My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul



Rosa enjoyed the feeling of being complimented. However, today's gathering to celebrate Nicole's birthday was filled with people from the same social class, and both she and Joe were considered newcomers.

While everyone was curious about them, no compliments were exchanged.

Strangely, Joe's presence naturally commanded respect. Even though he came from humble beginnings, his unique presence made it hard for anyone to overlook him no matter where he stood.

In contrast, she felt that people viewed her as someone who had shared in Joe's struggles. His rise to success without abandoning her made her existence a testament to his loyalty, which made it easier for others to consider collaborating with him.

Under the envious gazes of many young women, her vanity found its greatest satisfaction. Yet, her eyelids had been twitching all day. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was about to happen.

This was their first visit to the Neal family's mansion, and she didn't know where the restroom was located. The thought made her chuckle self- deprecatingly.

She had been too anxious lately. This was Murida, while Skylar was still far away in Jipsburg.

They belonged in entirely different social circles, and even if Skylar had her doubts, there was no evidence to back them up.

The bond they had built over the past three years was no illusion. Everyone she knew acknowledged her. She and Joe were just one marriage certificate away from making it official.

Alas, Rosa couldn't ignore the urge any longer and decided to head to the restroom.

...

Suddenly, Joe grabbed Skylar and led her away. They ended up near an orchard, a secluded area where no one was around.

Once they reached a tree, she finally regained her senses. She hadn't expected Joe to come looking for her.

Skylar looked at Joe with surprise and even a hint of joy. "You..."novelbin

"Do you know where this place is? How did you manage to sneak in?" Joe furrowed his brow, asking in a serious tone.

Skylar was taken aback by his question. "I know exactly where I am, and I didn't sneak in."

It dawned on her that he had brought her here because he was worried about her being caught for entering without an invitation.

She was aware of the consequences

of crashing an event like this without

a proper invite. Yet, she hadn't.

expected Joe to care so much. It

seemed he had some level of trust

in her.

If he suspected her of having ulterior motives, he wouldn't have bothered to check on her well-being. Even without his memories, Joe was still incredibly perceptive.

Seeing that Skylar appeared calm

and collected, with no signs of panic, Joe realized that his earlier concern might have been unwarranted. Just as he was about to turn and leave, Skylar suddenly grasped his hand.

She looked down at his hand, feeling the familiar warmth that had the power to soothe anyone's heart. Joe's body stiffened.

As he glanced down at their now intertwined hands, he felt an overwhelming urge to pull her into his embrace and tease her mercilessly. He swallowed hard.

He struggled to rein in the overwhelming desire that threatened to unravel his composure.

"Are you worried about me?" Skylar asked.

Joe momentarily felt disoriented, as if Skylar was playfully teasing him.

The sensation made his heart race uncontrollably, but reason quickly brought him back to reality. "I'm just worried that you might get us into trouble if you act recklessly.
