Jocelyn ignored everyone’s gaze, pursed her lips, and said softly, “Are you busy?” She did not call him President Moore or Mr. Moore, and she did not call him by his name too for fear of exposing herself. It was quiet on the other end of the phone. Skyler was silent for two seconds before he said, ” I’m not busy, what’s the matter?” Someone jokingly mouthed with a smile on their lips, “Ask him what he’s doing.” Jocelyn saw everyone’s look of anticipation and continued, “Are you…” Before Jocelyn could ask, Skyler answered, “I’m in a bar.” “It’s pretty quiet over there.” Jocelyn was a little surprised.
Skyler’s voice seemed to be tinged with a chuckle, “I’m in the private room.” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Jocelyn suddenly remembered that Skyler’s private room in Vintage Bar was so soundproof that no noise could penetrate the walls. It was pin-drop silent from the outside. She hesitated for a second and said, “Well, if you’re at a bar, I’ll hang up first.” The alumni were getting anxious. Their faces changed slightly, and someone cried, “Jocelyn, you can’t do this!”
Skyler’s voice was cold. “Who’s that?”
Jocelyn was a little helpless. “It’s one of the alumni. I’m at the alumni party? Everyone wants to meet you. I originally planned to ask you to come to pick me up, but you had something to drink too so you can’t drive.”
After listening to Jocelyn, Skyler understood and said, “It doesn’t matter, I will let the driver drive me, you go have fun first.”
Nothing was exposed and it worked out perfectly. Jocelyn finally breathed a sigh of relief and hung up the phone.
As soon as she hung up the phone, everyone asked with envy.
“Jocelyn, your boyfriend’s voice is so nice, he must be very handsome.”
Jocelyn was silent for a second. Skyler’s outrageously handsome face appeared in her mind, and she nodded, “Well, he is really good-looking.”
Some of them were so envious that their eyes turned green. “Wow, his voice is so good that it will make someone pregnant and he’s also good-looking. Is he trying to kill us?
“Jocelyn, your boyfriend is also rich, right? He has a driver taking him everywhere,” The other party asked with a smile and admiration.
Jocelyn felt uncomfortable, not knowing how to answer this kind of question. “He’s pretty well -off I guess.”
Renee could not stand this anymore. She was just taunting Jocelyn, but unexpectedly, she gave her a chance to boast.
Her face turned dark. “Maybe it’s just a designated driver. Why is he pretending to be rich?”
Jocelyn gave her a speechless look and said nothing.
The people in this circle also saw that Renee was here to cause trouble so they did not say a word and looked at each other in dismay.
Renee was suddenly embarrassed.
Jocelyn glanced at her lightly and said bluntly, “Yeab it might be a designated driver.”
Renee’s face changed and she did not say anything.
At the same time, Vintage Bar. Jim glanced at Skyler and asked with a smile, “Who is that?” Skyler gave him a sideways look. “Jocelyn.” Jim looked sloppy. “Why did she call you in the middle of the night? Is
she doing a spot check?” Skyler glanced at Jim casually, shook the glass in his hand, and ignored him. Jim could not bear being left alone. “It’s just the two of us here so you should say something. Don’t make me perform a one-man show.” Skyler snorted softly, “I think you’re pretty happy to be alone.” Jim rolled his eyes. “I’m sad now.” Skyler was showing an expression that said, ‘Even if you’re sad, it doesn’t matter to me.’ “I’ll pick her up after I finish this drink.” Jim rolled his eyes and raised his eyebrows. “Pick up Jocelyn? Did she just call you to pick her
up?”
Skyler leaned back on the couch, gave Jim a side-eye, and said nothing.
Jim pursed his lips and complained, “You’re so boring. Whoever drinks with you will probably be pissed to death in minutes. Only I can endure the humiliation for so many years and I have already gotten used to it.” Skyler took a sip of wine, and his expression was unreadable under the light of the private room.
He was silent for a long time. Then, he suddenly said inadvertently, “Jim, how do you usually… How do you pursue women?”
After Skyler said this, a dim light flashed in his eyes.
Jim was stunned for a moment and then immediately, he became more energetic. He leaned toward Skyler. “No way, Skyler, who do you fancy?” Skyler glanced at him lightly. “Answer the question, stop talking nonsense.” Jim looked at him with a cheeky grin. “Tsk tsk tsk, you can’t judge a book by its cover indeed. The ten-thousand-year-old iceberg is about to melt, let me guess, do you fancy that Rhode person?”
After all, during this time, it was rumored that Skyler had an affair with Rhode.
Not only did Skyler not stop the rumors, but Rhode not only rose, but she was also safe and sound and this was worth thinking about.
Skyler’s eyes darkened, “What nonsense are you spewing? I told you to answer my question, do you not understand human language?” Jim pointed. “I’m just curious. You can’t even quench my curiosity and yet you’re asking me about your relationship problems.” If Skyler’s face darkened in front of other people, they might be terrified.
However, Jim was not the same. It was because even if Skyler darkened his face in front of him, he would not do anything to harm him.
See, Jim was extremely arrogant in front of Skyler.
Skyler looked at Jim coldly to see what he would say, Jim stared at Skyler. “Tell me. What’s so good about Rhode? You gave her the sponsorship and are so protective over her. I can’t even ask about her!
Skyler looked at him in annoyance. “It’s not Rhode!!!
