My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul



Simona was somewhat absent-minded, so whatever Stephen asked, she just answered. "Skylar is an antique restorer. She runs her own company and is really impressive. I admire her so much. She can spot any counterfeit that comes her way."

Hearing Simona talk about Skylar stirred something within Stephen. He thought of the negative item he was wearing and considered that if it could help him win Simona back, then surely it could help him attract other women as well.

Simona didn't notice the change in Stephen's expression. Even if she had, she wouldn't suspect him of any ill intent.

After Skylar, Lizzie, and Muriel left the restaurant, Skylar called Aiken from inside her car. Aiken was somewhat surprised to receive the call.

Over the past few months, Skylar had gone through a lot, and with her busy work schedule, they hadn't had many opportunities to talk. They only called each other when there were important matters that required help.novelbin

"Are you busy?" Skylar asked.

"Not at all," Aiken replied. He was never busy when she called.

Skylar recounted her encounter with Stephen and Simona at the restaurant.

After hearing her words, he fell silent for a minute, and then his tone grew serious. "I've been neglecting things lately. Simona has been staying at school, rarely coming home, claiming she's busy preparing for graduate school entrance exams.

"I didn't realize she had gotten involved with Stephen again. But Simona isn't naïve. She had already seen through his true nature. How could she get back together with him?"

This point left Aiken perplexed, but since Skylar had witnessed it, he knew it must be true.

"Stephen has a negative energy around him. He must be using the negative item to win Simona back. Let me think about how to deal with this. I'll reach out to you in the next couple of days once I've figured it out.

"Don't act rashly for now. Simona being with Stephen again is likely beyond her control," Skylar advised, concern evident in her voice.

Aiken recognized the gravity of the situation. "Alright, I got it. Thank you for handling this," he said.

Skylar assured him it was no trouble before ending the call.

Just as she was about to start the was

car and leave, she spotted Simona and Stephen walking out of the restaurant. The two were close, fingers intertwined, clearly

displaying the affectionate behavior of a young couple in love.

Their eyes fixed solely on one another. After leaving, they got into a cab and quickly disappeared from view. Skylar frowned and averted her gaze.

It was just as Kevin had said. Negative items were everywhere in the world, and countless people sought to use them to achieve their goals.

Now, it was clear to her that these people could lose control over their thoughts under the influence of negative items. That was why one misstep could lead to another.

Skylar returned home early and began preparing dinner. Joe had mentioned an hour earlier that he would be home on time.

She decided to keep it simple for dinner, cooking two dishes-grilled chicken and steamed broccoli.

Once everything was ready, she

The woman had long, wavy hair that fell to her waist, and her perfectly slim waist made her look even more enchanting beside Joe. Joe's expression was not visible in the photo.
