Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 1690 

The next morning. 

Skyler set out two hours early. Arriving an hour ahead at the gaming company’s building, she decided to wait downstairs until it was time to go up and meet her contact. 

At the reception, she simply gave her name and was warmly escorted to the Music Director’s office by the receptionist. “Miss Free, right this way, please. Ms. Tina has been eagerly awaiting your arrival.” 

“Thank you,” Skyler said with a polite smile. 

Soon, she was ushered into the Music Director’s office. “Tina, Miss Free has arrived.” 

Tina looked up and was taken aback by the youthful face before her. “I didn’t expect Miss Free to be so young and yet so talented in songwriting.” 

Music wasn’t something everyone can excel at through sheer effort alone. Some people were just born with a knack for it. And Skyler was one of those people, destined for musical greatness, though her family circumstances had often held her back.e2 

Being new to the professional world, Skyler wasn’t sure if the compliments were genuine or just polite flattery, but she took them at face value nonetheless. 

She chuckled, “Most of the players of the game are around my age, and the protagonist is about as old as I am. Maybe it’s because I can empathize with her that I was able to create the lyrics and melodies.” 

“You’re too modest,” Tina reMarced. 

There was a common belief that the youth of today were arrogant and overconfident, and Tina had met her fair share of young people who were all bluster and no substance. The young woman before her was a true talent with a refreshing sense of humility. Tina was quite taken with her. “The others haven’t arrived yet. Shall we chat for a bit?” 

“Sure,” Skyler agreed. 

“What would you like to drink, Miss Free?” 

Skyler brought her own bottled water. “I’ll just drink this.” 

Although Skyler was young, she had talent, and Tina, being someone who valued talent, particularly appreciated young individuals like her. 

Tina went ahead and brewed a cup of coffee herself. “You young ladies seem to enjoy coffee and milkshake. Try this and tell me what you think.” 

“It is great.” Skyler sipped the coffee politely. Truth be told, she had tasted various coffees when accompanying her mother at social events, but to her, all coffee tasted the same-bitter. However, she had long learned to mask her true preferences, and no one could tell her real tastes. 

Tina, however, noticed. “You don’t like it. I’ll get someone to bring you a milkshake instead.” 

“It’s okay, really, Skyler insisted. 

“No, it’s not okay. A good day’s work starts with good food and drink.” Tina called someone to fetch a milkshake for Skyler. 

Skyler observed Tina who seemed to be in her forties, exuding intellect and elegance, with a confident aura in every move she made. 

She too wished to be someone like Tina. 

Could she become like Tina? She didn’t know. But she was determined to try. 

The milkshake, at least, was to Skyler’s liking, and she gratefully took a sip. 

“You look like you’re still in school. Are you from a Conservatory?” Tina inquired. 

Skyler shook her head. “No, I’m studying at Capital College.” 

Not from a Conservatory, yet capable of producing such quality work-it must be natural talent. 

Tina was so keen to keep such a promising talent around. “What a coincidence, our CEO is also a student from your college. When he arrives, I’ll make sure to introduce you properly.” 

“Thank you,” Skyler said with a genuine smile. 

Just then, the secretary announced, “Ms. Tina, Mr. Rivera has arrived.”
