My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul



"Skylar? Are you feeling unwell?" Lizzie asked with concern when she noticed Skylar frowning.

Muriel chimed in, "Is it the restaurant's air conditioning? Maybe it's too cold for you?"

Skylar looked away and reassured them. "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just spotted someone I know. You two keep chatting. I'll go check it out." After explaining herself to Lizzie and Muriel, she stood up and walked toward Simona and Stephen.

The couple was deep in conversation, and Simona looked particularly cheerful, laughing brightly.

"Simona," Skylar called out, causing both Simona and Stephen to pause in surprise. Simona's eyes widened in disbelief upon seeing Skylar. "Skylar?" Simona exclaimed.

Stephen was unfamiliar with Skylar. He had only heard Simona mention her before. He recalled Simona saying that Skylar was exceptionally beautiful, even more so than the female celebrities on the screen. At that time, he thought Simona might have been exaggerating.

He had seen plenty of female celebrities who had box-office hits and dedicated fanbases, and they were all stunning in their own right. Simona was also beautiful and certainly stood out among those female celebrities.

But now, looking at Skylar, he felt almost mesmerized.

Stephen was taken aback as he realized Simona's words weren't an exaggeration at all.

"Um, is this... your friend?" Skylar asked, discreetly assessing Stephen.

From his appearance, he definitely seemed like someone who would be popular with the girls in college. His eyes were constantly shifting as he looked at her, almost as if he was calculating something.

Moreover, something about Stephen felt off, almost like a negative energy.

"He... is my boyfriend, Stephen Pearce," Simona introduced, a hint of guilt in her tone. She felt she had no choice but to introduce him since they had run into each other by coincidence.

She remembered only a few months ago when she had confided in Skylar about her breakup with Stephen. Now that they were back together, she wasn't sure how to explain it to Skylar.

Skylar offered a faint smile. "Stephen."

Stephen immediately stood up and reached out his hand. "Hi, I've heard a lot about you from Simona. She mentioned you're someone she trusts. I didn't expect to run into you here."

Skylar glanced down at Stephen's hand. The negative energy surrounding his hand was even more intense. It seemed he often had contact with the negative items. He was definitely tied to them.

Sensing the potential awkwardness, Simona quickly took Stephen's hand and asked Skylar, "Are you here with friends today, Skylar?"

"Yeah, I came with some friends. I won't interrupt you two," Skylar replied softly, giving a slight nod before returning to her seat with Lizzie and Muriel. Once seated, she observed Simona and Stephen with a thoughtful look.

Meanwhile, Stephen felt a bit displeased that Skylar hadn't shaken his hand. "Does she not like that I'm your boyfriend? I tried greeting her, but she didn't even look my way."

It was clear to him that Skylar was wealthy, far surpassing Rosa in that regard. He had intentionally

distanced himself from Rosa lately. Spending too much time with Ker made him feel she was rather superficial.

Simona quickly interjected, "Maybe

it's because of those trending news articles about you from a few

months ago. A lot has happened since then, and I haven't had the chance to talk to her about us Skylar is a really great person, and you'll understand that soon."

For some reason, over the past few months, she and Stephen had been secretly together again. She hadn't thought much of it until now, but seeing Skylar made her feel an unexpected discomfort in her chest.novelbin

It felt as if she shouldn't still be with Stephen. Yet, for reasons she couldn't fully understand, she liked him and believed in his innocence Stephen, too, wanted no ties to anyone from his past. His previous experiences and the present were worlds apart.

"Is that so? You've only mentioned her as your good friend, but you never mentioned what she does for a living. What's her profession?" Stephen asked.
