She glanced at the bronze artifact's inscriptions.
It seemed to be from the early Augustan period with inscriptions in classical Glorian.
Skylar was captivated. She could see the journey of this artifact. From its creation to its burial with its owner, this artifact was just recently discovered.
She knew Alexander's team was working with the country's archeologists.
Oliver was watching Alexander with admiration. In this industry, Alexander was a legend. Many people were jealous of him for being the legend's assistant. He had learned a lot in his years with Alexander.
Alexander raised his head to find Oliver and Skylar standing there.
He then dropped his tools and walked over with a cheerful smile. "Can you tellwhen the artifact was made?" "During the Augustan period," Skylar replied.
Alexander's eyes lit up. He was once again impressed by Skylar's knowledge. "You're right, Skye. Can you tellwho your mentor is?" "I don't have a mentor. I learned from an elderly lady at home. She had a lot to teach." Skylar was reminded that Viola didn't take her in as her apprentice. She only cared for her like a granddaughter.
Alexander didn't press further. "I'm not sure what you're capable of yet, so I can't assign you to a specific job. I have a painting that my team is reluctant to work on. Would you like to take a look and see if you can restore it?" Oliver's eyes widened. What was going on? Why was Alexander handing Skylar one of the most challenging projects? Skylar was new to the team. She wasn't as experienced yet and was given a difficult task. They finally had a beautiful new member. He hoped Alexander wouldn't scare her away with his unusual way of working.

Oliver was stunned. Even though he wasn't there during Skylar's interview, his colleague's mentioned that she was incredibly skilled. They said she was even more skilled than those who had been with Alexander's team for years.
When he first saw Skylar, he was so captivated by her beauty that he had forgotten about what his colleagues said about her. His colleagues told him not to judge a book by its cover. Yet, he had done it to her.
Alexander was pleased. He knew Caleb had finally done something right. He had good taste in women.
He was ready to have Skylar as his granddaughter-in-law.
It wouldn't matter, even if she couldn't fully restore the painting. She would have ample opportunities to work with various ancient artifacts in his team. He believed she would be an expert in a few years. During lunchtime, Skylar headed to the hospital. X
