Chapter 407
Natalle squinted. “You seem out of it. What were you up to last night?”
Skylar admitted candidly. “I spent the whole night with Joe.”
Natalie rolled her eyes, wondering if Skylar was becoming obsessed with Joe. The thought even crossed her mind that maybe Skylar was even having erotic dreams about him.
Yet, there was no denying Joe was a top catch. If Skylar could snag him in real life, Natalie would be genuinely happy for her.
Skylar remained tight–lipped, unable to elaborate further. Natalie, sensing this, wisely changed the subject.
“It’s so refreshing to be back working again,” Natalie remarked. “I feel like a whole new person.”
Skylar expressed her happiness for Natalie sincerely. “The vibrant Natalie is back, shining bright like a sun!
Welcome back!”
Natalie had seemed listless a while back. Her life essentially revolved around Jeremy, who was perpetually swamped with work.
At their age, they should be pursuing their dreams.
Despite that, an inexplicable weight settled on Skylar’s mind as she thought about Natalie and Jeremy.
“If I didn’t have work later, we’d be celebrating with drinks right now,” Natalie lamented.
“We can always do that after you’re finished,” Skylar replied with a smile.
Natalie raised her smoothie. “Let’s toast with our smoothies instead.”
They both took large gulps of their smoothies.
Suddenly, Natalie spotted a familiar face. She blinked, unsure at first, but a closer look confirmed her
suspicions.
“What’s going on?” Skylar followed Natalie’s gaze.
“It’s my husband’s secretary,” Natalie explained. “That’s odd. The company is nowhere near here. What’s she doing at the mall on her lunch break?”
Natalie checked the time.
The commute from Jeremy’s company to the mall and back took roughly 40 minutes, barely enough time for lunch. It wouldn’t make sense for someone to travel this far just to shop at an ordinary mall in Jipsburg.
Natalie couldn’t help but notice the smile plastered on Annabelle’s face as she chatted on the phone. The woman was undeniably beautiful, captivating the attention of everyone around her.
Unfamiliar with Annabelle, Skylar furrowed her brow upon seeing her for the first time. “Mr. Hughes‘ secretary?”
“Yes, I met her at the company last time,” Natalle replied. “She’s new. She’s absolutely stunning, a real
head–turner.
“Still, you outshine anyone, Skylar. You’re one of a kind! But you must look at her physique! She’s Incredibly fit. If were a man, I’d be amitton!”
