Chapter 558
Skylar was taking her lunch break when she saw the message from Paul. She had just finished a small portion of her latest painting restoration.
Caleb had gone abroad for the past two days, so he hadn’t come to work–some small tasks needed to be completed by her.
She had planned to eat a sandwich quickly for lunch to save time and then get back to work. After a few bites, she casually checked her phone and saw the message.
She was surprised that Joe ordered a custom traditional dress for her. However, he hadn’t mentioned anything to her.
Skylar immediately called Paul. Paul answered quickly, “Hello, Mrs. Martin. Are you on your lunch break?”
“Yes, I’m just taking a quick break. Why did Mr. Martin suddenly order a custom traditional dress for me?” Skylar asked.
Paul replied, “I’m not entirely sure. Perhaps it’s because traditional dresses have become quite popular among the girls in Jipsburg lately. It’s part of the retro craze. So, Mr. Martin must have thought of you. I must say, Mr. Martin is really thoughtful when it comes to you.
“I’ll send you the address. It would be best if you could get there before 4:00 pm. The tailor is very experienced, and finishes work early, and many people are waiting in line for him to make their traditional dresses.”
“Alright, send me the address. I’ll try to be there before 4:00 pm.” Skylar glanced at the time. It was noon. She should have enough time.
After finishing her sandwich, she immediately got back to work.
“By the way, Mr. Martin has been quite busy these past few days, so he hasn’t returned to Galaxy Villa,” Paul mentioned hurriedly as Skylar was about to hang up.
Skylar’s concern prompted her to tell Paul, “Make sure he takes care of himself.”
“Certainly!” Paul replied enthusiastically. As soon as the call ended, Paul hurried upstairs to Joe’s office.
Joe had only had a cup of coffee for lunch. He skipped the meal entirely.
Paul noticed the steaming coffee on the table He wondered why Joe had returned to his old habit of skipping meals. Previously, Joe’s lunches had been well–balanced and hearty. In the past, it didn’t seem unusual. Paul thought it was normal for Joe to eat this way. But now, he felt that Joe only drinking coffee and skipping meals was really unhealthy.
“Mrs. Martin mentioned during the call that you should be mindful of your health. Skipping lunch and just drinking coffee isn’t good for you. Should I order some takeout for you?”

Paul asked cautiously.

Joe’s attention sharpened when he heard the words “Mrs. Martin“. He glanced at Paul and asked, “Skylar said that?”
“Yes, Mrs. Martin asked you to take care of yourself.” Paul nodded eagerly. The specifics of who made the call were less important than the fact that Skylar had expressed concern.
Joe’s stern expression softened slightly. “She’s considerate. Go ahead and order some takeout based on my usual preferences.”
“Understood.” Paul swiftly left to place the takeout order. He realized that Skylar could effortlessly handle what others struggled to achieve. He merely passed on a message, and she got Joe to have lunch.
As the office door closed, Joe tapped his fingers on the phone screen on his desk. Over the past three days, Skylar had not contacted him at all.
They said men turned cold and forgetful once they got out of bed. But in his eyes, the heartless one over the past three days had been Skylar.
“Unfeeling,” Joe muttered to himself.
He might have forgiven her if she had sent even a single message during those three days.
However, for now, he would accept her apology through Paul and try to forgive her.
…
Annabelle felt anxious. She got back into her car and called Jeremy.
