Chapter 609
As Natalie entered her apartment, Austin called.
“Mr. Powell,” Natalie answered, realizing her voice was hoarse as soon as she spoke. She had been crying on the way home, and her throat was sore.
Hearing her raspy voice, Austin furrowed his brow. He sensed she had been through something difficult today.
“Have you been crying?” Austin asked gently.
Natalie suddenly felt like she couldn’t hold it together
anymore. Her eyes welled up with tears. She didn’t want her problems to affect Austin any further. She had already felt sorry for today.
“No, it’s probably just a cold. I’m fine. I took some medicine and I’m feeling drowsy. I’m going to sleep now. Don’t worry about me, Mr. Powell,” Natalie said.
Austin was silent for a few moments before responding. “Rest well. If you need anything, call me. Don’t push yourself too
hard.”
Upon hearing this, Natalie’s nose tingled with emotion as she whispered, “Okay.”
Alone in her apartment, self–doubt consumed her. She couldn’t understand why life played such a cruel joke on her. It wasn’t funny at all.
A piping hot stew with a sweet cake was served in a cozy
restaurant.
The atmosphere was perfect. Joe’s gaze lingered on the hand holding a glass of water. The ring on his index finger radiated
a subtle warmth.
Across from him, Skylar was enjoying the cake. Her lips were smeared with cream.
Joe stood up and gently wiped the cream from her lips with a napkin. “Is it good?” he asked.
Skylar was taken aback. She stared at Joe in surprise.
“It’s delicious,” she said. The cake she chose was delicious Unfortunately, Joe wasn’t fond of sweet treats or rich flavors, so he only had a small piece of cake. However, he had enjoyed the stew with its vegetable base.
“That’s good to hear. Enjoy it,” Joe said. His voice was incredibly gentle, and it had the kind of warmth that could completely soften a person’s heart.
Skylar’s heart fluttered slightly as she replied, “I will.”
Joe returned to his seat and noticed a large bag on the table next to Skylar. He wondered if there was another surprise.
In a nearby private foom, Charles was distracted. The group animatedly discussed their latest film and their roles within it. Everyone shared their interpretations of the play and their characters.
3/3
Normally, Charles would have engaged fully in such situations. After all, he took acting very seriously.
He always meticulously analyzed each role and offered his insights and interpretations. But tonight, he hadn’t said a word.

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....
