Edgar felt concerned when he realized that Joe hadn't mentioned his birthday to Skylar.
After a moment, Edgar sighed again. "Mr. Martin is rather pitiful. He's only celebrated with Mrs. Martin Senior. But this year, you'll be with him."
It was indeed a heart-wrenching story. Edgar felt quite clever for his insight.
Skylar replied, "We have a reservation tonight. Thanks for the reminder, Edgar. We won't see Mrs. Martin Senior tonight, then."
After ending the call, Skylar chose a gift at the mall across the street during her lunch break.
The mall was filled with a dazzling array of items—men's clothing, bags, and more. She was at a loss about what to get Joe for his birthday.
She might have had more time to select something thoughtful if she had known two days in advance.
Joe's clothing was all custom-made. Suddenly, she spotted a pair of matching couple's loungewear in the display. The loungewear featured adorable deer embroidery on the front.
She wondered what it would be like if she and Joe wore matching loungewear at home. In fact, she wondered what Joe would look like in such loungewear. It was hard to imagine, so Skylar bought it on a whim.
Since loungewear couldn't serve as the main birthday gift, she also bought a ring that could be engraved on the spot. She chose a design featuring a flower symbolizing safety and engraved "Happy Birthday" on it.
The craftsmanship of the jeweler was impressive. The drawing was almost identical to the one she had made.
The gift wasn't expensive, but it was heartfelt.

Natalie returned to the studio. Everyone else had been given a day off by Austin. Only Austin and Hank were present.
"Sorry, Mr. Powell, Hank. I'm here to resign."
Natalie stared at the two people in front of her. "Mr. Powell, if I stay, no one in the industry here will dare to cast you in a film."
To Austin, acting was everything. Without roles to play, it would be extremely unfair to him.
"I can't let your career suffer because of me. I can't be that selfish. Besides, personal issues have already affected my work. I really shouldn't stay. I'm truly sorry."
Austin knew Natalie was determined to leave. After a moment of silence, he said, "I won't accept your resignation, but you can take a month off. Use this month to sort out your issues. As for Hank and me, our careers will turn around within this month. You can come back then."
"Yes, take a month off," Hank immediately echoed.
He then sneaked a glance at Austin and mused over the statement. A month? Austin must be very confident to provide such a precise time frame.
Natalie could only agree. Besides, there was another troublesome matter waiting for her next.

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....
