Gloria noticed Skylar and Joe exchanging glances.
When Gloria realized how late it was, she urged them, “It’s getting late. You two should go upstairs and get some rest. I’m feeling tired myself.”
When she tried on clothes earlier, Edgar mentioned how the two seemed to have developed feelings for
each other. Gloria had some doubts at first. But seeing how Joe looked at Skylar, there was something
unusual about it.
Gloria noticed traces of affection.
Sharing a bed at their age was bound to create a certain intimacy. Would their connection remain truly
platonic?
This was the time for desires to heighten, and it would seem a waste if nothing happened after spending
the night together.
After Skylar and Joe went upstairs, Skylar took a shower first, as usual. When she finished, Joe went in for
his turn.
It was awkward for them to share the same bed.
Skylar checked her Amazon store after lying down like she usually would her nightly routine. Orders had been pouring these past two days, likely due to positive word–of–mouth.
Her store was making thousands of dollars in just a day.
She could consider making a down payment for a house soon. Then, Janine and her brothers could move
Skylar thought of how they could live under a roof as a family in the future–having meals together and waiting for her brothers to start their own families.
Thinking about these made her feel happy.
Joe emerged from the bathroom and saw Skylar smiling brightly. He wondered what had made her so happy
“Feeling happy?” Joe asked.
Skylar nodded happily and showed him her phone screen. “This is my online store. It’s been making me
thousands of dollars recently.”
After a while, she could sell some of the genuine antiques she bought. This could prevent many antique
lovers from being cheated.
“That’s great. Congratulations.”
He seemed to be influenced by Skylar’s happiness. In his loungewear and after showering, he appeared less stern and more pure.

Skylar was also more relaxed and said, “You’ve been busy these days, and I haven’t had the chance to treat you to a meal. When you have time, let me know two hours in advance. I’ll prepare a sumptuous.
dinner for you at home.”
She almost forgot about it until she thought of paying the down payment for a house, which led her to the memory of depositing millions of dollars in the bank a few days ago.

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....
