Chapter 123
Since Skylar had pancakes for breakfast and didn’t cook at home, she decided to buy something light, like chicken soup and some bread, before heading to the hospital.
Caleb was lying on the bed and playing video games to pass the time. He thought Skylar wouldn’t have the time to visit him since it was her first day.
So, when Skylar walked into the room, Caleb felt like he might actually tear up. “Skylar, I’ve been waiting for you!”
Skylar glanced at her watch before setting down the lunch in front of Caleb. “Are you hungry? Is your family not around to keep you company?”
“Uncle John is busy. Besides, this is just a minor surgery. He just needs to be there to sign the papers. He hired a caretaker for me too,” Caleb said while digging into his lunch.
Even though it was a simple meal, it tasted great because Skylar was the one to deliver them.
“How was your first day at work? Did anyone give you a hard time?” Caleb asked.”
“Not at all. The team’s great. I love the culture there. I feel like I fit right in,” Skylar replied.
Caleb nodded while feeling relieved.
If Alexander ever gave her a hard time, he would need to have a word with him after he was discharged from the hospital.
Skylar stayed at the hospital for around 20 minutes before leaving.
She wanted to finish the task given by Alexander as soon as possible.
While she was on the way back to work, Joe gave her a call. “I’ll pick you up around 5:00 pmm later. Is that okay?”
“That’s fine. I’ll see you later,” Skylar replied.
She had checked with Oliver about the team’s working hours. Alexander’s team had a healthy work culture. They would usually finish work around 4:30 pm. It wasn’t a nine–to–six setup.
Sometimes, they would work overtime or even work over the weekend if they needed to conduct on–site archeological excavations.
After hanging up, Skylar received a voice note from Natalie.
Natalie: “Skylar, guess what? I’ve got a major scoop. Apparently, Joe is married! A friend of mine works at
the courthouse and saw him.
“He didn’t take pictures because he didn’t know who Joe was. We were chatting in the group and he saw Joe’s Interview. Only then did he know it was Joe who got married.
“He said the bride was gorgeous, but he couldn’t remember her name. The bride wasn’t Annie, though
Chapter 123
Can you believe it? Big news, right?”
Skylar could hear the excitement in Natalie’s voice. She felt a little guilty that she was part of the gossip.
“Annie attended John’s engagement party with Joe, but he didn’t bring his newlywed wife along. Could it be that Joe doesn’t like his wife? Now that Annie is back in town, Joe might be divorcing his wife!
