Chapter 231


    Skr leaned against the car and fell asleep soon.


    When Joe saw the fatigue on Skr’s face, he recalled the photo John had sent him today.


    Skr was extremely focused while working. Joe was pretty sure anyone who saw that photo would


    be unable to tear their eyes away from her.


    It seemed that he still didn’t know her well enough.


    Moreover, she never deliberately showed her good side to him. Whenever she was with him, she


    was


    sincere, natural, and casual.


    Subconsciously, his gaze became a bit more focused at that moment.


    Lucas was shocked when he noticed Joe intensely looking at Skr.


    It seemed that Joe liked Skr. He had even taken the initiative to pick up Skr from work today.


    Lucas drove Joe to and from work almost every day, and he had never seen him treat a woman the


    way


    he was treating Skr now,


    Skr’s phone suddenly rang while she was sleeping soundly. The ringtone broke the silence in the


    car.


    Still a little groggy, Skr opened her eyes. She was stunned for a moment when she found herself


    leaning on Joe’s shoulder.


    But she didn’t have time to say anything to Joe because she had already answered the phone.


    “Skye, the n has changed. I’ll be gone on a business trip tomorrow and the day after. Can I see


    your tonight?” Steven asked.


    Skr nced at Joe. She wasn’t sure if he was avable now that the meeting had been pushed


    forward.


    Joe had heard Steven’s request since it was very quiet in the car. He nodded.


    Skr was a little surprised by Joe’s easy–going nature. “Sure, Steven. I’ll send you the


    restaurant’s


    addresster.”


    “Okay,” Steven said. He had been worried for the past couple of days.


    At first, he had thought that he would be able to meet Joe the day after tomorrow. However, he


    unexpectedly had to go on a business trip. His trip could be as short as one or two days, or it could


    end up being a week long.


    He was really worried about Skr; he feared that she had met a scumbag again. After all,


    Christopher had taught them all a huge lesson.


    There weren’t many good men in the world.


    Skr became fully awake after the call ended. During the call earlier, her eyes had had a distant


    look, as if she were in a dream.


    Beside her, Joe’s thin lips curled slightly. He couldn’t help but think that she had looked really cute


    just


    now.


    “I’m going to look for a restaurant. What do you want to eat?” Skr asked.

    Perhaps because she had just woken up, her voice was a little coquettish as she spoke.


    Joe was in a good mood after hearing her voice. A faint smile shed in his eyes. “You can book


    any restaurant that serves the food Steven likes,” he said.


    Skr couldn’t helpughing when she thought of Steven’s favorite ce to go. She eximed,


    “Really?”


    “Yeah.”


    “You’d better not regret it,” Skr warned yfully. She imagined Joe, the CEO in a suit, eating


    skewers at a restaurant. She couldn’t help her urge tough.


    Seeing her mischievous smile, Joe raised his eyebrows and asked, “A barbeque restaurant?”


    He remembered the photo Paul had sent him not too long ago. Skr had been eating barbecue at


    a


    restaurant with a man.


    Joe figured the man must have been one of her brothers.


    Skr hadn’t expected Joe to guess it. She asked in a surprised tone, “How did you know?”


    Joe curled his thin lips slightly. “You guess,” he said.


    “You’ll tell me when you want to. You can keep it a secret for now.” Skr hadn’t expected Joe to


    pull


    such a trick.


    She had heard people say that no matter how old a man was, he would always have a childish


    side. She understood that now.


    But she wasn’t going to go along and make a guess!
