Suddenly, Natalie frowned. “Honey, why do I smell perfume on you?” 

The scent of this perfume seemed familiar. She felt like she had just smelled it. 

Jeremy pursed his lips. “Do I? It must be the perfume the secretary was wearing. We happened to be in the same elevator this morning.” 

“There was a beautiful woman who just walked out. Is she your new secretary?” Natalie didn’t dwell on it, but she didn’t like the scent of this perfume. 

If she wasn’t confident that Jeremy only had eyes for her, she would definitely resent Jeremy for hiring a secretary who was even prettier than her. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Jeremy responded with a faint “Yeah.” 

Considering Jeremy’s indifferent attitude toward his secretary, Natalie decided not to think too much. 

She smiled and said, “Don’t be so aloof toward your employees, Mr. Hughes. What if you scare them 

away?” 

“Isn’t it a good thing that I’m only gentle to you?” Jeremy ruffled Natalie’s hair dotingly. 

Natalie couldn’t help but laugh. “Of course! I’m a jealous woman. I get green with envy easily. My husband 

is so handsome. I think many women have their eyes on you.” 

“Don’t worry. Even if others have their eyes on me, it’s useless.” Jeremy chuckled. 

Natalie’s heart swelled with joy at his words. “Me too. You can rest assured that there are many people pursuing me, but I don’t fancy any of them. I only have eyes for you, Mr. Hughes!” 

“If anyone else pursues you, tell them you’re Mrs. Hughes and order them to scram,” Jeremy remarked. 

coldly. 

Seeing that Jeremy was jealous, Natalie giggled mischievously. “I’m just teasing you. I’ve already announced on my social media that I’m married. Who would dare pursue a married woman?” 

Jeremy’s tense expression eased slightly. 

After work, Skylar was about to go to Pearlhall Residence to keep Gloria company. 

But then, she received a photo sent by an ex–classmate. That classmate happened to pass by Steven’s workplace and saw the scene at the entrance. 

Christopher was blocking Steven’s way and kneeling down in front of him. 

The photo was quite straightforward. She could see Steven’s shock and how Christopher was humbling 

himself. 

Skylar couldn’t believe that Christopher had gone to pester Steven. She took a deep breath, gripping the

steering wheel tightly. Then, she made a U–turn decisively. 

There was no traffic on the road, so she arrived fairly quickly at the technology company where Steven 

worked. 

At this moment, Steven was looking at Christopher indifferently. They were surrounded by a crowd who had gathered to see what was going on. 

“Help me, Steven. I beg you. Skylar and I have been together for so many years. We can’t just end our relationship like this,” Christopher pleaded. 

He didn’t expect Steven to remain unmoved. He had been talking for almost half an hour while being surrounded by so many people. In addition, he brought several classmates to help. They all urged Steven to help Christopher, but Steven refused to relent. 

Steven’s stance was very firm. “You can’t force matters of the heart. You and Skylar are no longer meant to be together. You didn’t cherish her when you had her. It’s too late to come crying now. 

“Christopher, no matter what you say or how many people you bring to help you, I will still say the same thing I won’t agree for Skylar to be with you.” 

Moreover, Skylar was already married. She had arranged for him to meet his brother–in–law in a few more 

days. 

Having experienced Christopher’s betrayal, Steven decided to give his brother–in–law a stern warning when he met him. He would make it known that he would protect Skylar at all costs and not let her suffer 

anymore. 

Christopher lowered his head, his eyes filled with malice. 

“Don’t be so unsympathetic. Christopher and Skylar have been together for so many years. They were the golden couple back in school. Weren’t they about to get married? They shouldn’t break up so readily over a trivial matter,” a male ex–classmate spoke up. 

Others also joined in to persuade Steven. 

Seeing them guilt–tripping Steven from a moral high ground, Skylar couldn’t just stand by any longer. With brisk steps, she walked over to them.
