Chapter 1026
At the thought of this, Alexander continued, “Skye mentioned her resignation to me, and I agreed. If she decides to come back in the future, I’ll personally invite her back. As for your grandmother, don’t tell her
anything yet.
“The last thing she wants to see is trouble between you and Skye. I’ll let her know I’ve assigned Skye an important task, and she’ll need to leave Jipsburg for a while.”
Joe understood immediately. Skylar definitely had a secret, and Alexander wasn’t going to reveal it. He didn’t press further.
Joe’s fingers lightly tapped the desk after placing his phone aside. Suddenly realizing something, he called Paul. “Call me tomorrow morning at nine sharp.”
The command left Paul a little confused. “Call you? Is there something you need me to remind you about
at nine tomorrow, Mr. Martin?”
“Yes, just say it’s urgent,” Joe replied calmly.
“Huh? Alright,” Paul responded.
After leaving the restaurant, Skylar went straight back to Galaxy Villa.
She had dinner and began packing her things. Since the people from Pearlhall Residence often came over, she couldn’t take everything. She needed to leave some things behind to avoid raising suspicion about her relationship with Joe.
Around 10:00 pm, just as she finished packing, she got a call from Natalie.
“Skye, I’ll be back in Jipsburg next week. Mr. Powell’s filming would end in a couple of days. After the wrap party, we’ll return.” Natalie’s voice was filled with excitement.
Skylar smiled and said, “I’ll give you a proper welcome when you return.”
It was perfect timing. She was planning to meet Natalie before leaving Jipsburg.
Over the next couple of days, Skylar would figure out how to tell Janine and the others the news. For now, she wanted to keep the divorce a secret to avoid any unnecessary concern.
Alexander had introduced her to a job that would take her away from Jipsburg for about six months. It was in Murida. This was her true opportunity to leave Jipsburg behind.
“Hey, why do you sound a little off? Did Joe give you a hard time after you got back?” Natalie’s sharp intuition immediately sensed something unusual.
Skylar smiled, masking the truth. “Do I look like someone easy to bully? Ever since I returned from
Fachington, I’ve had a bit of a cold. My throat’s still sore, and I’m taking medicine for it.”
“Oh, it’s just a cold. There’s been a lot of that going around lately. Take care of yourself. If it gets worse, go see a doctor,” Natalie said, relieved it wasn’t Joe causing trouble.
Skylar reassured her. “It’s nearly gone, don’t worry. I’ll be all set to welcome you back.”
“Great! See you when I get back.”
After Natalie hung up, she was about to put her phone away and get back to work. But then, Kate called

The readers' comments on the novel: My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul
Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
