Skylar had never seen the man before.
It seemed that Janine and the man had known each other for a long time. Otherwise, he wouldn't be calling her by her first name so warmly.
But Skylar didn't have time to ask who he was.
"Mom. let's go to the hospital and get your foot checked out," she said.
Janine immediately declined. "No, it's fine. I fall all the time and am used to it. Even if we go to the hospital, they'll only tell me to go home and rest. We still have some medicated cream at home. I'll just apply it."
As she spoke, she walked to the door and was about to open it.
Then, she turned to the middle-aged man beside her and said, "Mr. Read, come in and have a cup of tea before you leave."
When Ted Read heard that, he glanced at Skylar before replying to Janine, "I still have some matters to attend to in the office. I'll treat you to a meal another time."
Ted left right after saying that.
Janine felt a little embarrassed that she had been given a ride home but couldn't even offer him a cup of tea.
After Ted left, Skylar asked, "Mom, who's that?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. That's Mr. Ted Read, the landlord of our building. He's been a great help to our company these past two years.
"Just now, he happened to see me fall after work and offered to give me a ride home," Janine explained.
Skylar just nodded before she said, "Let's go home and check your injury. If it's serious, we should still go to the hospital."
Seeing how concerned Skylar was, Janine smiled and nodded, "Alright, we'll take a look first."

The readers' comments on the novel: My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul
Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
