Chapter 108
The real attention–grabbers at the party were the lovely duo, Joe and Annie.
When they were together, it was as if everybody else disappeared. All eyes were on them only.
They were a match made in heaven, the perfect couple that stole the limelight.
Natalie: “See that? They showed up together at John’s engagement party again. There’s no way they’re just friends, right? I asked my husband, but he told me not to snoop into Joe’s business.”
Natalie: “But I still think you’re the prettiest. Annie is pretty too but she’s got nothing on you. Skye, you’ve got that captivating charm like a little siren who can steal anybody’s breath away!”
As Skylar read the increasingly ridiculous messages from Natalie, she glanced at the photo again.
She felt uneasy. To repay her debts to Gloria, she inadvertently found herself cast as a mistress in Joe’s
relationship with Annie.
Now she understood why Joe always treated her with that cold and distant attitude. It was because he
already had someone he liked.
Later that night, just as she was about to go to bed, Skylar received a call from Alexander’s team.
They apologized for calling her so late at night and explained that they had overlooked her résumé during the screening process and missed her interview. They would like to interview her if she had time the next
day.
Even though Skylar’s spirits had been low after learning about Joe and Annie’s relationship, the call from Alexander’s team brightened her mood.
She had also agreed to meet with the auction house the following day. So, she decided to go for the interview with Alexander’s team in the morning before going to the auction house in the afternoon.
After all, Alexander’s team had high standards, and she wasn’t sure if she could make the cut.
Feeling optimistic about the future, Skylar shared the good news with Janine and Steven. They wished her luck and said that no matter the outcome, she would always be the best to them.
With their support, Skylar felt ready to face whatever came her way.
She fell asleep with a smile on her face.
When Skylar went downstairs to make breakfast the next morning, she noticed that Joe hadn’t returned home last night.
It didn’t surprise her. Natalie had mentioned that Annie had just returned from abroad less than a month. ago. It made sense that both of them would want to spend time together since they hadn’t met for a long
time.
As she finished breakfast and headed out the door, Skylar glanced back at Galaxy Villa.

She needed to find an excuse to move out and tell Gloria she was busy with work. That way, she could eventually end this spontaneous marriage arrangement with Joe without causing any fuss.
Joe woke up with a pounding headache. He had drunk a lot the night before and ended up crashing on
the Gardners‘ yacht..
Almost everyone who attended the engagement party spent the night
on the s
He rubbed his temples and remembered something. He immediately called Paul.
Paul also spent the night on the yacht. He was already up and answered the call quickly.
