Chapter 159
Jocelyn was about to say something when she saw Skyler getting out of the car, his expression was very cold and he walked straight into the villa without looking sideways, ignoring him and Abel directly. It suddenly occurred to Jocelyn that in the morning, Skyler called to say Jim had hosted a party and asked her if she wanted to go. Her expression changed. She did not expect it to be so coincidental that the party Skyler was talking about was actually the same party that Davis was talking about. She rejected Skyler righteously but came over with Davis. The more Jocelyn thought about it, – the more awkward she felt.
Jocelyn was still thinking about whether to find a time to explain it to Skyler in private when she heard Abel complaining, “I didn’t expect Moore the Second to be here tonight. It’s such a small world. We can even be neighbors during parties.” Jocelyn did not care about his complaints. “Mr. Crain, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go first.”
Abel grinned. “Don’t go so quickly, let’s talk a little bit more. Look at Moore the Second’s unchanging dark face, you will be tormented by him if you go in.”
Jocelyn was speechless. “There are other people at the party.” Seeing that Jocelyn really did not want to talk to him, Abel could only purse his lips. “Okay, I won’t force you to stay, but I’m saying this for your own good, try to keep a distance from Moore the Second.” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Jocelyn had heard Abel say this more than once, but she could only try to stay at an appropriate distance from Skyler in their relationship.
She nodded. After that, Abel waved his hand, turned, and walked toward the villa next door.
The villa for the party is large, especially the living room, which could accommodate many people.
There were often rich kids hosting parties here and Skyler did not expect that Jim would choose this place tonight.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a foul atmosphere in the living room. There were all kinds of celebrities, influencers, and kids with rich parents. There were all kinds of people here and it was very chaotic.
Skyler caught Jim in a corner, and he was having a lot of fun with an influencer. Then, he grabbed Jim to the sofa next to a French window.
“What’s going on? Is this the private party you mentioned?” The vein on Skyler’s forehead was throbbing and he looked as if he was going to fly into a rage at any second.
He was already pissed about what happened with Jocelyn. Now, he did not expect Jim to do this.
Jim said matter-of-factly, “Didn’t I tell you I want to host a party to celebrate? Plus, this is
the first time you propose a gathering, so I want to make it livelier and that’s why I found these people to hype this party up.” Skyler rubbed his brow bone, and his face was dark. He looked like he was in a horrible mood. Jim was a little scared and he pursed his lips. “Isn’t the party livelier with more people? What’s wrong? Are you not happy?” Skyler gave him a cold look “Do you think I can be happy in this foul atmosphere?” Jim was helpless. “Do you want me to drive all of them away now?”
Skyler was too lazy to continue discussing this topic with him. When he thought that Jocelyn might still be talking to Abel outside, he was even more irritated. “Go away, don’t stand in front of me like an eyesore.”
Jim shook his head helplessly and continued to look for the influencer to flirt with her.
As a result, he only took two steps and spotted Lexie in the corner talking to Davis.
There were quite a lot of people coming tonight and he never expected that Lexie would come.
After Davis entered the door, he was confused. He did not expect that Skyler asked him to participate in a party where celebrities and influencers gathered. Obviously, they were just here to have fun, and yet Skyler was talking about getting to know the big names in the jewelry industry.
However, he did not dare to ask Skyler about this.
After he entered the door with Lexie, he found a place to chat with her.
Jim straightened his collar immediately, intending to go say hi to Lexie.
As a result, when he was about to approach Lexie after taking two steps, the influencer who was with him just now came over and grabbed his arm. The influencer’s voice was soft and coquettish. “Mr. Rand, you told me to wait for you, but why did you turn around and ignore me?”
At this moment, Lexie’s eyes turned towards him. Almost subconsciously, Jim pushed the influencer away. With a stern expression on his face, his voice suddenly increased eight octaves, “Show some respect!” The influencer was unprecedentedly confused. All of them were used to playing like this, especially a playboy like Jim. How would she imagine that Jim would do this? Her eyes were red, and she reached out to pull Jim’s sleeve. “Mr. Rand, did I do something wrong?”
Jim dodged desperately. When he spotted Lexie looking at him indifferently before looking away, he even had the urge to choke this influencer to death.
Almost all his actions were subconscious and he never thought about why he was feeling so guilty doing this. After finally dismissing the influencer, he smiled and went to look for Lexie. Then, he heard Lexie say to Davis, “Davis, it’s too stuffy in here. Let’s go out to get some air, and by the way,
let’s see if Jocelyn has finished talking.” Davis nodded and walked outside with Lexie, turning their backs to Jim coldly. Jim had been a playboy for several years, and he had never felt like this before. His heart felt suffocated, and he felt strangely uncomfortable. He pressed his lips together and shook his head to get rid of those unhappy thoughts. Then, he turned around to go have fun with others.
The influencer did not remember her lesson last time and she went over to Jim shamelessly when she saw him coming over. Jocelyn met Lexie and Davis outside the villa and the three of them entered the villa. The moment she entered the door, she spotted a few familiar faces. They were all influencers or celebrities.
She frowned. What kind of party was this? When Skyler told her this morning, she thought it involved alcohol.
Jocelyn’s small face sank. She did not like this kind of place. She looked around the living room before she spotted Skyler. Skyler sat on the sofa next to the window. His expression was cold, and he looked very unapproachable. The light cast on his face softly, shrouding him with a layer of light. He sat there looking noble and cold. He was obviously emitting an unapproachable aura but somehow, he had an oddly deadly attraction.
When Jocelyn saw him sitting there alone, she was wondering if she wanted to explain to him why she rejected his invitation this morning but showed up here at night. After all, she did not want Skyler to think that she was someone who would contradict herself. In the end, the moment she took a step forward, she suddenly saw a familiar celebrity walking over and sitting next to Skyler obediently. At this moment, Skyler coincidentally raised his head and his eyes met with Jocelyn’s midair.
