Skylar stared down at him condescendingly, “I would’ve reported you to Hades just based on your words alone, but my wife
doesn’t need to witness such a bloody scene!”
Iron felt a biting cold rush over him.
He had no doubt Skylar would do it.
“Let’s go, Yulia.”
Skyler took Yulia’s hand and left for a private room.
Katherine trailed after them.
The girl hung onto Yulia’s arm as she stared at Skylar with great marvel. “Your husband is amazing, Yulia!”
Yulia was proud to hear such great praise for her spouse. “He serves in the military. Of course, his skills are far superior to street
punks.”
“I know a few people who also served but none of them are at his level!”
Katherine was puzzled.
Skylar smiled and said nothing.
Candy and the others who were behind them had a sudden epiphany when they heard he served in the military.
“Serving in the military? Isn’t that just a nice way of saying he’s just a soldier with nothing to his name?”
Candy snickered.
Anderson was also giving Skylar a look of disdain, reinforcing the narrative in his head.
They fooled around for a while before Skylar and Yulia took their leave early to pick up Lola from school.
At the entrance to the kindergarten.
Lola cheered when she noticed both Skylar and Yulia waiting for her.
There was a twinkle in her eye when he picked the child up into his arms. She earnestly asked, “You play while I was at school?”
“You must have had good food too!”
She pouted, looking upset.
Skylar and Yulia shared a look.
Wasn’t she a little too smart?
“What makes you think we were off to play somewhere, Lola?”
Skylar asked, amused.
“Because only Daddy always comes for me. But Mommy is here today. She’s dressed so pretty. You went to play!”
She said clearly.
Skylar had to nod. “You’re so smart, Lola. You’re right. Mommy and Daddy were out to play.”
“Daddy will prepare crabs for dinner to make it up to you, okay?”
“Bring me next time!”
She clung to his neck.
“Alright. Alright. Daddy won’t forget our precious baby next time!”
Skylar couldn’t help but kiss her cheek.
Yulia watched it happen on the wayside. It was such a sweet sight.
She soon received a call from Naomi Fuller after they piled into the car.
Naomi was her assistant at the company. It was not yet the end of the day. Could something have happened?
She didn’t hesitate to answer the call.
“Is something the matter, Naomi?”
“The production department is here to report that the first batch of the anti-blemish cream is ready. We’re waiting for your
signature to distribute the goods.”
Naomi spoke through the phone.
Yulia was overjoyed to hear the news. “That’s great! It’s just in time!”
“Have the production department send a few samples. I’ve contacted the supervision bureau in advance. Have someone go
expedite the process. Once we pass the test and receive our certificate of conformity and sales permit, the goods can be
distributed to the market.”
“Yes, Ms. Yulia.”
Naomi answered respectfully.
Yulia was now her sister-in-law-to-be but she still stuck to company etiquette.
“Have the marketing department make preparations. We’re inviting the media and holding a press conference once we receive
everything we need. Whether Kareem Fashion will see a good turnaround will depend on it!”
Yulia added.
