Chapter 33
“Are you sick?” David asked, insistently, completely ignoring Skylar’s cold attitude and voice.
“David” Jenna reprimanded in a slightly loud voice. “Why do you still ask prople who don’t want to be asked?”
David looked uncomfortable. His body stiffened slightly, and his eyes immediately glanced at Skylar who kept her eyes focused on the phone
“Wait a minute, Jenna, David said softly. “You should be worried too. Isn’t Skylar your sister and now your boss!”
Jenna immediately pouted hearing David’s words. If it wasn’t in front of Skylar and in a public place, she would have gone berserk with David
Besides, how could they meet Skylar here, in the hospital. What was she doing here? Was she really sick, or were her children!
The question also bothered Jenna, but not because of concem, but just curiosay and if according to her expectations, Skylar or her children were sick, she hoped that it was serious
“Honey, let’s go to the obstetrician’s office now. I think our names will be called soon. I’m so nervous,” Jenna said in a fake spoiled tone.
She R
grabbed David’s hand and wrapped it around his arm tightly. She wouldn’t let David escape from her grip again. Not in front of Skylar
Jenna pressed her breasts against David’s arm, standing as close to him as possible. She needed to show that David was hers and if possible, Skylar might get jealous.
Jenna knew that Skylar had always liked David and her feelings turned into love when she grew up. That’s why she didn’t refuse when that dama grandpa set her up with David, even when she knew that David loved Jenna.
David scratched the back of his neck, clearly awkward. “Jenna, she has a problem with her menstrual cycle. So, yeah. I just accompanied her to consult with the obstetrician”
Skylar grinned a little, sarcastically. “And you think I care:” She raised an eyebrow, “I don’t have time for other people’s personal matters. Especially you two. You don’t have to tell me, because your business is not important for me to hear.”
Jenna seemed to be about to reply to Skylar’s words, but before she could say her words, Skylar quickly interrupted.
“M. Caner, how about last month’s financial report Have all the deficits been tracked and completed?” Skylar asked “Don’t let your irregular menstruation make you forget what you have to do”
Jenna’s face immediately paled. She flinched, then turned to Skylar with a nervous expression.
“That that’s not a deficit. There’s a customer who hasn’t paid. I just follow up, and the bands come in, it’s done,” Jenna said with a shaky stance, “Besides, it’s not just about my period. I’m a few weeks late and I think I’m pregnant,”
David grabbed Jenna’s hand and shook his head at her with a look that told her not to say things like that to Skylar
Jenru glared at David in annoyance. What did he mean, he didn’t want to make Skylar jeklous?9
Skylar leaned back in her chair, crossing her legs. Her eyes were sharp on the couple in front of her, who seemed to be arguing through their eyes.
“Then, immediately collect the bill for that shameless customer,” Skylar said firmly. “You know, if you can get all the uncollected fees, you can even fix the condition of the garden near the swimming pool without having to use too much of the facilay repair fund”
Jenna’s face changed from pale to bright red. She wanted to refute Skylar, to retort and turns everything Skylar said with her chin held high, but she was helpless because everything Skylar said was the truth.
“Skylar, this is a hospital and I think it’s more important to prioritize your health than to think about business here, David said wisely.
Skylar snorted. She was really disgusted by the behavior of the two people in front of her.
Morcover, previously she had discussed with Anthony, the suspicion that one of them or maybe they were conspiring, to harm her by sending someone to follow them when they were in the playground
If weren’t for Anthony catching that person and then it became an accident, it could have been Skylar or her children who were affected and in danger, whatever the person’s goal was.
Skylar couldn’t erase the prejudice in her heart and mind towards Jenna, Lilian, and David.
Skylar’s gaze pierced David sharply. “Tak! You’re saying things that sound wise now. For what? Do you think I’ll be impressed!”
David gaped. “That’s not it, Skylar, I mean–”

Chapter 33
“Mr. Lawrence, from now on, stop using the hotel facilities or any property under The Carter’s name, for your personal or business interests Just because you’re Ms. Carter’s fiancé, doesn’t mean you can use the facilities as you please without paying.” Skylar said.
Skylar’s voice was sharp, cold, and very calm. But its sharpness stabbed straight into David’s pride. His face was bright red and his teeth chattered in his mouth.
“And you, Ms. Carter, the hotel is not completely yours because until now you still rely on large subsidies from the central company. Be smarter and wiser, don’t be stupid because of love. Business is business, Ms. Carter, Skylar continued, this time addressing Jenna.
Now Jenna and David were getting more awkward in front of Skylar. They never expected the matter to escalare like this.
“We’re professionals, right, Ms. Carter?” Skylar continued. “If by the end of the month there is still an unnecessary deficit, I will cut your salary. And if you object, just ask your fiancé to replace the shortfall in your salary”
Jenna opened her mouth, wanting to defend herself, but no words came out. She could only lower her head in the end.
Hearing Skylar’s words, David snorted, his face turning red with annoyance, Skylar had g
gone too far this time.

“Why are you so cynical, Skylar? I did not use Jenna for my own interests at all and I have said that I will immediately settle all the hotel bill matters. Why do I catch jealousy in your words, associated with business? You are the unprofessional one, Skylar,” David said in a mocking tone.
Skylar’s eyes immediately sharpened. She straightened up and her smirk clearly showed mockery.
“Aren’t you too confident, Mr. Lawrence? I’m jealous of you? What do you have! I have everything you can’t have, what do you expect me to be jealous of My man is way above you, and you say I’m jealous! Tsk tsk tsk, I think you need to see a psychiatrist. I think your parcissism has gone too deep.
was also a bitter tone in his voice.
David was on fire. Skylar was so condescending to him. He laughed arrogantly, although there was a
I guess you must have wasted a lot of
“What’s the use of a man who can only make you trouble, almost died because he couldn’t defend himself! I j time waiting for him here, right?” David said with a sneer
Skylar Immediately became tense “What did you say?”
It seemed like David knew his mistake. He became nervous and grabbed Jenna’s confused hand.
“Let’s go, baby,” David said hurriedly. The doctor who will examine you is probably here.
Skylar put her phone in her bag. She stood up slowly, staring at both of them sharply.
“Be careful. Mr. Lawrence. If you still like to interfere in other people’s lives, don’t blame anyone if your life will be a mess in the end, Skylar said calmly. “Don’t think I just keep quiet and let you disturb the people I love Wait and see, I can do crazier things than you, or anyone who tries to disturb me.”
With calm steps and a high head. Skylar left the cafeteria, leaving the couple immersed in awkwardness.
Skylar returned to the room where Anthony was being treated. She opened the door and walked over to the man on the bed.
“What took you so long, baby,” Anthony complained almost pouting.
Skylar chuckled. “Sorry. But, I have good news.”
“Hm? What is it?” Anthony asked.
“I think I know who sent the person who attacked you.”
