Jim looked at Skyler in shock, he thought he had heard wrong. He dug his ears and stared at Skyler with disbelief. “No way, is what you’re referring to the same as what I’m thinking?”
Skyler’s eyes flashed. “Do you know it or not? If you don’t just go away!”
Jim looked at how he was instantly understood.
He could not help but wonder. “Don’t tell me you dreamt of yourself and Jocelyn!”
Jim had instantly hit the nail on the head about Skyler’s situation and he became a little flustered. “If you talk nonsense again, believe me, I’ll throw you directly off the top floor.”
Jim held back his smile but he could not help the twitching in his shoulders. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
In the end, he failed to hold himself back and burst out laughing.
Skyler’s expression was as black as the bottom of the pot as he wamed him. “Jim, enough is enough!”
Jim held back his laughter. “Alright, alright, alright, I’ll try my best! If I had to say anything, this is typical. You might be saying no but your body is being particularly honest.”
Skyler wore a dark expression and said nothing.
Jim continued adding salt to the wound. “To put it bluntly, it’s dishonesty. You clearly want it yet you refuse to admit it!”
Skyler looked at him calmly. “I’m not!”
Jim was stunned when he saw that Skyler was looking particularly solemn.
This man really had no intentions about Jocelyn!
He straightened his expression. “Then, it just means you’re losing control of your heart. You know, a man’s body is different from his mind after all. Don’t think too much about it!”
Skyler snorted coldly. “I’m not overthinking. You just talk too much nonsense!”
Jim tapped his nose innocently. “Weren’t you the one who asked?!”
Jocelyn was going to have lunch with Yvie in the afternoon.
Yvie had learned about the grudge between Giada and Jocelyn that morning and had been
sneaking glances at Giada all morning
They were both in the elevator when she leaned into Jocelyn’s ear and whispered, “Jocelyn, could she have come to start trouble with you?”
Jocelyn glanced at Yvie and said taintly, “It’s okay. I’m not afraid of trouble. If there’s any trouble, I’ll deal with it.”
Yvie noted that Jocelyn was so calm The main person involved in the storm was unfrazzled but instead, the onlookers were the ones worried
She pursed her lips. “Be careful anyway!”
Jocelyn knew she meant well and nodded. “No worries!”
At that moment, Jocelyn’s cellphone rang.
She saw that it was a call from Lexie and answered.
“Hey, Jocelyn. I’m downstairs at your company. Let me treat you to lunch this aftemoon!”
Jocelyn raised her brows. “Why are you thinking of treating me all of a sudden?”
Lexie answered ominously, “I’ll tell you in a bit!”
Jocelyn hung up and could only inform Yvie that her friend was coming and have her go for lunch alone.
Hearing Lexie, she seemed to have something to say to her so she could not bring Yvie along.
Jocelyn went downstairs and saw Lexie standing not far from the company.
CO
She walked over. “Let’s go, what do you want to eat? Your arm is not as healed yet so stop running around!”
Lexie was a little embarrassed. “I’m alright. Anyway, I have another arm to use!”
The two found a restaurant nearby and ordered their food. Jocelyn looked at Lexie and said, “Come on, what’s such a secret that you couldn’t tell me over the phone!”
Lexie pursed her lips, and her cold little face turned somewhat red. “Jocelyn, does your company still need new employees?”
Jocelyn was stunned. “You want to work in Prosperity? Isn’t it good for you to freelance at home? You earn a lot more and can recover from your injury.“
Top hackers like Lexie earned enough to even feed others for several years by simply accepting one big job.
Lexie pursed her lips. “I… I want to work close to Davis. I can do anything!”
Jocelyn looked at her disgruntled. “Prosperity Jewelry sure is very popular today. Everyone wants to come over!”
Lexie was stunned when she heard this. “Who else has gone to your company?”
Jocelyn answered, “Giada Crain. She joined the design department!”
Lexie frowned tightly, she looked like she was readying for a fight at any time. “Did she come to trouble you?”
Jocelyn could neither laugh nor cry. “That’s not the last of it, I’m afraid she’ll start something with me in the future!”
Lexie was worried “You have to be careful then!”
Jocelyn noted that Lexie had come looking for her specifically because she wanted to be closer to Davis
After pondering for a moment, she said, “Xixi, why don’t you join the IT department! All departments of Prosperity Jewelry are recruiting people. The IT department is on the same floor as the design department. While there are not many people in it, they have high requirements in terms of professional ability. But based on your ability, they will definitely welcome you!”
Lexie blinked. “I can?”
Jocelyn smiled. “Since when were you not confident in yourself? Your one-man operation is way better than any professional team!”
Lexie smiled awkwardly.
Jocelyn could not help teasing her. “You have forgotten your best friend now that you’ve got Davis. You even came looking for me for lunch for him!”
The atmosphere was relaxed, and Lexie blurted out without thinking, “Aren’t you the same as me?!
It dawned on her after she said that and her expression immediately changed.
She could not help biting her lip, as if she had said something wrong.
The smile on Jocelyn’s face faded. “It’s all right. It happened so long ago that I forgot!”
Lexie looked at her, face filled with worry.
While Jocelyn said that, Lexie was still apologetic.
Walter had been both Jocelyn and Lexie’s senior. He was a doctoral student and Jocelyn had been infatuated with him at that time.
In the end, Walter’s fiancée appeared and humiliated Jocelyn so that she would stay away from him!
Jocelyn only found out then that Walter’s family had arranged a fiancée for him. That said, Walter was such a brilliant person, how could he not have someone already!
