Chapter 723


    Veronica was not wrong about Shirley. She admired Shirley''s working capabilities and it was evident


    that she was a hard-worker.


    After she finished her exnation and analysis, Garrick saw her in a different light.


    "It does sound promising. If you have some time to spare, please bring me on a tour of thepany,"


    he suggested.


    Shirley immediately understood that he wanted to head over to thepany for a survey. Hearing that,


    she was so excited that her eyes lit up with anticipation.


    "Sure. I''m avable anytime when you''re free." She nodded heavily while feeling ecstatic.


    Initially, she thought it would be difficult to convince Cyberten Holdings to cooperate with her, but it


    seemed like she was getting closer to victory.


    As she was happily staring at Garrick, she saw two people appear from the elevator entrance out of the


    corner of her eye.


    Frowning, Shirley found herself pausing in her motions as her hand holding the fork stopped in the air


    while a wave of unnoticeable anger shed across her eyes.


    Why is Sklyer here?


    She came here today to talk with Garrick about their partnership, so in order to not let Skyler ruin the


    atmosphere she and Garrick had, she turned around and looked outside the window to avoid being


    seen.


    ording to Skyler''s temper, he might cause an embarrassing scer. If he angered Garrick, her


    chances for cooperation would be slim to none.


    Propping her elbows on the table, she covered half of her face to avoid being seen by Skyler. However,


    she did not know that he hade here for her.


    "Didn''t you hear my calls?"


    He wore a vibrant light yellow suit and had his hairbed up, which added a trace of arrogance and


    unruliness to his charm.


    Walking straight toward them, he stopped beside Shirley, looked at the man opposite her with narrowed


    eyes, and questioned her.


    "Skyler, it''s such a pleasure meeting you here, but unfortunately, Miss Wilson and I have just finished


    lunch. Would you like to sit down and have some?" Garrick asked while maintaining his usual refined


    attitude.


    Looking at the leftover food on the table, Skyler had a feeling that Garrick was throwing sarcastic


    remarks at him.


    Meanwhile, Shirley did not expect Skyler toe here for her. No matter how hard she wanted to hide


    from him, she obviously could not.


    While slowly turning her head back, she looked at him with unamused eyes. "Sorry. I was busy and


    didn''t hear my phone ringing."


    Then, she looked guiltily at Garrick and was afraid that Skyler would make a big fuss, so she


    immediately ttered him with a smile. "President Brennan, please excuse me for a bit while I tend to


    some personal matters."


    "I need to use the bathroom."


    With a slight nod, Garrick got up and walked around Skyler to head for the bathroom.


    While he left, Shirley''s eyes followed his leaving figure. She was extremely nervous because she was


    afraid that Skyler might anger him and ruin their partnership. Yet, this was all observed by Skyler as he


    interpreted it as her utmost admiration for Garrick, so much so to the point where she seemed to be


    entranced.

    "You seem to have a unique taste in men. Are you into older men?"


    After all, Garrick was over forty years old. Although he was a mature and charming gentleman, he was


    still a decade olderthan her.


    Into older... men?


    Shirley felt her temples pulsing. Who would have thought that Skyler would think of such a thing?


    "You..."


    With an intense re, she wanted to retort him, but she immediately swallowed her words as soon as


    she thought of the unfavorable sight of Garrick walking in on their ugly argument.


    After considering the situation, she decided to endure her rage. "Young Master Skyler, do you have


    something to tell me?"


    Watching her feign ignorance, he was so angry that his eyes were burning with rage, which prompted


    him to grab her wrist. "Do you have a conscience?"


    Feeling the immense grip, she felt pain and tried to shake him off but to no avail.


    As Skyler had his back toward the restaurant, he could not see that the other guests present were


    casting strange nces at him.


    On the other hand, Shirley felt embarrassed when she noticed the looks being thrown at them.


    "If you have anything to say, you can say them without getting physical," she warned.
