My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul



Stephen furrowed his brow. Simona had become much harder to fool than before.

Despite everything he had said, she still maintained a rather indifferent demeanor. "We just finalized the location. We're in the process of hiring staff and renovating the office space," he replied.novelbin

Simona suddenly noticed that Stephen hadn't made eye contact with her while saying this.

It seemed like Stephen disliked making eye contact. They rarely locked eyes when they spoke.

She wondered how she had never noticed this before. Then it hit her. She had noticed it in the past but had dismissed it, believing his explanation that he was simply shy.

"Can't you take me to see it?" she asked.

Stephen hesitated for a moment before finally meeting Simona's gaze. Their eyes locked.

Simona sensed an inquisitive look in Stephen's eyes. He seemed to be trying to figure out what she was thinking. Her heart skipped a beat when she realized that.

"Of course, I'll let my boss know. I'll take you to see it in the next couple of days, but it might be a bit messy since the renovation is still going on, and there's dust everywhere," Stephen said.

Simona lowered her head, lost in thought, and absentmindedly replied, "I just remembered that my brother asked me to come home for lunch, so I should head back. Let's keep in touch on WhatsApp."

During his lunch break, the two of them grabbed a bite to eat at the mall.

Caleb regarded Simona thoughtfully

and said, "You're not just here for a simple meal, are you? You must have something on your mind. We've known each other for years, so there's no need for pretense. Just say what you need to say

Simona rolled her eyes. "Why do you have to be so annoying?"

"While I may be annoying, at least I'm sincere and a good friend. Otherwise, why would you come to me when you need help?" Caleb shot her a playful glare.

He really wanted to add that while

he could be annoying, at least he was sincere. Unlike Simona's boyfriend, Stephen, who presented himself as a charming, handsome college student but might be

be

involved with all sorts of unsavory

characters behind her back.

There was even a chance he had picked up something nasty along the way. If he did, he should at least wait until after he broke up with Simona.

Simona truly found Caleb's words obnoxious, but she knew that when she needed someone she could trust, she could count on him.

She said directly, "Caleb, I think Stephen is hiding something from me."

Caleb's eyes widened in surprise. "You..."
