Chapter 43 Jocelyn turned around and stared at him coldly. “Is there anything else, President Moore?” Skyler frowned and said, “It’s nothing of great importance, but you’d better keep your distance from Abel in the future. He’s not on good terms with me!”
Jocelyn nodded and said, “Alright, I got it, President Moore.”
Jocelyn left after speaking. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Skyler massaged the center of his brows. Jocelyn’s attitude tonight made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
After Jocelyn returned to her room, she threw the cuff on her bed and fell asleep. Skyler stood on the spot for a while before heading to the guest room to take a shower. After taking a shower, he stood before the entrance of the master bedroom for a few seconds. He recalled his conversation with Jocelyn just now. He felt that it was inappropriate for him to hug Jocelyn to sleep.
He turned around and walked toward the guest room.
Before sleeping, he put a mint in his mouth. Ever since he quit smoking, it became a habit for him to occasionally have a mint. He thought about how he easily he had fallen asleep while hugging Jocelyn previously. He felt that he could fall asleep quickly with her in his arms. However, he did not feel like sleeping even after lying on the bed for three hours.
Skyler felt extremely frustrated. He sat up and thought of Jocelyn, who was sleeping in the room next to his. After a moment of hesitation, he finally swallowed two sleeping pills before getting under the covers to continue sleeping.
The next morning.
During breakfast, Skyler suddenly asked Jocelyn, “What shower gel do you use?” Jocelyn was stunned. “I don’t really pay attention to the shower gel that I use. I just use anything available!” “What’s the name of the shower gel that you’re currently using?” Jocelyn told him the name of the shower gel that she used. Skyler then asked, “Do you use body lotion?”
Jocelyn frowned. She did not understand why Skyler was suddenly asking her such a question.
She shook her head and said, “I don’t have such a habit!”
It seemed like Skyler had not slept well. There was an annoyed expression on his face. “What shampoo do you use?”
Jocelyn glanced at him like she was looking at a ghost. She toned down her emotions after seeing the unhappy expression on his face. She then told him calmly, “Kérastase!”
Skyler nodded and took a few bites of his breakfast. He seemed to be slightly absentminded.” How about perfume? Do you use it?”
Jocelyn did not know what to say in the face of Skyler’s odd behavior. She ate her breakfast hastily and said, “I’m sorry, I don’t use perfume. I don’t have such a habit!”
Skyler nodded and stopped asking her questions. After finishing breakfast , Jocelyn grabbed her handbag and got up. She then went to change her shoes.
Skyler finally came to his senses. “Where are you going?” Jocelyn replied to him in a straightforward manner, “I’m going to work!” Skyler frowned slightly and asked, “Aren’t you coming with me?”
A cold and distant expression formed on Jocelyn’s face. “President Moore, I know how to drive. I won’t have to trouble you to fetch me to the office in the future. Besides, given the transactional nature of our
marriage, I think that it’s better for us to avoid going to the company together!”

Skyler’s mind cleared at once. He recalled what he had told Jocelyn in the past two days.
His voice turned icier as well. “Do as you please!”
Jocelyn changed her hoses and left. There was a hint of unhappiness in Skyler’s gaze.
As soon as Jocelyn left, Skyler told the butler to purchase the shower gel and shampoo that Jocelyn had mentioned just now.
He felt that Jocelyn’s body scent could make him fall asleep easily. It must be the fragrance of her shower gel and shampoo.
Jocelyn’s car was an ordinary Volkswagen Scooter. It was parked in the White household the last time she had returned home.
Previously, Michael had set up a trap for her after she returned home. She had no intentions to drive it back to the White household.
After what Skyler had told her yesterday, she decided not to take Skyler’s car to work anymore.
She told the butler of No. 1 Villa about it. The butler reacted extremely quickly. He acted quickly and helped her to drive her car over the previous night.
It was undeniable that the butlers and servants in Skyler’s villa were all extremely professional.
She rarely saw signs of anyone else in the villa. Only the butler appeared occasionally.
However, the plants in the garden were well tended to. Every corner of the villa was always clean and tidy as well. Besides, a large and complete range of dishes were always prepared during mealtimes. Jocelyn drove her Volkswagen Scooter to the office.
When Jocelyn arrived at the company, she realized that nobody was gossiping today.
She sat down in surprise. She then saw Yvie walking over. Yvie said softly, “Jocelyn, I heard that Director Payne will be coming to work today!”
Jocelyn was stunned. She instantly understood everything. It was no wonder everyone in the department were as quiet and obedient as kittens today.
She nodded and said, “I understand!”

Yvie spoke in a soft and light tone. She seemed rather silly. “If you manage to impress Director Lang, Fiona Payne will never dare to cause trouble for you again!” Jocelyn glanced at her. She chuckled and nodded. “Alright, I’ll listen to you!” As soon as she finished speaking, she heard someone greeting someone else with a laugh.“ Good morning, Director Lang!” Jocelyn raised her head to look at the legendary Director Payne. However, she froze in shock the moment she caught sight of him. She looked at the man that had greeted all the employees with a shocked expression on her face.
