Chapter 19
Furthermore, the supermarket was filled with people who just got off work. He felt like a misfit among
them.
So, by the time he found Skylar in the supermarket, his handsome face was so cold that it was frightening.
He had a cold demeanor, but he looked even more distant now.
Skylar was focused on buying her snacks. She only saw Joe when she raised her head after putting down.
a bag of chips.
“Do you need something from me, Mr. Martin?” She asked.
Why did he seem so unhappy?
Joe’s cold gaze darkened. “Are you done?”
“I’m still buying snacks. Is there anything you’d like to eat? They’ve got a new flavor for these chips. Do you want to try it?” Skylar asked politely.
Joe didn’t even look at it. He said coolly, “I never eat junk food.”
“This is a brand produced by Martin Group’s food division. Do you tend to self–deprecate?”
Skylar was good–natured, but she wasn’t one to be snubbed unreasonably.
Joe should just direct it to the person who messed with him. Why was he showing his temper to her?
In the past two days, she’d brushed off his bad attitude for Gloria’s sake. She’d given him enough respect.
Joe’s face fell, and his gaze turned sharp. He was the CEO of Martin Group, and he knew how to terrify his
employees with a single glance.
This was Skylar’s second life. She’d seen people who were scarier than monsters, but her heart still constricted under Joe’s cold and sharp gaze.
“Grandma wants you to go to the auction with me. She likes one of the jewelry pieces. She wants us to get it for her,” Joe said coldly.
If it hadn’t been for Gloria’s request, he wouldn’t have asked her to come along. It was just a piece of jewelry anyway; he could go alone.
The woman before him had a pair of pretty eyes. When she smiled, her eyes were bright and crescent- shaped. She looked gentle and innocent.
However, when she was slightly angry, she appeared like a young beast who was eager to fight destiny. It was as if she’d been mistreated badly.
He felt like… cherishing her.
But the thought disappeared as soon as it arose. After all, he believed she was a scheming woman who was good at pretending.

“Alright,” Skylar agreed. She had no reason to reject Gloria’s request.
“Your clothes are not appropriate for the event.” Joe’s cold gaze was critical.
He looked at his watch and said, “The auction is at 7:00 pm. It’s not even 5:00 pm yet, so there’s time to get ready. I’ll ask Paul to take you somewhere. I’ll wait for you at the auction house.”
“Alright. I’ll pay for my items and put them in my car. You may ask Mr. Ziegler to wait for me at the car park entrance.”
Skylar pushed her shopping cart to the cashier after she finished speaking.
Joe stood on the spot and glanced at the potato chips in the aisle.
Were they really his company’s products?
Paul was going to fetch Skylar in his car, but Skylar said she had her car with her. So, he went over to meet her.
He got to the mall’s parking exit and got into Skylar’s new energy vehicle.
Paul was six feet tall. Even though he wasn’t as tall as Joe, his head reached the ceiling of the car. It made the car feel smaller.
“Mrs. Martin, Mr. Martin has so many cars in the garage. Why didn’t you drive his car?”
“My car is more environmentally friendly,” Skylar replied.
However, her true thoughts were that she and Joe were just contractually married. They weren’t truly husband and wife anyway, so she had no right to his things.
