Chapter 56 When Skyler entered, he noticed Davis chatting with Jim. Lexie was surprised to see them.

“You guys know each other?” Jim was delighted. “We not only know each other, but we’re also old pals!”

A look of surprise flashed across Lexie’s cool face.

At that moment, Davis noticed Skyler who had come in and immediately stood up. “President Moore!”

Skyler looked at him indifferently. “We’re in a private setting, there’s no need to be so formal!”

Jocelyn came in carrying the food. She walked past Skyler deliberately, keeping a certain distance from

him as if he was some harmful gas.

Skyler noticed her behavior, his gaze sunk but he said nothing. Jocelyn opened up the box. “Lexie,

Davis, come eat!” Jim smiled as he opened his own. “Skyler, let us eat too!”

The corners of Jocelyn’s lips twitched. She somehow found this scene a little weird. Instantly, the

fragrance of the food wafted and filled the entire ward. Jim smiled as he looked at Davis. “Director Lang,

I didn’t think that you’d be a senior of Xixi and designer White!” Lexie heard what Jim said and

subconsciously looked toward Davis, all of a sudden panicked.“ Who the heck is Xie, quit calling me

names!”

Jim blinked. “You’re named Lexie, so why not Xixi!”

He had clearly seen how Lexie’s gaze changed just now. He inadvertently glanced toward Davis, his

gaze dimming slightly.

Jocelyn saw it clearly. Lexie was afraid that Davis might misunderstand that she was with Jim and could

not help but frown.

Skyler looked like he was eating but was actually paying attention to Jocelyn’s reaction.

He noticed her frown and felt discomfort. His expression sunk a little. “Can you not run your mouth while

we eat? If you don’t want to eat you can go back next door!” Jim immediately replied, “OK, I’ll zip it!” After

dinner, Davis bid his goodbye, adding that he would come back some other day to visit Lexie.

Jocelyn went to send him off.

Skyler popped a mint into his mouth. He stood in front of the corridor and looked down at Davis and

Jocelyn who were beside the lawn of the inpatient department. His expression was sullen, his thoughts

unfathomable.

In the ward, as soon as Davis left, Lexie instantly looked as if she had been hollowed out, wilted.

What kind of person was Jim Rand that he walked amidst thousands of flowers but none had ever

caught his eye; it did not matter who the woman was, he could see through them with a single glance.

Lexie’s loss was obvious in her expression. His eyes shone, the smile not reaching his eyes as he looked

at Lexie. “Xixi, what’s your relationship with Director Lang?” Lexie frowned. “If you’re gonna talk to me,

use my name, if not, don’t!” She paused, then explained. “Davis is my senior!” Jim raised his eyebrows

and pondered. “Really now? Why don’t I feel like that’s not the case?” Lexie was afraid that the other

would see through her feelings for Davis and immediately answered, “He saved my life before!” Jim did

not expect that there would be such a story. He had been inexplicably interested in Lexie at first sight. He

could not help but say, “In ancient times, if a beautiful woman was saved by a man and if the other

looked good, the beautiful woman would say that the young man was her saving grace and that she

could never repay him, adding that the only way would be for her to devote herself to him!”

Lexie frowned and looked at him without saying anything. Jim stared at her face and continued, “If the

other was ugly, the beautiful woman would say that while the man was her saving grace, she had nothing

to offer him in return other than offering herself for mule work to repay his saving grace!” Lexie’s mouth

twitched twice. “What are you trying to say?”

Jim’s expression was a rare seriousness. “So, what is your approach to Davis?” Lexie’s expression

instantly changed. Just then, the door of the ward opened. Jocelyn came in. She saw Jim and could not

help frowning. “Mr. Rand, why are you still here? Lexie needs to rest!”

Jim looked at Lexie’s haunted appearance, and then looked casually at Jocelyn. “Alright, I’ll leave then!”

Saying this, he then got up and walked out toward the door. He could not hold himself back from saying

to Lexie, “Don’t forget, you still haven’t answered my question yet!”

The moment Jim left, he saw Skyler standing there with a heavy look.

He smiled. “Isn’t your relationship with designer White something on a marriage certificate? Why didn’t

you say a single word to her when you saw each other?!”

Expression cold, Skyler turned around and walked back to the ward. “Our relationship is just

on paper!”

Jim followed up and looked at Skyler’s back with amusement. “I think… you’re treating her quite special!

Could it be that you’re secretly taken with her but are holding it in your heart with a tight lid on top!”

Skyler’s voice was indifferent. “You’re thinking too much, I’m not interested in her!” He just liked her talent

for design! If he was interested, he was only interested in Jocelyn because he wondered how she could

cure his insomnia, allowing him to fall asleep easily. Jim looked unimpressed. “Don’t be stubborn. Careful

it doesn’t come back to bite you one day!

Skyler snorted and said in a definitive tone, “You don’t have to worry, there will never be such a day! Stay

here yourself, I’ll be going now!” Skyler left without looking back. Jim blinked. He was that confident, eh?
