Chapter 160
Skyler was trying to make the woman next to him go away, but he saw Jocelyn looking at him. Then, he
instantly thought of the way she and Abel were standing together and talking. Therefore, he tensed his
face, gave up what he wanted to say to drive the celebrity away, and leaned lazily on the sofa.
Jocelyn saw this scene and stopped in her tracks immediately.
She frowned slightly. ‘Is he planning to have a long talk with that celebrity?’ She stared at Skyler,
forgetting to look away for a while. Skyler also came here straight after getting off work, so he was
wearing a tie and a suit. He looked into Jocelyn’s eyes and the irritability in his heart subsided a little. He
could not help reaching his hand out, loosening the tie around his neck, and revealing his sexy Adam’s
apple. Looking at his appearance, Jocelyn’s eyes twinkled. For some reason, he thought of the word
poppy’. It was dangerous and deadly, but it made people want to get closer. Jocelyn pursed her lips. No
matter how attractive Skyler was, she should not be attracted to him.
After all, she would always remember how Skyler provoked her with his words. Jocelyn stared blankly at
Skyler and thought to herself, “If a person doesn’t allow you to have inappropriate thoughts about him,
but you have those thoughts that you shouldn’t have, you would just be like a moth flying to a flame.”
The celebrity sitting next to Skyler was Rhode Ginn and she was just a B-lister.
She had to beg to come to this party tonight. She knew that a big shot would show up at this party
tonight and if she could claim connections with him, she would not have to worry about resources in her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlifetime.
She had noticed Skyler early on. As soon as Skyler entered the door, she could te!l that he had the aura
of someone in a leadership position and it was not something that anyone could learn.
Although Skyler was low-key and no one knew his identity, Rhode knew that the more powerful a person
was, the more low-key he was.
Rhode had guessed everything, but the only thing she did not expect was that Skyler would be so
handsome. Even if he did not have money, women might still flock over to him just for his looks.
Skyler sat here indifferently, his imposing manner was overwhelming, and his expression was indifferent.
He was out of tune with the atmosphere in the room and no one dared to come forward to disturb him.
However, Rhode just could not hold herself back. She wanted resources, she wanted to become famous,
and she also wanted this handsome and charming man.
She plucked up her courage and sat down beside Skyler. She had thought that Skyler would say
something whether he wanted to pay attention to her or not, even if he asked her to get away from him.
As a result, Skyler loosened his tie and did not say a word.
Rhode’s eyes twinkled. Was he… consenting to this?
She reached out to help Skyler pour some wine. Then, she raised the glass and turned towards Skyler,
her voice soft as a spring breeze. “Would you like a drink?”
Skyler saw that Jocelyn was still looking at him and he did not know what she had in her mind. Hence,
he took over the wine from Rhode’s hand.
Then, he raised the glass and finished the wine.
When Skyler was taking over the wine just now, the pad of his finger touched Rhode’s finger. For a
moment, Rhode felt that her heart was beating wildly, and her hand was a little numb.
She mistakenly thought that Skyler was interested in her. So, she could not stop herself from inching
closer to him.
Skyler finished his drink, put the glass on the table, and looked up again to find that Jocelyn had
withdrawn her gaze and turned her back to him.
Skyler felt very uncomfortable.
Rhode stared blankly at Skyler and continued pouring him a drink. Then, he continued to drink with a
dark face and did not say anything.
Lexie, Jocelyn, and Davis turned around and went to the corner to find a seat.
Lexie had noticed Jocelyn’s gaze just now, so she asked, “The woman next to Skyler is wearing the
same clothes as you!”
Jocelyn did not notice what she was wearing until she turned her head to look at Rhode. It was indeed
true.
She muttered, “I wasn’t paying attention just now.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLexie nodded, her voice a little tense, “I understand. It’s not scary to wear the same outfit as someone
else, but the uglier one will be the more embarrassed one.”
Jocelyn was in a bad mood at first, but when she heard Lexie say that sentence in this kind of tone, she
felt inexplicably joyous
She curled her lips and smiled. “She’s a celebrity so she’ll look better than me.”
Lexie pouted and said straightforwardly and seriously, “Not all celebrities are beauties, you are prettier
than her!”
When he saw Lexie being so serious, Davis smiled and nodded in agreement. “Indeed, you’re much
prettier than her”
Jocelyn smiled and said, “Alright, you two are not bad as well.”
Davis laughed. “Are we flattering each other?”
Jocelyn smiled and shook her head. “No, we are just returning politeness for politeness.”
Davis smiled and said to Lexie, “Look at how good your bestie is with words.”
Lexie’s face was a little tense. “Jocelyn, do you think that the celebrity looks like someone?” Jocelyn was
a little surprised. She looked up at Rhode and she could only see her side profile. She asked, “Who?”
Lexie pressed her lips together and said, “Snow Sullivan.” Jocelyn’s expression changed and did not
answer her.
Davis was curious. “Who’s Snow Sullivan?”
