want to talk about it, Jim did not ask further. “We haven’t seen each other for a few days. Let’s have a drink at the usual place tonight. How about it?” Skyler thought about it and agreed. “See you tonight!”
After hanging up the phone, Skyler stared at his computer. When he thought of Josie’s hysterical question about whether he had fallen for her, his expression darkened.
What did it mean to like someone? Skyler had never let others know his preferences easily.
He loved smoking a few years ago, but in the end, he quit. He felt that there was nothing in this world that he could not bear to part with! Getting married to Jocelyn was just going with the flow, nothing more! Just as Skyler was thinking, Yale knocked on the door and entered. “President Moore, Miss
Rand is here. She brought Chad along, and said she is here to offer a humble apology!”
