Chapter 177 

Lexie glanced at Jocelyn. She sounded upset as she spoke. “Yes, he said that to me in front of Yuni Shaw.” 

Jocelyn’s expression fell. No wonder Lexie looked so sad. A situation like this would only embarrass Lexie further. She reached out and hugged Lexie tightly. She did not say a word. During the day, Jocelyn kept Lexie company. At night, she was notified that the results of the Ocean Heart Jewelry Competition would be announced at 10 a.m. the next day. A banquet would be specially held at May First Hotel, and all the participants and designers were invited. Jocelyn responded. She had just taken a shower and dried her hair, and she was sitting in the living room. 

At that moment, the room door suddenly swung open. Jocelyn looked up, her gaze meeting Skyler’s. The look in his eyes drew her in, and Jocelyn could not stop her heart from racing. She could feel that something had changed between them. 

After they were rescued yesterday, they did not have the chance for any proper conversation. At that moment, there were only the two of them. She could not help the inexplicable nervousness that she felt. 

She retracted her gaze awkwardly. “You’re back!” 

Skyler nodded, closing the door behind him.

The sound of running water snapped Jocelyn out of her daze, and she bolted up from the couch.
