Chapter 16
If they hadn’t broken up, it meant that Skylar was cheating, and she’d made Joe the third party.
He would be a third party with a marriage certificate.
If that was the case, Skylar was really a deceptive person!
“I’m not sure.” Joe didn’t want to accuse Skylar unjustly.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Martin. I’ll investigate it now!!
“Alright.
Skylar was busy from 9:00 am until noon. Daniel ordered takeout for lunch. It was fish and chips.
Besides Daniel, there was another employee in the store, Caleb Gardner, an 18–year–old boy.
Apparently, he didn’t like studying, so he’d started working with Daniel after he’d graduated from high
school.
There were always customers of various nationalities at the store. Caleb could switch between Albionian, Bierstadian, and Francorien easily when he spoke to them. He probably had a flair for languages.
Daniel gave him a monthly salary of 3500 dollars. It included meals and covered basic welfare and
commission, but it didn’t include accommodation.
Caleb was young, and he liked being on live broadcast. As he was handsome and spoke well, he sold goods online through live broadcasts. He was popular.
He’d sold a huge item yesterday. His commission was a full 50 thousand dollars. The live broadcast industry was really at its peak now
“Skylar, let me treat you to stew tonight!” Caleb tried to ask Skylar out as they had lunch.
Before Skylar could refuse, Daniel rolled his eyes at Caleb. He was too old to stand the young lad’s
frivolity.
*She’s spent the whole day restoring the painting. She must be so tired. How would she be in the mood to
have stew?
*Concentrate on your broadcast this evening. You’d better sell all the new items from the last two days.”
Skylar smiled lightly. “I need to go home to be with my grandma. She’s sick and needs some company.”
Caleb was slightly disappointed, “Alright.”
“When I’m done restoring the painting, I’ll treat you and Mr. Zeller to stew,” Skylar said.
Caleb reminded her of Harvey. They were of the same age. She could introduce them to one another in
the future.
*Alright.” Caleb still felt disappointed upon hearing that they would be sharing a meal with Daniel. He’d
wanted to have a one–on–one date with Skylar!
When he’d come to work two days ago, he’d noticed there was a woman restoring paintings in the store. At first, he’d thought it was an old lady, so he hadn’t been interested
He hadn’t been able to believe that she turned out to be such a pretty woman like Skylar
Caleb’s grandfather, Alexander Gardner had always wanted him to learn how to restore antiques, but he didn’t have the patience for it
Hed seen how Skylar worked. Once she sat down, she would be there for half a day. He admired her
serious attitude
She was beautiful, too. She was 100 times prettier than the girls who had plastic surgery.
Just theri, Daniel received a phone cal
“What a coincidence I have a painting from 1120 BC, it’s a landscape painting, and it’s been restored perfectly! I just received it two days ago. I was just about to set out to an auction
“What? George wants it?”
about
When Skylar heard Daniel, she knew he was talking stiut her painting,
Daniel looked conflicted to dout the money it’s just that the promised the auction house. I still have two other paintings from 1120 BC They’re being restored now why don’t I show it to George first when the restoration is done
The person on the other end of the call agreed
After Daniel ended the call, he looked at Skylar cheerly “Skye, 1’s increase your pay Could you come earlier or stay later to fresh up the restoration 1120 BC pantings have been popular recently
He wanted to take advantage of the recent trend
