Chapter 296
However, when Skylar noticed Joe looking at her, she asked him out of politeness.
Joe’s eyes flickered slightly, and he closed the book in his hand. “I have a video conference in an hour. Maybe next time,” he replied with an expected answer.
Skylar nodded with a smile. “Okay, I’m leaving then.”
“Wait.”
Skylar stopped again, feeling a bit puzzled.
Why did Joe seem reluctant to let her go? It was unusual.
“Anything else?” she asked.
Joe set the book down and walked over, his long legs covering the distance quickly. The height difference caused him to lower his head to look at her.
The way he looked at her, it almost seemed like he was gazing at her affectionately.
“You…” Joe’s gaze dropped to her collarbone. “Are you sure you want to visit your family with that?”
Following his gaze, Skylar looked down and instantly blushed. “I didn’t notice.”
Last night, Joe had been unable to restrain himself again and left hickeys on her skin. Anyone would be able to tell what they had been to.

If she were to say it was an allergy or a mosquito bite, no one would believe her.
Skylar hurried upstairs to change into clothes that could cover the hickeys on her collarbone. When she returned downstairs, she confronted Joe, “Next time, can you
try not to leave marks?”
If she had gone to work with these hickeys visible, she wouldn’t know how to explain
if her colleagues were to spot them.
Joe smirked. “Can’t promise about what happens in bed. I’ll try my best.”
He seemed unfazed, which made Skylar unsure of what else to say.

In bed, he was like a beast, but once he got out of it, he was well–dressed and proper. There was no way to connect those two as the same person.
At the thought of last night, Skylar didn’t dare to dwell any further and quickly ran out.
Seeing Skylar flee in apparent embarrassment, Joe chuckled.
Was she shy?
She didn’t seem shy when she bit him on the shoulder last night. The little teeth marks on his shoulder were still visible even now.
Janine was especially happy and excited because of the family gathering.

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....
