My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 404

Restless and frustrated, Joe lit a cigarette. A few drags didn’t ease his agitation

He glanced at his chat with Skylar on his phone. Was she truly happy living at Pearlhall Residence? She had yet to send a single message or call him. He took a few more drags and dialed her number. However, it wasn’t Skylar who took his call

Hello, this is Caleb Gardner, Skylar’s assistant,Caleb said, surprised to see Partnerdisplayed on the caller ID

Caleb pondered whether Skylar was engaged in a business venture with someone

My Joe insured hea voice laced with suspicion 

Joe’s voice, a deep, menacing rumble, sent a jolt of terror through the phone and straight down Caleb’s 

ne, leaving him trembling 

Yes, I’m Skylar’s assistant. She’s currently unavailable and can’t take your call. Please let me know if I can help you with anything. ITI pass the message along” 

Joe’s expression hardened as he listened to Caleb’s voice. He bristled at the thought of a male assistant, especially one who sounded so young

Tell her to call me when she’s free,Joe said curtly before hanging up

Caleb blinked, confused. Who could that have been? Despite the icy tone, the caller seemed close to Skylar

He approached Skylar, who was engrossed in work

Who was it?” Skylar asked

Someone named Partnercalled, Caleb said. He said to have you call him back when you’re free. Are you in business with someone?” 

Hearing Partner piqued Skylar’s curiosity about Joe’s reason for calling

Nonetheless, Caleb’s casual mention of Partnersent a jolt through her. Hadn’t she, on a whim, renamed Joe’s contact to Partner? She saw their relationship fitting that label. However, she hadn’t anticipated Joe calling while she was busy, and Caleb stepping in to answer had led to the misunderstanding

She smiled. That’s my husband.” 

Skylar’s revelation caught Caleb off guard, the realization hitting him hard. When he thought about Skylar being another man’s wife, a pang of dissatisfaction settled in his gut. He wondered if this man deserved her and if he treated her well

So, that was your husband,Caleb said, attempting nonchalance

Skylar hummed in acknowledgment. She quickly finished her work and called Joe back

I was busy with work just now. Did you need something?” Skylar asked

Joe’s response was sharp. Can’t I call without needing something?”
