Chapter 968
There was a knock at the door. Skylar frowned.
Natalie’s expression changed as she went to check who it was. She had expected it to be Jeremy, but to her surprise, it was Helena.
She turned to Skylar and said, “It’s Helena.”
“Isn’t she supposed to be filming? Skylar checked the time. As she and Natalie returned to the hotel,
Helena arrived before they could say more than a few words. This meant that Helena wasn’t filming and had returned with them.
Natalie shook her head. ‘I’m not sure. Let’s see what she wants
With that, she opened the door.
“Ms. Jakeman, I’m sorry to disturb you. I asked the staff at the set and found out you’re staying in this hotel too. I was originally scheduled to shoot two scenes today, but there was a problem, and my scenes have been rescheduled to tomorrow,” Helena said gently.
It seemed like an explanation for why she was at the set.
Natalie was puzzled by Helena’s intention. Even though they were staying at the same hotel, Helena didn’t seem to need to come over and greet her.
They were acquaintances but not quite friends. There didn’t seem to be any need for Helena to make a special effort for such a visit.
Out of courtesy, Natalie replied, “I see.”
Helena noticed Natalie’s lack of enthusiasm and smiled warmly. She said, “I don’t have many friends here. Someone even sent me a birthday cake today. Yes, it’s my birthday. Would you join me for a small birthday celebration, Ms. Jakeman?”
“I might not be able to make it. I have friends here. But happy birthday! Natalie’s sight imitation faded.
It turned out Helena just wanted to invite her to a birthday celebration. However, dining with someone she wasn’t very familiar with could be awkward, and she sometimes felt socially anxious.
Helena seemed to anticipate Natalie’s refusal, so she turned her attention to Skylar, who was inside. “Ms. Sullivan is here too? Maybe both could join me. Celebrating alone in a foreign country is quite lonely.”
“Isn’t Jeremy with you? Natalie asked impulsively.
She immediately regretted the question.
After knowing Jeremy for years, Natalie understood how busy he could get when work called. He might suddenly have had something come up, leaving him unable to spend Helene’s birthday with her.
Helena replied with a hint of resignation, “Mr. Hughes has work. It came up unexpectedly.*
At this point, it seemed difficult to refuse.
Besides, it was hard to turn someone down when they were being so polite. From the moment Hellena knocked on the door, her attitude had been nothing but pleasant,
Natalie turned to Skylar. “Shall we join Ms. Hart for her birthday celebration?”
Skylar sighed inwardly. Natalie was truly kind–hearted, agreeing to celebrate the birthday of her ex- husband’s current partner. Even in fiction, something like this was rarely written.

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....
