Richest Mogul

Jeremy’s face fell. Clearly, running into Skylar and Joe was a surprise.

“What a coincidence, eh?” started Jeremy.

Joe hummed in response.

Skylar was stunned by the situation. Natalie was bewildered by Skylar’s sudden silence. She chirped, Skye, why have you gone silent? Is your line breaking up? No matter. I know where the boutique you mentioned is. Give me two minutes and I’ll be with you!”

Before Skylar could say anything else, Natalie hung up. Skylar was left to listen to the beeping line.

She had no choice but to put her phone away.

In the past, she hadn’t had the chance to get a good look at the woman’s face. Now, she could see her clearly.

She looked like the female lead of a viral coming–of–age drama, Helena Hart. It depicted a love story happening within the walls of a college. Helena played the role of a young, cheery woman. It propelled her to stardom. She was the newest rising star of coming–of–age shows.

Apparently, Helena knew Joe. She asked, “Mr. Martin?”

She followed Joe’s gaze and glanced at Skylar. A sense of danger took over her. Helena didn’t think Skylar was a celebrity. She’d never seen a woman with such blinding beauty in the industry.

Jeremy nodded at Skylar. She woke from her stupor and nodded back at him.

The promoter came back with the pieces packed into neat bags. She said, “Mr. and Mrs. Martin, I’ve packed them up.”

Joe handed her a card. Upon seeing that it was a black card, her eyes lit up. She immediately tapped it to their terminal. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“I’ll look at their pieces,” declared Helena. She was intelligent enough not to dwell on who Skylar was. She hadn’t heard of anyone in the industry who had relations with Joe, not to mention rumors were flying around about Vera and Joe’s impending engagement. However, Skylar definitely wasn’t Vera. Rumors weren’t always true.

In the past, Jeremy had promised he’d never get involved with a sugar baby from the entertainment industry. If he’d kept to that promise, why would he appear before Helena and shower her with the resources from her wildest dreams? She’d even become the ambassador of multiple Hughes Group products.

She had to be sensitive to the situation. If a question was unwelcome, she wouldn’t pose it.

Jeremy approached Joe and Skylar. He asked, “Why don’t we have dinner together?”

Skylar looked over at Joe and waited for his response. Then, she would find a way to refuse his

suggestion.

“No thanks. We’ve just eaten,” replied Joe.

Jeremy was unfazed. He said, “Alright. When you’re free, we can play some basketball together.”

He asked Skylar, “Have you been busy?”

“Things are alright,” said Skylar.

She was thinking about how to prevent Jeremy and Natalie from meeting. In their last meeting in the elevator, the air hummed with awkwardness. Natalie would’ve needed time to make her way over.

Thus, Skylar said, “I just thought of a night cream I forgot to buy. I’ll head over to purchase it. Then, I’ll meet you back here later.”

Joe raised a brow and proposed, “I’ll go with you.”

She was about to turn him down when someone rushed in. She announced, “Skye, I’m here! Aren’t I fast? I can find any boutique in this mall with my eyes closed!

Natalie beamed brightly. She’d become much tanner. Perhaps it was because she’d been spending a lot of time outside. Although she wasn’t as fair as she used to be, she was still glowing.

She was like a mini sun. Her appearance swept away all the darkness. One look at her and Skylar knew she had been doing very well recently. She seemed carefree.
