My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul

Joe was still clad in the same suit Skylar had seen him wear outside the restaurant.

Under the dim light from her phone, his features looked sharp and defined, lending him a mysterious and

aloof air.

Skylar paused on his face for a moment. Then, she changed her shoes and walked toward the couch.

Unable to see clearly in the darkness, she accidentally stepped on something with her left foot and f

backward.

“Ah!”

Joe happened to be right behind her. Upon hearing her scream, he instinctively took a long stride forward

and reached out to steady Skylar.

They were very close to each other.

Skylar’s face was almost pressed against Joe’s chest.

Even through the fabric of his shirt and suit, she could feel the muscular contours beneath. His powerful

heartbeat resonated in her ears as well.

Her mind went blank for a moment.

When Joe came to his senses, his entire body tensed up. His arm had unintentionally pressed against Skylar’s shoulder. Feeling the warmth of her skin through several layers of clothing, his arm felt numb

His other arm, which had caught her, happened to land on her slim waist. She was so slender that her waist could be held with just two hands.

The room was very dark, but it felt like they could see each other’s eyes when their gazes met.

Joe’s gaze deepened. Almost involuntarily, he began to lower his head.

Just as his lips were about to touch hers, Skylar’s phone suddenly rang.

In the silence of the villa, the ringtone was particularly loud, snapping both of them back to reality.

Joe glanced at Skylar’s phone and noticed the caller ID–it was Christopher. At once, he released her and adjusted his tie.

“Your phone is ringing,” he said in a slightly lower tone.

Seeing that it was Christopher calling, Skylar immediately declined the call.

Had

Christopher not given up even after that beating she gave him in the parking lot?

“Are you not going to answer?” Joe walked past Skylar and sat on the couch. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“What?” Skylar was a bit distracted and didn’t hear what Joe had said. His voice sounded colder and deeper than before.

As she recalled what had happened before, she wondered if he was going to kiss her

Instantly, she dismissed the thought and told herself not to overthink

“Are you not going to answer Christopher’s call? Joe felt a tightness in his chest, a sensation he couldnt quite place. When he asked again, his tone was even colder than before.

Skylar was about to speak when her phone rang again. It was still Christopher calling, so she declined the

call.

But right after she did that, she received another call.

As she was about to block Christopher’s number, she saw that it was Charles calling. Turning to Joe, she said, “I’ll take this call first.”

As she headed upstairs, she answered the call. The staircase was even darker, so she climbed carefully.

“Skye, is what they’re saying online true? Has Christopher cheated on you? Charles asked urgently.

“Wait, Charles. I’ll talk to you later,” Skylar said.

On the couch, Joe watched Skylar go upstairs with a frown.

Did she believe the Williams family’s denial and thought Christopher hadn’t cheated? It seemed she still had feelings for Christopher.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have seemed so distracted and reluctant when she declined the call.
