Chapter 122

    Skr arrived for her first day on Alexander’s team. As soon as she entered the building.


    Alexander’s assistant, Oliver, guided her through the onboarding process.


    It wasn’t tooplicated, so it didn’t take long


    Afterward, Oliver brought her to meet Alexander.


    Alexander was intently focused on cleaning a bronze artifact


    He didn’t realize that both of them were entering the room.


    Oliver gestured for Skr to remain silent.


    Skr understood that handling antiques requiredplete concentration to prevent mistakes. She


    was surprised to find someone of Alexander’s age and status still working on the antiques with his


    own hands.


    She nced at the bronze artifact’s inscriptions.


    It seemed to be from the early Augustan period with inscriptions in ssical Glorian.


    Skr was captivated. She could see the journey of this artifact. From its creation to its burial with


    its owner, this artifact was just recently discovered.


    She knew Alexander’s team was working with the country’s archeologists.


    Oliver was watching Alexander with admiration. In this industry, Alexander was a legend. Many


    people were jealous of him for being the legend’s assistant. He had learned a lot in his years with


    Alexander.


    Alexander raised his head to find Oliver and Skr standing there.


    He then dropped his tools and walked over with a cheerful smile. “Can you tell me when the artifact


    was


    made?”


    “During the Augustan period,” Skr replied.


    Alexander’s eyes lit up. He was once again impressed by Skr’s knowledge. “You’re right, Skye.


    Can you tell me who your mentor is?”


    “I don’t have a mentor. I learned from an elderlydy at home. She had a lot to teach.” Skr was


    reminded that Vi didn’t take her in as her apprentice. She only cared for her like a


    granddaughter.


    Alexander didn’t press further. “I’m not sure what you’re capable of yet, so I can’t assign you to a


    specific job. I have a painting that my team is reluctant to work on. Would you like to take a look


    and see if you can restore it?”

    Oliver’s eyes widened. What was going on?


    Why was Alexander handing Skr one of the most challenging projects?


    Skr was new to the team. She wasn’t as experienced yet and was given a difficult task. They


    finally had a beautiful new member. He hoped Alexander wouldn’t scare her away with his unusual


    way of working.

    “Sure, I’ll give it a try,” Skr replied without hesitation, as if it was a very simple thing to do.


    Oliver was stunned. Even though he wasn’t there during Skr’s interview, his colleagues


    mentioned that she was incredibly skilled.


    They said she was even more skilled than those who had been with Alexander’s team for years.


    When he first saw Skr, he was so captivated by her beauty that he had forgotten about what his


    colleagues said about her.


    His colleagues told him not to judge a book by its cover. Yet, he had done it to her.


    Alexander was pleased. He knew Caleb had finally done something right. He had good taste in


    women.


    He was ready to have Skr as his granddaughter–inw.


    It wouldn’t matter, even if she couldn’t fully restore the painting. She would have ample


    opportunities to work with various ancient artifacts in his team. He believed she would be an expert


    in a few years. During lunchtime, Skr headed to the hospital.
