After stretching and wrapping up her work, she prepared to leave. On her way out, she ran into Alexander and Caleb.
Caleb seemed a bit flustered when he saw her. "Skylar." "How's your leg healing?" Skylar asked with a smile, glancing at Caleb's leg.
Caleb immediately took a few steps and spun around to show her. "It's m almost fully healed.X can manage a slow pace. Are you getting used to working here? If Grandpa is giving you too much work, you can quit."
Alexander turned and gave Caleb a light smack on the head. "What m nonsense are you talking about? Do I look like someone who exploits my employees?"
