My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 985

Chapter 985 

When the call connected, Skylar spoke directly. 

Joe’s cold voice came through the phone. “I’m almost there.” 

“Really? That quickly?” Skylar was surprised. 

Joe confirmed with a low, distracted sound. Over the phone, it sounded as if Joe was in a bad mood. 

Skylar’s lips twitched slightly. 

Joe and Vera had been together since the afternoon, reminiscing about familiar places from their past. There shouldn’t be any reason for him to be upset. 

She wondered if he was upset because she had made him come pick her up in the middle of the night. 

Skylar felt a bit unsettled as well. She ended the call and turned to Aiken. 

“Mr. Parkinson, could you arrange for someone to pick me up from the hotel tomorrow at 7:00 am?” 

Aiken gave Skylar a thoughtful look before agreeing. “Sure.” 

He then glanced at his watch. “It’s already past 1:00 am. Why don’t you and Mr. Martin stay here for the night? It’s more convenient.” 

It was clear from the call that Skylar and Joe hadn’t been very cheerful. As Skylar was about to respond, there were noises outside the villa.. 

Aiken looked out and said, “Mr. Martin’s here.” 

“Alright, see you tomorrow.” Skylar thought about the clothes and essentials she had left at the hotel and knew it would be inconvenient to stay here. 

As she stepped out of the villa, she saw Joe leaning against his car, his long legs standing out. 

When he noticed Skylar approaching, Joe looked over at her. Under the streetlights, his eyes appeared even more enigmatic, revealing no clear emotions. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking. 

However, it was clear that he wasn’t in a good mood. His entire presence seemed to radiate a cold, distant energy. 

When he noticed Aiken, his gaze darkened further. 

Walking up to the car, Skylar turned to Aiken and said, “See you tomorrow.” 

Aiken nodded. “Thanks for your help tonight. See you tomorrow.” 

He then turned to Joe. “Sorry to bother you.” 

Joe pressed his lips together and offered a faint smile. “It’s nothing.” 

On the drive back to the hotel, the atmosphere between Skylar and Joe was unusually tense. The driver sensed the discomfort, glancing at them through the rearview mirror but avoiding staring too obviously. Skylar felt somewhat exhausted and didn’t want to put herself in an awkward position. She figured Joe’s bad mood was likely due to Vera, so she leaned back and fell asleep in the seat. 

Seeing Skylar asleep soundly, Joe’s face immediately tensed, and his lips were pressed tightly. 

Joe thought, “See him tomorrow?”
