Chapter 1633

Zavier uncrossed his legs with a casual flair and stood up, ready to leave.

Garrett called out, “Zavier, you’re taking off just like that?”

Without looking back, Zavier replied, “Yeah, I’m out.”

Garrett didn’t have the mind to dwell on Zavier’s departure. His eyes were fixed on the striking young lady before

him. “Braiden, let’s get this contract signed now. If it’s cool with you, we can have Skyler start tutoring my little

brother tomorrow at my place.”

Braiden was more than happy to oblige, but he deferred to Skyler’s preference. “Skyler, what do you think?”

Skyler was both polite and humble in her response. “Mr. Garrett, since I’m still in school, I can only offer lessons

during my free time.”

“Mr. Garrett?” He laughed. “No need for such formality. Call me Garrett. Your accent… are you from down South?

Did you get into Capital College?”e2

Not everyone had the chops to get into Capital College. With talent like that in front of him, Braiden was keen to

brag a bit. “Yep, our Skyler here is from Southern Port. She made it to The Capital College all on her own merit.

She’s off to enroll the day after tomorrow.”

He’d only just met Skyler, had skimmed her resume, and now he was dropping “our Skyler” like they were old

chums. Braiden was eager to make it known he’d discovered a gem.

“Wow, what a coincidence! Skyler, you’re going to be my junior then, Garrett said, delighted by the connection but

shooting Braiden a chilly, pressuring glance that seemed to say, “Why are you still here? She’s my junior, and I

want a word with her alone. Beat it if you know what’s good for you.”

Braiden, an old hand at reading the room, easily picked up on Garrett’s silent warning. He glanced at his watch,

feigning a conflict. “Garrett, I’ve got other stuff to take care of, so I’ll head out. If there’s anything else you need to

know, Skyler can fill you in.”

Garrett feigned reluctance. “Sure, that works.”

As Braiden stood to leave, he added, “Garrett, it’s tough to get a cab around here. Would you mind giving Skyler a

lift later?”

Skyler opened her mouth to interject, but Garrett didn’t give her the chance to speak. “No worries. We’ve got

drivers aplenty. I’ll have someone take her home.”

Braiden hurried off, leaving Skyler alone in the room.

Facing a guy around her age, Skyler felt a twinge of nervousness. “Mr. Garrett, I…”

He leaned closer. “Skyler, remember, just call me my name. If you go all formal on me again, I might actually get

upset.”

Skyler shifted away, trying to maintain a professional distance. “Garrett, I’m supposed to tutor your brother. Maybe

I should chat with him a bit?”

He moved in as she pulled away. “He’s still a kid; what does he know? You can talk to me, and I’ll relay it to him.”

Victor piped up, “Hey, I’m not that little. I’m ten. And I can talk to my own tutor.”

Garrett turned around with a playful smile as he looked at the little boy. “Is your homework done yet?”

That smile sent a shiver down Victor’s spine. “Garett…”

“Get your homework done properly. Begging won’t help you now,” Garrett said as his demeanor shifted. “Rachel,

take the little man to his study. Keep an eye on him, or he’ll just play around.”

Victor might have been young, but he knew the score. His brother was scary when mad, but even scarier when

smiling. He didn’t dare to rile Garrett up. Rachel knew the drill, too, and quickly whisked the kid away.

Now, it was just Skyler and Garrett in the spacious living room, the atmosphere growing tenser for Skyler. She

clutched the strap of her purse tightly. “Garrett, since Victor has to study, I should probably head out too.”

Garrett was quick to reply, “He will study, and I can get to know you better. That works for me.”
