Chapter 143 I felt stiff all over , my face pale .
I couldnt believe what Lukas had just said .
I looked extremely embarrassed and humiliated .
I never expected Lukas to say such things .
I knew that I had acted on my own and didnt let Lukas punish Gwendolyn in the morning , and he found it ridiculous and was displeased .
But even so , he could have simply refused to help without humiliating me like this .
I gritted my teeth , my eyes turning red .
My pride wouldnt allow me to beg Lukas for help in such a lowly manner .
I took a deep breath , trying not to lose my composure .
Youre right , Mr.
Strakovski .
We dont have any relationship , and I was too presumptuous and thought too highly of myself .
Mr.
Strakovski has no reason to help me , and I was impulsive .
I apologize to Mr.
Strakovski , and from now on , I wont cross any boundaries again .
Im sorry , and good night .
After speaking , I directly lifted my foot and hurriedly walked upstairs .
Lukass mind went blank ; he didnt even know what he had just said .
Seeing my embarrassed look , he suddenly regretted it a little .
As I passed by him , he didnt hesitate and grabbed my arm .
I raised my voice immediately , my tone filled with embarrassment and anger .
Mr.
Strakovski , let go ! The little white cat meowed and clawed at Lukass pants , changing its usual soft voice to a fierce one .
It scratched him fiercely .
Lukas subconsciously let go , his voice tinged with reluctance .
Skylar .
I turned my head to look at him .
Mr.
Strakovski , I know my place now .
Please dont remind me again .
Lukas expression stiffened , and I had already walked upstairs in quick steps .
I the little white cat rushed to a corner .
Lukas stood still with his eyes closed .
A rare trace of distress appeared on his usually cold and stern face .
He had indeed drunk too much , and what he said just now was not what he meant .
He was just in a bad mood .
But even if he explained now , would Skylar listen ? Lukas shook his head régretfully and drank a glass of cold water .
After taking a shower and opening a mint candy , he sat on the ottoman in front of the French window .
He was already regretting what he had said downstairs .
He was really angry today about what happened in the box .
But he also knew how strong Sofias character was .
She had had countless opportunities to ask for his help , but she had never opened her mouth .
From this he could see that this time , she must have encountered real difficulties and needed to actively seek help .
14:03 Escape From My Step Brothers Dangerous Obsession 87.7 % Chapter 143 However , it was impossible for her to say those words just now .
The next day , as soon as Lukas went to work , he asked his employees to investigate if something had happened to Skylar recently .
In the design department , the news that I won the morning light competition came .
Everyone was congratulating me , but Olivias expression was extremely ugly .
Despite her best efforts to stir up trouble and even help Gwendolyn , my design draft remained unchanged .
To make matters worse , Gwendolyn has been absent from work since yesterday because she was fired .
This came as a surprise to her .
Olivia watched with jealousy and rage as everyone gathered around me to congratulate me .
She comforted herself , telling herself not to rush .
She would surely find an opportunity to ruin Skylars reputation and kick her out of the design department .
She thought to herself : Once she got rid of Skylar , she would become the most outstanding designer and Coles attention would definitely be focused on her .
At this moment , Cole called me to his office , and the jealous look in Olivias eyes could pierce through me .
I felt uncomfortable , and sudden turned around , causing Olivia to quickly avert her gaze .
Although I won the first prize , I couldnt be happy at all .
Early in the morning , Victoria sent me a message urging me , even showing me the first two lines of the letter in the envelope .
I became more certain that it was a letter from my father , Connor .
I felt a sense of urgency in my heart .
When Cole spoke to me , I was somewhat absent minded .
Cole wanted me to participate in the Menkerios Heart of the Sea Jewelry Design Competition , and I would need to travel for the competition , as the competition required the designer to design and draw on the spot .
I nodded , looking preoccupied .
couldnt help but furrow his brows .
Skylar , are you okay ? I snapped back to reality and immediately shook my head .
Im fine .
Cole looked at me with concern .
Then , after you finish here , go find Mr.
Strakovski .
The materials for this competition are with him , and he said you can go see him when you have time to get them .
I hesitated , looking somewhat troubled .
Can you help me get them ? After what Lukas said last night , I was afraid that I would feel even more embarrassed if I saw him now .
Cole saw through my thoughts in an instant .
You dont want to see Mr.
Strakovski .
I looked a little unnatural , and I quickly came up with an excuse .
Mr.
Strakovski is too strict , and I get nervous when facing him alone .
Cole nodded .
Thats true .
Although Mr.
Strakovski is only one year older than me , I was also afraid of him when I first started working with him .
But you dont need to be too nervous .
Mr.
