Chapter 206
Skylar and Joe had struck a deal. She had asked him to help deal with the Williams family, and in return, she would give him head massages to relieve his headaches.
With Joe away on a business trip and her busy schedule, she had completely forgotten her promise.
Feeling a bit guilty, she immediately put down her phone and got out of bed to knock on Joe’s door.
As soon as her knuckles touched the wood, the door opened.
Joe, almost a head taller than Skylar, looked down as he opened the door. This was the first time Skylar had knocked on his door.
Even though they lived under the same roof, they had their own rooms and seldom intruded on each other’s space. This was a first.
Joe’s room’s interior design reflected his cold, minimalist personality while still blending well with the overall style of Galaxy Villa.
“Sorry, I got busy and forgot. Is now a good time?” she asked.
Joe’s gaze held an unreadable depth as he nodded and stepped aside, allowing her
Skylar hesitated, wondering if she was supposed to give him a head massage in his
room.
But she quickly reassured herself that Joe harbored no romantic interest in her. That
eased her fears, and she followed him into the room.
“You tend to fall asleep whenever I give you a massage. So, you can lie in bed while I sit beside you. I’ll turn off the lights for you when I’m done.”
Skylar saw a chair nearby that could be positioned near the bed. She was about to lift
it, but Joe took it from her.
“I got it,” he said.
“Thanks,” she replied.
As Joe positioned the chair, a question bothered him. Did Skylar feel so safe around. him that she had no qualms about being alone in his room?
Did she trust him that much? Or did she just not see him that way at all? Joe’s eyes. darkened at the thought.
Skylar
r was oblivious to the shift in his mood. It wasn’t until she settled into the chair that she realized Joe hadn’t takep his place beside her. So, she turned to look at him.
Joe was staring at her with an intensity that made her pause.
“Is something wrong?” Skylar asked.
She was confused. Why did Joe seem different ever since he had gotten back from
his trip? He seemed more enigmatic.
