Chapter 141
Skylar glanced at the ring on Mark’s finger. It was an expensive antique.
Such items would not be worn by people like them unless they symbolized wealth and status. After all, contemporary high–end brand accessories are more fashionable.
But…
She curled her lips slightly. Then, she glanced at the beautiful models sitting on the sofa.
It was a pity. Some men thought playing with women was like riding the wave of trends. She felt that. these men didn’t realize they were stepping deeper into the abyss.
“Did Mr. Martin bring his secretary today?” Annie suddenly raised her voice slightly. Her gaze finally swept toward the other people present
Ethan tried to suppress a laugh. “Ms. Silver, did you just realize there are a few of us here?”
“She probably only just saw Mr. Martin!” Lukas joked.
Annie’s gaze eventually settled on Skylar. She remembered Skylar. It was hard not to remember her.
The last time in Joe’s car, she had seen Joe staring blankly at Skylar. At that moment, she simply thought Skylar fit Joe’s taste, which was why Joe took a few extra glances at her.
She hadn’t thought deeply about what kind of person Joe was. She felt that he must have seen plenty of women like Skylar.
She wondered how he could openly stare at someone on the street, considering she was supposed to be his secretary, especially when Joe had Paul by his side.
She also wondered when he would need a female secretary. The reasons one might need a female secretary were easy for her to assume.
Suddenly, she felt her heart tightened.
“Hello, Ms. Silver. I’m Mr. Martin’s secretary.”
Since Annie had already asked, Skylar naturally stepped forward to introduce herself.
She hadn’t expected to meet Annie in person today. In real life, she was much more beautiful than on TV
True to her scholarly family background, she possessed a temperament many could not possess.
Annie’s smile remained polite and gentle as she nodded at Skylar, “Hello.”
Joe noticed Mark had been talking to Skylar, and her face still held a trace of a smile. His expression darkened as he walked over.
Seeing Joe approaching, Mark sat back down on the sofa and wrapped his arm around a model.
Skylar was surprised to see Joe come straight over to her. She wondered if he was worried about

upsetting Annie.
“Is the orange juice good?” Joe asked Skylar.
Skylar nodded, slightly bewildered. “It’s quite good, just a bit sour.”
Annie saw Joe go directly to Skylar, and her expression stiffened.
Sharp as ever, Rowan sensed the tension and called everyone to have the cake.
After it was over, Rowan thought of something. He had invited Joe and Annie that day to help nudge them together. So, he was doing them a favor by going with the flow.
“Annie, did you drive here?”
Aware of what was happening, Annie shook her head. “I had some wine at dinner, so I took a cab.”
