My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1000

Chapter 1000 

Vera seemed to notice Skylar’s gaze and quickly hid her hand under the table, letting her wide sleeves Cover her fingers. Her heart sank at that moment. 

How could she forget about the ring? 

The moment she saw Skylar, she should have taken it off. 

Did Skylar notice it? No, she was wearing more than one ring, including one on her index finger. So, it might not have stood out too much. 

“It’s okay. I already have plans,” Skylar directly declined, shifting her gaze away from Vera’s hand. 

Vera had moved her hand too quickly for Skylar to take a good look, but it seemed like she was wearing an emerald ring, which looked old and somewhat familjar. 

However, most emerald rings looked similar, and since Skylar had only caught a glimpse, she couldn’t 

make out the details. 

Vera didn’t seem upset about Skylar’s refusal. Instead, she turned to Joe and said, “What about you, Joe? Do you have plans today?”

Skylar had heard enough and decided to walk away. As she left, she heard Joe say, “I already have plans with her. Weren’t you feeling unwell yesterday? Get some rest.” 

Vera didn’t seem satisfied with Joe’s response. “I sent you a few messages yesterday, but you didn’t reply. Were you really busy?” she asked, revealing the ring again since Skylar was no longer around. 

Molly had told her that the ring had to appear frequently in front of Joe for it to be effective. 

Joe just glanced at her and responded with a noncommittal hum. 

“Alright then. I’ll rest at the hotel today. Actually, I really wanted to visit the places we used to go together. But I’ll be returning to Jipsburg in a few days, and I’m not sure when we’ll meet again,” Vera said, her voice filled with hope and longing. 

However, Joe just lowered his gaze and didn’t respond. 

Vera’s heart raced. She wasn’t sure if the ring would work to stop Joe from going out with Skylar. However, she couldn’t push their conversation any further as it would only put her in a passive position. 

Suddenly, Joe stood up and looked down at Vera. “Maybe in a couple of days if there’s time.” 

As he left, he glanced at the ring on her hand. “Nice ring.” 

Vera kept her expression calm and said, “A friend gave it to me. I’m just wearing it for fun.” 

She didn’t expect Joe to pay attention to women’s accessories. 

But as Molly had said, there was nothing wrong with him noticing the ring. He wouldn’t figure anything out. 

In fact, if he looked closely, it would be even better. 

“Are you interested in these accessories?” she asked, lifting her hand slightly to give him a clearer view. 

Joe did look at the ring a bit longer, but his voice was cold and detached when he said, “It might suit Skylar.”
