Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1652

A chorus of voices chimed in unison, "Sounds good. Let's grab a drink..."

...

The academic year commenced following the opening ceremony. Classes were now in full swing.

Skyler's natural aptitude wasn't anything to write home about, so to keep up, she had to work harder than her peers. Her daily routine was as simple as it got. She attended lectures, studied on her own, and then tutored to make some extra cash.

It was a simple and ordinary life, yet it had its comforts.

But today, just after wrapping up a lecture, her phone buzzed with a call from the Rivera family's stoic butler. His voice, ever so grave and detached, came from the other end. "Miss Skyler, Mr. Hudson requests your presence, along with Zavier, for dinner at the manor this evening. A driver will pick you up from campus at five o'clock sharp."d2

Skyler didn't want to go but felt she had no choice but to comply. "Yes, I'll be there."

The butler went on to provide further instructions, which Skyler listened to intently. She jotted them down in her phone's notes app, worried that even a minor oversight on her part might lead to unnecessary complications.

After the call, she stared at her phone with a mind as jumbled as a pot of stew.

Skyler and Zavier were in different departments, and given the size of the university, she had only bumped into him at the opening ceremony a month ago.

She had heard plenty about Zavier since then but never had the chance to meet him again. So, her days had been relatively carefree until now. The thought of meeting that arrogantly insufferable man later in the day made it impossible for Skyler to focus on her afternoon classes.
