Chapter 640
Jenny stared at her phone. Rowan had hung up on her. Grimness settled over her.
Why was Rowan forcing her into making a decision? He’d known that she liked Joe for a long time, yet he announced the news of his engagement in such a fashion.

Jenny thought he’d never settle down. Countless women had kept him company for wasn’t he keeping himself unattached because of his love for her?
years. However,
She bit her lips while lost in thought. Suddenly, a few women passed behind her. They were about her age. Jenny composed herself and walked into the building.
Joe had taken Skylar’s car to work and accidentally left a few documents in her car. Since he was free, he asked Lucas to drive him to the Gardner Group.
As he had given Alexander a heads–up, he’d been allowed to enter the building to seek Skylar out. However, he hadn’t told Skylar about it.
Thus, when Joe saw Skylar engrossed in her work, he could hardly look away. He stood before the glass windows and watched her.
However, this was the first time Joe considered Caleb a nuisance as he stood by Skylar. Caleb didn’t even look like he’d gone through puberty. His feelings for Skylar were apparent as he stared intently at her. Caleb was even more shameless than Joe, Skylar’s legal husband.
Joe pursed his lips.
When Alexander hurried over after finishing his work, he caught sight of Joe glaring through the window. He’d nearly burned a hole through the glass.
One look at Joe and Alexander knew that he was completely under Skylar’s spell.
In the past few days, he’d heard rumors that Edwin did not approve of Joe and Skylar’s relationship.
“When Skye is absorbed in her work, she seldom pays attention to her surroundings. Indeed, she’s mastered what Viola has to teach her. She might even surpass Viola’s skills,” praised Alexander generously.
He was implying that Skylar was an excellent woman. Joe must have saved the universe in his past life for him to marry Skylar.
In addition, Skye had helped many of Alexander’s old friends. All of them were coming up with ways to return Skylar’s kindness. However, not everyone would deserve such kindness.
As elders, they had a broader perspective on life. It seemed like Skylar didn’t deserve Joe due to her poorer background, but it was unclear who was truly taking advantage of whom.
Joe nodded and said, “She is indeed talented.”
Hê seldom saw this side of Skylar. Now that he had seen this side of her with his own eyes, Joe had felt his heart skip a beat.
Just then, Skylar noticed Joe. Through the window, she felt rather disoriented, and she thought her sight had failed her.
Surprised, Caleb exclaimed, “Joe?”
Chapter 640
Skylar put her work away and walked out.
“I left my documents in your car,” Joe explained once she walked out.
Skylar understood. That explained why Joe had shown up. She replied, “I wasn’t paying attention to whether there were documents in the car. I’ll take a look there.”
“Alright.”
They walked toward the elevator side by side.
2/2
Alexander and Caleb had been completely ignored. They exchanged glances with each other.
Caleb was rather jealous, complaining, “Skylar’s awesome. Look at Joe’s arrogant face, Grandpa. It’s like everyone owes him money. He doesn’t know how to treat Skylar right.”
Caleb seemed about to insist that Joe leave Skylar if the latter couldn’t treat her well, and the former would take over and treat her like the queen she was.
