My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1463

"Skylar? Are you feeling unwell?" Lizzie asked with concern when she noticed Skylar frowning.

Muriel chimed in, "Is it the restaurant's air conditioning? Maybe it's too cold for you?"

Skylar looked away and reassured them. "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just spotted someone I know. You two keep chatting. I'll go check it out."

After explaining herself to Lizzie and Muriel, she stood up and walked toward Simona and Stephen.

The couple was deep in conversation, and Simona looked particularly cheerful, laughing brightly.

"Simona," Skylar called out, causing both Simona and Stephen to pause in surprise. Simona's eyes widened in disbelief upon seeing Skylar.

"Skylar?" Simona exclaimed.

Stephen was unfamiliar with Skylar. He had only heard Simona mention her before. He recalled Simona saying that Skylar was exceptionally beautiful, even more so than the female celebrities on the screen. At that time, he thought Simona might have been exaggerating.

He had seen plenty of female celebrities who had box-office hits and dedicated fanbases, and they were all stunning in their own right. Simona was also beautiful and certainly stood out among those female celebrities.

But now, looking at Skylar, he felt almost mesmerized.

Stephen was taken aback as he realized Simona's words weren't an exaggeration at all.

"Um, is this… your friend?" Skylar asked, discreetly assessing Stephen.

From his appearance, he definitely seemed like someone who would be popular with the girls in college. His eyes were constantly shifting as he looked at her, almost as if he was calculating something.

Moreover, something about Stephen felt off, almost like a negative energy.

Meanwhile, Stephen felt a bit displeased that Skylar hadn't shaken his hand. "Does she not like that I'm your boyfriend? I tried greeting her, but she didn't even look my way."

It was clear to him that Skylar was wealthy, far surpassing Rosa in that regard. He had intentionally distanced himself from Rosa lately. Spending too much time with her made him feel she was rather superficial.

Simona quickly interjected, "Maybe it's because of those trending news articles about you from a few months ago. A lot has happened since then, and I haven't had the chance to talk to her about us. Skylar is a really great person, and you'll understand that soon."

For some reason, over the past few months, she and Stephen had been secretly together again. She hadn't thought much of it until now, but seeing Skylar made her feel an unexpected discomfort in her chest.

It felt as if she shouldn't still be with Stephen. Yet, for reasons she couldn't fully understand, she liked him and believed in his innocence. Stephen, too, wanted no ties to anyone from his past. His previous experiences and the present were worlds apart.

"Is that so? You've only mentioned her as your good friend, but you never mentioned what she does for a living. What's her profession?" Stephen asked.
