Annie stared blankly at Steven, who stood outside the elevator. For a moment, she didn’t register what her assistant, Emma Pierce, was saying and completely forgot to step out of the
elevator.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Emma quickly pressed the button to reopen them. Steven maintained a calm demeanor and slightly turned to the side, allowing Annie and
Emma to exit.
His tranquility helped Annie regain her composure.
“What a coincidence,” she smiled as she spoke. Steven nodded in acknowledgment.
Noticing his indifferent expression, Annie’s smile faltered, becoming somewhat stiff. Emma nudged her to walk out.
Taking a deep breath, she stepped outside.
After exiting, Annie couldn’t help but glance back at Steven in the elevator. He didn’t look at her. His expression was as cold as ever, causing a sharp pain in her chest.
Over the past few years, she had mostly stayed in Jipsburg City. Occasionally, she would travel for work to other places. During that time, she had encountered Steven and sometimes bumped into him at various events.

Mona was so ordinary. Annie couldn’t understand why Steven liked her. Whenever Annie tried to reach out, he would ignore her completely.
“Ms. Silver, it’s time for us to go,” Emma reminded her.
Only then did Annie snap back to reality, realizing that the elevator doors had closed behind
her without a trace of hesitation.
The person she once cared so much about had already left without a word, completely cutting
her off.
Annie chuckled self–deprecatingly. The Silver family had finally regained their former glory, and she had a greater earning potential than many celebrities. Yet, Steven was a man she had completely lost. She couldn’t accept it.
“Let me ask you something. If you made a mistake and accidentally lost the most important thing to you, and one day you suddenly realized your mistake, what would you do?” she asked

Emma, a freshly graduated college student, didn’t think much before replying directly, “of course, I’d do everything I could to get it back. It was just a mistake, right?
“It’s not like you committed some unforgivable crime like murder. If it were me, I would shamelessly try to recover it because it ultimately belongs to me.”

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....
