Chapter 111
Caleb was a hopeless romantic.
However, when the three interviewers presented the answers to Alexander, he pointed at one of the papers and asked, “Whose is this?”
“It belongs to Skylar, the girl among the three Mr Gardner Senior, her speed in identifying the fakes was astonishing At first, we thought she might be cheating
“But we always change the items used in the interview to prevent anybody from knowing the answers in advance. Yet, she successfully identified all the fake ones accurately, one of them explained. His voice was filled with disbelief
Alexander was stunned, and so was Caleb He knew Skylar was skilled, but he didn’t expect her to be this
amazing!
He blinked in surprise before bursting out laughing.
Alexander’s face turned dark upon seeing Caleb laughing arrogantly. However, there was a hint of
excitement in his eyes.
“This young woman has good eyes. She must have studied authentic pieces extensively on a normal basis. Have them proceed to restoration,” Alexander said.
Tve already assigned them to restore an antique pocket watch,” the man replied.
Alexander nodded. “Have them work on a painting as well. We have a few that are in fragments. They don’t have to restore the entire painting, just part of it following our guidelines. Let’s see what they can do.
Most importantly, he wanted to test Skylar’s abilities.
Since he was young, he had only admired Viola, who taught him much of what he knew. Sadly, Viola never took on apprentices. She had even disappeared over the years, and he had no idea where she was
currently
Was it just him, or did he see a hint of Viola’s spirit in Skylar’s determination and decisiveness when identifying the fakes?
With the confidence that Skylar would succeed, Caleb couldn’t take his eyes off her on the monitor more he watched, the more fascinated he became
The
He really liked Skylar. He knew it was love at first sight from the moment he saw her restoring antiques. However, now he wondered if his love of extreme sports and motorbikes made him unworthy of her.
A new seed of change was sprouting in his heart. He had decided to turn a new leaf for Skylar! Meanwhile, the monitors could clearly show Skylar’s professionalism and how focused she was while working on restoration. She was also fast.
They weren’t given much to restore, so they were unlikely to work on it all day. However, they would still
need a few hours to complete the task.
In the past, Caleb wouldn’t have had the patience to watch someone restore old antiques. He would much rather watch skydiving.
However, now he didn’t even want to leave the monitor for a split second.
When he was at Daniel’s shop, he couldn’t keep staring at Skylar, or else he would get an earful from Daniel.
Alexander became increasingly absorbed as he watched Skylar doing the restoration work. He even asked the security team to zoom in so he could watch every detail of her process.
Both Alexander and Caleb were focused on watching Skylar. Even the security guard from the monitor room also took a look at her.
He didn’t understand why anybody would be so engrossed in something as boring as restoring antiques. However, Skylar did have a pair of beautiful hands. They were fair and slender.
Skylar was unaware that her every move was being watched. After finishing the final step of her work, she stood up to wash her hands.
She was the first to finish again.
Having learned from earlier, the other two candidates weren’t nervous at all. They figured Skylar was just showing off and was likely to have botched the restoration.
Instead of sitting down, Skylar walked over to the window and quietly gazed at the scenery.
She took a look at her watch. It was 12:30 pm.
