NovelOnlineChapter 317 Skylar couldn't help but wonder if Paul and Joe had already eaten lunch.
Paul hesitated to speak as he stole glances at Joe.
Joe noticed Skylar's puzzled expression, and the dark cloud that had momentarily covered his mind dissipated instantly. "I wasn't hungry earlier." Seeing this, Paul quickly picked up his cutlery and said, "Yeah, I wasn't hungry either, but now I'm starving." Paul had skipped lunch in his rush to the airport and was genuinely famished. Watching Skylar enjoy her food had made his mouth water.
As Skylar nibbled on her dish, she said to Joe, "I know you both have a lot going on here. I planned my itinerary last night, so feel free to focus on your tasks. I'll go explore on my own." Joe pursed his lips slightly, and his gaze grew stern. "You're going alone?" "Yeah, you guys can go ahead with your work. If you're free later, we can explore together.
