Jocelyn ignored everyoneâs gaze, pursed her lips, and said softly, âAre you busy?â She did not call him President Moore or Mr. Moore, and she did not call him by his name too for fear of exposing herself. It was quiet on the other end of the phone. Skyler was silent for two seconds before he said, â Iâm not busy, whatâs the matter?â Someone jokingly mouthed with a smile on their lips, âAsk him what heâs doing.â
Jocelyn saw everyoneâs look of anticipation and continued, âAre youâ¦â Before Jocelyn could ask, Skyler answered, âIâm in a bar.â âItâs pretty quiet over there.â Jocelyn was a little surprised.
Skylerâs voice seemed to be tinged with a chuckle, âIâm in the private room.â
Jocelyn suddenly remembered that Skylerâs private room in Vintage Bar was so soundproof that no noise could penetrate the walls. It was pin-drop silent from the outside. She hesitated for a second and said, âWell, if youâre at a bar, Iâll hang up first.â The alumni were getting anxious. Their faces changed slightly, and someone cried, âJocelyn, you canât do this!â
Skylerâs voice was cold. âWhoâs that?â
Jocelyn was a little helpless. âItâs one of the alumni. Iâm at the alumni party? Everyone wants to meet you. I originally planned to ask you to come to pick me up, but you had something to drink too so you canât drive.â
After listening to Jocelyn, Skyler understood and said, âIt doesnât matter, I will let the driver drive me, you go have fun first.â
Nothing was exposed and it worked out perfectly. Jocelyn finally breathed a sigh of relief and hung up the phone.
As soon as she hung up the phone, everyone asked with envy.
âJocelyn, your boyfriendâs voice is so nice, he must be very handsome.â
Jocelyn was silent for a second. Skylerâs outrageously handsome face appeared in her mind, and she nodded, âWell, he is really good-looking.â
Some of them were so envious that their eyes turned green. âWow, his voice is so good that it will make someone pregnant and heâs also good-looking. Is he trying to kill us?
âJocelyn, your boyfriend is also rich, right? He has a driver taking him everywhere,â The other party asked with a smile and admiration.
Jocelyn felt uncomfortable, not knowing how to answer this kind of question. âHeâs pretty well -off I guess.â
Renee could not stand this anymore. She was just taunting Jocelyn, but unexpectedly, she gave her a chance to boast.
Her face turned dark. âMaybe itâs just a designated driver. Why is he pretending to be rich?â
Jocelyn gave her a speechless look and said nothing.
The people in this circle also saw that Renee was here to cause trouble so they did not say a word and looked at each other in dismay.
Renee was suddenly embarrassed.
Jocelyn glanced at her lightly and said bluntly, âYeab it might be a designated driver.â
Reneeâs face changed and she did not say anything.
At the same time, Vintage Bar. Jim glanced at Skyler and asked with a smile, âWho is that?â Skyler gave him a sideways look. âJocelyn.â Jim looked sloppy. âWhy did she call you in the middle of the night? Is she doing a spot check?â Skyler glanced at Jim casually, shook the glass in his hand, and ignored him.
Jim could not bear being left alone. âItâs just the two of us here so you should say something. Donât make me perform a one-man show.â Skyler snorted softly, âI think youâre pretty happy to be alone.â Jim rolled his eyes. âIâm sad now.â Skyler was showing an expression that said, âEven if youâre sad, it doesnât matter to me.â âIâll pick her up after I finish this drink.â Jim rolled his eyes and raised his eyebrows. âPick up Jocelyn? Did she just call you to pick her up?â
Skyler leaned back on the couch, gave Jim a side-eye, and said nothing.
Jim pursed his lips and complained, âYouâre so boring. Whoever drinks with you will probably be pissed to death in minutes. Only I can endure the humiliation for so many years and I have already gotten used to it.â Skyler took a sip of wine, and his expression was unreadable under the light of the private room.
He was silent for a long time. Then, he suddenly said inadvertently, âJim, how do you usually⦠How do you pursue women?â
After Skyler said this, a dim light flashed in his eyes.
Jim was stunned for a moment and then immediately, he became more energetic. He leaned toward Skyler. âNo way, Skyler, who do you fancy?â Skyler glanced at him lightly. âAnswer the question, stop talking nonsense.â Jim looked at him with a cheeky grin. âTsk tsk tsk, you canât judge a book by its cover indeed. The ten-thousand-year-old iceberg is about to melt, let me guess, do you fancy that Rhode person?â
After all, during this time, it was rumored that Skyler had an affair with Rhode.
Not only did Skyler not stop the rumors, but Rhode not only rose, but she was also safe and sound and this was worth thinking about.
Skylerâs eyes darkened, âWhat nonsense are you spewing? I told you to answer my question, do you not understand human language?â Jim pointed. âIâm just curious. You canât even quench my curiosity and yet youâre asking me about your relationship problems.â If Skylerâs face darkened in front of other people, they might be terrified.
However, Jim was not the same. It was because even if Skyler darkened his face in front of him, he would not do anything to harm him.
See, Jim was extremely arrogant in front of Skyler.
Skyler looked at Jim coldly to see what he would say, Jim stared at Skyler. âTell me. Whatâs so good about Rhode? You gave her the sponsorship and are so protective over her. I canât even ask about her!
Skyler looked at him in annoyance. âItâs not Rhode!!!
