Richest Mogul

Chapter 606 

Charles had seen Joe before and recognized him as someone who could easily succeed in the entertainment industry. However, he couldn’t shake the feeling that he’d seen Joe in a more personal setting, though the memory eluded him. 

They didn’t know each other, so Charles remained silent. 

“Are you here with the crew?” 

Joe’s unexpected question caught Charles off guard. He widened his eyes and glanced around but saw no one else, confirming that Joe was indeed speaking to him. He belatedly nodded. “Yes.” 

He had heard that Joe was hard to approach. It seemed 

strange for someone who was supposedly difficult to talk to to initiate a conversation with a stranger. 

Charles wondered if Joe followed shows. He didn’t seem like the type to be a fan of TV series. Charles had also heard rumors that Joe had no woman around him and sent away those who approached him. Could it be… 

The thought of Joe’s rumored aversion to women caused goosebumps to prickle his skin. He rubbed his arm, glancing at the screen. Why was it taking so long to reach the sixth floor? 

Joe, used to seeing others fear him, assumed that Charles was afraid of him. Given that Charles was Skylar’s brother, he subtly softened his demeanor. “ll cover the bill for your table.” 

Charles‘ eyes widened in shock, and he averted his gaze from Joe, his goosebumps prickling even more. 

Joe was a major figure in Jipsburg City, someone he couldn’t afford to offend. If he couldn’t provoke him, he should at least avoid him. 

He said, “Oh, no. That’s not necessary. We’re being treated by the male lead actor today. I can’t take the spotlight away. But thank you.” 

After Charles awkwardly said “thank you“, the elevator arrived at his floor. As soon as the elevator doors opened, he darted out. 

Joe raised an eyebrow, puzzled by his actions. He wondered if he was really that intimidating. He made a mental note to ask Skylar about how Charles had broken into the entertainment. industry. He looked like a frightened mouse whenever he saw 

him. 

Joe made his way to the private room. When he opened the door, the sight inside stopped him in his tracks. 

“Happy birthday!” Skylar greeted him with a radiant smile. ” Surprised? Didn’t expect it, did you?” 

For a brief moment, Joe’s expression faltered. His emotions visibly shifted as he looked at Skylar. There was an unfamiliar light in his eyes that gradually warmed his heart. 

“How did you know today was my birthday?” he asked. His gaze solely focused on her. 

Skylar grinned. “I figured it out with a bit of calculation.”

She then revealed a delicate jewelry box from behind her back. “Here’s your birthday gift. I didn’t have much time to prepare, so it’s not perfect. I hope you don’t mind.” 

Joe looked at the small jewelry box in Skylar’s hands. His movements were stiff as he took it from her. 

Skylar waited expectantly for a few minutes, but Joe still hadn’t opened the gift. “Go ahead, open it,” she urged. 

She was eager to see his reaction. Ever since she was young, she had loved receiving gifts from her brothers. Her birthday presents, whether a drawing, a frog, or a fish, were always 

varied and cherished. 

Her love for celebrating her birthdays stemmed from Steven, Charles, and Harvey always singing to her on those special days. 

Joe slowly and carefully unwrapped the box as if it contained something very precious. Inside lay a ring. The platinum ring had a very simple design. 

“Take a look inside. Other rings didn’t have the option for engraving, so I chose this one,” Skylar explained to Joe. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Skylar felt a bit nervous about giving gifts. She genuinely wanted to see if Joe appreciated her thoughtfulness. 

Joe took out the ring and examined the engraving Skylar had mentioned. It featured a quaint flower pattern along with the words “Happy Birthday“.
