Chapter 142


    your


    home in the same direction as Joe? Are both of you living in Jubnt Street? If so, he can give you


    a ride on the way.” Rowan made the arrangement directly.


    Skr blinked. She knew Joe owned many properties and Jubnt Street seemed to be near Martin


    Group.


    However, it was not on the way to their current residence in Gxy Vis.


    “It’s not convenient. I live in Gxy Vis.” Joe refused directly without hesitation or searching for


    an


    excuse.


    Rowan was taken aback. Meanwhile, Annie’s smile stiffened.


    The others acted as if they hadn’t heard their conversation.


    “I’ll just take a cab Annie clutched her limited–edition bag lightly.


    Rowan felt a bit awkward. “I’ll drive you then. I also have an apartment on Jubnt Street. I’ll stay


    there.


    tonight”


    “Thank you, Mr. Jakeman.” Annie epted.


    After Joe got into Skr’s small car, everyone was stunned again.


    “What brand is that little car? Is it a newly released limited edition?” Lukas frowned and asked. He


    didn’t


    recognize it.


    Annie knew what brand it was. The car had been advertised on her show. “It’s a domestic new


    energy


    vehicle.”


    She wondered how far things had progressed between him and Skr.


    “It must be Mr. Joe’s secretary’s car,” Markmented.


    His eyes sparkled. Skr came from an ordinary background, and he thought that she was


    pretending to be innocent. He felt that Skr was likely being supported by Joe now.


    He spected how long Joe would keep her before he got bored and whether she would continue


    to be so proud, as powerless girls were the easiest to control.


    Rowan clicked his tongue. “I almost thought it was some kind of limited edition model.”


    On the way back, Joe was slightly drunk.


    Her car felt even smaller with him in it. Normally, she didn’t notice anything amiss. But with Joe, the


    car seemed narrower.


    “If you’re tired, you can sleep for a while. I’ll wake you when we get home,” Skr said after


    ncing at the

    tired Joe.


    Joe opened his eyes and looked at her. “Okay.”

    Perhaps it was the rxed and peaceful atmosphere in the car, plus theck of aggression from


    Skr,


    that made him put his guard down.


    There was no perfume smell in the car, only a faint scent of medicine. It was probably another of


    her. mixes with some mood–stabilizing effects.


    Skr put on some soothing music. Normally suffering from sleep disorders, Joe fell asleep without


    realizing it.


    They reached Gxy Vis, and Joe slept soundly throughout the ride.


    When they stopped, Joe opened his eyes. His eyes still held traces of sleepiness.


    “You’re awake? We’re home.” Skr was surprised. She had thought he might sleep a bit longer.


    Joe hummed in response, then looked at his watch. “Let’s go home.”

    When the words slipped out of his mouth, Joe paused as he was about to open the car door.


    He turned back and nced at Skr as she was preparing to get out of the car.


    Skr saw him looking at her. “What’s wrong?”


    “Nothing, let’s go,” Joe got out of the car.


    The noticeable height difference between them was evident under the moonlight. Joe’s figure


    completely enveloped Skr.


    Skr looked at their ovepping shadows on the ground and blinked.


    “Let me hold the bag.” Joe took the bag from Skr’s hand.


    The money she had won was all in cash. They were stored in a tote bag from the club. It was


    several million dors in cash.


    The bag was somewhat heavy. This weight was nothing significant for Skr, but before she could


    speak, Joe had taken the bag.


    “Thank you.”


    They entered the brightly lit Gxy Vis. They had left the lights on when they left.


    It was already 1:30 am.


    Skr was feeling sleepy. Normally, she didn’t stay a
