Even Joe was surprised. Skylar easily made him lose control and drove him mad. He couldn’t calm down
for hours afterward.
Skylar hid in the bathroom after they were done.
During breakfast, she couldn’t even look at Joe.
After finishing breakfast, she took her bag and said to Joe, “I’m going to work now.”
“I’ll drive you,” replied Joe.
His voice was still hoarse from their antics in the morning. It was low and sexy.
Skylar’s heart skipped a beat, “That won’t be necessary. I’ll drive myself.”
Joe asked, “Can you even step on the gas?”
Skylar took two steps forward. It felt like she was stepping on lava. She turned back and glared at Joe,”
It’s all your fault.”
It was his fault for doing all those things to her.
“That’s why I’m trying to take responsibility for it. Give me three minutes,” Joe said. He was bursting with
glee.
A few minutes later, Skylar was sat in Joe’s car.
Lucas had been waiting for them outside.
Thanks to Lucas, Skylar did not have to be alone with Joe, which would have been awkward.
Joe interlocked their fingers after getting in. His palm was warm, while hers was slightly clammy.
Gradually, she warmed up too.
Skylar’s heart was racing. Her feelings were spiraling out of control.
Joe furrowed his brows and asked softly, “Why are your hands still so cold?”
Skylar looked at him.
Although he was expressing concern, his unaffected expression seemed to be a testament to their
emotional distance. Her heart, which had been pounding for him moments before, stilled.
“Your hands are too warm,” Skylar explained.
Joe placed his other hand over hers. This position imprisoned Skylar between his arms.
His embrace was as warm as his palms. It was as though she’d feel cared for and protected whenever
she was in his arms. She’d be under the illusion that he’d fallen in love with her.
Skylar looked down in silence.

Joe thought Skylar’s silence was due to exhaustion from their morning activities. He did not continue the conversation, but he hugged Skylar tighter.

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....
