My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408 

Natalie didn’t think Annabelle was Jeremy’s type. During their movie or TV nights, Jeremy never seemed interested in actresses who looked like Annabelle. Moreover, Jeremy wasn’t one to pursue someone readily available; he seemed to prefer more challenging pursuits. 

Skylar didn’t dwell on it. She just had a nagging suspicion. Ultimately, she trusted Jeremy’s character and their relationship. Besides, their situation was entirely different from hers and Christopher’s. Furthermore, Jeremy and Natalie were familiar faces to each other’s families. 

At that moment, Annabelle was carrying several shopping bags filled with newly purchased clothes. She was on the phone with Jeremy. 

“Mr. Hughes, please don’t do that again like this morning. I slept in until 10:00 am, and my back is killing me,” she said in a soft, flirtatious voice. 

A passerby overheard her conversation, his eyes widening in shock. Was this something meant for his ears? 

The passerby couldn’t help but be captivated by her stunning figure. Annabelle possessed the kind of beauty that left him almost dizzy. If things went further, he knew he wouldn’t be able to resist. 

Annabelle noticed the man staring at her with lust after ending the call. 

A disdainful smile played across her lips as she pondered how an ordinary man like him could dare to think such thoughts about her. How audacious! 

The man scoffed at her disdainful look. “Mr. Hughes, huh? You’re probably just his little plaything! What’s with the act?” 

Annabelle bristled at his mocking tone. “You!” 

The man leered. “What’s the matter? Are you trying to seduce me now? You’re a looker, I’ll give you that. Beg me nicely, and maybe I’ll consider spending the night.” 

With that vulgar remark, the man disappeared, leaving Annabelle fuming. His words struck a deep chord, echoing the truth she desperately tried to ignore. 

She was indeed a plaything to Jeremy.
