Skylar’s phone rang at that moment.
“Skye, you need to be here 30 minutes early!” Natalie’s voice came through the
phone.
Skylar checked the time and realized it was indeed getting late. She hurried to the
kitchen and informed Janine and Steven that she was leaving to meet her friend.
As she was leaving, she turned to Annie, who had been observing her intently. “See
you another day, Ms. Silver,” Skylar said. “It was nice meeting you.”
Steven, walking out of the kitchen, overheard Skylar’s words. He gazed at Annie with a tenderness in his eyes. “Skylar likes you, Annie, and so does my mom. I knew they
would.”
Annie seemed flustered.
“Is everything alright? Are you tired?” Steven asked with concern, noticing her weary
expression.
Annie shook her head. “No, it’s nothing. I just didn’t sleep well last night.”
“Was it because you were nervous about coming here?” Steven asked gently.
Lost in thought, Annie offered a small nod. “Yes, I worried I wouldn’t be a good fit and that your family wouldn’t approve. Thankfully, they seem happy with me.”
“Don’t worry,” Steven reassured her with genuine affection. “As long as I like you, my family will too.”
Annie’s heart ached. If she hadn’t been in love with Joe for so long, she might have fallen for Steven. Over their time together, she had come to appreciate his considerate nature and his impressive integrity and capability.
Suddenly, Skylar’s earlier words echoed in her mind. “The Williams family…”

Observing Annie’s discomfort, Steven paused for a moment before excusing himself

to look for Janine.
Annie didn’t catch their conversation, but Steven returned shortly afterward.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you home so you can rest. You’ve got a busy schedule with the new show coming up. You need to be well–rested.”
“Alright, I’ll just apologize to your mom.”
“I already did. She understands. Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
On her way to the movie premiere event, Skylar stopped at a red light and sent Joe a voice message. “Are you busy right now?”
Ten minutes went by without a response. It seemed Joe was busy.
Skylar felt compelled to learn more about Annie from Joe. She doubted Annie truly liked Steven. If she did, she wouldn’t have been so eager to gauge Skylar’s opinion back at the house. And Annie’s expression wouldn’t have shifted so abruptly when Skylar mentioned the Williams family. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
If Annie genuinely cared for Steven, Skylar would be happy for them. However, if Annie intended to use Steven for some ulterior motive, Skylar wouldn’t allow it to
happen.
Soon, she arrived at the cinema for Austin’s movie premiere event.
Natalie was waiting for her outside. She handed Skylar a ticket. “Let’s go! You’re
going to be one of the first to see this movie. Aren’t I the best?”
Skylar gave Natalie a thumbs up. “Of course, you’re my best friend.”
“Haha! Absolutely! But hey have you lost weight recently? Are you secretly dieting?” Natalie teased, squinting playfully.
