Chapter 317
Skylar couldn’t help but wonder if Paul and Joe had already eaten lunch.
Paul hesitated to speak as he stole glances at Joe.
Joe noticed Skylar’s puzzled expression, and the dark cloud that had momentarily
covered his mind dissipated instantly. “I wasn’t hungry earlier.”
Seeing this, Paul quickly picked up his cutlery and said, “Yeah, I wasn’t hungry either,
but now I’m starving.”
Paul had skipped lunch in his rush to the airport and was genuinely famished.
Watching Skylar enjoy her food had made his mouth water.
As Skylar nibbled on her dish, she said to Joe, “I know you both have a lot going on
here. I planned my itinerary last night, so feel free to focus on your tasks. I’ll go
explore on my own.”
Joe pursed his lips slightly, and his gaze grew stern. “You’re going alone?”
“Yeah, you guys can go ahead with your work. If you’re free later, we can explore
together. Plus, I’m sure you’ve both seen enough of Korel City’s sights.
“It’s my first time here, so I want to visit the scenic spots and take some photos. I don’t want to waste your time,” Skylar explained casually.
Joe’s expression darkened, and he was about to respond when his phone rang
suddenly.
Whatever was said made Joe’s face darken even further. “Just wait at the hospital.
I’ll be there soon.
The hospital? Skylar’s expression froze.
“I have something to attend to. Paul will take you back to the hotel after lunch. I’ll call
you tomorrow.” Joe finished speaking and left quickly.
Paul witnessed what seemed like a normal situation moments ago with a mouth full of food. But in the midst of it, he felt something was off.
The atmosphere between Joe and Skylar earller hadn’t been quite right. It felt… indescribably tense. He picked up his cup and took several sips of tea.
Skylar sensed Paul’s awkwardness and inwardly chuckled.
Her relationship with Joe hadn’t reached the point where she could ask about his private affairs. Even if they were physically intimate in bed, it didn’t necessarily meant he had feelings for her.
Skylar guessed that Paul’s nervousness stemmed from his fear that she might question why Joe was going to the hospital.
But she wasn’t that naive; bringing it up could make things awkward between her and Joe.
Skylar set down her cutlery and patted her stomach. “I’m full now. Take your time,”
she said.
She had indulged too much during this meal. After dropping her luggage at the hotel, Skylar planned to take a walk outside.
“Ms. Sullivan, aren’t you curious why Mr. Martin is going to the hospital?” Paul couldn’t help but ask.
Skylar shook her head. “No, he has his own business to attend to in Korel City.”
