StarNovel“My high school classmate, Valerie, wants to treat us to dinner,” Skylar whispered as he covered the
phone’s receiver.
“Valerie Pearce?” Yulia asked softly as she turned to face the man.
All of a sudden, Lola exclaimed, “That’s right, Mommy! She’s the woman who’s just as beautiful as
you!”
“I’ll reject her invitation,” Skylar cleared his throat and said nervously, unsure of what Yulia was thinking
given her darkened expression.
Just as he was about to respond to Valerie, Yulia spoke, “Why should we reject a dinner invitation,
much less from a beauty? Are you feeling guilty, or are you worried that I’ll make you look bad?”
Skylar said nothing as he was unsure what to say. His mind was a jumbled mess and he began to

“Is Yulia okay with it, Skylar?” Valerie probed.
“She’s all right with it. See you later.” The man hastily ended the call after informing Valerie of Yulia’s
decision.
Although Yulia was amused by Skylar’s frantic response, she managed to keep a serious face. Hence,
the man had no choice but to placate her, in hope that it would lighten her mood. He wrapped his arms
around her and said gently, “My wife is the most beautiful woman on this planet!”
“Hmph! What a sweet-talker.” Yulia tried to wriggle her way out and left to get dressed.
Having caught notice of her slight smile, Skylar heaved a sigh of relief as he knew that his wife was
placated.
Skylar breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed her slight smile, knowing that his wife was pacified.
Dealing with a woman’s jealousy is even more difficult than fighting a battle against a powerful army.
Skylar, Yulia and Lola started making their way to the posh restaurant half an hour later. When they
arrived, they were brought by the waiter to a VIP suite that Valerie had specially reserved for the
evening.
Valerie immediately stood up to welcome her guest when she heard them arriving. She could already
hear Lola’s chirpy voice from a distance away. “Aunt Valerie is so pretty!”
Delighted by the little girl’s praise, Valerie said, “Aren’t you a sweet little girl, Lola!”
Skylar interrupted, “Valerie, let me introduce you to my wife, Yulia Sue.”
The woman turned to face Yulia, who stood next to Skylar. Her face brightened as she gushed, “You’re
so stunning and gorgeous, Yulia! It’s no surprise that Skylar always sings your praises all the time.
Even as a woman, your attractiveness captivates me.”

about your talents ever since she saw your concert.”
“I guess both of us are mesmerizing in our unique ways,” Valerie teased.
Yulia nodded and just as she was about to speak, Valerie continued, “It seems that Yulia is the type of
girl you like, Skylar.”
“That’s correct!” Skylar exclaimed proudly. He chuckled uneasily, unsure why he had become the
subject of conversation.
Valerie turned to Yulia after nodding carefully and stated, “Men are notoriously greedy. It is natural for
people to desire to try something new after becoming bored with the old. I was taught about the
different lady styles at my company. Are you interested to learn from me, Yulia?”
Even though the woman appeared to be making a kind offer, Skylar and Yulia could sense that she had
ulterior motives.
