Chapter 610
Aldrich’s eyes widened in disbelief as he scrutinized Charles. What’s with you? Why the sudden interest in Joe? Are you trying to find yourself a sugar daddy or something?”
In their industry, it was pretty normal for one’s integrity to gradually deteriorate over time. After all, seeing those less capable achieve fame and success while remaining stuck in the shadows could unsettle even the most determined individuals. However, it was surprising that someone like Charles would harbor such thoughts.
Charles‘ lips twitched. “What are you talking about? If I wanted to pursue that, I would have done so long ago. What would I wait until now? I’m just asking out of curiosity.”
He was worried about being targeted. Wealthy people could be unpredictable, and they indulged in all kinds of entertainment
Direct confrontations were easier to dodge, but hidden dangers were far trickier. After making some progress in his career, he couldn’t afford any new complications.
Aldrich raised an eyebrow and leaned in. He whispered, “You wouldn’t be asking about Joe for no reason, would you? Did you see something unusual?”
Gossip about Joe was not easily accessible.
Moreover, if something did happen, the Martin Group’s PR team would handle it swiftly, and the situation would be resolved almost immediately. They would make sure no
information leaked out. So it wouldn’t even reach their ears.
Charles shrugged. “I’m just curious. I just overheard someone mention Joe in the elevator.”
Aldrich lowered his voice further. He said, “Honestly, I’ve heard rumors that Joe isn’t interested in women and might prefer men. People say his assistants are all men.”
Charles‘ expression tightened further, and he felt he couldn’t stay seated. He said, “I’m going to use the restroom for a moment.”
An hour later, Skylar and Joe had finished their dinner. As they were leaving, Joe took the shopping bag from Skylar.
“What’s in here?” Joe asked casually.
Skylar almost forgot she had bought two sets of loungewear. Loungewear.”
“Loungewear?”
“Yes, we each have a set. But you don’t have to wear it if
you don’t like it. I just thought it looked nice, so I bought two sets,” Skylar added with a quick explanation.
Joe’s lips curved into a faint smile. It indicated his mood had improved. “Since you bought them for me, I’ll wear them.”
Skylar was surprised by his decisive response. She raised an eyebrow and asked, “Really?”
She could easily imagine him shaking his head in refusal. He would look at the two sets of somewhat childish loungewear

with disdain and say that he wouldn’t wear them.
Joe simply nodded with an indifferent expression and hummed.

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....
