Annie and Skr’s eyes met. Annie,posed and graceful, spoke with a hint <b>of </b>surprise. “Skr, it’s really you!”This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
“You two know each other?” Steven and Janine eximed in unison.
“Imagine that! Downstairs, you mentioning your sister Skr jogged my memory<b>–</b><b>l</b>
have a friend named Skr too! We both did a double–take, wondering if it could be
the same person. And guess what? Small world–it is!”
Steven hadn’t expected this. “What a coincidence!”
“Yeah, what a coincidence,” Janine chimed in, a wide smile on her face. It seemed
like fate was bringing them together, destined to be family.
Skr quicklyposed herself and nodded with a smile. “Indeed, it’s quite a
coincidence.”
However, a doubt lingered in her mind. Annie had recently been involved with Joe, even using tactics to separate her from him. Shortly after, she became Steven’s girlfriend.
“So you’re the sister Steven talks about,” Annie said warmly. “He mentioned you’re brilliant, working on Mr. Gardner Senior’s team. I didn’t expect you to excel in both
work and the kitchen! Did you prepare some of these dishes? I’m eager to try them.‘
<b>It </b>seemed like Annie and Skr were getting along well. Steven was delighted to see
them bonding.
“Skr’s a <b>great </b>cook,” Steven said. “Of course, Mom’s cooking is excellent too. <b>Try </b>everything and see if <b>you </b>can guess which dishes Skr made.”
<b>“</b>Sure,” Annie replied eagerly.

Only when everyone was nearly full did Janine ask, “Annie, how did you and Skr
meet?”
Annie’s smile faltered slightly. “We met at a dinner party through a mutual friend. I remember thinking Skr was stunning, like a celebrity. We’ve crossed paths a few times since then, but everyone’s been busy. Maybe we could meet more often in the future,” she added with a hint of anticipation.
After Annie finished speaking, she exchanged a smile with Steven. Anyone could see that the two had a close rtionship.
“Ms. Silver, are you still working at the TV station?” Skr asked casually, wiping her mouth with a napkin, her smile still devoid of any trace of uneasiness.
Skr knew about Joe’s anger and the resulting consequences for the Silver family. Things hadn’t been going well for themtely.
Annie’s grip tightened on her cup. “My show was suspended for a while,” she said casually, picking up a piece of meat, “but I’ll be hosting a new program soon. Maybe I’ll interview elites from various fields, and Steven will definitely be the first guest.”
As their eyes met, Steven’s were filled with youthful romantic affection. Annie seemed equally focused.
Janine felt a touch of self–consciousness, thinking how wonderful young love was.
“I see,” Skr said, not pursuing the topic further.
Though their rtionship was new, Steven’s genuine affection and admiration for Annie were clear. Skr, having never seen him so fond of a woman, couldn’t help but wonder why it had to be Annie.
After dinner, Janine wouldn’t let Annie wash the dishes, it being her first visit. Skr had volunteered, but Steven stopped her. He and Janine went to wash the dishes together, allowing Janine to ask about Annie, whom she very much approved of.
