Chapter 57 In the other ward, Jocelyn could not help frowning the moment the door closed. “What is Jim trying to do?”
Lexie shook her head, not wanting to discuss the issue. “It’s nothing, he’s just cheeky. He’s no trouble. You should go back quickly, you still have to go to work tomorrow!”
Jocelyn’s eyes shone. “All right then, you should get some rest. Call me if you need anything!”
Lexie nodded. “Alright, I got it, hurry up and go!” Jocelyn walked out. The moment she closed the door, she noticed Skyler walking out from the ward next door.
The two met gazes and then looked away at the same time.
Jocelyn pinched her fingers. She did not even do anything wrong so why was she behaving like she was guilty or something? Thinking of this, she turned around and walked directly to the elevator as if there were no one else around.
Skyler followed her without saying a word.
The two entered the elevator at the same time. Jocelyn looked at the two silhouettes reflected on the elevator wall and felt a little uncomfortable.
Ever since Skyler criticized her so that she would not get any bright ideas, she felt inexplicably suffocated when she was together with him.
She moved to the side. Skyler could not help frowning. “Am I so terrifying?” Jocelyn’s legs froze a little. “You’re thinking too much, President Moore!”
Skyler looked at how Jocelyn was behaving and felt inexplicably upset. “Don’t call me that when we’re off work!”
Jocelyn nodded. “Alright, Mr. Moore!”
Skyler’s expression sunk but he no longer had intentions of correcting her either. “You don’t have to try so hard to avoid me, I won’t eat you!” Jocelyn shook her head quickly. “It’s not what you think, Mr. Moore, I’m just afraid that I’ll affect Mr. Moore’s mood!”
Skyler frowned, expression dark. He heard Jocelyn continue, “By the way, this afternoon, I called Mr. Rand over for dinner because I didn’t know that President Moore was next door. If I had known, I would certainly have refused Mr. Rand!”
Jocelyn made it clear that she did not invite Skyler over next door for dinner that evening and that she did not have the desire to hit on him.
Skyler’s expression was dark but also a little green.
Just then, the elevator door opened. With a cold snort, he strode toward the parking lot.
Jocelyn looked confused. Did she say something wrong?
Why was the man so foul-tempered!

With her lips pressed together, she walked toward her own car.
Skyler’s car happened to be parked next to Jocelyn’s car. Jocelyn noted that his car was alike his temper, explosive as it sped away leaving dust behind. She started her own car slowly, driving away from the hospital in the night. Jocelyn thought that Skyler must have reached home earlier than her. In the end, Skyler had just entered the house, putting his car keys down when she returned to Villa No.1.
Jocelyn went in and changed her shoes, she saw Skyler enter the living room.
She was about to change her shoes and head upstairs when she heard the housekeeper say to Skyler, “Sir, the shower gel and shampoo that you requested have been bought!”

Jocelyn instantly recalled breakfast that morning. Skyler had asked her what shampoo and shower gel she was used to. Her footsteps halted and she subconsciously looked at Skyler and the housekeeper. Skyler noticed that Jocelyn’s gaze was directed over here and instantly he felt tense. He was not really able to control his expression and his tone was a little harsh.”So what if you have bought it? You don’t have to report this kind of thing to me!” Jocelyn’s eyes flashed. Had she mistaken? Why did she feel that Skyler looked a little miffed! The housekeeper did not expect Skyler to get mad all of a sudden and quickly nodded.” Understood, sir! i’ll keep quiet next time!” Expression dark, Skyler walked past Jocelyn as he headed upstairs. Jocelyn felt that the housekeeper had been wrong and could not help but say to Skyler, “Did you buy the shower gel and shampoo that I mentioned this morning?” Skyler’s footsteps faltered. “You think too much!” Jocelyn exclaimed, “Oh. I made a mistake, I apologize. I didn’t mean anything else, I just wanted to tell you that the shower gel and the shampoo that I mentioned this morning are for women. If you need it, I can recommend you the men’s!” To save him from smelling too flowery from using the shampoo and then saving the housekeeper from a scolding
DO
Skyler spat out rigidly, “No need!”
That said, he stormed upstairs.
In the end, Jocelyn could not stand it anymore and rolled her eyes, making her way up leisurely.
Skyler’s bathroom.
Skyler picked up the newly bought shower gel and shampoo in the bathroom. He took a look at the name, it was the one Jocelyn mentioned that morning.
He took off his clothes and began showering.
Back then, he had been clear with his disgust, been clear that he would never use this kind of
thing.
However, once he started showering, he recalled how he had been able to fall right asleep when he hugged Jocelyn at night. He was silent for a few seconds, before finally reaching for the shampoo and then washing his hair. After washing his hair, he frowned and his gaze sunk again. He squeezed out a little of the shower gel and lathered his body.
Skyler had thought that he would probably be able to fall asleep after showering with the shower gel and shampoo that Jocelyn uses.
Alas, he did not expect that he would be smelling all perfumed after his shower. It made him feel a little weird.
He laid down on the bed, tossing and turning but regardless, he could not fall asleep. Finally, he woke up reluctantly after an hour and went to the bathroom to take a shower. With that, the perfume on his body mellowed out a bit. However, after he laid down on the bed again, his eyes still remained open and he could not fall asleep!
Jocelyn had finished her shower. She fell asleep a little after she laid down for a while
About midnight, she felt very thirsty. She rubbed her bleary eyes, turned over, and opened her eyes, planning on getting out of bed to get some water to drink. In the end, she reached her hand out, groping for the lights but suddenly felt a person’s hand by the bed. “Ah!” Jocelyn immediately let out a sharp yell as she jumped out of bed.
