Chapter 106
On the other end of the line, the woman paused for a few seconds before replying indifferently, “Okay, I’ll let Mr. Hughes know.”
After hanging up the phone, Natalle frowned, “He didn’t tell me he’s changed his secretary.”
Skylar heard Natalie mumbling, so she asked, “What’s wrong?”
Natalie smiled. “Nothing. My husband is in a meeting right now, so he couldn’t answer my call. It was his secretary who picked up the phone
“Something’s strange, though. I wonder why the previous secretary quit, as he was doing quite well. Whatever, I don’t care about his work mat
“It’s a pity I couldn’t get immediate information about the gossip. I’ll ask him when I see him tonight. Then, I’ll share the story between Joe and Annie with you.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for first–hand news from you,” Skylar replied, smiling.
After that, the two went to shop at the mall. Natalie bought a lot of things. Skylar also bought some clothes. She even bought a set for Janine. They left with their arms full. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Jeremy had sent the chauffeur to pick Natalie up. Skylar went to the parking lot after seeing Natalie happily get into the car..
Not long after she left the parking lot, she passed by the intersection. While waiting at the traffic light, she felt slightly stuffy in the car, so she rolled down the window.
Suddenly, she noticed someone looking at her, so she turned to the side.
She saw Joe, who was in the car across the road. He was staring at her, too. And he seemed surprised to see her.
Since the window had been rolled down, Skylar could see Annie, who sat in the car with Joe.
Annie looked very pretty on screen, but when Skylar saw her in person, she thought Annie looked more stunning. Her features were sharp, and she looked just like a rich and beautiful lady from a prominent
family.
Annie seemed to have sensed Joe looking out, so she looked in Skylar’s direction, too.
Women were born to have good instincts.
Annie frowned when she saw Skylar. She noticed Joe staring at the woman across the road for a long time. He had been staring at her as he waited for the red light to turn green.
Skylar swiftly returned to her senses and withdrew her gaze, pretending she didn’t know Joe. She was afraid Annie would grow suspicious.
When the green light lit up, Skylar stepped on the accelerator and sped off. It was as though she was running away for dear life. If not because of the speed limit in town, she would’ve been gone from that

road.
After driving for some distance, Skylar was amused by her own reaction.
She was his legal wife, yet she felt guilty when she saw her husband with another woman. But since it was a covert marriage, they had to draw a clear line.
Caleb rarely visited his grandfather’s workplace. Alexander had been busy recently, so he couldn’t even get ahold of him.
Everyone from Alexander’s team knew Caleb. They welcomed him with warm greetings when they saw
him.
“Where’s my grandpa?” he asked anyone he saw.
“Mr. Gardner Senior is resting on the sixth floor.”
After knowing where Alexander was, Caleb immediately took the elevator to the sixth floor.
On the sixth floor was a lounge area.
