    Caleb had gone abroad for the past two days, so he hadn’te to work–some small tasks needed


    to bepleted by her.


    She had nned to eat a sandwich quickly for lunch to save time and then get back to work. After a


    few bites, she casually checked her phone and saw the message.


    She was surprised that Joe ordered a custom traditional dress for her. However, he hadn’t


    mentioned anything to her.


    Skr immediately called Paul. Paul answered quickly, “Hello, Mrs. Martin. Are you on your lunch


    break?”


    “Yes, I’m just taking a quick break. Why did Mr. Martin suddenly order a custom traditional dress for


    me?” Skr asked.


    Paul replied, “I’m not entirely sure. Perhaps it’s because traditional dresses have be quite


    popr among the girls in Jipsburgtely. It’s part of the retro craze. So, Mr. Martin must have


    thought of you. I must say, Mr. Martin is really thoughtful when ites to you.


    “I’ll send you the address. It would be best if you could get there before 4:00 pm. The tailor is very


    experienced, and finishes work early, and many people are waiting in line for him to make their


    traditional dresses.”


    “Alright, send me the address. I’ll try to be there before 4:00 pm.” Skr nced at the time. It was


    noon. She should have enough time.


    After finishing her sandwich, she immediately got back to work.


    “By the way, Mr. Martin has been quite busy these past few days, so he hasn’t returned to Gxy


    Vi,” Paul mentioned hurriedly as Skr was about to hang up.


    Skr’s concern prompted her to tell Paul, “Make sure he takes care of himself.”


    “Certainly!” Paul replied enthusiastically. As soon as the call ended, Paul hurried upstairs to Joe’s


    office.


    Joe had only had a cup of coffee for lunch. He skipped the meal entirely.


    Paul noticed the steaming coffee on the table He wondered why Joe had returned to his old habit of


    skipping meals. Previously, Joe’s lunches had been well–bnced and hearty. In the past, it didn’t


    seem unusual. Paul thought it was normal for Joe to eat this way. But now, he felt that Joe only


    drinking coffee and skipping meals was really unhealthy.


    “Mrs. Martin mentioned during the call that you should be mindful of your health. Skipping lunch and


    just drinking coffee isn’t good for you. Should I order some takeout for you?”


    Paul asked cautiously.

    Joe’s attention sharpened when he heard the words “Mrs. Martin“. He nced at Paul and asked,


    “Skr said that?”


    “Yes, Mrs. Martin asked you to take care of yourself.” Paul nodded eagerly. The specifics of who


    made the call were less important than the fact that Skr had expressed concern.


    Joe’s stern expression softened slightly. “She’s considerate. Go ahead and order some takeout


    based on my usual preferences.”


    “Understood.” Paul swiftly left to ce the takeout order. He realized that Skr could effortlessly


    handle what others struggled to achieve. He merely passed on a message, and she got Joe to have


    lunch.


    As the office door closed, Joe tapped his fingers on the phone screen on his desk. Over the past


    three days, Skr had not contacted him at all.


    They said men turned cold and forgetful once they got out of bed. But in his eyes, the heartless one


    over the past three days had been Skr.


    “Unfeeling,” Joe muttered to himself.


    He might have forgiven her if she had sent even a single message during those three days.


    However, for now, he would ept her apology through Paul and try to forgive her.


    …


    Annabelle felt anxious. She got back into her car and called Jeremy.
