Chapter 414
Skylar hurried into the car, anxious to avoid being seen by her colleagues. “Let’s go,” she told Lucas once she was settled.
Joe raised an eyebrow, noticing Skylar’s eagerness to leave. He wondered what was making her so
anxious.
“What are you hiding from?” Joe asked in a slightly chilly tone.
“I’m worried about being seen by colleagues,” Skylar replied honestly, glancing outside. Relief washed over her when she confirmed no one saw her.
Joe’s expression darkened. “Am I that embarrassing to be seen with?”
His thoughts spiraled. Was being his wife such a disgrace? Was he really so terrible that she had to avoid being seen with him by her colleagues?
Skylar initially didn’t understand his meaning. But she realized he had misunderstood when he said, ” embarrassing to be seen with“.
“It’s not about you,” she clarified. “I just want to avoid the endless questions from my colleagues, which always lead to complicated explanations.”
“Don’t your colleagues know you’re married?” Joe’s expression softened slightly, but his tone remained
cool.
Skylar adjusted her posture and leaned comfortably against the seat. “The people at your company don’t know you’re married either, do they?” Skylar remarked casually.
Skylar pondered the situation, considering who was judging whom.
To the uninformed observer, it might seem like Joe deliberately avoided her, almost as if he were preemptively rejecting her.
Joe fell silent for a moment. He hadn’t considered that point.
Lucas kept his eyes on the road, seemingly oblivious to their conversation. However, a hidden smile played on his lips. He sensed Joe growing to value Skylar, evidenced by his uncharacteristic anger. Yet, neither of them seemed to recognize the other’s feelings.
Unbeknownst to them, Kenny had been watching for hours and witnessed Skylar entering Joe’s car.
“We were completely wrong!” he exclaimed in shock. “We never considered Skylar because we thought
she wasn’t good enough for Joe, and that he wouldn’t be interested in someone from the countryside. But
it seems the most unexpected scenario is true! This could be our company’s big break!”
Meanwhile, doubt had taken root, and Natalie hadn’t contacted Jeremy in days. Work offered a welcome
escape from the turmoil in her mind.

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....
