Chapter 316


    “He’s probably done with his work?” Paul’s tone held a hint of uncertainty.


    Skr didn’t press further. Even though the dishes hadn’t arrived yet, she had bought some local


    fruits on the way to the restaurant.


    While enjoying the fruit, she chatted with Natalie on WhatsApp.


    Natalie protested about Skr’s sudden trip. “How could you leave me and go on a vacation alone?


    If you’d just asked, I could have joined you.”


    “Mr. Hughes just got back from his business trip. You two are in your honeymoon phase now. I don’t


    want to get in your way. Go enjoy your time together.”


    Natalie seemed to be typing a lengthy message but never sent it. Skr waited, but


    Natalie remained silent.


    Skr then assumed that Natalie had taken her advice to spend quality time with


    Jeremy.


    Half an hourter, when Joe hurried over, almost all the dishes had been served.


    “Mr. Martin!” Paul immediately stood up.


    Seeing Joe, Skr smiled. “Right on time, Mr. Martin.” Joe had said half an hour, and


    indeed, he was precisely on time.


    “Mr. Martin?” Joe raised an eyebrow coldly. He was clearly displeased with the title.


    Skr pretended not to notice his displeasure. She couldn’t think of any other way to


    address him with Paul around.


    “All the dishes are here. Please enjoy,” the waiter said after serving thest dish.


    “Thank you.” Skr nodded politely at the waiter.


    Paul was sharp and observant, and naturally, he sensed the subtle tension between Joe and


    Skr. He was curious about what other titles Skr could have used besides “Mr. Martin“.


    Joe sat down next to Skr, and at that moment, a faint scent of perfume wafted

    Skr had a keen sense of smell. She didn’t wear perfume herself, but Joe usually wore a light


    men’s cologne. The faint scent now wasn’t that.


    Skr smiled politely at Joe and began trying the local specialties. The dishes were


    enticing.


    After noticing Skr’s polite distance, Joe looked at her with his deep eyes. “Are you feeling tired?”


    “Not really. I’m just hungry,” Skr replied.

    Joe’s eyes narrowed slightly, and an intimidating air emanated from him.


    Skr didn’t notice the tension at first because the restaurant Paul had chosen was


    just too good.


    Although Jispurg had restaurants that featured Korel City’s specialties, they couldn’tpare to the


    authenticity and vor of the locals.

    Paul keenly noticed that Joe seemed unhappy. He dared not touch hi


    Feeling half full, Skr finally realized that neither Joe nor Paul had eaten. In


    hindsight, she looked at Joe. “Aren’t you… guys eating?”


    She had ordered so many dishes, but she couldn’t finish them alone, especially since


    she had been watching her diet to maintain her figure.
