My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul



After Caleb hung up, he realized Skylar was still there.

He guessed she must have overheard his phone conversation with Simona. Well, it wasn't something he needed to hide.

He smiled at Skylar immediately and said, "I was just on the phone with Simona. She suspects her brother is dating her high school classmate and asked me to investigate."

Skylar smiled and nodded. "Yes, I heard. Since your date's canceled, how about we grab lunch together?"

It had been a while since she had last contacted Simona and Aiken. Everyone's lives had been changing recently, and things seemed to be heading in a positive direction.

"Great! I just got stood up and was about to order takeout. Honestly, I'm so sick of takeout-I've eaten everything there is to eat around here." Caleb wasn't exaggerating. Sometimes, he would stay late after work to study and would have to order dinner from nearby restaurants.

He probably knew better than anyone what was good and what wasn't around the area.

"Let's go."

"Okay!"

After hanging up, Simona thought about it and decided to call her brother directly. Having Caleb dig around didn't seem to be yielding much anyway. Wendy was always sharp, and if things went sideways, it could end up being a big joke. It was better to just get a straight answer from her brother. The phone rang for a long time, and just when Simona thought Aiken wouldn't pick up, he finally answered.

"Simona?" His voice was low, like he was deliberately trying to control his breathing. It sounded unfamiliar to Simona.

She blinked and asked, "Aiken... what are you doing?"

Why did it feel like he was up to no good?

Aiken's voice remained low. "What is it?"

The more direct he was, the more

suspicious it seemed to Simona et

The background was very quiet, but she thought she could faintly hear some rustling sounds.

It sounded like... someone putting on clothes?

Her guard immediately went up.

"Aiken, you haven't called me in ages. Have you started dating someone and forgot you still have a little sister?"

Aiken replied, "I've been busy. I've arranged bodyguards for you over there. They'll let me know if anything happens."

Simona's mouth twitched. She had

realized two years ago that her

brother had secretly assigned

people to protect her, worried that

she'd be bullied while abroad

In reality, she spent her days studying, surrounded by familiar classmates-what danger could there be?

Still, she didn't say anything. If

et

having people protect her eased her brother's mind and allowed him to focus on his work back home, she didn't mind.

But what was he implying now? Was he denying that he was dating someone?noveldrama

She was starting to feel confused. What was going on between her brother and Wendy? What was their relationship now?
