Chapter 176
“Were you interested in me since long ago?” Joe added. This sentence was like a bombshell that made Skylar’s rationality vanish.
“Can I still explain?” Skylar was at a loss for words. She got to quit drinking! She vowed never to touch alcohol again, not even a drop of cooking wine!
Joe’s mood improved when he saw Skylar looking aggrieved, which oddly pleased him.
“It’s fine. I get it because you were drunk.” Joe smiled.
But Skylar couldn’t forgive herself for the entire day because of her embarrassing drunken behavior. She touched and pinched his… Yet she couldn’t recall a single detail. Did he have pecs?
Just as Joe was about to go downstairs, he suddenly turned back. “Oh, by the way, you kept commenting on how ugly I was last night and eagerly helped search for plastic surgery hospitals.”
Skylar bit her lip, on the verge of tears, while staring at his handsome face. She said, “Darn it!” Would any other man stand a chance if Joe were to get plastic surgery?
Joe couldn’t hold back his laughter anymore. Skylar was even more adorable when she was sober.
As Joe disappeared up the stairs, Skylar took out her phone and saw her recent search history. It showed, “Where is the most expensive plastic surgery hospital in Jipsburg?”
So it meant everything Joe said just now was true.
Annie had arrived outside the Martin Group building ten minutes ago. Her messages to Joe went unanswered. But she couldn’t bring herself to lower her pride and beg Skylar.
In her eyes, Skylar wasn’t worthy for her to plead. She didn’t believe that Joe would always be interested in Skylar.
Joe definitely meant every word. Last night, Annie had discussed the matter with her parents, and they, too, didn’t expect Skylar to be so scheming to call Joe right away.
Skylar would never have been so bold if it weren’t for Joe’s favoritism. At the thought of this, Annie felt like her heart was being pricked with needles.
Finally, Paul arrived. Paul walked over and was rather surprised to see Annie. “Ms. Silver?”
“Mr. Ziegler, I’d like to see Mr. Martin.” Annie went straight to the point.
Anyone who truly knew Joe would know that Paul was the person Joe trusted the most. Now, she had to go through Paul first to meet Joe.
Paul remained a polite smile. “I’m sorry, Ms. Silver, but Mr. Martin’s schedule is packed today. He’s going on a business trip after a meeting. If you have anything important, just let me know and I’ll convey it to Mr.
Martin.”

It was a joke. Joe had specifically instructed Paul to reject all of Annie’s appointments from now on. She should have known her place. Not only did she meet Skylar, but she also threatened Skylar to leave Joel
with a check.
