NovelOnlineIt then dawned on Skylar that he came with Yulia yesterday too.
The little girl suspected they secretly went off somewhere to have fun without her, and Skylar had to
shop for lots of crabs to smooth Lola’s ruffled feathers.
Now that Skylar and Yulia appeared together again, the little girl got jealous.
“Lola, you got the wrong idea.
“Mommy has a lot to do at the office today, and daddy has been helping her. That’s why I’m with her to
come and pick you up.”
Skylar immediately explained.
“Is that so?”
Lola’s gaze fell on Skylar and then on Yulia.
Skylar let out a bitter laugh. “Of course, it’s true.
“Daddy will never lie to our precious angel.
Yulia chimed in, “I will never lie to you too.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWithout Mommy and Daddy putting that out in the open, Lola was back to her chirpy self.
Wrapping her arms around the nape of Skylar’s neck, she gave him the loudest smooch on the cheek.
“Daddy, I was only pretending. I love Daddy and Mommy!”
She was a cheeky girl for putting up an act.
Skylar burst into laughter.
“Lola, you kissed Daddy. What about Mommy? Don’t I get any?”
It was Yulia’s turn to feel left out.
“I’ll give Mommy a kiss too!”
Lola put her neck out and pecked Yulia on the cheek.
However, it did not feel special because Yulia had to ask for the kiss…
Yulia felt a little down.
“Let’s go, sweetheart. Daddy’s going to take you to dine at a great place!”
Skylar said with smugness in his voice.
Yulia gnashed her teeth as she stared at the father and daughter. So much for being Mommy’s girl.
The following day, Skylar dropped Lola off at the kindergarten and went to the office with Yulia.
With the next two days crucial for the implementation of the anti-blemish cream project, Yulia started to
feel the pressure. Since Skylar’s schedule was clear, he decided to stay by Yulia’s side and share the
burden when necessary.
Not too long after the pair entered the office, Naomi came barging in unannounced.
“Oh, no! Ms. Yulia!”
“What happened?”
Yulia anxiously asked.
“Didn’t you put down the order to increase two production lines for the anti-blemish cream yesterday
morning? The person in charge of the factory has hired the workers to build the facilities, and the
construction should begin this morning.
“A bunch of hooligans came to the building site just before work could begin.
“They were armed with metal rods and knives, taking over the area where the foundation was
supposed to be laid.

“These workers had never seen anything like it, so they were obviously scared and hid in the lounge.
They don’t want to bring attention to themselves.”
Naomi reported.
“That’s crazy.” Yulia jolted to her feet. “Did the person in charge of the factory call the cops?”
Naomi helplessly replied, “The person in charge called the cops immediately, but it’s not these people’s
first rodeo. They leisurely walked away at the sound of police sirens, but once the police were gone,
they came back again.
“We’re fighting a guerilla war. The police can’t do anything since they didn’t commit any crime.”
At that point, Yulia was at a loss for what to do.
She was all about the facts, and the thing she feared the most was people playing the long and
shameless game.
It was impossible to get rid of these people. It was not like she could hit them and kick them out. They
would stick around and give others hell. Yet, there was nothing she could do about it.
Just then, Skylar puckered his brows and faintly uttered, “Naomi, do you know whose orders these
people are acting on?”
