My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul



Zera said, "Hello?"

"It's nothing," Skylar said quickly and hung up the phone.

On the other end, Zera blinked at the phone that had just been disconnected.

The call had been from Skylar. That name sounded familiar to her.

She suddenly realized that Skylar was Charles' sister, the wife of Joe Martin, the CEO of Martin Group. Then she wondered what Skylar would want with Aiken.

As she was still pondering this, Aiken returned from the bathroom. He had just gone to the restroom and didn't take his phone with him.

Today, he had accompanied her to watch a movie. After the movie, they stayed in the lobby to relax for a while. While Aiken was in the restroom, she was scrolling through reviews on a fan platform.

The movie was one in which Charles starred, and Zera played the third supporting female role. She didn't have much screen time, but she believed she had put in the effort and performed well.

However, to her frustration, most of the comments online were about Charles and the female lead.

After scrolling through a bunch of comments, she finally found one that mentioned her, but the comment criticized her performance, saying she didn't convey the character's emotions well.

She was furious. She thought to herself, "This person must be a hater! They can't stand how popular I've become this year, so they're purposely trying to bring me down!"

Just then, Aiken's phone rang. At first, she didn't know who it was, thinking it might be Wendy. But when she realized it was Skylar, she felt relieved.

"I took a call for you earlier. I wasn't sure if it was urgent, so I answered it. She said it was nothing important. It was Skylar who called," she told Aiken. As soon as Aiken heard Skylar's name, he immediately took the phone from her.

"Are you mad that I took your call? I didn't think about it at the time. I'm sorry, I won't do it again," Zera apologized sweetly.

Aiken's expression softened. "It's fine. Let's go."

After they got into the car, Aiken asked the driver, Wilbur Dickinson, to take Zera home first.

After hearing Aiken's instructions,

heavy with discomfort. She

wondered why he didn't want her to

come to his place, especially since it was already so late.

However, she understood that some things couldn't be forced. Then, she noticed Aiken making a phone call. It was probably to Skylar.

"I was busy earlier," Aiken said as soon as the call was connected.

Zera was a bit surprised. She had never heard Aiken mention knowing Skylar, but the tone of his voice clearly indicated that they were well- acquainted.

Skylar, who was driving, spoke on the other end I met with Wendy about half an hour ago. She didn't look too well—maybe she's been overwhelmed with work lately. Aiken, are you planning to break up with Wendy? Or have you already?"

Suddenly, everything made sense to Skylar. She understood why Wendy seemed so troubled earlier like she had something weighing on her mind.

Aiken paused for a moment, his mind blank as he processed her words. After a few seconds, he replied, "We've had some issues, but I'll handle it. Don't worry, I won't let her get hurt."

"Alright, I've just arrived home. I'll hang up now," Skylar said, understanding that the conversation couldn't continue much longer. Everyone had their own temptations and choices to face.

What Skylar hadn't expected was for Aiken to take this step. She just hoped that whatever decision he made, he wouldn't regret it later.
