She turned to Skylar. "Since you've broken up with Christopher, why don't you work at Martin Group and try to win Joe over? How about becoming his wife? Once you bechis wife, your biological parents will surely regret everything.
"And look at his figure! Among all the men in suits, he stands out the most. I bet he has abs and a well-defined body. Look at those long legs. You're a stunning beauty. With a little charm, you might be able to seduce him." Skylar looked at Natalie, feeling amused. She almost blurted out that she not only knew Joe but was also married to him.
But she had agreed to Joe's request for a covert marriage, so she pretended not to know him.

"How did you figure that out? I wanted to go to the police academy, but my family didn't support mem Then I saw how busy police officers were and realized they probably didn't have much tfor dating.
