“That young lady is quite outstanding!” Alexander exclaimed.
Caleb was sweating from running around. He rolled his eyes while feeling a bit of pride. “Of course she is! I told you she has the skills but you didn’t believe me. If I hadn’t insisted, your team would have missed out on a real talent.”
“You did well this time,” Alexander said jovially. “Tell me, what do you want? Whatever it is, I’ll grant it.”
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a card. “Take this. You can’t be stingy when you’re wooing someone. That young lady passed my test. She’s good enough to be my granddaughter–in–law.”
Caleb blushed at his words. “Grandpa, nothing’s set in stone yet.”
“What’s not set in stone? Do your best. If you can’t win her over, then don’t call yourself my grandson. It would be an embarrassment.” Alexander huffed and shot an exasperated glance at Caleb, leaving him speechless.
Skylar left the place and immediately called the auction house to let them know she would no longer
attend the interview.
She then shared the good news with Janine and Steven.
To celebrate her success, they invited her over for dinner with the whole family.
Skylar then told Caleb about the good news.
“I knew you could do it. I believed in you from the start.” Caleb felt a little uneasy since he already knew the results. He didn’t know how to tell her that he was Alexander’s grandson,
*When do you have time? I’ll treat you to a meal,” Skylar smiled and said.
“I’ve got the time today. I’m right around the corner actually,” Caleb replied eagerly. When it came to spending time with Skylar, he was always up for it.
Skylar was surprised by his enthusiasm and looked at the time. It’s one in the afternoon. “Have lunch yet?”

Caleb, who was holding a burger wrapper, quickly tossed it aside. “Nope. I’m starving.”
“Then let’s have lunch together. What do you feel like having?” Skylar asked.
fine with anything. You decide and send me the location later. I’ll go get you now,” Caleb replied.
“Okay,” Skylar replied.
In reality, Caleb was still watching Skylar in the break room.
He quickly ran downstairs, found his motorbike, and even rode around the block before heading to
to Skylar.
Skylar stood by the road and watched as Caleb crossed the street on his bike. He was youthful and full of
energy.

She smiled as he reminded her of her younger brother, Harvey. Both of them had that same youthful
energy.
When Caleb saw Skylar’s smile, he got momentarily distracted. By the time he snapped out of it, he realized a child was in his way. He couldn’t stop in time and fell down with the bike to avoid hitting the kid.
The smile on Skylar’s face vanished. “Caleb!”
Caleb had crashed his bike before, but nothing was as bad as it was this time.
As the child started crying in fright, Caleb smiled bitterly at Skylar, who was running toward him. “Looks
like lunch’s off,” he said.
“Stop talking. I’m taking you to the hospital,” Skylar said with panic in her voice.
It was like she had been transported back to her previous life, where she had pushed Sadie out of the way
only to get into a horrific accident herself.
Caleb saw Skylar’s pale face and gave her a wide smile. “I’m fine. Really, I’m fine!”
The crash had caused a traffic jam at the intersection.
A car window rolled down, and a man poked his head out to look at Caleb and Skylar.
“Is that Ms. Sullivan?” Paul asked with surprise when he saw Skylar.
